A cyst developed on lower eyelid after surgery and Dr. said it would go away but it has been a year and it is still there. Should the dr. that did the surgery remove it and what is involved and should he charge me since it is from the surgery? Also will the cyst keep growing?

Answer: Follow up with your Surgeon I think if you trusted your Surgeon to perform your lower eyelid surgery, you can trust him to remove this niggling cyst, which after one year most likely won’t resolve on its own.. the most common cyst is a Milia and it’s as easy as un-roofing the cyst with a needle like cracking the egg open and simply squeezing the content out with q-tip, twizzer, or whitehead extractor .. I think most of us will gladly offerr this 2 minute service, gratis... but each office has their own policy....if the cyst proves to be something else other than a milia, it may require more work. I would first follow up with your Surgeon to find out the exact cause of the persistent cyst. Giod Luck
