What Causes Eyelid Skin Cancer?
Skin cancers, often a result of sun exposure, usually present as painless bumps that crust or bleed. If the cancer is along the eyelid margin, it can result in lash loss.

Dr. Tresley utilizes his expertise to bring the eyelids back to their normal resting position through a variety of techniques. Sometimes he will need to perform an orbital decompression surgery which enlarges the bony orbital vault that the eye rests in to allow the eye to fall back into a more normal position.
Common Types Of Eyelid Skin Cancer
- Basal cell
- Squamous cell
- Sebaceous cell
- Melanoma
Treatment Options
These cancers typically grow locally and enlarge and destroy surrounding tissue. Sebaceous cell and melanoma are two more aggressive types and can spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body. Dr. Tresley will completely excise the cancerous area, allowing for clear margins and reconstruction. The removal can be performed under frozen section control or with MOHS micrographical excision. During your consultation, Dr. Tresley will determine which type of excision is warranted by your case.

Dr. Tresley will also determine the type of reconstructive procedure he will use, depending on the size of the defect after excision and the looseness of the remaining tissue. Dr. Tresley utilizes a large array, and will apply the precise one to ensure both the best anatomic and cosmetic results.

Hear What Dr. Tresely’s Patients Have To Say
“He is a wonderful doctor with exceptional skills. He fixed my eyelid after skin cancer removal and it looks fantastic. He showed me pictures and almost 3/4 of my eyelid was removed. You can’t even tell. He has hands of gold and is a great doctor. I couldn’t recommend him higher.”
“I went to see Dr. Tresley because I was unhappy with my eyes. Another MD had done my eyes and they just didn’t look right. Dr. Tresley knew immediately what to do and how to fix the problem. He never said a disparaging word about what the other MD had done. He was professional and gracious. I love my eyes now that Dr. Tresley has fixed them!”
