Hello, thank you for your question! Though similar in appearance and caused by debris trapped in your pores, milia should not be popped at home like pimples. Unlike acne, these annoying white bumps won't disappear after a few days and are best removed by a professional dermatologist. A board-certified dermatologist can gently, yet precisely extract the milia under the eyes or on the eyelids with sanitary equipment. I recommend visiting a dermatologist to minimize your chance of infection and learn more about the costs involved.
Milia are small cysts usually around the eyelid. They are easy to remove, kind of like getting a splinter out. I use the tip of an 18 gauge needle to barely break the skin and then the cyst usually pops out easily. In fact I just removed one from my anesthesiologist in the break room between cases yesterday. I would generally just charge for an office visit. I can not speak for other surgeons but if someone charges much more than 100$ or so--leave. A primary care doctor, find an old one, should be able to do this. Good luck, Jane.

Thanks for your questions and photo. I think that you have some brow asymmetries for sure. I would recommend starting with Botox conservatively anywhere from 15 to 35 units. Botox in Arizona costs$10-$12 per unit. The other thing you can try is a thread lift Since you appear to be relatively...
The degree of brow retraction reflects the degree of ptosis - the worse the ptosis, the higher the brow is likely to be to compensate for the low lid position. The technique itself won't make a difference in the post op brow position, but there will be a difference indirectly, in that...
Looking at your photo, the left eye does appear to be slightly more proptotic (i.e. it seems to stick out more from the eye socket) compared to the right. Have you ever had issues with the sinuses, sinus surgery, nasal obstruction, and/or facial trauma resulting in facial fractures? I would...
Eye asymmetry could be due to eyeball position asymmetry or eyelid asymmetry. Need consultation with an oculoplastic specialist to determine the cause of the eye asymmetry which would determine possible treatment.
