Question

I'm 24 and have small xanthelasma under both eyes should I get them removed by a dermatologist or an ophthalmologist? Will they come back after surgery, and is there a risk of scarring?

Xanthelasma can be removed by dermatologist using laser or cautery; ophthalmologist is needed only if it's near eyelid margin—recurrence and mild scarring are possible.
