Post chalazion procedure: how long will it take for the appearance of the lump to go away?

February 22, 2019
Asked By:hdn5 in Portland, OR

I recently had a chalazion procedure. A lot of pus was removed. I assumed the appearance of a lump would be reduced. I read another post saying that it will take weeks/months for the body to dissolve the "walls" of the chalazion due to inflammation. Is this true? How long will it take for my eyelid to go back to looking normal? Is the appearance of the lump/the feeling of a solid mass still being there just the remnants of the chalazion's "walls"? Please give me any more details you have.
