  If you know if you’ve got a benign lump on your eyelid, often that can be removed in its entirety just around that lump itself.
  However, if we find there is a skin cancer that needs to be removed, we often have to take off a few millimeters around what we see to ensure we’ve got all the roots of that cancer out and to ensure there’s no recurrence. We can then perform reconstruction of your eyelid as needed going forward.
