I have been researching xanthelasmas ever since they appeared around my eyes a few years ago. There is not much out there - the causes are vague and the natural therapies questionable. Even with laser and surgical treatments, they are likely to return. I have doubts that they appeared due to my change of diet to HFLC, because I don’t believe I have increased my saturated fat or cholesterol intake from previous levels.
I even joined Dr. William Davis’s Undoctored Inner Circle group just to ask him specifically about this issue. He had no insights.
I have given up, really, as mine are very small and don’t seem to be growing, but every once in a while I check to see if there is any new info to be gleaned.
I believe they are age related, perhaps due to a previous lifetime of poor eating habits and perhaps just something I have to live with.

An interesting blog post of one woman’s search for answers and her overview of the options;
