Can You Fix Your Droopy Eyelids with Eye Drops?

Sep 18

Droopy eyelids, medically known as ptosis, can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals, affecting their appearance and, in some cases, their vision. Traditionally, the primary solution for ptosis has been surgical intervention. However, advancements in medical treatments have introduced non-surgical options, such as Upneeq eyedrops. At Avance Plastic Surgery in Reno, we offer Upneeq as a revolutionary treatment for droopy eyelids. Let’s explore how these eyedrops work and whether they can effectively address your concerns.

Understanding Droopy Eyelids (Ptosis)

Ptosis occurs when the upper eyelid droops over the eye, which can be caused by various factors, including aging, muscle weakness, nerve damage, or congenital conditions. Droopy eyelids can make you appear tired or older and, in severe cases, can obstruct your vision.

Introducing Upneeq Eyedrops

Upneeq is the first and only FDA-approved prescription eyedrop specifically designed to treat acquired ptosis. These eyedrops contain oxymetazoline hydrochloride, which stimulates the muscles in the eyelid, causing them to contract and lift the eyelid. This temporary effect can help improve the appearance of droopy eyelids without the need for surgery.

How Upneeq Works

Upneeq works by targeting the Müller’s muscle, a small muscle in the upper eyelid. When you apply the eyedrops, the active ingredient, oxymetazoline, activates the receptors in the Müller’s muscle, causing it to contract. This contraction lifts the eyelid, providing a more open and alert appearance. The effects of Upneeq can be seen within minutes and typically last for 6 to 8 hours.

Benefits of Using Upneeq for Droopy Eyelids

Upneeq offers several advantages for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution for droopy eyelids:

1. Non-Invasive Treatment

One of the primary benefits of Upneeq is that it provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery. For those who are hesitant or not ready for surgical intervention, Upneeq offers a convenient and painless option to improve the appearance of their eyelids.

2. Quick and Convenient

Using Upneeq is simple and quick. A single drop in each affected eye once a day is all it takes to see results. This makes it an easy addition to your daily routine.

3. Immediate Results

Unlike surgical treatments, which require recovery time, Upneeq provides immediate results. You can see the effects within minutes of application, making it ideal for special occasions or daily use.

4. Improved Confidence

By lifting the eyelids and creating a more youthful and alert appearance, Upneeq can help boost your confidence. Feeling good about your appearance can positively impact your overall well-being.

Is Upneeq Right for You?

While Upneeq is an effective treatment for many individuals with acquired ptosis, it is essential to determine if it is the right option for you. Here are some factors to consider:

Degree of Ptosis: Upneeq is most effective for mild to moderate cases of droopy eyelids. Severe cases may still require surgical intervention.
Underlying Conditions: It is crucial to identify and address any underlying conditions contributing to ptosis. A comprehensive evaluation by a medical professional is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment.
Allergies and Sensitivities: Ensure you are not allergic to oxymetazoline or any other ingredients in Upneeq.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!

Dr. Dayan and his team are the best of the best! The level of care, professionalism is top of the class. I strongly recommend Dr. Dayan and his entire team. I cannot say enough about his work - he is incredibly talented and I am confident under his care. Of course the results are amazing! I love my LIPS!
