Brow Lift in Istanbul – New City Clinic

Brow Lift in Istanbul: overview

A brow lift raises drooping brows to a higher, more balanced position and softens forehead and frown lines. In the endoscopic method, access is through a few small incisions hidden in the scalp, so scars are not noticeable. Botox softens lines temporarily; a brow lift repositions the tissue lastingly. At New City Clinic it is often planned together with upper eyelid surgery.

Who is it for?

A brow lift suits people whose eyebrows have dropped, making the upper eyelids look heavy or the face look tired or cross, and those with deep horizontal forehead lines. If the problem is mainly excess eyelid skin, upper eyelid surgery may be enough or may be combined.

Endoscopic and other techniques

In an endoscopic brow lift the brow is raised through small incisions hidden in the hair. Other techniques place the incision along the hairline or within the upper eyelid crease. The aim is a natural, open look, not a surprised expression.

Travelling from the UK or Ireland

Plan about 5 to 7 days in Istanbul. Swelling can move down towards the eyes in the first days; sleeping with the head raised helps. The four-hour flight home is usually comfortable; follow-up continues with photos and video calls.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Brow Lift cost in Turkey?

The cost depends on the scope of the procedure, the technique, the hospital and your accommodation choice. After a physician's assessment, New City Clinic sends you an itemised written quote; getting a quote is free.

What does an all-inclusive Brow Lift package include?

Your quote lists the hospital and physician fees, required tests, check-ups, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and, on request, hotel accommodation as separate items. Flights are not included; we can help organise them if you wish.

How long does Brow Lift take?

The procedure takes about 1–2 hours. Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia.

How long do I stay in hospital and in Turkey?

Hospital stay: 0–1 night. The total stay in Türkiye is usually planned at 6–8 days; your physician confirms the exact length at your check-up.

Is Brow Lift in Turkey safe? What are the risks?

Every medical procedure carries risk: infection, bleeding, anaesthesia-related problems and healing that differs from what was expected are the main ones. To reduce risk, the procedure is performed by a specialist at a licensed hospital after pre-operative tests. Your physician explains the risks specific to you at your examination.

When can I go back to work and exercise?

Desk work is usually possible within 10 days and sport after 4 weeks. These times vary from person to person.

Will there be scars?

Within the scalp. Scars are noticeable in the first months and fade with time; how they heal depends on your skin.

When will I see the result?

The first change is visible as swelling settles; the final result appears in about 3 months. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.

Can I see before and after photos?

Out of respect for patient privacy and under healthcare regulations, patient photos are shared only with the patient's consent. In your consultation the physician explains what is realistic in your case.

How do I choose the best clinic for Brow Lift in Istanbul?

There is no single “best clinic” for everyone; for a safe choice, check these: a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, the name of the hospital and the operating surgeon, a written plan based on a physician's assessment, an itemised quote and aftercare. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye; it publishes its authorisation, TÜRSAB and ISO certificates on this site and gives you all of this in writing with your quote.

Brow lift or eyelid surgery?

If the brow itself has dropped, an eyelid operation alone cannot lift it; the surgeon assesses which you need, and they are often combined.

Will the scars be visible?

With the endoscopic technique they are small and hidden in the hair.

Is Brow Lift in Turkey safe?

Like any operation, Brow Lift carries risks, and the risk depends far more on where and by whom it is done than on the country. The serious cases reported in the press have mostly involved unlicensed premises, non-specialists or too many procedures in one session. A safe choice means a hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, a named specialist surgeon, an anaesthetist, pre-operative tests and a long enough stay. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye, and you receive the hospital and surgeon details in writing before you travel.

Why is Brow Lift cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?

The difference comes mainly from lower operating and staff costs and the exchange rate; implants, materials and techniques follow the same international standards. Even so, do not choose on price alone: check the hospital licence, the surgeon’s specialty and exactly what the package includes.
