| Who would remove a skin tag on my eyelid ? A dermatologist or a plastic surgeon? Anyone else ever had one? Thanks! |

| I had mine removed with some sort of wand that had a laser or heat or something in it at the dermatologist. Insurance covered it but it would have been around 150 out of pocket. It stung when she wanded my eyelid (and I flinched so she had to do it a few times) but other than that pretty easy and simple. I went in for the consult and they offered to do it right there. I thought it would be a pain because eyelids are so delicate but it was easy! |

I had a dermatologist remove five on my eyelids a few weeks ago. She numbed it up and shaved or snipped them off. I was out in fifteen minutes.
Sore a little later that night when the numbing wore off but nothing bad. No scars. |

I have one that occasionally appears on my lower eyelid, right at the rim of the skin where it touches my eyeball. My GP, dermatologist and eye doc have all said to leave it alone and it will fall off. They don't want to mess with it.
It never did fall off. So I plan to remove skin tag |

My dog had one on upper lid! LOL It actually grew OUT like a long stem it was so weird. It got long enough to dangle in front of the dogs eye messing up its line of sight. My mom tied it off with dental floss and it fell off. I recognize yours are likely not that long, just thought I would share the story cause its kinda funny

+1. She is amazing. She did my eye lids, after I looked at the photo books of several plastic surgeons. |

Same. Eye plastic surgeon. It was no big deal except eye drops for 10 days after and no makeup for 2 weeks. |
