Treatment for Eyelid/Facial Lesion Excision
During your examination, Dr. Kalyam will excise the entire lesion and send it to pathology (if lesion is benign) or take only a portion of the lesion and send it to pathology (if lesion looks potentially cancerous).
This procedure is performed in the office and a local anesthetic is injected to numb the eyelid. Dr. Kalyam perform biopsy and specimen is sent to pathology for further analysis. In many cases, the defect heals itself over the course of couple of weeks and sutures may not be necessary.
Decisions Based On Pathology Results
If pathology results show cancerous growth, then Dr. Kalyam will work with a highly trained dermatologist to clear the margins of cancer and later Dr. Kalyam will perform Skin Cancer reconstruction. (Hyperlink the Skin Cancer Reconstruction to the page in our website eyelid-cancer-reconstruction/)
