Best to discuss with your surgeon who performed the initial procedure. Eyelid chalazion can sometimes be tough to remove and require secondary procedures. See following link. I have personally have had them myself that needed to be removed. Video on the link below.
Hello,As mentioned by the panel member, having an additional treatment is not unusual for optimal results. We recommend waiting a minimum of 4 weeks between steroid injections if this was the course of treatment you had. Your physician will be able to offer the best feedback for this point in time of your healing.
The vast majority of these lesions respond beautifully to a kenalog injection which is a steroid. Occasionally a second injection is needed. Unfortunately, surgeons don't make as much money for the injection compared to the surgical removal. Some are not aware that the lesion is so sensitive to the steroids. I recommend letting the eyelid heal about 2 months. If your bump is still bothering you, consider a kenalog injection rather than more chalazion surgery.

It would be unusual to separate upper and lower eyelid surgery, unless that is your desire. Having both done concomitantly saves anesthesia, cost and two recovery periods. It is ultimately your decision, but it is not the norm to separate them.
Usually the webbing gets worse. You want to wait about 3 months from your surgery and then consider eyelid web scar surgery. See following link for an example.
You have the beginnings of festoons, which are hard to treat. I would recommend surgical excision, if possible, plus laser resurfacing and microneedling to help improve the quality of the skin. What you cannot fix with treatment you can camouflage with a hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler, such...
The right upper eyelid is worse than the left upper eyelid but not by much. This is corrected with ptosis surgery. There are two types of ptosis surgery: Anterior and posterior ptosis surgery. You most likely need anterior levator ptosis resection surgery. Not every plastic surgeon is tr...
