Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The illustrative package price for Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul is €3,300. It includes surgery at an authorised healthcare facility, hospital accommodation, hotel accommodation and airport transfers, with pre-operative tests and patient coordination and interpretation where specified.

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

Hospital stay: discharged the same day. The total stay in Türkiye is usually planned at 5–7 days; your physician confirms the exact length at your check-up.

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.

Desk work is usually possible within 7 days and sport after 3 weeks. These times vary from person to person.

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

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.

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.

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.

The upper scar sits in the natural eyelid crease and is usually very hard to see once healed; lower eyelid incisions are inside the lid or just below the lashes.

It treats excess skin and bags. Pigmentation and fine lines are addressed with other treatments.

Usually after about two weeks, once the surgeon has checked the healing.

Like any operation, Eyelid Surgery 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.

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.
