Learn More About Eyelid Cancer

Eyelid cancer is a disease that occurs on or in the eyelid. There are several common types of eyelid cancers, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma, and melanoma. 

At Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV, seasoned oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Shoib Myint offers eyelid cancer treatment to eliminate malignant tumors. His goal is not only to remove dangerous lesions but also to reconstruct the eyelid in order to restore a natural appearance. If you suspect you may have eyelid cancer or have noticed changes in the skin around your eyes, call our office today to set up a comprehensive exam.

The eyelids consist of some of the thinnest layers of skin on the body, which makes them more sensitive and susceptible to damage. There is no one specific cause of eyelid cancer, but risk factors include excessive sun exposure, advanced age, fair skin, poor overall health, and a history of skin cancer. 

The most common signs and symptoms of eyelid cancer include a flat or raised lesion on the eye, an ulcer or stye that does not heal, abnormal changes in the eyelid skin, loss of eyelashes, chronic itching, swelling, or infection.

Diagnosing eyelid cancer begins with a consultation with Dr. Myint, who will examine the affected eyelid. Then, if warranted, he will typically order a biopsy in which a small sample of the skin is taken and sent to a lab for analysis. In certain cases, a CT, MRI, or PET scan may be recommended. If cancer is detected, Dr. Myint can remove the affected skin while repairing the eyelid to retain its natural shape and appearance.

Eyelid cancer poses several risks, with prolonged sun exposure being a primary factor. Individuals with fair skin, light eyes, and a history of excessive sunlight exposure are at an increased risk. Age is also a contributing factor, with older individuals facing higher susceptibility.

Chronic inflammation or scarring of the eyelids, genetic predisposition, and a compromised immune system due to conditions or medications can elevate the risk. Smoking, exposure to environmental pollutants, and certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) have been linked to eyelid cancer. Additionally, a delay in diagnosing and treating suspicious lesions can increase the risk of complications and the spread of cancer.

Regular self-examinations, sun protection, and prompt medical attention for any changes in the eyelids are crucial for minimizing these risks.

Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of eyelid cancer. The most common form of treatment is surgical excision. Generally, Dr. Myint will first complete a thorough evaluation of the area and often coordinates with an on-site pathologist to ensure all the cancerous tissue has been removed.

In some cases, a dermatologic surgeon may be consulted for Mohs surgery. Dr. Myint will then reconstruct the eyelid to repair the treated tissue. As an expert oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Myint has the knowledge and skill to perform such a delicate and complex surgery.

When caught early, most forms of eyelid cancer are highly treatable and often curable. The prognosis depends on several factors, such as the type, stage, and location of the cancer. If the cancer grows enough that it impacts the surrounding tissues, your vision may become permanently compromised. When explaining your treatment plan, Dr. Myint will talk with you about what you can expect.

Dr. Myint will develop a treatment plan for your eyelid cancer regardless of the cancer type. He focuses on your long-term health as well as your appearance to ensure optimal results. Anyone is a good candidate for treatment in the hands of this experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon.

Patients may experience some side effects like bruising and swelling around the eye, but these should resolve within a short period. Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery will provide comprehensive postoperative guidelines to minimize discomfort and promote healing. 

Patients must follow all postoperative instructions and protect the surgical area as directed, as this will ensure safe and optimal results. We may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and progress after eyelid surgery.
