Your journey usually starts with an online consultation, followed by an in-person assessment and pre-operative tests after arrival in Istanbul. The procedure may be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the surgical plan and patient preference. For upper blepharoplasty, the incision is placed in the natural eyelid crease; for lower blepharoplasty, the incision is placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. The surgeon removes or repositions skin and fat, then closes the incision with fine sutures. International patients usually remain in Istanbul for 7-10 days for surgery, early follow-up, and suture removal.
Why Choose Istanbul?
Istanbul is a leading destination for eyelid surgery because it combines cost savings, high surgical volume, and modern hospital standards. Many top centers are JCI-accredited, which supports internationally recognized quality and safety processes. Clinics frequently provide English-speaking doctors, patient coordinators, airport transfers, and hotel arrangements, making the experience easier for overseas patients. For many people, the result is premium care at a significantly lower price than in the UK or Western Europe.
Success Rates & Outcomes
When performed by a qualified surgeon, blepharoplasty usually produces natural-looking, long-lasting improvement in eyelid contour and facial freshness. Many patients report a more rested appearance, reduced heaviness in the upper lids, and smoother under-eye areas after healing. While there is no single universal success rate, outcomes are generally excellent in experienced hands, and satisfaction is highest when the procedure is matched to the patient’s anatomy, goals, and recovery plan.
