When Karen visited Dr. Scott in February, she was no stranger to xanthelasma, a condition that results in yellow discoloration around the eyes. She had previous surgery to correct the spots twice in the past 20 years. \u201cThey like to come back in different places,\u201d she says. But when the pandemic began in 2020, it delayed her plans for removal. In the meantime, the xanthelasma continued to grow.<\/p>\n

Karen visited the dermatologist who performed her prior surgeries, but they no longer did the procedure and referred her to Dr. Scott. Unfortunately, the xanthelasma had grown so large that Dr. Scott needed to perform more than one procedure. \u201cThey had to do it in three sessions because he wanted to make sure I didn\u2019t scar in an awkward way,\u201d Karen says. \u201cI understood, but I was sad. Dawn consoled me while I cried, and she understood I\u2019d had my heart set on having it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

After processing the disappointment, Karen moved forward. \u201cThey just numbed the area, and then Dr. Scott was able to cut and cauterize it,\u201d Karen says. \u201cI couldn\u2019t really feel it, and it was quick and easy.\u201d Recovery between the procedures took about eight weeks, and she had three surgeries in total. She is happy with the results and notes that there was minimal scarring.<\/p>\n

\u201cA little girl came into the shop where I work and asked, \u2018What\u2019s that?\u2019\u201d Karen remembers. \u201cHer poor mom was mortified, but I explained they\u2019re kind of like moles or freckles. But when you\u2019re wearing a mask, all you can see are a person\u2019s eyes, so they were definitely noticeable, and I\u2019m very glad they\u2019re gone now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karen is married with two college-aged daughters, 18 and 21. She works at the Girl Scout shop selling apparel, badges, and gear. Karen likes to get creative and make new things during her free time. She enjoys sewing, painting, scrapbooking, and other crafts and is also an avid bowler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf anyone asks me what happened to the things on my eyes or needs the same thing done, I would definitely recommend Eye Plastic Associates,\u201d Karen says. \u201cThe office staff was wonderful, they were always very pleasant, and it was easy to make appointments. The recovery was also quick, and there was no pain.\u201d We hope Karen\u2019s xanthelasma doesn\u2019t return anytime soon, but we\u2019ll be ready to take her call if it does.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
