We’re proud to spotlight three incredible women who are trailblazers, leaders, and caregivers—not only in their personal lives but in the lives of their patients. Meet Dr. Dagny Zhu, Dr. Mamina Turegano, and Lovely Laban GNP-C, MSN. These women are more than healthcare providers. They’re moms, entrepreneurs, surgeons, and trusted advisors—and they choose to include Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) in both their own routines and their patient care practices. Here’s how they do it and why it matters.


Dr. Dagny Zhu


Dr. Dagny Zhu begins her days early—getting her son ready for school before heading off to perform back-to-back refractive surgeries. As part of her morning routine, she uses Upneeq, an FDA-approved prescription eye drop that lifts low-lying eyelids in just minutes. “It’s my secret weapon,” she says. “It helps me look more awake and ready to go for the day.” It’s not just part of her personal routine—it’s something she recognizes the value of for others, too. Her confidence in Upneeq extends beyond herself, making it an accessible, non-invasive option for treating low-lying lids that she trusts and understands firsthand.


Dr. Mamima Turegano


As a busy dermatologist and mom, Dr. Mamina’s mornings are fast-paced and intentional. After skincare and journaling, her day begins with Upneeq. “It’s the first thing I use in the morning because I know my eyes will look more awake and more symmetrical,” she shares. In her practice, patients often ask, “Is there a way to lift my tired-looking eyelids without surgery?”. She educates her patients about how Upneeq works, who it’s for, and what to expect. “I always make sure it’s the right fit,” she explains. “But when it is—it’s such a quick, empowering solution.”


Lovely Laban GNP-C, MSN


Lovely Laban, a licensed nurse practitioner and aesthetic medicine expert, brings both science and energy to her practice and her mornings. By 5:30 a.m., she’s already into her wellness routine, finishing with makeup and Upneeq. “My eyes instantly feel more open and refreshed,” she says. When someone walks into her practice asking about their low-lying lids, she doesn’t just talk about the product—she shows how it works in real time.


These women don’t just talk about Upneeq—they use it in their own lives. And because they’ve seen how it can help, they bring that same care and insight to the patients they support every day. Discover if Upneeq is right for you by speaking to your healthcare professional.
