Xanthelasma Removal Patients Review - Dr. Israt Jahan

Xanthelasma are yellow growths on or near the eyelids. They can be flat or slightly raised. They form when deposits of cholesterol (lipid or fat) build up under the skin. While xanthelasma themselves are not harmful, they can be a sign of heart disease.

Causes of xanthelasma:

Some think xanthelasma is linked to having high cholesterol levels (fat in blood) passed down from parents. This is because up to half of those with xanthelasma have high cholesterol. But the other half have normal cholesterol. So, some think other causes such as inflammation lead to xanthelasma.

Who is at risk for xanthelasma?
Anyone can get xanthelasma. But you are more likely to get it if you:

1. Smoke
2. Overweight
have high levels of fat—such as cholesterol—in your blood
have high blood pressure or diabetes
