If you're concerned that there is still an issue with your eye, it may be best to consult with an ophthalmologist so your condition might be treated and lead to improvement. The eyes and the eyelids should be healthy before considering eyelid surgery. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Since a stye is an infection in the eyelid causing swelling, it's probably best to wait a month after the stye has resolved to undergo elective cosmetic surgery on your eyelids.
