When reconstructing an epicanthoplasty, do they also remove the fixation sutures inside?

Is reconstruction originally done by removing the sutures that were fixed inside during the epicanthoplasty and covering the opened area with skin? To me, it looks like there’s a suture inside near the inner corner of my eye, but when I asked the hospital where I had the surgery, they said suture removal isn’t possible, so I’m looking into other hospitals. If it’s not possible, I feel lost wondering whether I have to live my whole life with the suture fixed in placeㅜㅜ It’s been about two years since I had the epicanthoplastyㅜ
