Why I can't close my eye while look down after ptosis surgery?

true_rhee
I'm woman 30yo had ptosis surgery in mid august 2015. The surgeon attached the eyelid to the muscle forehead, tightened it. I cant close my eye while look down after ptosis surgery which make me look creepy. Is this temporary? If its the risk, can i have an undo surgery to loose the tightened muscle? I mean its ok to have ptosis again rather than creepy eye? Is there any risk for my forehead, eyelid & muscle? Is there any better way to fix it?
