Will my eyes look normal after surgery to remove eyelid cancer?

If your surgery is performed by an experienced eyelid (oculoplastic) surgeon, it is likely that your eyes will look normal after removal of the skin cancer, especially if the lesion is small. With larger tumors, the surgeon will need to remove more eyelid tissue. This entails a larger and more complex reconstruction. Nevertheless, oculoplastic surgeons have the training necessary to maintain normal eyelid shape and function even in this scenario.
