I have a chalazion on my lower eyelid since past 3 months. Doctor used injection to treat it last week. It has not resolved fully and i might have to get it again after a month. Can i get dermal filler for tear troughs after about 15 days of injection ?
Answer: Dermal filler near chalazion I would recommend waiting to get dermal filler until your chalazion resolves. Inflammation from the chalazion can distort your final results from the filler. You are also at a higher risk of infection by introducing filler material into an inflamed area with bacteria. For chronic chalazions, you may want to have an in-office evaluation to consider having the cyst removed. After the removal, you can have filler placed confidently after it has healed.

Answer: Dermal Fillers It would be my strong recommendation that you finalize your treatments for your chalazion before beginning any elective cosmetic treatment and injections near the affected area. Best wishes,
