What is Acquired Ptosis?
Acquired ptosis is a condition that causes the eyelids to sag or droop. It is also called blepharoptosis or droopy eyelids. It usually occurs when the muscles around the eyelids are stretched or weakened. This causes the eyelids to droop lower than normal.
There are several reasons blepharoptosis may develop. These include:
- Age
- Genetics
- Cataract surgery
- Contact lens wear
- Underlying medical conditions
- Botox injections
Acquired ptosis can make you look tired and older than you actually are. It causes the eyes to look smaller than they actually are. The condition can also interfere with your ability to see clearly, which can be problematic for day-to-day activities such as reading, driving, or using a computer.
What is Upneeq?
Upneeq is a prescription eye drop that consists of oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution. It is the only FDA-approved eye drop designed specifically for acquired ptosis, also known as droopy eyelids. The solution temporarily lifts the upper eyelids, opening the eyes wider for better vision and an enhanced look.
Patients suffering from blepharoptosis no longer have to resort to eyelid surgery, as Upneeq is a non-invasive, safe, fast-working, and effective treatment. With just one dose a day, patients can see a noticeable difference. Clinical studies show an average eyelid lift of approximately one millimeter.
How Does Upneeq Work?
Upneeq is an eye drop formula, so you apply it directly from the vial into the eyes. One drop for each eye per day is the typical dosage. Most patients see results within two hours of applying the eye drops.
Using Upneeq is easy. You simply cut open the foil package, remove the single-use vial and apply one drop of Upneeq into each eye. If you wear contact lenses, take them out to apply the eye drops. After applying Upneeq, you can throw away the vial and reapply contact lenses after 15 minutes.

Am I a Good Candidate For Upneeq?
If you suffer from droopy eyelids, you may be a good candidate for Upneeq. The formula was specifically designed for acquired ptosis, eyelids that have developed droopiness or sagging over time. This includes acquired ptosis brought on by age, contact lens use, or Botox injections that have traveled from the forehead down to the eyelids.
Upneeq is not designed for people who have congenital ptosis. If you have had droopy eyelids since birth, eyelid surgery may be a better option for you. Your doctor can advise you on the best course of action for your particular situation.

Upneeq Consultation
Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva, MD, offers Upneeq consultations at the LEA Plastic Surgery center in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA.

Upneeq is designed to combat drooping eyelids caused by acquired ptosis or Botox injections. However, low-lying lids may be related to other conditions such as brain aneurysm, stroke, myasthenia gravis, eye infections or eye tumors. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any of those conditions.
Once the specialist determines that you are a good candidate for Upneeq, they will thoroughly explain the treatment procedure including safe use of the product, anticipated results, and duration of the treatment. The doctor will then provide a prescription for Upneeq.
