Excision of a dermolipoma is a surgical procedure to remove a dermolipoma, a benign growth composed of fatty and fibrous tissue, typically located on the conjunctiva of the eye.
The procedure is performed for cosmetic or medical reasons, such as when the growth restricts eye movement, irritates surrounding tissues, or requires confirmation of its benign nature.
The surgery is done under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon carefully removes the dermolipoma and may reconstruct the affected tissue if necessary.
Recovery is usually quick, often involving antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection. The procedure is considered safe and effective.
