What is Chalazion Treatment (Stye Removal)?
A Chalazion is a common eyelid lump caused by a blocked oil gland, resulting in a swollen, painless lump on the eyelid. While many chalazia resolve on their own with home care, some persist and may require medical intervention. When conservative treatments like warm compresses and medications are ineffective after a few months, surgical removal becomes necessary. Chalazion treatment is performed to remove the eyelid bump, relieve discomfort, and prevent further complications. This treatment and recovery is normally quick and effective and also helps rejuvenate the normal appearance and function of the eyelid.
How Do Stye and Chalazion Removal Treatment Work?
No scar: the cut is hidden within the inner eyelid. Immediate relief: noticeable improvement right after the procedure. Specialist expertise: performed by a highly skilled oculoplastic surgeon.
Chalazion treatment helps to clear the eyelid of lumps and stye by either draining or excising them. During the procedure, we make a small incision on the inner side of the eyelid, ensuring no visible scarring. The stye is then carefully drained or removed, and the area is cleaned to prevent a recurrence. This procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia as a day case, so you can go home within 30 minutes. Dr Shah-Desai, an expert oculoplastic surgeon, performs the surgery using precise techniques to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
