When you look in the mirror, noticing a new or changing lump around your eyes can be unsettling. Whether it is a simple skin tag, a stubborn cyst, or a mole that has shifted in appearance, these small changes can impact your confidence and peace of mind. Eyelid skin is incredibly delicate, and any lesion in this area requires a gentle, highly specialised approach to ensure both your eye health and a beautiful cosmetic outcome.
Whatever your situation, my approach to care completely leaves surgical ego at the door. I believe that meaningful treatment is never about a doctor dictating a plan. It is entirely about you. My absolute priority is to give you a safe space where you feel genuinely heard, validated, and understood.
As an Ophthalmologist and triple-fellowship trained Oculoplastic Surgeon, my clinical focus is dedicated to the delicate balance and health of the tissues surrounding your eyes. When we sit down together, we will carefully examine the area of concern, discuss its nature, and explore the safest, most effective ways to remove it whilst preserving the natural contours of your eyelids.
Using high-resolution photography and magnification, we will look at the possibilities together. We will openly discuss what can honestly and beautifully be achieved, ensuring you feel completely confident before making any choices. We will only move forward when you feel entirely ready and fully supported.
"True care means truly listening to what is on your mind, so that together we can safely address your concerns and restore your peace of mind."
- Dr. Swan Kang
Comprehensive Lesion Care
I diagnose and treat a wide variety of lumps and bumps around the eyes. This includes common benign conditions such as chalazion (meibomian cysts), skin tags, papillomas, xanthelasma, and moles. I also manage suspicious or changing lesions that require careful evaluation to rule out conditions like basal cell carcinoma.
Because the skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your body, any removal requires a highly specialised, delicate touch to protect the function of your eyelids and ensure the best possible aesthetic outcome.
Minimising Visible Scarring
As an Oculoplastic Surgeon, preserving your natural appearance is at the forefront of my mind. Whenever possible, incisions are carefully planned to follow the natural resting creases of your eyelids or facial lines.
I utilise micro-surgical instruments and ultra-fine sutures to close the area meticulously. While any surgical excision leaves a mark, these specialised techniques mean that scars typically heal beautifully, fading significantly over a few months until they are barely perceptible.
Prioritising Your Safety
In many cases, particularly if a lesion is new, growing, changing colour, or bleeding, I will recommend a biopsy. This simply means we send the tiny piece of removed tissue to a specialist laboratory for histological examination under a microscope.
This is a completely standard and safe practice that provides definitive answers. Knowing exactly what we are dealing with gives us both complete peace of mind and ensures that your onward care is based entirely on facts.
The best way forward is simply to have an open conversation. Every eyelid is different, and the right choice depends on the specific nature of your lesion and what you want to achieve. My role is to listen to your concerns and give you the clear, honest information you need to make the right choice for your health and comfort.
If you have a lump or bump you are worried about, or just want to chat through your options in a reassuring, pressure-free setting, please reach out to us to schedule a personal consultation.
