ThinProfile® Eyelid Implants

(Implant Thickness 0.65 mm)

Product Details

ThinProfile® Eyelid Weight Implants feature a 35% reduced implant thickness combined with a proprietary three-dimensional design that conforms to the curvature of the ocular globe. ThinProfile implants are less visible than the popular Contour design when implanted because all implant edges are precisely tapered and corners are smoothly rounded.

A lower risk of extrusion has been reported when ThinProfile Platinum implants were compared with gold implants1. Patients with clinical characteristics of excessively thin upper eyelid skin with an associated increase in the risk of extrusion may benefit from ThinProfile’s reduced thickness.
