I have very ugly deposits above the crease of my eyelids I know they can be removed but I cant find a doctor that does this. Could you direct me to a doctor in East Tennessee to assist me with this awful problem?

Answer: Treatment of cholesterol deposits in eyelids You are most likely describing xanthelasma, benign growths that have a waxy-yellow color. The best treatment for this condition is surgical excision. That is to say there are no laser treatments that have been found to be consistently effective in the treatment of this condition. Treatment of this condition is typically not covered by insurance as it is of cosmetic concern only; there is no danger associated with this condition. Unfortunately I do not know if there are any doctors in your area who have expertise in treating this condition.

Answer: Cholesterol deposits from my eyelids. Either Surgery or Laser will work. It depends on how big they are and how much of extra loose skin you have.Typically these occur in the eyelid skin closer to the nose and hence removal of too much skin can affect your eyelid closure. So it is important you chose your Surgeon well. These are due to internal causes in either fat or cholesterol metabolism and your Physician can help you by running some lab tests and recommending some medications. Otherwise these tend to recur in the same place.All the best
