Upneeq, Botox, and blepharoplasty are all ways to address eyelid concerns, but they work in very different ways:
- Upneeq:
- Non-surgical, daily eye drop application.
- Temporarily stimulates a specific eyelid muscle for a lifting effect.
- Best for mild to moderate acquired ptosis (age-related drooping or other causes).
- Results noticeable within hours, but effects wear off when you stop using it.
- Botox:
- Injections that temporarily relax targeted muscles.
- Can be used for brow lifts and to smooth wrinkles around the eyes.
- May indirectly improve eyelid position in some cases.
- Results last several months.
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery):
- Surgical procedure to remove excess skin, muscle, or fat from eyelids.
- Offers a permanent and more dramatic correction for severe ptosis or excess eyelid skin.
- Requires a recovery period.
Choosing the right option: The best approach for you depends on the severity of your drooping, your desired outcome, and whether you want a temporary or permanent solution. A consultation at AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills can help you understand the pros and cons of each treatment and create a personalized plan for your eyes.
