What the study is about

This study will compare two surgery techniques used for upper eyelid (eyelift) surgery: traditional surgery and a newer method called Ziplyft (a non-powered, hand-held clamp). This study will use a "split-face" design, meaning one eyelid will be treated with the traditional surgery method and the other with Ziplyft, allowing a direct side-by-side comparison.

The objectives of the study are to compare Ziplyft treatment vs. traditional surgery by evaluating bruising, wound closure and incision, surgery case time, and subject/surgeon surveys.

Being studied: Ziplyft Device; Comparator Arm: Standard Blepharoplasty

Conditions: Dermatochalasis of Upper Eyelid; Ptosis, Eyelid; Blepharoplasty
