Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
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.

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 ❤️

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.

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.

The work he did on me was outstanding
Surgery in Turkey, I am 60 years old, and I travelled to Istanbul for a Deep Plane Facelift and a lower and upper Blepharoplasty. Bookimed, I am so grateful to you, I could not have made this journey without your assistance. Thank you very much for your guidance and patience. I hope I did not give you a hard time. Turkey is a safe place to travel, it is safer than Paris, Milan or Manhattan. I never felt in danger in Istanbul. From the moment I arrived at Lokman Hekim Hospital, everything was taken care of by Ismael Ali, who is an easy going and friendly translator. The pre-operative test were done as soon as I arrived. The day after I met Doctor Murat Yaman who is a friendly and open person. Before travelling to Istanbul I checked his background and found him to be a very good and competent surgeon. So, on that day I was relaxed for the surgery because I knew I was going to be in good hands. The work he did on me was outstanding. I am still in the healing process. My eyes are a bit irritated, but that is normal. My face is still a bit swollen but it no longer hangs. My face has changed expression from appearing to be sad or angry to reflecting a normal emotion. A big thanks to the Lokman Hekim Hospital staff some of them spoke a little bit of English others were fluent but all of them were caring, kind, super friendly and always ready to help.
The whole experience.

FAQ about Blepharoplasty (Eyelid correction) in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

How Much Does Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Сorrection) Cost in Istanbul?

The cost for blepharoplasty  in Istanbul starts at $900. However the most common prices are about $2,400.

The price for a procedure is typically determined by such factors:

  • Clinic’s reputation. The medical facilities with international recognition, proper certificates usually provide a 10-15% higher price list than the average one across the city. Also, the clinics serving local and inbound celebs can also increase costs.
  • Doctor’s experience. Plastic surgeon’s skill level is a primary factor affecting an ultimate blepharoplasty price. More experienced specialists typically ask for a higher fee than their less practiced colleagues. In this case, be ready to pay 10-20% above an average hair transplant price.
  • Service coverage level. Some eyelid surgery clinics offer VIP transfer with a private driver, arrange tourist tours, and provide rooms in a 5-star hotel. The offers with such conditions usually cost more than those ones with general airport pickup and accommodation in a 4-star hotel. 

Submit a request on the Bookimed website, and we will provide you with the best blepharoplasty deals available in Istanbul. 

 

Why to Choose Istanbul for Eyelid Surgery?

Istanbul is the cultural capital of Turkey. Over 5,000,000 people is a total tourist flow per year, and 500,000 of them head to Istanbul for medical tourism purposes. So why do thousands of people pick Istanbul to do aesthetic operations, including blepharoplasty?

Bookimed cooperates with 39 blepharoplasty clinics in Istanbul. Let’s check what they offer:

  • Good prices. The cost for blepharoplasty in Istanbul is 2-5 times lower than in American or British cities. For instance, clinics in Istanbul perform eyelid surgery for $860-$2,400, while UK or US ones for $3,000 and over.
  • Packages. A primary benefit of pickining plastic surgery clinics in Istanbul is that they offer packages with all services coverage. It means that for the price you see listed on the page, you also receive airport pickup, accommodation, and interpreting services.
  • Board-certified doctors. Despite low prices for a blepharoplasty in Istanbul, the local doctor’s skills level is high. Specialists permanently develop their skills, get new knowledge and techniques overseas; they are members of authoritative blepharoplasty societies and associations.

Is Turkey a good place for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid correction) procedure?

According to Bookimed, Turkey is a good place for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid correction) because of the high quality of services and affordable prices. The country is popular among medical tourists from CIS, Europe, Balkans, and African countries.

  • Hisar Hospital Intercontinental, Istanbul Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, Hermes Clinics, Quartz Clinique, and Dr. Med Clinic are some of the top clinics that provide Blepharoplasty in Turkey.
  • Hisar Hospital Intercontinental is a JCI-certified hospital that receives around 250,000 patients every year from CIS, Balkans, and African countries.

Can I get a consultation online for blepharoplasty?

Yes, many clinics in Turkey offer online consultations for blepharoplasty. You can send in your photos, and the clinic will review them to create a tailored treatment plan. An online consultation is a convenient way to discuss your case before committing to travel.

Can I undergo upper and lower blepharoplasty in one procedure?

Yes, upper and lower blepharoplasty can be done together. However, some clinics may choose to separate the procedures into two separate visits, especially if they are performed under local anesthesia to minimize risks.

How long does the blepharoplasty procedure take?

The procedure generally lasts between 45 to 90 minutes, depending on whether it's upper, lower, or both eyelids. Local anesthesia is used to ensure the procedure is painless.

What should I do before the blepharoplasty surgery?

It is recommended that you quit smoking at least 14 days before surgery and refrain from drinking alcohol for 7 days to ensure optimal healing. Also, you'll need to provide photos of your eyelids for the surgeon to assess and plan the procedure properly.

Do I need to stay in Turkey for a long time after the surgery?

After blepharoplasty, you will generally need to stay in Turkey for about 5 to 7 days for recovery and follow-up consultations. This allows the surgeon to monitor your healing process and remove any stitches if necessary.

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.

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
