Asked By:alexishernandez in Long Beach, CA

I am supposed to get a chalazion removed on my upper eyelid on Wed and was curious if it is safe for me to fly the next day. The flight is 27 hours after my surgery and is a short distance from LB ca to PHX az. I was curious if it would be safe or cause more swelling? A few years ago I got my wisdom teeth removed a month after I flew to London, the left side of my face became swollen from where they had removed my wisdom tooth... so I am scared what if my eye swells up and something goes wrong.
