Is there any way to get rid of this chalazion/ scar tissue once and for all? (photo)

Josieap
I had a massive chalazion and after each surgery it appeared smaller but it was still there. The second time I went for surgery the doctor said it was scar tissue left from the chalazion so he said he got most of it out and the eye drops should flatten my eyelids out. It's almost 2 weeks after surgery and it still looks the same to me, I don't really know how to help reduce scar tissue, and If I should use warm compresses a few days after the op. What can I do to reduce this bump appearance on my eyelid ?
