Shorten tuxedo sleeve from shoulder

Folks -

get a tux from a designer brand - usually those french brands' sleeves are a bit lengthy for asian people like me. I am london based, and went to a couple places to do see if they can shorten the sleeve.

the buttonhole are not functional - i was expecting tailors would do the shortening from the cuff but both tailors suggest to do it from the shoulder, as the buttonholes' relocation will leave marks on the sleeve.

Both of the tailors are fairly confident that they can handle it which i expect it's a big surgery to do. I am wondering if they messed it up, is there still ways to make it up? And how difficult this work is actually?

Many Thanks
