How Much Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Cost in Turkey?
The cost of upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) in Turkey typically ranges from $2,100 to $3,000. Prices vary depending on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, and whether additional procedures like lower eyelid correction or laser resurfacing are included. In the United States, the average cost is $5,500 (per ASPS). This means upper eyelid surgery in Turkey is about 55% less than in the U.S.
Turkish clinics usually include the surgeon’s fee, local anesthesia, hospital charges, pre-op tests, medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia and facility costs billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your clinic before booking.

I have fulfilled my dream. Finally, I won't cry about my hair anymore.
Doctor, medical staff, interpreter, everything was good. Hygiene and service were good. I am very glad that I found your clinic. I have already recommended your clinic to my friends. Thank you very much
The rest of my experience was amazing outside of that one day though
I liked the ease of getting things in order for surgery. I had any question I had answered in a timely manor. The translator was very helpful and personable. I never had to worry about getting a question answered or a response from my assistant. The dr was amazing and very professional and great expertise. The only thing I was uncomfortable with is the pain. I’m considered by several drs to have a high pain tolerance and I was in a lot of pain. Let’s consider though I did have multiple surgeries but they are very stingy with any pain meds. The first day was torture. The rest of my experience was amazing outside of that one day though.
The ease of hospitality I was able to add onto my surgery or any fear I had I was informed on why I shouldn’t be fearful. The assistant and interpreter were perfect.
From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle
I was on 29 September 2025 at Lockman hekim clinic for breast and eyelid reduction.All my fears and doubts were in vain.
From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle.
Everything went smoothly and smoothly.
We arrived very early, we were taken to the clinic and our interpreter Olga was already in touch with us. We were placed in a beautifully decorated room, on the same day all the necessary medical parameters were taken. The doctor clearly explained what would happen and how it would be done.
We were in the clinic for 3 days and then to the hotel. It was also clean, beautifully designed, rich breakfast.
I recommend Lokman Hekim and Dr Marat Yaman if you want to change your appearance.
Food, staff, I can't single out anything, everything was good.
About Bookimed service
Very high quality service. Quick responses to all my enquiries and subsequently attentive attitude.
I am very grateful to all the staff for their attentiveness and prompt assistance. I travelled alone, but I didn't feel lonely, I had support from all sides ☺️ Transfer is super, I didn't even expect that it would be so VIP, the drivers are very well-mannered, attentive, careful driving! The hotel is great, I got even more than положено👍🏼 The interpreter Olga provided all kinds of help, support and was always there for me! 🫶 I had a difficult operation on my nose, but Murat Yaman is a professional and did everything to the maximum and even more, I do not regret that out of all the options I was offered I chose him 🥰 I hope my nose will be beautiful) Thank you so much 😊
Transfer, ward, doctor, interpreter, hotel, staff
Some of the staff when I was lying in the ward forgot to bring me ice, water, but that's the way it is, I understand that they have a high workload and can't keep everything in their heads, so in the end they brought it a little later ) This is a trifle and the only small minus, I would not take it into account compared to the way they ran over me.
About Bookimed service
I accidentally found an advert on the internet and decided to just ask about rhinoplasty)))) In the end I had it done 😄 Although I didn't really plan to decide so quickly. The manager did his best, well done ))
I came to Soraca Med Clinic for an upper eye lift and was very satisfied! I recommend this clinic!
I came to Soraca Med Clinic for an upper eye lift and was very satisfied! I recommend this clinic! Competent and experienced doctors and accompanying staff. Responsive and friendly coordinators. Very nice hotel near the sea, thank you very much. My husband and I were very satisfied.
I don't really write reviews, but I have to say I am very pleased with bookimed. They took care of any concerns I had. I would like to give a big thank you to Iryna for putting me at ease in finding the right hospital for my treatment, which was within my budget. She forwarded me 4-5 quotes from different hospitals and clinics. I wanted to have 2 procedures done and finding a place to have both done at the same time must have been hard for her to find but she came through. Thank you Iryna
I am very satisfied with the work of surgeon Murat Yaman, a competent, attentive and very pleasant person
I had upper eyelid blephoroplasty at Lokman Hekim Clinic. I am very satisfied with the work of surgeon Murat Yaman, a competent, attentive and very pleasant person. The doctors and nurses helping him to operate were one cohesive, organised team. Special thanks to the attendant and interpreter Olga Oztürk for her professionalism.
I liked the clinic, new, good equipment, clean.
Thank you very much to Tatiana, a doctor and a resident of Bookimed medical platform.
I applied to organise a blepharoplasty procedure in July. I was offered several doctors and clinics. There was also an online consultation. After a month in Antalya, I had a consultation with a doctor at the clinic and after the operation. All this time Valeria accompanied me and was in touch with me. I am satisfied with the results. If I need anything else, I will contact only here.
If I had a choice, I would contact the same surgeon and the same clinic
I had plastic surgery on the upper and lower eyelids. I can describe my experience as follows: an absolute feeling of safety and comfort throughout the provision of the service. Compassionate staff, talented surgeon, modern equipment and techniques. And subsequent support, which is also very important. If I had a choice, I would contact the same surgeon and the same clinic. On the upper eyelids the seams are very neat, on the lower eyelids I couldn’t find them at all. I am very grateful to my consultant doctor Stanislav from Bookimed for choosing the clinic and doctor, for his participation and support ❤️
About Bookimed service
I am very glad that I contacted them. They selected a clinic for me that suited my budget with an amazing surgeon and excellent service.
The staff at the hospital where I was operated on was terrible, they didn’t even give me water on the day after the operation, the next day the translator told me that water was paid, that’s why they didn’t give me water, it’s terrible, the consultation with the doctor lasted a total of 5 minutes and 5 minutes before the operation. After the operation, I was left alone in the hospital, there was no support from the hospital staff, after the anesthesia, the translator asked me 15 times if I wanted to go to the hotel, but I could barely lift my head from the pillow, in the morning I was somehow able to get up, I was very dizzy, I was in a terrible state for 3 days, no one asked about my well-being, 2 weeks had passed since the day of the operation, after leaving home, the doctor was no longer interested in how my nose was, whether I was okay. I don’t like the result so far, the doctor only removed the hump, but the nose remained just as big, I’ll see after some time, maybe it will shrink, which I doubt. I signed almost all the documents in Turkish and English, they gave me recommendations for care on the day of departure when they were no longer needed, when I asked why they answered me in English, so you’ll just learn it.

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.
What kind of anesthesia is used during blepharoplasty for the upper eyelids surgery, and what are its effects?
Upper eyelid surgery typically uses local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on patient preference and surgical complexity. Local anesthesia numbs the area while sedation helps you relax; general anesthesia renders you unconscious during the procedure. Discuss anesthesia options with your surgeon to understand their effects and recovery implications.
How can I verify the credentials and reputation of a Turkish clinic or hospital offering this procedure?
Verify credentials by checking accreditation from bodies like JCI or affiliations with international medical organizations. Reading patient reviews and testimonials can also provide insights into a clinic's reputation. Directly contacting past patients through forums may offer additional perspectives on their experiences.
What is the quality of Turkish healthcare facilities like for upper eyelid correction?
Turkey's healthcare facilities are known for their modern equipment and adherence to international standards. Many hospitals are accredited by organizations such as JCI, ensuring high-quality care. Researching facility accreditations can provide assurance of safety and quality.
Are there any hidden costs or additional fees involved in having surgery?
While many clinics offer comprehensive packages, it's important to clarify what is included to avoid hidden costs. Ask about additional fees for medications, follow-up appointments, or extended accommodation stays. A transparent discussion with the clinic will help manage expectations.
What should I know about the pre-surgery consultation process with a Turkish surgeon?
The pre-surgery consultation involves discussing your medical history, desired outcomes, and potential risks with your surgeon. It's crucial to ask questions about their experience, surgical techniques, and post-operative care plans. This consultation can often be conducted virtually for international patients.
How do I handle any post-operative complications if they arise after returning home?
If complications occur after returning home, contact your surgeon immediately for guidance. Many clinics offer remote consultations to address such issues. Additionally, seek local medical attention if necessary while maintaining communication with your Turkish surgeon.
What are the travel arrangements and accommodations like for patients undergoing surgery in Turkish clinics?
Travel packages often include accommodation at a 4-star hotel and VIP transfer services between the airport, hotel, and clinic. These arrangements are designed to provide comfort and convenience for international patients. Verify what is included in your package prior to booking.
Will there be any follow-up care or support available once I return home after the surgery?
Most clinics provide follow-up care through virtual consultations to monitor your recovery after returning home. It's essential to maintain communication with your surgeon for any concerns or complications that may arise post-surgery. Ensure you understand the follow-up process before leaving Turkey.
Are there any language barriers I might face when communicating with medical staff?
Many clinics in Turkey employ English-speaking staff or offer translation services to assist international patients. It's advisable to confirm language support availability during your initial inquiry with the clinic. This ensures clear communication throughout your treatment journey.
What should I expect in terms of recovery time and process after the surgery?
Recovery from upper eyelid surgery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within this period. Patients are advised to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and follow prescribed eye care routines to promote healing. Full recovery may take several months as residual swelling diminishes.
How do I ensure the Turkish surgeon is qualified and experienced for upper eyelid surgery?
Ensure your surgeon is certified by reputable organizations such as the ISAPS or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. Review their credentials, years of experience, and patient testimonials. Many surgeons in Turkey have international training, which can be an indicator of their expertise.
What are the potential risks and complications associated with Upper eyelid blepharoplasty?
Potential risks of upper eyelid surgery include infection, bleeding, dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, and asymmetry. These risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified surgeon and adhering to post-operative care instructions. It's important to discuss all possible complications with your surgeon during the consultation.
What is the level of medicine in Turkey?
Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.
As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country.
