What Is ZipLyft™?
ZipLyft™ uses patented CoCo (Compression Contouring) technology — a zipper-lock compression mechanism that closes the incision without sutures or cautery, eliminating the primary causes of traditional blepharoplasty bruising, bleeding, and downtime.
Developed by fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons with over 30,000 combined eyelid procedures, ZipLyft™ is the first device of its kind — FDA-cleared and now available right here in Waco at Brazos Eye Surgery of Texas.
CoCo™ Technology
Zipper-lock compression closes the wound — no sutures, no cautery, virtually no bleeding.
15-Minute Procedure
In-office efficiency. No hospital check-in, no OR time, no IV sedation.
Natural, Symmetric Results
Youthful and refreshed — not overdone. Friends notice a difference; they can't explain why.
Proven Expertise
Performed by our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon with deep eyelid anatomy knowledge.

The Data Case for ZipLyft™
Traditional blepharoplasty is effective — but the recovery experience has always been its weakness. Clinical evidence and surgeon outcomes data make a compelling case for the ZipLyft™ approach.
vs. 60–90 min for traditional blepharoplasty — same aesthetic outcome, fraction of the chair time
Surgeons and patients consistently report significantly reduced bruising vs. traditional technique
Traditional recovery: 2–4 weeks of visible bruising and swelling before social confidence returns
Eliminates anesthesia risk, anesthesia cost, and the pre-op fasting protocol entirely

ZipLyft™ vs. Traditional Blepharoplasty
Same goal. Dramatically different patient experience.
| Feature | ZipLyft™ | Traditional Bleph. |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | In-office under local anesthesia | OR or surgical center required |
| Procedure time | Under 15 minutes | 60–90 minutes |
| Sutures | None — tissue adhesive closure | Sutures placed & removed visit |
| Bleeding | Minimal to none (CoCo technology) | Cautery required to control bleeding |
| IV sedation | Not required | Usually required |
| Bruising | Minimal bruising reported | Significant bruising typical (1–2 wks) |
| Event-ready | Days (est. 3 weeks full) | 2–4 weeks minimum |
| Return-to-work | Days | 5–10 days typical |
| Suture removal | Not required | Follow-up appointment required |
| Natural result | Symmetric, refreshed, natural | Results depend on technique & healing |

Your ZipLyft™ Experience
Consultation
We evaluate eyelid anatomy, skin laxity, and your aesthetic goals. Candidacy confirmed in a single visit.
Day of Procedure
Local anesthesia applied. Incision placed along natural lid crease. CoCo device deployed. Tissue adhesive closure. Done in under 15 minutes.
Day 1–3
Minimal bruising and swelling. Most patients feel comfortable at home. No suture removal visit required.
Days to Weeks
Gradual return to normal activities. Event-ready confidence typically within days to 3 weeks. Final result continues improving.
Common Questions
Am I a candidate for ZipLyft™?
Most adults with excess upper eyelid skin causing a tired, heavy, or aged appearance are potential candidates. During your consultation, we evaluate eyelid anatomy, skin laxity, and your aesthetic goals to confirm candidacy. The device fits approximately 90% of patient anatomies.
Is ZipLyft™ painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Patients consistently report minimal discomfort. Most describe the experience as easier than expected.
How long do ZipLyft™ results last?
Results are long-lasting. While aging continues naturally after any eyelid procedure, most patients enjoy their refreshed appearance for many years. Traditional upper blepharoplasty typically lasts 5–7+ years; ZipLyft™ delivers equivalent anatomical correction using a less invasive technique.
Can ZipLyft™ address eyelid drooping (ptosis)?
ZipLyft™ is designed for excess upper eyelid skin (dermatochalasis). Ptosis — where the lid margin itself droops — requires a Mueller's muscle procedure, which we also offer. During consultation, we will differentiate which condition (or combination) you have.
What about fat removal?
Fat removal can be performed through a small stab incision prior to ZipLyft™ placement when clinically indicated.
Will there be a visible scar?
The incision follows the natural lid crease, minimizing visibility. Scar appearance continues to improve over time. Most patients find the result indistinguishable from a natural eyelid fold.
NIH-Published Minimally Invasive Eyelid Lift Data
A 2025 PMC/NIH-published study on minimally invasive eyelid lift techniques reported an average surgery time of 33.9 minutes with notably quicker recovery than traditional blepharoplasty — with 48.6% of cases completed in under 30 minutes. ZipLyft™ targets under 15 minutes.
