Upneeq® is a non-surgical solution that treats low-lying eyelids and provides patients with a lifted and refreshed appearance. Drooping eyelids, medically known as ptosis, can not only affect the way you look, but also the way you see. Acquired ptosis, or drooping eyelids, can arise from a number of reasons, including aging, stretching of muscles and ligaments, nerve damage, and more. With a single daily dose, Upneeq® patients can enjoy the transformative effects of lifted upper eyelids and an overall well-rested appearance. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we can help you achieve a rejuvenated appearance by non-surgically lifting the upper eyelids using Upneeq®.
Upneeq® is the only FDA-approved daily eye drop prescribed to treat acquired ptosis or drooping of the upper eyelids. Often developed later in life, drooping eyelids affect millions of people over the age of 40, affecting both self-confidence and vision. With a once-daily dose, patients can see a noticeable difference in the appearance and functionality of their eyelids. Using some of the latest medical advancements, Upneeq® requires no risky procedures or extensive surgery in order for patients to achieve bright, well-rested eyes.
It is often believed that the only solution to low-lying eyelids is undergoing a surgical eyelid procedure. However, this is not the case. Upneeq® offers NJ patients a non-surgical eyelid lift that is a painless solution to drooping eyelids. When used daily, patients can experience the benefits of Upneeq® for a minimum of 6 hours with just one drop. Upneeq® is safe for those who wear contacts or are currently using other eye drops. The effects of Upneeq® can be seen in as little as 5 minutes after applying the drops.
Upneeq® is a safe and effective way to achieve a lifted appearance of the eyes without having to undergo eyelid surgery. Upneeq® can be prescribed in-office once Dr. Asaadi performs a thorough evaluation to determine whether or not you are the right candidate. During your visit, Dr. Asaadi will discuss the proper use and answer any questions you may have concerning Upneeq®.

Your Upneeq® consultation will begin with a discussion of your medical history and general health with our renowned eyelid surgeon, Dr. Asaadi. Dr. Asaadi will then evaluate the condition of your eyelids and determine whether or not you are a candidate for Upneeq®. If so, Dr. Asaadi will prescribe Upneeq® and go over how the medication is to be used, potential side effects, drug interactions, and more.
An ideal candidate for Upneeq® is someone with acquired ptosis who is looking to lift and open their eyes without having to undergo a surgical procedure. While visible improvements will be seen, Upneeq® does not provide the results of a traditional eyelid lift. Dr. Asaadi will discuss what to expect and if Upneeq® is a realistic solution for you.
Upon using Upneeq® for the first time, patients can achieve lifted results in as little as 5 minutes. It is recommended that patients wait at least 15 minutes after applying Upneeq® before using any other eye medications or contact lenses. Although side effects are rare, some patients may experience temporary stinging, irritation, dry eyes, or blurred vision.
Most patients will see a noticeable difference after using Upneeq® for the first time. However, if you aren’t satisfied with the effects, Dr. Asaadi would be happy to discuss alternative options for treating drooping eyelids.
It is important that you choose a doctor that is knowledgeable in the anatomy of the eyelids as well as the causes and treatment of ptosis. Dr. Asaadi stresses the importance of choosing a qualified, experienced, and board-certified plastic surgeon when considering surgical or non-surgical eyelid treatments.
