Does my chalazion appear to require surgery? (Photo)

Hello! Thank you for your question. I recommend giving the eyelid more time to heal and reduce the inflammation before considering surgical options. I believe too much of your eyelid would be compromised with surgery to remove it at this time. Consider waiting at least 3 months in order for the inflammation to resolve entirely. I recommend continuing your current treatment, as guided by your physician, and massaging the bump. I do believe the bump will continue to resolve over time. 

Surgery is a standard treatment for chalazia but it is mostly unnecessary. Surgery on your eyelid margin will permanently disfigure you. Don't take that risk. Almost all of these respond beautifully to a Kenalog injection. Some injectors use a combination of Kenalog and 5-FU. Find an oculoplastic surgeon in your area who does these injections and save yourself from a disfiguring surgery. Don't wait. Get treatment now.
