Sausage eyes? Revision surgery review

<At the time of my first surgery (the left line was higher, and I was walking around with my eyes only about half open)><At the time of my first surgery (there was some scarring from the upper epicanthoplasty on both sides ㅠㅠ)><A little over one month after revision surgery><Day 100 after revision surgery><Around day 80 after revision surgery? When I had makeup on>I had revision surgery at Aiting Plastic Surgery for incisional ptosis correction and lowering the line (skin excision)! My first surgery was done with the incisional method + ptosis correction + epicanthoplasty + upper epicanthoplasty in a semi-out line! Even after 6 months, the line was too high, so it was harder to open my eyes than before surgery, and I was stressed about the appearance too, so I started looking into revision surgery. I visited a total of 8 clinics, including Aiting Plastic Surgery, and at 7 of those clinics, I was told the line was too high and that it would need to be lowered with a double-line incision technique. Among the clinics I visited, only Director Jang Junyoung explained that the line could be lowered through skin excision, and because he was the only one saying something different from the specialists at the other clinics, I was worried and suspicious, so in my case, I went for another consultation 2 weeks before surgery and asked a ton of questions about everything I was concerned about... haha He was the only one whose opinion differed from the other clinics, but the reason I trusted and chose Aiting Plastic Surgery was that I knew that during my first surgery, the line fixation had not been done strongly, and although both eye lines had been designed at the same height, the results came out with a height difference between the two eyes. Even though I did not mention these two points first, Director Jang Junyoung was the only one who accurately identified and explained them during the consultation. (He said that because the fixation was loose, there was more skin laxity than expected.) It has now been about 100 days since my revision surgery, and opening my eyes has become much more comfortable. People around me also say that after the revision surgery, my eyes look much clearer and more open, so these days I am doing well without feeling stressed haha More than anything, I thought I would need the double-line incision technique, but I had surgery with skin excision, and the line was neatly organized into one line, so I think I am even more satisfied :D I wanted to lower the line to an in-out line, but because I had scarring from the upper epicanthoplasty and had already had canthoplasty, every clinic, including Aiting, explained that it might look like a semi-out line. In reality, my right eye did turn out semi-out..! (But I had already been told at several places before surgery that this could not be helped, so I have just accepted it and am living with it.) Oh, and maybe because Director Jang Junyoung considers incisional ptosis correction important, he explained many times even before surgery that he might do early re-correction after checking my progress at week 1 and week 2. It felt reassuring and good that the attending doctor would check my condition during the 2-week golden time for ptosis correction, and because he checked my progress at week 1 and week 2, I think I got through the post-surgery recovery period without much worry. The director also personally checked my progress at 1 month and 3 months after surgery, and when I asked about things that bothered me or things I was curious about, he did not simply say, "It is because of swelling, so wait and it will be fine." Instead, he explained what the current issue was due to, and how he would resolve it if it still remained after 6 months, so I liked that he also took good care of the post-surgery care! For those who, like me, are looking into line lowering and incisional ptosis correction, I really hope you at least have a consultation with Director Jang Junyoung..! The consultation was extremely detailed, and besides the things I asked about, he explained a wide range of things, so I think it was very helpful!
