Xanthelasma treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Xanthelasma is a yellowish deposit of fat that forms in the skin of the eyelids, usually near the inner corner of the eye. These are benign, soft lesions that can appear on one or both sides.

How they look: Flat, yellowish, well-defined plaques or small bumps on the eyelids, which tend to grow slowly over time.

Points to consider: They are sometimes associated with changes in blood fat levels, so it is advisable to bring them up during a consultation.

Which specialist assesses it? The dermatologist examines the xanthelasma and, when a metabolic disorder is suspected, the endocrinologist can complement the evaluation; the plastic surgeon and the aesthetic physician address the cosmetic aspects. Reviewing it with a professional helps understand its origin.
