• Syringoma: benign (non-cancerous) small bumps caused by overgrowth of sweat gland ducts, often seen around the eyes, cheeks, and sometimes elsewhere.
• Xanthelasma (palpebrarum): yellowish fatty/cholesterol-rich plaques/deposits under the skin, usually around the eyelids. They are harmless medically, but often removed for cosmetic reasons.

Why is the removal done?

• Aesthetic/appearance concerns: visible bumps or plaques around the eyes or face.
• Sometimes irritation, though more commonly, people remove them for cosmetic reasons.
• In case of Xanthelasma, since they are associated with cholesterol deposits, doctors may also evaluate lipid profile or other metabolic causes. Removing them doesn’t treat the underlying cause, though.

Healing Time and Downtime

• Swelling, redness, and mild bruising are common, especially around the eyes, in Xanthelasma. Usually settles in a few days (2-5 days).
• Suture removal (if surgical excision) is typically after 5-7 days for eyelid lesions.
• For syringoma removal, recovery may take 7-10 days or so, depending on the method; redness and scab formation are possible.

Risks / Side Effects

• Possible scarring — more likely if the lesion is deep, excised, or healing is not optimized.
• Pigment changes (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation), especially in darker skin, or from methods like cryotherapy or lasers.
• Recurrence is possible, especially for Xanthelasma (unless the entire deposit is removed) and syringoma (they can reappear over time).
• Swelling, mild pain, and discomfort during healing. Risk of infection if aftercare is not followed.

Expected Outcomes

• Visible reduction or removal of syringoma bumps or Xanthelasma plaques. Smoother skin and improved appearance.

• For Xanthelasma, if surgical excision done neatly, minimal scarring, good cosmetic finish, but some visible mark may remain.

• For syringoma, flattening of bumps; depending on method may require more than one session.
