6 months after incisional epicanthoplasty, should I do it again?

<When looking elsewhere><When closing my eyes><When winking><Adhesion at the end of the line when smiling?>It’s been 6 months since I had epicanthoplasty, ptosis correction, and incisional double eyelid surgery, At first, when there was swelling, I didn’t really notice it, but as the swelling goes down, I can increasingly feel the line getting distorted.. When I open my eyes looking straight ahead, it’s okay, but when I look elsewhere or close my eyes, etc., the front part of the line on my left eye looks distortedㅠ When I close my eyes, the lines on both eyes come down along the crease and form hook-shaped scars.. The hospital where I had the surgery says it’s judged based on when the eyes are open, so they say there’s no problem (though it does seem like a common standard among clinics). But I said, it’s not like a person lives only with their eyes open, I also close my eyes and smile, and it’s uncomfortable, so they said if it really bothers me, they would do an A/S revision. A while ago, I also had a revision consultation at another clinic, and they said they understand what I mean, but that with time the line will rise (is that even possible..?) They told me to just put away the mirror and wait 1 year lolㅠㅠ They said if I do a revision unnecessarily, I might just end up with more scarring.. Since that made sense, I did wonder if I should just live with it. But although I’ve seen swelling go down and the line become lower, I haven’t seen cases like mine, where the line is bumpy/uneven (especially the inner corner/front part), improve smoothly, so if it’s this much at 6 months, is there any need to wait until the 1-year markㅜ In a case like mine, if I do A/S or a revision, is it right to revise only the epicanthoplasty?? When I open my eyes looking straight ahead, it’s okay, and I just dislike that the front line of my left eye looks distorted (as the swelling goes down, it seems to show more even without closing my eyes).. Could you please take a close look and tell me!!!
