Because recovery takes time, the eyelid should heal a minimum of 6 to 12 months before considering ptosis surgery. I often do not surgically remove chalazia but inject them with Kenalog. This has a high rate of success but even this non-surgical approach can result in upper eyelid prosis.
It is possible for it to be permanent eyelid ptosis after having an eyelid chalazion. The eyelid is unlikely to change after 3 months. See an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation.

Thank you for your question. Festoons are very common. They are also challenging to treat. You can hide them with injectable fillers. Many surgeons now utilize an insulated cautery device to shrink the tissue under your skin. This is done with a local anesthetic through a tiny incision.Best wishes.
