I have a lump under my left eyebrow. Can it be removed and who can do it please? (Photo)

Question

The lump is like a hardened blood clot or cyst. It may have been the result of a contusion or similar damage from a fall or strike to the area around the eye socket.  It is a hard piece of something.

Thomas A. Pane, MD · Answer

You will benefit from an in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon.  Either can carefully assess this lesion and remove it with minimal visible scarring.

Thomas Buonassisi, MD · Answer

If you have a lump under your left eyebrow that feels like a hardened blood clot or cyst, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Such lumps may be the result of trauma, such as a contusion, and could require evaluation by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. These specialists can assess the lump and determine if it can be safely removed, as well as discuss the best course of action based on its size, location, and underlying cause. Early evaluation is recommended to ensure proper care.

It is likely a bone cyst or inclusion cyst. See an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon for evlauation and its removal.

Daniel J. Givens, MD · Answer

Dermoid cysts, epidermal inclusion cysts, and other growths can arise in the area around the brow.  Seek consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon, general plastic surgeon, or occuloplastic surgeon to evaluate it and recommend the approach for removal.  In some cases, a direct approach with an incision over the mass may be preferable, and in other cases it may be better to use a blepharoplasty incision which will hide the scar.Best Wishes

An in-person consultation is highly recommended to properly assess and proceed.  It is easily removable once we determine the issue.  Tissues near the eyes are thin and heals very well with minimal scarring.  Good luck!

It is not clear from the picture what exactly it is. But it can be removed from an upper eyelid crease incision.

Flora Levin, MD, FACS · Answer

I suggest a consultation with an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon to evaluate and discuss treatment options. This can usually be excised with the incision hidden below the eyebrow.
