Eyelid Lesion Removal & Repair in Windhoek

About this service

Eyelid lesion removal and repair is a surgical procedure available in Windhoek to remove a lump, cyst or growth on the eyelid, with repair carried out afterwards where needed to keep the eyelid functioning and looking as natural as possible. Eyelid lesions can be uncomfortable, affect vision, or simply be a cosmetic concern, and removal also allows the tissue to be checked if there's any doubt about what it is. Because the eyelid is delicate, careful surgical technique matters.

At Eastgate Clinic this procedure is performed in our on-site day theatre, with consultation and follow-up managed by your GP in our rooms. Your doctor will advise on the best approach for your lesion.

What to expect

• A consultation and eye examination in our rooms before surgery is planned
• Performed under anaesthesia in our on-site day theatre
• Mild swelling and bruising around the eye afterwards is common
• Sutures, if used, are typically fine and removed during a follow-up visit
• Follow-up appointment to check healing and eyelid function
