Eyelid Fat Lumps: Causes and Treatment | Bangkok Eye Hospital

Understanding Eyelid Fat Lumps

Eyelid fat lumps, also known as cholesterol deposits (xanthelasma) or lipomas, are small, benign growths that appear on or around the eyelids. While they are generally harmless, they may cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. At Bangkok Eye Hospital, our specialists provide advanced treatments to safely and effectively remove eyelid fat lumps.

Common Causes of Eyelid Fat Lumps

What Leads to the Development of Eyelid Fat Lumps?

  • High Cholesterol Levels – Xanthelasma is often associated with elevated cholesterol.

  • Aging and Genetics – Some individuals are predisposed to fat deposits around the eyes.

  • Skin Conditions – Chronic inflammation or irritation can contribute to lump formation.

  • Benign Fat Tumors (Lipomas) – Soft, movable lumps under the skin made of fat cells.

  • Sebaceous Cysts – Blocked oil glands may cause small, painless lumps.

Who Is at Risk?

  • Individuals with high cholesterol or lipid disorders.

  • People with a family history of xanthelasma or lipomas.

  • Those over the age of 40, as aging increases the likelihood of deposits.

  • Patients with chronic skin conditions or eye irritation.

Symptoms of Eyelid Fat Lumps

  • Yellowish, soft, or firm patches on the eyelids.

  • Painless lumps that slowly grow over time.

  • Mild irritation or discomfort in some cases.

  • No impact on vision unless the lump becomes excessively large.

How Are Eyelid Fat Lumps Diagnosed?

  • Physical Examination – Ophthalmologists inspect the lumps to determine their nature.
