How Much Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Cost in Turkey?
Upper eyelid surgery in Turkey generally costs from $1,800 to $2,100 depending on surgeon expertise and clinic location. Patients typically save around 65% compared to the US, where the average price is $5,500. Most Turkish packages include the surgical fee, local or general anesthesia, preoperative blood tests, medications, and follow-up examinations in Istanbul or Antalya.
Double eyelid surgery: Typically costs 20-30% less than standard functional blepharoplasty for Asian eyelid shaping.
Ptosis repair: Often adds a premium of 15-25% due to the complex muscle adjustment required.
Combined procedures: Bundling upper and lower eyelids generally offers a 30% discount over separate surgeries.
Premium packages: Higher-tier options often include 4-star hotel stays and VIP transfers for international patients.

For example, Quartz Hospital offers premium packages starting around $3,000 with ISAPS-certified expertise. Meanwhile, Private Bagcilar Safak Hospital provides essential surgical care for approximately $2,000.

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
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 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.
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.
For me the main thing that was prescribed everything was fulfilled 💯!
Good afternoon! My trip was fully in line with the pre-plan and the package I was offered. For me the main thing that was prescribed everything was fulfilled 💯! All the people around me gave me confidence and peace of mind. I can't tell you the result of the operation yet, I need time. Yes, the organisational issues here are on the level!
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.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed is a pleasure to work with, Alexey is very prompt, in touch all the time, answered all questions very quickly, tried to help
Hello. The operation was performed at the Estetik International clinic. The clinic looks expensive. Everything in it is beautiful, expensive, rich, an excellent ward, and so on. But. A lot but. I'll start. Bukemed organized everything quickly. They are great. Only I clarified a couple of times when to take tickets back home. They said on the 14th. And the operation was on the 10th. Analyzes on the 8th. 9 clinic day off. Arriving at the clinic, the translator Ozan, the translator, tells me that she should fly 17-18 back. Since the days are counted from the moment of the operation. That is, I was not correctly informed in bookimed. OK. I left earlier. The doctor said everything is healing. The clinic itself and its attitude towards me. I had a lift and an increase. The operation was carried out on the 10th at about 15.00. On the 11th at 14.00 I was told that I had an hour to get ready and the transfer would take me to the hotel. I begged to leave me for a day or at least until the morning in the clinic. Since it was terribly hard for me, everything hurt a lot. I couldn't get up, get dressed, etc. I felt dizzy and my blood pressure dropped. But I was told 250€ a day at the clinic or go to the hotel. I went to the hotel. I had drainage. It needs to be cleaned. I was told to do it myself. Once a translator came for me. Since I refused to do it myself because I could just faint from all this. The next day, a friend helped me to do this, and then they removed the drainage and sent me home the next day. And here the most interesting begins. Manager Katerina or coordinator. I don't know her position correctly. I'll attach a screen recording showing the dialog. Transfer to the airport is included in the price of all this. I started talking about the transfer in the evening before the day of departure. Then in the morning. Then I was told to expect a transfer. Then they said that it was broken or something else and that I would call a taxi myself. I couldn't do it because I couldn't pay. The card already had a limit on funds. There is such a law in Ukraine. 100.000 UAH per month I can spend abroad. For a very long time I was hung up with a taxi. The plane is in a couple of hours. A child is waiting at home. I'm on my nerves. Due to the lack of specifics and information, at the end of all this, I just lost my temper and could not find other words except mats and tears. In the end, they called me a taxi. I'm going. With full confidence that he was paid. The taxi driver shows the amount. And I understand that it is not paid. I had to ask for a card from their parents. Attach it to your phone and pay. Next, I go to the airport. I understand that I won't be able to. The clinic helped only in the fact that they checked me in for the flight. When they realized that I could really be late, and then they would have to resolve the issue with tickets and the hotel at their own expense, since it was all their fault. There are 100+ people in line at passport control. I understand I can't. Spit in an hour exactly. The gate has already been opened. And I decide to try. I just asked each person if I could go in front of him, and so I went in line and got on the plane. Now the clinic does not respond to me. Bookimed said that the money would be returned for a taxi, but this issue could be resolved for months. But I'm really looking forward to it. Katerina said the issue is under consideration by the authorities. For the past three days does not answer at what stage the question. Regarding the doctor. All OK. I had a difficult breast situation. He corrected her. But so far it's only been a week. I think it's definitely better than it was. But he didn't hear me. I asked for bigger breasts. I installed a 400 ml implant, but I don’t like it because there is no volume anyway.
Special thanks to Yeva, who helped with everything!!
The whole organization process through Bookimed with the clinic was a very good experience. I am very satisfied, and I can say for sure that in the future, if I need any medical procedure, I will only use Bookimed. Special thanks to Yeva, who helped with everything!!
The whole communication went very smoothly. Yeva helped with everything, and whenever I had any questions, she responded very quickly. I can only recommend her.
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.
Dr lux , quality , no bruising after rhinoplasty , good doctor .
I was hungry, the hotel can be found better for such money. The nurse after the operation pricked 3 times hands not qualitatively. Who has fear to needles, blood, and I have this fear, on my request to call a specialist, I was refused.
And so everything is good, fast healing . I recommend the doctor .
7 day after surgery
My Experience at Dr. Med’ Clinic
The team was absolutely wonderful. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful to Dr. Yunus, all the clinic staff, and especially Dr. Yunus and Akylay. Everything was organized professionally, with care and efficiency.
I underwent a deep plane facelift and neck lift, as well as upper and lower blepharoplasty. Overall, I am very satisfied with both the results and the service.
My only suggestion would be this: for such major plastic surgeries, the patient should ideally stay at the clinic for at least 3 days under medical supervision. This is essential for proper recovery and peace of mind.
Also, I would prefer that Dr. Yunus personally performs the bondage changes, as he does them best — and it noticeably speeds up the healing process.
Aside from that, everything was top-notch: the team is responsive, caring, and highly professional. Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
I really appreciated the staff’s efficiency — their ability to respond quickly to my needs, react promptly to my messages, and show genuine care, empathy, and commitment to my smooth recovery and overall experience.
What I didn’t like was that the consultation took place on the same day we arrived. It was exhausting, as we were sleep-deprived, tired, and unable to fully process the information the doctor was giving us. It was an unpleasant experience.
We had booked our flight based on a recommendation from the Doctor-Med clinic’s sales department.
Another thing that disappointed us was being hospitalized for only one day — we had to extend the stay ourselves for the second day.
I strongly believe that after such serious surgeries, the patient should be hospitalized for at least two days for proper medical supervision and recovery.
The hospital and the staff couldn't have been better
I am very happy with this clinic. At first there were doubts, I chose for a long time. I read all the reviews.... But as a result I chose this clinic. And I was not mistaken. Everything was very well organised. The doctor showed the future result on the computer. We chose the option that I wanted. The next day we had the operation. The hospital and the staff couldn't have been better. I was taken care of the whole time. Then I was taken to a hotel. A week later the cast was removed. I had 24 hours online communication with the doctor. I didn't feel like I was alone. The doctor is very talented. You can't see the stitches at all. It's important to trust this doctor. And the counsellors
The doctor is very talented. The organisation of my trip was top notch. Very happy with the results.

Effectiveness: 95% success rate in achieving desired aesthetic results.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 7-10 days
Best for: Excess skin on upper eyelids, droopy eyelids affecting vision, age-related changes in the periorbital area.
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. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
