Chalazion Removal in Dubai

A chalazion is a small, typically painless lump that develops on your eyelid. It occurs when one of the meibomian glands, responsible for producing oil that lubricates the eye, becomes blocked. While chalazions are generally not serious, persistent or large ones may require professional treatment.

At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, the removal of an eyelid cyst (chalazion) is performed with precision and care to ensure the best possible outcome. Your journey begins with a consultation with an experienced eyelid specialist, who will assess the cyst and confirm whether surgical removal is the most appropriate option.

The procedure is minimally invasive and carried out under local anaesthesia for your comfort. A small incision is made – either on the inside or outside of the eyelid, depending on the cyst’s location – to allow for complete removal with minimal or no visible scarring.

Following treatment, you’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions to support proper healing and reduce the risk of recurrence. This careful, results-focused approach ensures both clinical success and patient confidence in every step of the process.

Our highly specialist eye surgeons will ensure you don’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure by administering anaesthetic eye drops. You may feel some pressure but won’t feel any pain. The process of chalazion removal is designed to be as comfortable as possible. 

In most cases, a chalazion does not affect eyesight. However, if the chalazion becomes large enough, it can press against the eyeball, leading to blurred vision or a distortion in sight. Prompt treatment can help avoid any impact on your vision.

Chalazions themselves are not contagious and cannot spread from one eyelid to another or from person to person. However, the underlying conditions that lead to the blockage of the oil gland, such as inflammation or infection, can sometimes affect more than one gland.

The healing process following chalazion removal varies from person to person. Following your eye cyst removal consultants care instructions, including applying any prescribed ointment and avoiding rubbing the eye, will aid in a swift recovery.

If you notice a cyst on your eyelid, it’s important to avoid touching or attempting to remove it yourself, as this could lead to infection or other complications. The best course of action is to book a consultation at City Dermatology Clinic. Our specialists, including skilled eyelid consultants, will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment, ensuring your health and safety are prioritised.

A lump on the eyelid can occur for several reasons, including blocked oil glands, infections, or inflammation. These lumps, often referred to as chalazions or styes, are usually harmless but can sometimes require medical attention if they persist or cause discomfort.

The eyelid cyst removal procedure at City Dermatology Clinic is typically quick, lasting about 30 to 40 minutes. This time includes the preparation, the removal itself, and a brief recovery period immediately following the surgery. Our goal is to ensure you’re comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.

Most patients require only a single session for eyelid cyst removal.  We also provide a 3 month guarantee , should the same chalazion return we can perform a further procedure at no extra cost.
