About the procedure

Chalazion excision or stye removal is a minor surgical procedure to drain or excise a persistent chalazion (meibomian gland cyst) or an external stye that does not respond to conservative treatment. It is performed under local anaesthesia, with incision and curettage for chalazions, while some cases may be managed with steroid injection. Clinical examination ensures correct diagnosis and excludes atypical lesions. Post-procedure care includes topical antibiotic or steroid ointment and follow-up to monitor healing, with swelling typically resolving within days to weeks.
