Not really: It is a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia.

The shot hurts: Most of the time you will get an injection to numb the area and the shot hurts like a bee sting. It lasts a few seconds and by the time you say your favorite swear word, the pain is gone.

Skin tag: pain is a variable experience but most patients have no problems with skin tag removal, Your best bet would be to have your eyes evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Minimal discomfort: Removing a skin tag off of the eyelid is usually a fairly straightforward procedure with minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is usually sufficient for removal with minimal swelling and bruising.
