Eyelid Cyst Surgery

At A Life Health Group, our goal is to maintain your eye health and quality of life at the highest level. Eyelid cysts are a common condition that can affect both appearance and daily comfort. On this page, we provide detailed information about eyelid cysts and their surgical treatment. You will find information about what an eyelid cyst is, its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, surgical options, and the services offered by A Life Health Group.

An eyelid cyst is a fluid-filled, benign lump that develops on the eyelid. These cysts typically appear on the upper or lower eyelid and are usually harmless. However, in some cases, the cyst may grow, become infected, or cause cosmetic concerns. While eyelid cysts are often considered a cosmetic issue, they can sometimes cause pain, swelling, or visual disturbances.

The formation of eyelid cysts is usually related to blocked oil glands or eyelash follicles. Additionally, some cysts can develop due to aging, hormonal changes, or chronic eye infections.

Eyelid cysts are usually painless and symptom-free. However, when a cyst grows or becomes infected, the following symptoms may appear:

• Swelling on the Eyelid: Swelling becomes more noticeable as the cyst enlarges.
• Redness on the Eyelid: The eyelid turns red if the cyst becomes infected.
• Pain on the Eyelid: Infection can cause discomfort or pain in the affected area.
• Tenderness on the Eyelid: The eyelid may become sensitive when the cyst is infected.
• Visual Disturbances: If the cyst grows large enough to cover the pupil, vision may be affected.
• Eye Discharge: Infection can lead to discharge from the eye.

These symptoms can impact the patient’s quality of life and cause discomfort during daily activities.

Eyelid cysts generally form due to blocked oil glands or hair follicles in the eyelid. Other contributing factors include:

• Aging: Natural changes in the eyelid tissues can lead to cyst formation.
• Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels can affect gland function.
• Chronic Eye Infections: Repeated infections may trigger cyst development.
• Trauma or Irritation: Injury or constant rubbing of the eyelid can contribute to cyst formation.

Understanding the underlying cause helps in determining the most effective treatment approach.

The diagnosis of an eyelid cyst is usually made through a physical examination. A specialist carefully examines the eyelid, evaluating the cyst’s size, location, and structure. Additional tests may be performed if necessary:

• Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, CT, or MRI can be used to assess the depth and structure of the cyst.
• Biopsy: A tissue sample from the cyst can be examined under a microscope to determine the exact type of cyst.
• Eye Examination: Overall vision and eye health are evaluated to ensure no functional impairment.

Accurate diagnosis is critical for selecting the most effective treatment method and preventing potential complications.

• Medical History: Any existing health conditions should be reported to your doctor before the surgery.
• Medication Use: Blood thinners or similar medications may need to be paused prior to the procedure.
• Nutrition: Maintaining a healthy diet before surgery is recommended.
• Eye Hygiene: Keeping the eyes clean before surgery helps reduce the risk of infection.

Eyelid cyst surgery is a surgical procedure performed to permanently remove a cyst. The surgery is usually carried out under local anesthesia. During the procedure, a small incision is made at the site of the cyst, and the cyst tissue is carefully removed.

Surgical Procedure

• Anesthesia: Regional or local anesthesia is administered.
• Incision and Cyst Removal: A small incision is made depending on the size and location of the cyst.
• Closure: The eyelid is sutured to close the incision.
• Recovery: Postoperative swelling and bruising typically subside within a few days.

Advantages of the Surgery

• Permanent Removal of the Cyst: Reduces the risk of recurrence.
• Relief from Pain and Discomfort: Eliminates pain caused by the cyst.
• Improvement in Vision: Cysts that obstruct the pupil are removed.
• Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: Restores the natural look of the eyelid.
• Psychological Comfort: Reduces aesthetic and social concerns.

Does an eyelid cyst go away on its own?
Generally, cysts do not disappear on their own and may grow over time. Surgical intervention may be required.

How long does the surgery take?
The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes, and in most cases, patients can be discharged the same day.

Will there be a scar after surgery?
Since small incisions are used, scarring is minimal and usually becomes unnoticeable over time.

Can it recur?
When the cyst is completely removed surgically, the risk of recurrence is very low.

The cost of surgery may vary depending on the size and location of the cyst, as well as the technique used. For pricing information, you can contact the A Life Health Group call center or fill out the quick form on our website.
