Purpose: To report the plasma therapy technique and its clinical outcomes in patients with benign eyelid lesions. Methods: This is a retrospective, noncomparative, interventional study. The study included 71 eyes of 66 patients who underwent plasma exeresis for benign eyelid lesions in our clinic between February 2018 and December 2022. Patient symptoms, cosmetic outcomes, and complications were evaluated. Results: The lesions were removed with a single plasma exeresis treatment in all patients. The mean size of the lesion at its largest part was 5.5 ± 1.2 mm (range, 3.0–8.8 mm). No complications were encountered during the procedure. The mean procedure time was 4.0 ± 0.7 minutes (range, 3–6 minutes). Postoperatively, only 3 cases (4.2%) with tarsal conjunctival extension had mild irritation symptoms such as pain, discomfort, and redness. The treated areas were fully improved cosmetically, and all patients were satisfied with the cosmetic outcomes. Conclusions: The plasma therapy technique for removing benign eyelid lesions offers minimally invasive surgery, less discomfort, fast recovery, and successful anatomical and cosmetic outcomes.
