Eyelid Surgery for Growth Removal
What is Chalazion Surgery?
Chalazion surgery is an outpatient procedure used to treat persistent or particularly large chalazia. These are small, often painless lumps that form on the eyelid due to blocked oil glands.
While many chalazia resolve on their own with warm compresses or medication, some may linger, cause discomfort, or affect eyelid appearance, making surgical removal the most effective solution.
During the procedure, Dr. Rogers carefully drains and carefully removes the chalazion under local anesthesia, providing quick relief and reducing the risk of recurrence. This precise approach not only restores comfort but also helps maintain the natural, smooth contour of the eyelid for a healthier overall appearance.

When to Consider Corrective Action for Eyelid Growth
You may be a candidate for Chalazion or growth surgery if you have a persistent eyelid lump that does not improve with conservative treatments such as warm compresses, topical medications, or steroid injections.
Surgery is typically recommended for chalazia that are large, recurrent, or causing discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concerns.
During your consultation Dr. Rogers will evaluate the size, location, and duration of the growth, as well as your overall eye health, to determine if surgical removal is the most effective option. This procedure is generally safe, quick, and can provide long-lasting relief while restoring a smooth, natural eyelid appearance.
