Acquired Ptosis Treatments in Ann Arbor, MI
In addition to sagging skin on our cheeks, chests, and brows, the aging process may also result in drooping upper eyelids. Acquired ptosis (or blepharoptosis) not only compromises your full field of vision, but your appearance as well. Before embracing limited surgical options, you might prefer a simple, prescription treatment that creates real results from the comfort of your home rather than the operating room. Upneeq at Ganger Dermatology is that treatment.
A Drop a Day Keeps Drooping Eyelids at Bay
When treating eyelid ptosis, surgical interventions work by removing skin and closing the wound. By contrast, Upneeq works like any other eye drop solution. With just a single drop in the affected eye or eyes each day, Upneeq quickly lifts the upper eyelid for a fuller range of vision and a fuller appreciation for your appearance.
The position of your upper eyelid is determined by an involuntary facial muscle (the levator palpebrae or “Muller’s” muscle, to be exact). Upneeq improves eyelid position by stimulating contractions in this muscle, lifting the eyelid and restoring your sight. As a result, patients often notice a reduction or elimination of the “sleepy” or “tired” look caused by ptosis. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
At Ganger Dermatology, we’ll diagnose the cause of your drooping eyelid and recommend a course of treatment to restore your range of vision and your sense of self. Don’t let drooping eyelids diminish your quality of life another day. Upneeq from Ganger can put this issue to bed.

For most, acquired ptosis (or blepharoptosis) is caused by sagging skin that will not vanish of its own accord. Some causes of ptosis may lessen with time, but it depends heavily on the contributing factor specific to you.
