Ptosis Correction + Full Incision

I had surgery in January 2020. Because I had used double-eyelid glue and tape for a long time, my eyelids were very stretched, and I had a habit of opening my eyes with my forehead. I often heard that I looked angry or sleepy, and my uneven eyes stressed me out so much that I decided to have surgery! I debated a lot between non-incisional buried sutures and incision. They said buried sutures would probably be fine too, but I was worried it might come undone later, so I went with incision. On the day of surgery, the waiting time was delayed, so including the waiting time and surgery time, I think I was at the hospital for about 5 hours. I kept waiting in the lobby, then changed clothes and waited again in a place like an inpatient room in front of the operating room. Other than the long wait, everyone was kind, and the hospital cleanliness was okay. I had the surgery by incision, but there wasn't as much swelling as I expected, and for swelling care I only used cold compresses. One eye had rather severe bruising, but it didn't show when I wore glasses, and the swelling on both sides went down at a similar pace. People seeing me for the first time couldn't tell I had eye surgery. They set the in-out line at 8 mm, but after the swelling went down, I wished I had gone a bit bigger. Since my left eye already had a double eyelid, maybe that's why the front part of the line settled into the old line. So the inner corner area on the left feels a bit sharper, and the right side feels rounder? In photos it does look like uneven eyes, but when I ask people I know, they say it's okay. Still, overall I'm satisfied.
