My epicanthoplasty and double eyelid revision surgery went wrong

In 2020, I had epicanthoplasty + ptosis correction + double eyelid surgery (inline buried sutures). Since then, I had developed a hooked, indented scar from the epicanthoplasty, but I just thought the double eyelid crease had formed incorrectly, and since it didn’t show when I kept my eyes wide open, I just lived with it. Earlier this year, after seeing photos related to epicanthoplasty complications, I realized that the crease at the inner corner of my eye that had been bothering me all this time was actually a scar caused by a complication, so I went ahead with double eyelid revision surgery. Even though I had undergone ptosis correction, opening my eyes felt harder than before I had double eyelid surgery, so I decided to have ptosis correction again and to have the line re-fixed to match the epicanthoplasty scar crease. But the scar and the double eyelid line did not connect naturally at all, and because the line became higher, the epicanthoplasty scar actually became more noticeable, which led me to join this community. I have been waiting all this time, believing it would get better once the swelling went down, but nothing has changed, so I look in the mirror every day and feel depressed. Please help me...
