Is having a cyst like lump normal to have after chalazion surgery?

September 5, 2016
Asked By:chalazionqueen in Iredell, TX

After I had my chalazion surgery, I was left with a small lump on my top eyelid where my cyst had been. With closer inspection, if I pull back the skin to let the lump surface it seems to be a white colour. A lot like the colour of my cyst that had been there. My cyst was quite big (bigger than a pea) and I had the cyst for three months. The lump I have now is a lot smaller but it looks like the beginnings of how the cyst started in the first place. The removal of the cyst was only 5 days ago.
