Chalazion: You can be put to sleep but since this is minor surgery you are better off if you have it done under local.

yes: General anesthesia can be used for chalazion removal. Advantageous for those who are too anxious to have the office procedure. Disadvantages include additional costs and small increased risks of anesthesia.
