How soon after a chalazion removal can I get lash extensions done?

Question

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

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Your ophthalmologist may want to excise this bump but there is a highly effective alternative. A chalazia is an inflammatory lesion. It is exquisitely sensitive to corticosteroids. A small injection in the lesion has a very high probability of resolving even your three year old chalazia. I strongly encourage you to ask your doctor to inject the lesion with Kenalog.

I suggest you ask the person doing your procedure and person doing the lash extension.
It depends on the exact nature of the procedure and without more information I don’t think we can give you an appropriate answer.
My simple answer would be when you’re healed up that probably means about three or more weeks.
Best,
