I had left eye ptosis surgery 5 days ago and I'm shocked how wide open my left eye is now? (photo)

Whereas the right eye has 5mm (0.2 inch) between the rim of the lashes and the lid crease - the left eye almost has no space above the lashes. I cannot believe how my left eye looks - something went wrong - what can be done??? Maybe the doctor cut too much skin away?
