iLIDLIFT™

100% Blade-Free Cosmetic Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) for those who suffer from droopy, wrinkled eyelids

Nothing ages the face more than the eyes. As we get older, it is common to develop lower eye bags and hooding of the upper eyelids, which can make us look tired and older, adding years to the whole face. An eye bag removal can effectively address this problem, removing loose skin, surplus fatty tissue and relaxed muscles in the eyelids, to produce a more youthful, lively appearance. This is the ultimate all-laser procedure that is designed to rejuvenate your eyelids and the skin around your eyes. It is 100% Blade-Free Cosmetic Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) for those who suffer from droopy, wrinkled eyelids. Included in this treatment is a skin tightening and wrinkle removal/reduction of the lower eyelids and crow’s feet known as laser resurfacing.

The procedure is done as a day case, doing either the upper or lower eyelids separately or together. There will be a fine pink scar along the upper eyelid which will quickly fade over time. Mild bruising and swelling can be seen at times during the recovery period. Stitches are removed 7 days later and most people return to work a week after their surgery date.

iLIDLIFT™ is a 100% blade-free laser eyelid operation that combines the following surgical procedures:

  • Blade-free, CO2 laser Blepharoplasty (upper and lower lids)
  • Peri-ocular skin resurfacing and skin tightening with Blade-free Erbium laser
  • Botox Cosmetic Browlift

iLIDLIFT™ is frequently combined with:

  • Full face ProFractional laser treatment to remove facial wrinkles and spots
  • Brow lift using the “Threadlift” technique
  • Facial fillers to enhance cheeks, lips and other areas

Upper iLIDLIFT™ Advantages over Traditional Blepharoplasty:

  • More precise with less trauma to tissues
  • Little or no bleeding
  • Eyelid anatomy is easily identified
  • Less surgical time
  • Rapid patient recovery
  • Most important – very little or no bruising after the surgery, thus less swelling
  • Results are far more pleasing because of wrinkle treatment and skin tightening

Lower iLIDLIFT™ (Transconjunctival) Advantages over Traditional Blepharoplasty

  • Very precise, fairly quick, easy procedure compared to conventional surgery where much of the time is spent finding the bleeders and cauterizing them
  • No visible skin incision is made
  • Less irritation and trauma to the eyelid is required because of less traction on the eyelid
  • Fewer complications
  • Less likely to change the shape of the lower eyelid
  • Very low incidence of post operative bleeding and bruising

The best candidates for eyelid surgery include:

  • Men and women who are physically healthy
  • Psychologically stable
  • Realistic in their expectations
  • Most are 35 or older, but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery at a younger age.
