What is Chalazion Removal?
Chalazion removal is a minor surgical procedure for treating chalazion, cyst-like lumps that form due to a blocked oil gland in the eyelid. While smaller chalazions can sometimes resolve on their own, large or persistent ones may require surgical intervention. The procedure involves removing the chalazion under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.

She is personable and easy to talk to. When I met Dr Davidson I felt he was legitimately answering my questions and addressing my issues with genuine honesty and concern. Will be returning!!”
Candidates for Chalazion Removal
Ideal candidates for chalazion removal are individuals with a chalazion that has not responded to at-home treatments, such as warm compresses or medication. You may be a suitable candidate if your chalazion is causing pain, discomfort, interfering with your vision, or minimizing your confidence. The best way to determine your candidacy for chalazion removal is through a one-on-one consultation with one of our experts at Rostami OPC in McLean, Virginia. During your consultation at Rostami OPC, our specialists will assess your condition to determine if chalazion removal is the appropriate treatment for you.
Chalazion Removal Treatment
At Rostami OPC, chalazion removal is performed in our state-of-the-art clinic. After numbing the affected area with local anesthesia, a small incision is made on the inside of the eyelid to remove the chalazion without visible scarring. The procedure is quick, typically taking only about 15 to 30 minutes, and is performed by our experienced oculofacial surgeons who specialize in eyelid surgeries.
