Lift Droopy Eyelids and Brighten Your Look with Upneeq

Are droopy eyelids making you appear tired or less alert, impacting your self-confidence? Ptosis can affect both your appearance and vision, making daily life more challenging. At Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute (NPSI), we offer Upneeq, a prescription eye drop that temporarily lifts the upper eyelids for a more open and refreshed look. Under the expertise of Dr. Jacob Unger, known for his innovative approaches to aesthetic treatments, we provide compassionate, personalized care to help you regain a brighter, more youthful appearance.

What Is Upneeq?

Upneeq is a prescription eye drop formulated to temporarily lift droopy eyelids caused by acquired blepharoptosis (ptosis). It contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride, which stimulates the Müller’s muscle in the eyelid to contract, resulting in a noticeable elevation of the upper eyelid. This lift can improve both the appearance of the eyes and, in some cases, the field of vision.

At NPSI, Upneeq is prescribed after a thorough evaluation by our professionals to determine its suitability for your condition. The treatment involves instilling one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Patients often notice an improvement in eyelid elevation within minutes, with effects lasting up to eight hours. Upneeq offers a non-surgical option for those seeking a temporary solution to droopy eyelids.
