Comparative Study of Ziplyft Treatment vs. Traditional Blepharoplasty for Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation
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.
• Provide signed written consent prior to participation in any study-related procedures.
• Ability, comprehension, and willingness to follow study instructions, and likely to complete all study visits.
• Male or female adults, ≥ 35 years old at the Preoperative Visit willing to return for required follow-up visits.
• Subjects with excess eyelid skin are eligible to undergo the procedure in the opinion of the investigator.
• Female subjects must be 1-year postmenopausal, surgically sterilized, or, if of childbearing potential, have a negative urine pregnancy test at the Preoperative Visit. Women of childbearing potential must use an acceptable form of contraception throughout the study.
