Was my doc too aggressive? 2mm protrusion for TED, 1mm sclera showing in R-eye, now I look far worse and need correction

Anonymous2661434
Surgery#1 - OD, & ventricle implant for 1mm sclera, 2mm proptosis. Seemed extreme to me. 1 wk postop lower eyelid pulling from scar tissue forming. Given steroid shots, then dr. suggested to remove the scar tissue via surgery - which only made things worse, more pulling and more sclera showing. Surgery#2 the implant was not removed and I grew scar tissue back faster. Is this normal procedure for scar tissue, MORE surgery?
