Am I able to get a Blepharoplasty surgery done if I have a hardened chalazion?

Asked By:Cherrypiesunday in Dallas, TX

I have a hardened chalazion on each upper eyelid that haven't gone away on it's own yet. It's been about a year since they've hardened and I was wondering if that would complicate the surgery?
