What causes a chalazion?
The gland involved in the formation of a chalazion is a modified sweat gland that lies within the eyelid. This gland produces oil. When this gland becomes blocked, it can rupture and the inflammation process begins. A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected.
Can eyelid plastic surgery take away the fatty bad tissue from chalazion?
Depending on where the chalazion is located on the eyelid it most definitely can be removed during the process. If it is too close to the lashes, it likely would not work, since in the surgery the Surgeon removes the interior tissue. This also applies if the chalazion is too far underneath the brow. A video of this actual procedure is attached, but be warned it can be considered graphic by nature to some viewers. There is nothing overly grotesque about it, but it does show the surgery. This can give a person an idea of how the surgery could successfully remove a chalazion if in the proper location.
