Eye Re-Surgery

Where Is Better for Revision Surgery for Asymmetry?

I only visited two places: my original hospital (1) and another hospital (2). I originally had natural adhesion + eyelid correction, and by my standards the right eye sat a bit higher, so I wanted to lower it. Both places recommended loosening only the right eye’s existing sutures and lowering the line. At the original hospital, they said my eye-opening strength was sufficient (the amount of iris showing was also similar), so they could just remove the sutures and lower the line. It’s been about 5 years since the surgery, so they felt that even if the eyelid correction were loosened, it wouldn’t drop..? At the new hospital, they said that if it’s loosened, the eyelid correction would have to be done again, so they should remove it and lower the eyelid correction line. The part about needing eyelid correction again is a bit of a concern. The price is: original hospital loosen sutures (30) + lower the line (27) = 57, but if eyelid correction ends up needed, add 82 The new hospital is 107 all together Honestly, price doesn’t matter that much to me; as long as they match the line well, I’d be happy with either one... The consultation at (1) was really long and sincere with the surgeon, while at (2) they just said to loosen it and lower it. A few questions... and the rest was handed off to the consultation manager... that part felt a bit off My mom, who came with me, said (2) seemed more confident...? But I did feel it was a bit careless (1) is sincere and everything is good, but since I messed it up once, I’m worried... I’m thinking of going to one more place, but I’m afraid I’ll just add more options and make it even harder to choose Do people usually go back to the original hospital for revision surgery?
