Eye Bag Removal in Turkey
Designed for patients with under-eye bags, puffiness, or loose skin beneath the eyes, lower eyelid surgery removes or repositions excess fat and tightens the surrounding tissues to create a smoother, more refreshed, and youthful appearance than non-surgical treatments alone.
Lower eyelid surgery in Turkey starts from £1,650. 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, providing a long-lasting, more refreshed and youthful under-eye appearance.

THE PROCEDURE
What is eye bag removal?
Lower eyelid surgery, also known as lower blepharoplasty or eye bag removal, rejuvenates the under-eye area by removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening loose skin. The procedure creates a smoother, brighter, and more youthful appearance while maintaining your natural facial expressions.
Unlike non-surgical treatments, lower eyelid surgery permanently addresses under-eye bags and excess skin that cannot be corrected with fillers or skin tightening alone. It is particularly effective for patients with persistent puffiness, loose under-eye skin, or a tired appearance caused by ageing or genetics.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every lower eyelid surgery procedure is tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results with minimal visible scarring, combining exceptional surgical expertise with comprehensive aftercare and outstanding value.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for eye bag removal?
Lower eyelid surgery may be right for you if you:
Have persistent under-eye bags or puffiness that do not improve with skincare or lifestyle changes
Have loose or wrinkled skin beneath the eyes that creates a tired appearance
Would like a smoother, more refreshed, and youthful under-eye contour
Are in good general health, a non-smoker (or able to stop before surgery), and have realistic expectations about the results
Candidacy is always confirmed following a medical assessment of your health, eyelid anatomy, photographs, and goals. If lower eyelid surgery is not the most suitable option, we’ll recommend the treatment that best meets your individual needs.

RECOVERY
Eye bag removal 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 during this period. Cold compresses may be recommended to help reduce swelling.
Days 4–7: Swelling and bruising begin to improve, although the under-eye area may still appear puffy. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities and are typically able to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–6: The majority of swelling gradually subsides, revealing a smoother and more refreshed under-eye contour. 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 lower eyelids continue to settle as any remaining swelling resolves and incision lines gradually fade. Final results become fully visible, providing a long-lasting improvement in the appearance of under-eye bags and excess skin.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
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.

EXCELLENT Based on 80 reviews Posted on Google Vanya BriggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose Revitalise in November 2025 for a deep plane facelift, neck lift, temple brow lift, and facial fat grafting. I was quite apprehensive beforehand, but the moment I met the surgeon and the team, all my worries disappeared. They were absolutely incredible , professional, reassuring, and genuinely caring. We stayed at the Mandarin resort, which was lovely overall, and although there are a few small areas that could be improved, the experience surrounding the surgery itself was exceptional. Professor Ahmets hands gave me complete confidence, and the nurses were attentive, kind, and consistently supportive. Our chaperones were brilliant throughout the stay. We had a few different ones, but Abbie supported my husband and me for most of our time there, and she was truly outstanding. Teona was also wonderful at the resort and Lali The rest of the staff appear to be kind too. We really enjoyed our time in Izmir exploring the bazaar, trying different restaurants, seeing the local sights, and having moments of proper relaxation too. The only area I feel could benefit from improvement is the food at the resort. Because it’s quite a distance from other places to eat, having more substantial meal options would make a big difference, especially for Brits recovering from surgery who often need protein-rich, hearty meals. The soups and porridge were delicious, but sometimes you just need a proper meal with meat and carbs to support recovery. Aside from that, everything else was faultless. My husband also had dental work done, and the dentist was extremely attentive. I’ve already booked to return this year for a breast revision and hairline procedure with Revitalise. Thank you so much for everything especially Teona and Abbi ❤️Posted on Google alison richardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole process from start to finish was very slick, friendly and professional. I was met at the airport by a lovely driver and there was another young lady with me as well. We were dropped to the villa and given some soup which was nice. Next day I had my surgery. Deep plane facelift, neck lift, temporal brow lift and upper eyes. Everything went well and I spent the next 6 nights at the villa recovering. It’s a lovely place to stay and you can even just pick oranges off the trees! They are super delicious. I walked down to the sea one day as well. There are a couple of mini markets you can buy things from. I 100% recommend this clinic to anyone looking to have surgery. It takes all the stress out of it and they even found the flights for me! One lady who was there with me had been there 6 times and when she told me her age I very nearly fell off my chair lol! Will definitely be back possibly for teeth. Thank you all so much and see you again :-)Posted on Google Karen longTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am almost 4 weeks post op, I had a Mummy Makeover. I am delighted with my results. The care received from all was amazing. I will be going back later this year. Thank you all.Posted on Google Arzu AltanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my husband went for dental implants in Izmir and after a couple of months evaluating options we choose Revitalize. It was the best decision! We have just completed the second phase of our treatment last Monday and we couldn´t be happier. It is true, it is not painless as the say, but all in all worthed the disconforth we had, during same (few) steps. For sure, if an acquaintance of ours wish to perform outstanding oral surgery at a very good price, we will sure recomend Revitalize.Posted on Google Gill BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just been to Revitalize for my second time. For someone going alone for surgery which is obviously a scary experience I highly recommended this company. They took fantastic care of me the whole way through and everything is super professional. The staff are all very kind and the accommodation is lovely. Since I've come home they have answered my queries right away too. I met some really great other people at the villa and enjoyed getting to know them and our meal times together. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Revitalize if you are considering it 😊Posted on Google Paula Deveney-SwanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an extended Tummy Tuck in February 2024. The service was outstanding. On arriving the driver was waiting for me to take me to the villa. The villa is just amazing, helpful friendly and experienced staff on call 24/7 The surgeon was friendly and informative The hospital was spotless, I stayed for 1 night before going back to the villa to recover for a further 8 nights The room at the villa had everything I needed and pull cords should help have been needed, thankfully it wasn’t. The grounds and pool were perfect, unfortunately I could only look at the pool due to surgery. February 2025 and I’m back, this time for breast reduction and uplift. Again can’t find fault in anything. Staff always on hand to help, hospital and villa spotless. What next ……Posted on Google Sonia BramleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unparalleled service and care provided. Their unique set up of providing pre- and post-operative support is incredible. You have 24/7 on site support as well as residing with patients undergoing similar procedures. Their English speaking surgeons really listen and treat you as individuals rather than a conveyor belt of procedures. The camaraderie that you build at the villa is unmatchable. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is eye bag removal surgery?
Eye bag removal, also known as lower eyelid surgery or lower blepharoplasty, is a procedure that removes or repositions excess fat and tightens loose skin beneath the eyes to create a smoother, more refreshed, and youthful appearance.
Who is a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery?
You may be a suitable candidate if you have persistent under-eye bags, puffiness, loose skin, or a tired appearance that does not improve with skincare or non-surgical treatments. Your surgeon will confirm your suitability during your consultation.
Will lower eyelid surgery remove dark circles?
Lower eyelid surgery can improve dark circles if they are caused by puffiness or shadowing from under-eye bags. However, dark circles caused by skin pigmentation or very thin skin may require additional treatments.
Will I have visible scars?
Scars are usually very discreet. Incisions are commonly hidden just below the lower lash line or placed inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), leaving no visible external scar in suitable patients.
Is lower eyelid surgery painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, tightness, swelling, and bruising rather than significant pain. These symptoms are temporary and are typically well managed 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 flying home.
When can I return to work?
Many patients return to desk-based work and light social activities within 1–2 weeks, once the majority of swelling and bruising has settled.
Are the results permanent?
The results are long-lasting. While the natural ageing process continues, the fat removed or repositioned during surgery does not return, allowing patients to enjoy a refreshed appearance for many years.
Can lower eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Lower blepharoplasty is commonly combined with upper eyelid surgery, facelift, brow lift, or facial fat transfer for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Will I still look like myself?
Yes. The goal of lower eyelid surgery is to refresh the under-eye area while preserving your natural facial features. Most patients look well-rested and more youthful rather than noticeably "operated on."
