Cosmetic eyelid rejuvenation without confusing it with SMILE.
ZipLyft is cosmetic eyelid rejuvenation. It is a separate service from SMILE LASIK, which reshapes the cornea through a small incision.
Your visit starts with an in-person eyelid and ocular-surface evaluation so Dr. Shehz can explain whether ZipLyft fits your anatomy, goals, and eye health.
- Cosmetic eyelid focus, not laser vision correction
- Physician-led consult before any plan
- Eyelid anatomy + eye-surface health reviewed together
- Clear next steps after the consult
The reasons that actually matter.
Physician-led consult
Candidacy is confirmed in person by Dr. Shehz before any treatment recommendation is made, no online-only commitment.
Eye health first
Eyelid aesthetics are evaluated alongside ocular-surface comfort and overall eye health, not in isolation.
Anatomy-based planning
The treatment plan depends on your eyelid anatomy, goals, and whether another procedure is more appropriate.
Clear next steps
Consultation sets expectations for timing, recovery, and follow-up based on the plan Dr. Shehz recommends.
