Would it be misery to get chalazions on both upper eyelids removed at the same time?

Asked By:ag1999 in Sterling Heights, Michigan

I have had large chalazions on each upper eye lid for 4 months. Will it be misery to have them both removed at the same time? I really just want to get it over with all at once. I don’t really want to do one and then the other. Also I am 30 weeks pregnant, I was approved for lidocaine by my OBGYN, no epinephrine though. I can take Tylenol as well. Will it be tolerable to do it all at once? I won’t be able to do it after delivery with an infant and 2 year old at home, rather do it now.
