A Non-Surgical, Liquid Eyelid Lift from Male Plastic Surgery Experts
At Male Plastic Surgery, we understand that even subtle changes around the eyes can make a dramatic difference in how you look and feel. If your upper eyelids appear droopy or heavy, Upneeq offers a quick, non-invasive solution designed specifically to address acquired ptosis—without surgery or downtime. This once-daily prescription eye drop lifts the upper eyelid, helping men achieve a more refreshed, alert, and youthful appearance.

What Is Upneeq?
Upneeq (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.1% is the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drop for acquired blepharoptosis—a condition where one or both upper eyelids sag due to aging, nerve damage, or muscle weakness.
Offered as part of our non-surgical treatment options at Male Plastic Surgery, Upneeq provides a subtle lift that enhances the eyes in just minutes, giving men a sharper, more energetic look.
How Quickly Does Upneeq Work?
Most patients begin to see a visible lift within 5 minutes of application. Peak results typically occur around 2 hours after use, and a single dose lasts up to 8 hours. Whether you’re headed to work, the gym, or an event, Upneeq offers a quick and reliable solution with no disruption to your day.

How to Use Upneeq
Men using Upneeq should apply one drop in the affected eye(s) once per day. If you wear contact lenses, remove them prior to use and wait 15 minutes before reinserting. When using other eye medications, allow at least 15 minutes between applications.
As with all services offered through Male Plastic Surgery, our providers will give clear guidance to ensure safe, effective use tailored to your needs.
Is Upneeq Right for You?
Ideal candidates for Upneeq are men experiencing low-lying eyelids or acquired ptosis. Whether due to age, weight loss, trauma, or fatigue, drooping upper eyelids can make you look tired or less confident.
Upneeq is offered as part of our non-surgical suite of aesthetic solutions—perfect for men who want noticeable results without the commitment of surgery or downtime.
You may be a candidate if you want to:
- Improve symmetry and openness of the eyes
- Look more awake and refreshed
- Avoid surgery or invasive treatments
- Enhance appearance for photos, events, or professional settings

Are There Side Effects?
Upneeq is safe when used as directed. In clinical trials, a small percentage of patients experienced mild side effects such as:
- Redness or dryness
- Eye irritation or blurred vision
- Headache
Patients with cardiovascular issues, immune-related dry eye (such as Sjögren’s syndrome), or untreated narrow-angle glaucoma should consult their doctor before use. All potential risks will be reviewed during your Male Plastic Surgery consultation.
Why Men Choose Upneeq
For men interested in subtle aesthetic improvements without surgical intervention, Upneeq provides a unique opportunity. It’s discreet, fast-acting, and effective—ideal for those who want a cleaner, more awake appearance with zero downtime.
As part of the Male Plastic Surgery philosophy, we prioritize results that enhance masculinity and confidence while respecting your time and goals. Upneeq fits seamlessly into that mission.
