Reasons for the appearance of wen on the eyelids

Wen often appears in places where there is excess subcutaneous fat. Obese people are most predisposed to developing wen. To date, the causes of these formations have not been fully identified, which significantly complicates their treatment.

Among the main versions of the appearance of wen are the uncontrolled growth of adipose tissue and the pathology of fat cells. However, there are several other popular versions. So, wen on the eyelid reasons for their appearance:

• Metabolic disease.
• Constant overeating.
• Disease of the kidneys and genitourinary system.
• Diabetes.
• Hormonal disorders.
• Sedentary lifestyle.
• Obesity.
• Genetic predisposition.
• Skin injury.

The appearance of small wen on the eyelids may signal that there are certain disorders in the body. This often concerns the endocrine and digestive systems. You can identify violations by contacting specialists.

Symptoms

Neoplasms near the eyelids do not cause pain and do not cause any difficulties to the patient.

It is possible to detect a wen by the following signs:

• The growth is characterized by mobility and soft consistency.
• There is no painful sensation during pressing.
• The neoplasm can stop or accelerate in development. It is characterized by extreme mobility, but it is not recommended to touch it constantly.

Regular touching and pressing can cause destruction of the capsule where the adipose tissue is located, which will harm the general condition. Also, such an action can provoke a massaging effect and increase blood flow, which causes accelerated development of the wen.

Types of wen on the eyelids

Wen on the eyelids are classified according to their location. It could be:

• Wen on the upper eyelid is the most common formation, usually small in size. It creates the most inconvenience, since the wen hanging on the upper eyelid interferes with vision.
• Wen on the inner eyelid is a rare benign formation. If it appears, you should immediately consult a doctor.
• Wen on the lower eyelid is quite common. It causes discomfort and gives the eyes an unaesthetic appearance.

What to do if a wen appears on the eyelid

If a wen appears on the eyelid, it should not be touched under any circumstances. Doctors believe that this formation in this place is the least dangerous, since the risk of a significant increase in the wen on the eyelid is minimal. As a rule, the maximum diameter of the formation is 1.5 cm.

If a small wen appears on the eyelid, you should contact an appropriate specialist to be sure that it is really a lipoma and not another formation. Wen removal surgery is recommended to be performed by a qualified ophthalmologist.

Wen on the eyelid: how to get rid of it with the help of medications

Treatment of a wen on the eyelid can be carried out using medication. In this case, specialists (often ophthalmologists) give injections to patients, giving them medications that promote the resorption of the lipoma.

Treatment with medications is prescribed if the wen is small in size. Often the effect of the procedures is noticeable after at least 2 months. If such treatment does not help, the wen should be removed surgically or using a laser.

It is worth noting that wen on the eyelid that is not treated in a timely manner can cause discomfort and impair vision. In some cases, lipoma can develop into malignant tumors.

How dangerous are wen?

Lipomas never develop into malignant tumors, but since they can be located in internal organs and on the neck, compartment syndrome occurs when the tumor is large. Fatty tissues can compress blood vessels, respiratory tracts, and put pressure on bones, deforming them. Lipomas on the eyelids can interfere with normal vision and block the tear duct. Wen on the leg have a poor blood supply and can become necrotic, causing pain and intoxication.

Wen are not dangerous, but they cause trouble with their appearance. Multiple lipomas (hereditary lipomatosis) turn the skin into an unsightly bumpy surface, which repels others and creates many complexes. Modern medicine and cosmetology make it possible to get rid of wen of any location quite quickly and without problems.

How to remove a wen on the eyelid surgically

If a wen appears on the eyelid of a sufficiently large size (about 3 cm) and it negatively affects vision, this formation must be removed. The most popular method of getting rid of lipoma is surgery.

The operation consists of completely removing the fat capsule and adipose tissue that has grown on the eyelid using a scalpel. The procedure is carried out under local (if the lipoma is no more than 3 cm in diameter) or general anesthesia (lipoma more than 3 cm in diameter). The operation itself takes approximately 30 minutes. In the postoperative period, the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics to the patient. The wound healing process usually lasts 2 weeks.

How to remove wen on the eyelid using a laser

It should be noted that this method is suitable for those who do not suffer from disorders of the circulatory system. Laser removal of wen on the eyelid is the safest and most gentle method. Among other advantages, the operation takes place completely without blood.

The procedure usually takes 25 minutes. The wen is cut with a laser, and its edges are carefully moved in different directions. The fat capsule is grabbed with a clamp and pulled out. Most often, a carbon dioxide laser is used to remove lipomas. It takes 2-3 weeks for the wound to completely heal and restore the skin. Often, after removing a wen with a laser, patients do not have any traces on their skin.

The method of removing the wen is determined by a specialist. The laser is used if the diameter of the formation does not exceed 3 cm. If the lipoma is large, the doctor prescribes its removal using a scalpel.

Removing a lipoma on the eyelid is not easy. The most effective method in this situation is considered to be the surgical method.

Classic surgery involves removing the tumor through a minor incision. The patient is given local anesthesia. The operation must be performed by an ophthalmologist, since there is a risk of injury to the vessels under the skin of the eyelid.

New growths are also removed using a laser beam. This is the most reliable and harmless way. The recovery period is faster and there will be no scars left on the skin.
