Hi, I have prom coming up and i’m finally getting my chalazion removed after 3 years. however, unluckily for me, the date i’m getting it removed just happened to be the only one available which falls 5 days before prom so i don’t know if i’ll be able to get lash extensions or not

Often the lateral fat pad can be inadequately reduced or additional fat can herniate forward. As with any lower lid surgery, the main risks would be excessive fat removal (hollowness) and lower lid retraction (very rare when done with a transconjunctival approach).
It's possible that you have a small cyst under your skin, and if this is the case, a dilute steroid injection might be useful for eliminating the appearance of the bulge. Generally, a cosmetic dermatologist would be best at handling this. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
