ugh, i had to get this. i was 12, but they numbed me up like crazy so it wasn’t very bad. the only uncomfortable part, for me, was when they twirled that stick around in my eye.
it was terrible, because the lump burst open on the top of my eyelid, so it was all bloody. sickkkening.
i have one. i need to get removed on my upper eye lid.
one question i was want answered is.. Where do they poke the needle at? on the eye lid where the lump is?
and how deep do they stick it in if its only on the eye lid.. cuz its not exactly a big chunk of meat, its only a thin layer.
I just had mine removed and it is absolutely painless! Probably the most annoying part for me was just the eye drops he put in before the surgery, but that’s it!
Its great to see this video because, I can actually see how the procedure is done. I had chalazions removed in the past, and now I actually see how is done, its great!
As soon as you notice a chalazion, is best to go to the doctor to confirm it is one and start treatment. I had one removed two weeks ago and it didn’t go away. I did notice the DR. worked on it to quick, so I had the entire chalazion still inside. I went back to the Dr. and this time he game me a steroid injection in the inside of the eyelid. It was not really painful just uncomfortable to have eyelid clamp holding the eyelid back.
Had a chalazion removed out of my eye today, the most painful part for me was the injection on the eye lid, put the rest was painless, had a very good Dr. I had 8 chalazions in the past, and realized that removing it from the lower lid was more painful then from the upper lid. To prevent chalazions, is best never to wear eye makeup, wash your eyes daily with baby shampoo, then wipe dry with a cotton, take omega 3 vitamins daily, and stay away from dusty places.
I’ve had 4 chalazions in the past couple years. Luckily, only one had to be removed surgically. My advice to anyone with them is to nip it in the bud before it gets too far along. The surgery was VERY painful. I was gripping the table so hard that I thought I was gonna break it, lol.
im getting a surgery to get mine done because compresses wont help its kinda pig and UNDER my leye lid on the bottom eyelid, not the top! right uner my eye and its under the skin
I just had the same procedure on thursday. Thankfully I was under sedation and felt nothing. I was weird though, waking up at the end of the procedure while the Dr was still working on it. There was smoke (or steam) coming from whatever instrument she was using and then the “q-tip” wiping my eye. Kinda cool actually.

I say the best treatment is to use baby shampoo to clean your lids daily, that and an oral antibiotic after surgery and mine went away.
