Excision Cyst Upper Lid Procedure
Upper eyelid cyst removal is a simple procedure that involves the removal of a cyst located on the upper eyelid. This procedure is performed on patients who have a cyst, or a chalazion, that has not gone away after two months. During this intervention, the surgeon will use specialized tools to remove the cyst. If a cyst is not removed, it can cause an infection in the eye, and make it difficult for patients to see properly.

When is This Procedure Necessary?
While most chalazia are harmless and resolve on their own within a few weeks, there are circumstances where eyelid cyst removal becomes medically necessary. One such situation is when the cyst grows excessively or does not respond to conservative treatments like warm compresses and gentle massage. If left untreated, an enlarged chalazion can cause discomfort, and pain, and affect vision by inducing astigmatism. Additionally, recurrent or multiple chalazia may require removal to prevent further infections or complications.
What To Expect
An upper eyelid cyst removal procedure is a minor surgical technique that typically takes no longer than 20 minutes. Patients are under local anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. After sterilizing the area around the eye, a small incision is made on the affected eyelid to drain and remove the cyst. In some cases, the surgeon may use a small clamp to help stabilize and elevate the eyelid during surgery. The incision is closed with tiny sutures that are typically removed within one week.
Recovery from eyelid cyst removal is usually swift, with minimal discomfort experienced post-surgery. Antibiotic ointment and warm compresses are commonly prescribed to aid in healing and prevent infection.
