Introduction
Gregory D. Lewen, M.D., F.A.C.S is a Double-Board Certified Ophthalmologist who specializes in Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, as well as cosmetic facial rejuvenation. Dr. Lewen’s surgical practice includes aesthetic, functional, and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids and mid to upper face, along with additional cosmetic services such as laser resurfacing, peels, and injectables.
There are many different forms of lumps and bumps that can be found in areas in and around the eyelids and upper face. The eyelid skin is the thinnest skin in the body, and thus very delicate. As such, the entire range of skin conditions and diseases can present very commonly in the eyelids and surrounding areas of the face. Although a trained physician should regularly evaluate all skin lesions, some particular characteristics of a skin lesion that would require more frequent check-ups include:
The most common type of lump/bump on the eyelid is a sty, a fluid-filled pocket that typically indicates infection. Most styes resolve without treatment, and medical attention is only necessary should the sty worsen or go deeper into the tissues around the eye.
Lump/bump on eyelid treatment is a simple office procedure that requires little to no downtime and may prevent complications.
Recovery after lump/bump on eyelid procedure varies based on the patient’s healing, type of procedure, and nature of the problem.
Lump/Bump On Eyelid Cost
Once Dr. Lewen determines the type of lump/bump on the eyelid that is causing your symptoms, he recommends a treatment plan that is the foundation of the cost. We encourage you to learn about our financing options prior to the consultation.
A bump on the eyelid typically indicates a problem within the skin of the eyelid. The first step in treatment is determining the nature of the bump, such as a sty, abnormal growth, or trauma-related concern.
A lump on the eyelid is typically indicative of a problem in the deeper tissues of the eye, and this may involve the blood vessels, muscles, and nerves, as well as the skin and fat.
