Abstract:

An eyelid lifting system, for restoring a youthful appearance to an eye by lifting sagging eyelid skin at an eyelid crease, using an eyelid lifting device. The eyelid lifting device is a flat, thin piece of nonporous, conformable, waterproof plastic which is generally crescent shaped. The eyelid lifting device has a rear surface which has a medical grade adhesive thereon. Prior to application of the eyelid lifting device, a lubricating substance is spread across the rear surface. The eyelid lifting device is then applied to the eyelid crease to lift the sagging skin thereat. After a short time, the eyelid lifting device will set in place, will be virtually invisible, and will maintain the sagging skin in an upward position to provide a more youthful appearance to the eye.
