When Your Eyes Look Tired but You Don’t Feel It
Your eyes are the first thing people notice. See them look as bright, awake, and rested as you feel.
Why Upper Eyelids Start to Hang
With age, the skin of the upper eyelids loses elasticity and begins to hang. That extra skin can make you look tired, older, even a little upset, no matter how rested you feel. An upper eyelid lift removes that excess skin to open the eyes and restore a brighter, more awake look, and ZipLyft does it in a fraction of the time and downtime of traditional eyelid surgery.
If you have been searching for an eyelid lift, upper eyelid surgery, or a blepharoplasty alternative in Shreveport or Bossier City, ZipLyft is a modern, in-office option worth knowing about, right here in the Ark-La-Tex.
Common Signs You Might Notice
- ✓Your upper eyelids look heavy, hooded, or tired, no matter how much you rest
- ✓Excess skin is starting to rest on your lashes or fold over your eyelid crease
- ✓Eye makeup disappears into the fold and is harder to apply
- ✓People tell you that you look tired or upset when you feel fine
- ✓Your eyes in photos don’t match how young you feel
What Is ZipLyft?
ZipLyft™ is a minimally invasive upper eyelid lift, an in-office procedure that gently removes the excess skin resting on your upper eyelids. Instead of the sutures and cautery used in traditional eyelid surgery, it uses CoCO (Compression Contouring) technology to secure the treatment area, so there is nothing to remove later.
Developed by experienced oculoplastic surgeons and FDA-cleared, ZipLyft is performed with local anesthesia in about 15 minutes, right here in our Shreveport office. Most patients head home the same day with little downtime and a brighter, more refreshed look, a simpler alternative to traditional blepharoplasty.
Personalized Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation at Shreveport Eye Specialists. Dr. Russ Van Norman will assess your eyelids, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine whether ZipLyft is the right treatment for you.
In-Office Procedure
On the day of your appointment, your eyelids are numbed with local anesthesia for your comfort. The lift is performed through a small incision hidden in the natural eyelid crease, where CoCO technology completes it without traditional sutures, most procedures take about 15 minutes.
Recovery
Patients typically have only mild swelling or bruising and recover comfortably at home. Because no stitches are used, there is no suture-removal visit. Many patients are back to their normal routine within just a few days, with results that keep improving as you heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an upper eyelid lift cost?
Your exact price is confirmed at your consultation. Because ZipLyft is performed right in our office without an operating room or IV sedation, it avoids many of the facility and anesthesia fees that come with traditional eyelid surgery. We give you a clear, personalized quote before you decide anything.
How is ZipLyft different from traditional eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?
Both remove excess upper eyelid skin. Traditional blepharoplasty is usually done in an operating room with sutures and a longer recovery. ZipLyft is done in our office in about 15 minutes with local anesthesia and CoCO technology instead of stitches, so most patients are back to their routine within a few days.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients have little to no bruising and return to their normal routine within just a few days. Your surgeon gives you simple aftercare instructions at your visit.
Is ZipLyft right for me?
ZipLyft may be an excellent option if excess upper eyelid skin is making your eyes look tired, heavy, or older than you feel. In your consultation we confirm you are a good candidate.
What is the difference between ZipLyft and a droopy (ptosis) eyelid?
ZipLyft treats excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis). If your eyelid is drooping because of the muscle (ptosis), a different procedure may be recommended, and we will let you know honestly at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
Most patients report very little discomfort and are pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy the experience is. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable.
How long do the results last?
ZipLyft provides long-lasting improvement by removing excess upper eyelid skin. The natural aging process continues, but many patients enjoy a more youthful, refreshed appearance for years.
Will I have a scar?
The small incision is carefully placed within the natural crease of your upper eyelid, making it difficult to see once healed.
