Chalazion removed 3 weeks ago - small hard bump still there. Will it go away by itself? (Photo)

Asked By:kdublin in Ireland, IN

Hi! I had surgery to remove a champion on my upper right eye lid 3 weeks ago. It's a lot better now but I still have a small hard bump on the eyelid which is neither growing or subsiding. Should I go back to the doctor or is it just scar tissue that'll go with time? I use eye drops to keep the eye moist and wash the lid morning and evening with warm water.

Blepharoplasty and von Willebrand. Is it too risky?
Sheldon S. Kabaker, MD FACS (retired) says:

You first need to discuss this with your hematologist. For a facelift I would insist on preopertive treatment. For upper lid blepharoplasty you might not need any.
