It can recur: Try hot compresses as many time as you can do and as maximum heat as you could tolerate
You might need another surgery to remove it if that does not work

Perhaps new: Chalazions are the end result of some styes which form a cystic wall around the inflamed gland. You could theoretically develop a stye at each eyelash. It is possible that the surgery did not get it all and it recurred - check with the ophthalmologist who did the surgery. But it could also be a new one given that you are susceptible to these lesions.
