No: If done properly by a the right optho surgeon, and the correct medications are used, you should have no pain with that type of procedure.

Usually not: Chalazion can be uncomfortable and often requires surgical drainage if antibiotics and steroids are ineffective. The treatment is usually not painful and takes only a few minutes to perform.
