Can i get my chalazion removed with eyelash extensions?

Question

I had a sty several weeks ago and my doctor gave me an ointment with antibiotics. The swelling and pain went away after I finished the antibiotics but soon after a chalazion formed. I was told I most likely have to get it removed with an injection. Can I undergo the removal with eyelash extensions?

Tanya T. Khan, MD · Answer

Hello, I would advise a possible Kenalog injection to the chalazion (upon formal clinical evaluation with an oculoplastic surgeon or ophthalmologist) -  the injection can be safely performed through the skin side, however, should likely clean first with alcohol to maintain sterility. Possible that the injection can be performed without having to remove the eyelash extensions.
