ZipLyft™ — A Minimally Invasive In-Office Eyelid Lift
ZipLyft™ is an in-office procedure designed to remove excess, sagging skin from the upper eyelids and create a more open, refreshed appearance—without the need for an operating room or general anesthesia.
The procedure is performed comfortably under local anesthesia. After carefully identifying the appropriate amount of excess upper eyelid skin, the redundant skin is precisely removed and the incision is closed within the natural eyelid crease, allowing the resulting fine line to blend naturally with the eyelid.
ZipLyft™ is designed for patients who are bothered by loose or overhanging upper eyelid skin but would prefer a streamlined, office-based approach. By removing the excess skin, the procedure can help restore a smoother upper eyelid contour, reduce heaviness, and reveal more of the natural eyelid.
Because ZipLyft™ is performed in the office using local anesthesia, patients can return home shortly afterward. Temporary swelling and bruising are expected during the initial healing period, and the appearance continues to refine as healing progresses.
Potential benefits of ZipLyft™ include:
- Removal of excess or overhanging upper eyelid skin
- A brighter, more open and refreshed appearance
- Improved definition of the natural upper eyelid crease
- Local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia
- Convenient in-office treatment
Relatively limited downtime compared with more extensive eyelid surgery Every eyelid is different. A consultation and examination are important to determine whether ZipLyft™ is appropriate and whether excess skin alone—or a combination of skin, fat, brow position, or other factors—is contributing to the appearance of the upper eyelids.
