No, Upneeq should not make your existing ptosis worse. In fact, it’s designed to temporarily improve the appearance of drooping eyelids. Here’s how it works differently:
- Upneeq’s Action: Upneeq targets a specific muscle in the eyelid (Mรผller’s muscle) to lift it, counteracting the drooping.
- Ptosis Causes: Ptosis is often caused by weakened or stretched eyelid muscles and tendons due to factors like aging or medical conditions.
Possible Scenario: In some cases, if Upneeq wears off and your ptosis is fairly severe, the contrast between the lifted and then lowered eyelid position might be more noticeable to you.
Important: If you have concerns about how Upneeq is affecting your ptosis, discuss them with your doctor at AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills. They may suggest alternative treatments or approaches tailored to your condition.
