By William Portuese, MD - Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon

The most conservative treatment directed towards reducing the fat pads on the lower lids are to make sure that your thyroid hormones are within normal range and that you do not have thyroid disease.

A: Correcting eyelid bulges

By Darrick E. Antell, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

What you described could be small eyelid cysts as you mentioned they are just under the eyelashes. Fat pockets typically are lower down from the lash line than what you described.

A: It may be xanthelasma.

By David C. Pearson, MD - Jacksonville Facial Plastic Surgeon

A picture of your eyelids would really be helpful here, but what you're describing sounds a lot like a condition known as xanthelasma. Xanthelasma is not corrected with a lower blepharoplasty, but the unsightly blobs can often be easily treated in the office. The important point, though, is that a significant... more
