Eyelid Cancer Surgery

Eyelid cancer surgery is a medical procedure aimed at removing cancerous growths on the eyelids. The surgery can involve excising the affected tissue, which may include some surrounding healthy skin to ensure all cancer cells are removed. Depending on the tumor's size and location, various techniques, such as Mohs micrographic surgery, may be used to minimize damage to surrounding tissues. The goal is to eliminate the cancer while preserving as much eyelid function and appearance as possible. Recovery typically involves monitoring for healing and managing any discomfort, with follow-up appointments to ensure the cancer has not returned.
