I see no reason why you can't swim a week after chalazion excision.  That said, it is always best for you to check with your doctor to get his/her opinion.

Yes you can do your normal activities one week after the chalazion excision.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is always difficult to comment without seeing photos and without knowing what was done during surgery. I would check with your PS

Hi. Most patients can return to normal activity a week after chalazion removal. Check with your surgeon to be sure though. Best regards, Ira Vidor, M.D.

Elbert T. Cheng, MD · Answer

I would ask your surgeon if it is ok to go swimming.  1 week may be a little early after surgery, but again, I would defer to your surgeon.
