Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery in Turkey
Designed for patients with drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, puffiness, or excess skin around the eyes, upper and lower eyelid surgery rejuvenates the entire eye area by removing excess skin, repositioning or removing fat, and tightening the surrounding tissues to create a brighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance than non-surgical treatments alone.
Upper and lower eyelid surgery in Turkey starts from £2,200. Most patients fly home after 5–7 days, with swelling and bruising gradually improving over the following weeks. Final results become visible over the coming months, revealing a brighter, more youthful eye appearance with long-lasting results.

THE PROCEDURE
What is upper and lower eyelid surgery?
Upper and lower eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, rejuvenates the entire eye area by removing excess skin and repositioning or removing excess fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure creates a brighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance with natural-looking results.
Unlike non-surgical treatments, blepharoplasty provides a long-lasting solution for drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and excess skin.

RECOVERY
Upper and lower eyelid surgery recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Rest with your head elevated to help minimise swelling. Mild discomfort, swelling, bruising around the eyes, and temporary tightness are expected. Cold compresses may be recommended to reduce swelling.
Days 4–7: Swelling and bruising begin to improve, although the eyelids may still appear puffy. Most patients are comfortable resuming light daily activities and can usually fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–6: The majority of swelling gradually subsides, revealing a brighter and more refreshed eye appearance. Most patients return to work and normal daily activities within 1–2 weeks, while strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.
Months 3–6: The eyelids continue to settle as any remaining swelling resolves and incision lines gradually fade. Final results become fully visible, providing a long-lasting, youthful rejuvenation of the entire eye area.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
Upper and lower eyelid surgery is a well-established procedure, but like any operation, it carries potential risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include swelling, bruising, temporary dry eyes, blurred vision, asymmetry, delayed wound healing, and—more rarely—bleeding, infection, changes in eyelid position, or the need for revision surgery.
We minimise these risks through a comprehensive pre-operative assessment, meticulous surgical techniques, and structured aftercare with 24/7 access to our medical team throughout your stay. Your surgeon will explain your individual risk profile in detail and provide personalised guidance to support a smooth and safe recovery.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is upper and lower eyelid surgery?
Upper and lower eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and repositions or removes fat from both the upper and lower eyelids to create a brighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
Who is a good candidate for combined eyelid surgery?
You may be a suitable candidate if you have drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, excess skin, or a tired-looking appearance. Your surgeon will assess your suitability during your consultation.
What are the benefits of combining upper and lower eyelid surgery?
Treating both the upper and lower eyelids during the same operation provides more balanced facial rejuvenation, requires only one recovery period, and creates a more harmonious overall result.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are carefully hidden within the natural upper eyelid crease and either just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid, making scars very discreet once healed.
Is upper and lower eyelid surgery painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, bruising, and tightness rather than significant pain. These symptoms are temporary and are usually well controlled with prescribed medication.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients stay in Turkey for 5–7 days, allowing time for surgery, follow-up appointments, and surgeon approval before travelling home.
When can I return to work?
Most patients return to desk-based work and normal daily activities within 1–2 weeks, depending on how quickly swelling and bruising resolve.
How long do the results last?
The results are long-lasting. Although the natural ageing process continues, blepharoplasty provides a refreshed appearance that many patients enjoy for years.
Can eyelid surgery be combined with other facial procedures?
Yes. Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with facelift, brow lift, neck lift, or facial fat transfer for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Will I still look natural after surgery?
Yes. The aim of upper and lower eyelid surgery is to restore a rested, youthful appearance while preserving your natural facial features and expressions.
