A member asked:
How is surgery performed to remove chalazion under upper eyelid? is the lid cut open, or is it removed from underneath? worried about ugly scarring.

Scar not a concern: Chalazia are removed from the inside of the eyelid and so do not result in a visible scar.

Underneath: This surgery is done under local, with special clamp that everts the lid and allows all the surgery to be done from underneath. The skin is undisturbed and there will be no scar.
