Yellow patches on eyelids

Hi

I developed yellow patches on my eyelids and under my eyes pre-transplant. Read it can be a sign of poor liver function so that makes sense, however it has got slightly worse post transplant.

My liver function is excellent and cholesterol is low so I’m not sure what is causing it and my consultant didn’t seem very interested ( probably because not really very important in the scheme of things)

Just wondered if anyone else has experience similar issue. I believe the condition is called Xanthelasma? Thanks
