How To Get Rid of Xanthelasma | Xanthelasma Treatment | Remove Cholesterol Deposits From Eyelids Xanthelasma are cholesterol deposits that appear around the eyelids, often as yellowish or whitish plaques on the upper or lower eyelid. While they are not usually harmful, they can be cosmetically distressing and sometimes indicate underlying lipid disorders. In this video, Dr. Ankit Gupta explains what xanthelasma is, why it occurs, and how it can be effectively treated. ✅ What is Xanthelasma? Xanthelasma are fatty deposits composed of cholesterol that build up under the skin, particularly in the thin and delicate skin around the eyelids. They may appear in people with high cholesterol, high triglycerides, or other lipid abnormalities, but they can also develop in individuals with normal blood lipid levels. These deposits may increase in size over time and affect both appearance and confidence. ✅ Why Does Xanthelasma Occur? The most common reasons include: High cholesterol levels (LDL – “bad” cholesterol). High triglycerides. Genetic predisposition. Lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, or smoking. Systemic conditions like diabetes or metabolic syndrome. It is strongly recommended that anyone who develops xanthelasma should undergo a lipid profile test to check their cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Managing these levels through medication, diet, and lifestyle changes is crucial to prevent recurrence. ✅ Treatment Options for Xanthelasma There are several ways to treat xanthelasma, but not all are equally effective: Laser Treatment (CO2 or Er:YAG): Burns away the cholesterol deposit superficially. Can leave behind scars, pigmentation, or uneven skin texture. May require multiple sessions. Chemical Peels: Use acids to remove superficial layers of skin. Works only on the surface level. Often leaves pigmentation or broad scarring. Radiofrequency Ablation / Cauterization: Removes the deposit with heat. Not suitable for larger lesions. Scarring and recurrence are possible. Surgical Excision (Preferred Method): Direct removal of the deposit under local anesthesia. The surgeon removes cholesterol from the skin, dermis, below the dermis, and even from within the orbicularis muscle. Gives the best results with a thin scar hidden within the natural eyelid crease. Low recurrence rate when combined with lipid control. Dr. Ankit Gupta explains that superficial treatments like laser or peels often leave broad scars because they burn the upper layers of skin without addressing the deeper deposits. On the other hand, surgical excision allows complete removal, resulting in a much finer scar and better cosmetic outcome. ✅ The Surgical Process Local anesthesia is given to numb the eyelid area. A small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid. The cholesterol deposit is carefully excised from the skin, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and orbicularis muscle. Fine sutures are placed, which heal well with time. Within 1–2 weeks, most swelling resolves, and results become visible. ✅ Post-Treatment Care After surgical removal of xanthelasma: Mild swelling and redness may last for a few days. Antibiotic ointment and cold compresses help healing. Stitches (if non-dissolvable) are removed in 5–7 days. Patients should monitor their cholesterol and triglyceride levels regularly. Follow a healthy lifestyle – balanced diet, exercise, and prescribed medication to prevent recurrence. ✅ Lifestyle & Medical Management Even after removal, xanthelasma can recur if the underlying lipid levels are not controlled. To prevent recurrence: Get a lipid profile test done (cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL). Follow a low-fat, high-fiber diet. Include regular exercise in your routine. Take statins or lipid-lowering medications if prescribed by your physician. Avoid smoking and alcohol. ✅ Patient Results In this video, Dr. Ankit Gupta shows a patient with xanthelasma who underwent surgical excision. Before surgery, the deposits were prominent above the eyelids. After surgical removal, the patient achieved excellent results with a natural crease line scar that was barely visible. ✅ Key Takeaways Xanthelasma = cholesterol deposits on eyelids. Best treated with surgical excision for long-lasting results.
