After undergoing eyelash gland extraction, such as chalazion surgery, it's important to allow adequate healing time before considering another extraction.

Recovery from a chalazion surgery generally takes about 7 to 10 days for the surgical incision to heal. However, full recovery, including the resolution of any swelling or bruising, can take approximately 1 to 3 weeks, and the appearance of the eye may continue to improve over 1 to 3 months. Therefore, it might be advisable to wait at least several weeks to allow proper healing before scheduling another eyelash gland extraction.

Healthline mentions that if the initial procedure did not resolve the issue or if multiple glands are involved, consulting your healthcare provider for a follow-up and potential further treatment is essential. They can give you a personalized recommendation based on your specific healing progress and any underlying conditions.

In summary, it’s prudent to wait at least 3 weeks or longer after eyelash gland extraction before considering another procedure, but always consult with your eye care professional for guidance tailored to your recovery status.
