Eye Re-Surgery

I’d like advice on undoing buried-suture double eyelid surgery

It’s been about 2 and a half years. My left eye had a very overlapping double eyelid, and my right eye had a thin semi-out line. Because my friends around me were so pretty, every time we took photo-booth pictures together or just spent time together, I kept putting myself down. I’d had a complex about my appearance since school, and in a rush, without thinking rationally, I ended up getting buried-suture double eyelid surgery + epicanthoplasty…. Anyone could tell my natural eyes were better, and the surgery was so obvious. The lines looked like crazy “sausage” eyelids that didn’t harmonize with my face, so for a year, until I got used to them, I shut myself in and took medication for depression and anxiety disorder. Now I’ve adjusted a little, so I go to school and meet people, but.. every time I look at photos of my natural eyes, I regret it so much. Financially and appearance-wise, everything has been a minus, and I want to go back…. People say my eyes now are okay too, but for 2 and a half years I haven’t gotten used to them, and I feel like both the double eyelid surgery and the epicanthoplasty are obvious… I want to go back to my natural eyes…. That’s why I want to go back. I want to ask everyone for advice, and the deeper details are: 1. Would it be right to go back to the hospital that did my first surgery and have them undo it? —> While researching in communities, I saw many posts saying that for undoing buried-suture double eyelid surgery, it’s definitely best to go to the doctor who did it… But since they messed up my first surgery…. I’m so scared to entrust them with a revision… 2. I went in person to consultations at several hospitals known for difficult eye cases, and almost all of them weren’t confident that it would come undone. They said we could try once first, and if it doesn’t work, try again with an incision method or buried sutures. (Some hospitals also asked why I wasn’t having it undone at the hospital where I had the first surgery.) Only the ㄱㄴㅅㅇ hospital confidently said that they were the originator of buried-suture removal and had a personally developed method, and that even people who had it done 10 years ago were able to have it undone. (They were actually so confident that it was a bit scary..) If I do undo it, I was thinking of going to someone who has a clear perspective on suture removal, like ㄱㄴㅅㅇ… Where would be good to have it undone..? Would the hospital that did my first surgery be better…? And I’d also appreciate it if people who have experience undoing buried-suture double eyelid surgery could share their stories….. I’m scared I’ll end up with awkward eyes again and become mentally unwell…
