Asked By:Terri2023 in Las Vegas, NV

I had a full thickness excision and biopsy of a chronic Chalazion in September 2022. The ocuplastic surgeon also repaired an eyelid notch caused by scarring from another Chalazion The biopsy was benign. My concern is that it has been four months and my left upper eyelid is quite droopy. Other than eyedrops is there any way to improve the appearance of my eyelid?

Answer: In the future, do not let ophthalmologists do such disfiguring surgery for the treatment of a chalazia.
