    What It Is

    What Is Blepharoplasty?

    Blepharoplasty — commonly known as eyelid surgery — is a precision surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both by removing excess skin, repositioning or removing fat deposits, and tightening the surrounding muscles. The eyes are the first feature people notice, and signs of aging around the eyes can make you look years older and perpetually tired.

    Whether you're bothered by heavy, hooded upper lids, puffy under-eye bags, or fine wrinkles that make you look exhausted even after a full night's sleep, blepharoplasty delivers dramatic yet natural-looking rejuvenation. Our surgeons combine millimeter-level precision with artistic sensitivity to restore bright, youthful eyes while preserving your natural expression.

    Common Concerns

    Signs You May Benefit from Eyelid Surgery

    Heavy, drooping upper eyelids
    Excess skin obscuring the eyelid crease
    Puffy bags under the eyes
    Dark circles that won't resolve
    A perpetually tired or aged appearance
    Impaired peripheral vision from hooding
    Fine wrinkles and crepey skin around eyes
    Asymmetry between the left and right eyes

    Surgical Techniques

    Precision for Every Eye

    Upper Blepharoplasty

    Upper Blepharoplasty

    Removes excess skin, muscle, and occasionally fat from the upper eyelids that cause hooding, heaviness, or obstruction of the natural eyelid crease. The incision is hidden within the natural fold of the eyelid, becoming virtually invisible once healed. Restores a refreshed, open-eyed appearance.

    Lower Blepharoplasty

    Lower Blepharoplasty

    Addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and loose skin beneath the lower lashes. Fat pads are repositioned or removed, and excess skin is tightened through an incision just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach). Eliminates the tired, aged look.

    Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

    Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

    A scarless approach for lower eyelid rejuvenation where the incision is made inside the lower eyelid. Ideal for younger patients with under-eye bags caused by herniated fat pads but minimal excess skin. No visible external scarring whatsoever.

    Upper + Lower Combined

    Upper + Lower Combined

    The most comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation combining both upper and lower blepharoplasty in a single session. Addresses hooding above and bags below simultaneously for a complete periorbital transformation. Maximum impact with a single recovery period.

    Asian Blepharoplasty

    Asian Blepharoplasty

    A specialized technique that creates or enhances the supratarsal crease (double eyelid) while respecting the unique anatomy and aesthetic preferences of Asian eyelid structure. Can be performed as incisional or suture (non-incisional) technique based on individual anatomy.

    Transconjunctival Lower Bleph

    "My heavy upper eyelids made me look exhausted no matter how much sleep I got. People constantly asked if I was tired. After my upper blepharoplasty in Istanbul, my eyes look bright and open — friends say I look ten years younger. The surgeon was meticulous and the incisions are completely hidden in my eyelid crease."

    Dorothy R.

    Scottsdale, AZ

    "I had both upper and lower blepharoplasty and the transformation is remarkable. The under-eye bags that aged me so much are completely gone, and my upper lids have a beautiful, defined crease again. My US surgeon quoted $9,500 — I paid less than $3,000 in Istanbul for superior results."

    Barbara M.

    Charlotte, NC

    "I chose the transconjunctival approach for my lower lids because I didn't want any visible scars. My surgeon removed the fat pads from inside my eyelid — there is literally no external incision. The bags are gone and I look refreshed without looking like I've had work done. Absolutely brilliant."

    Elizabeth K.

    Seattle, WA

    "At 58, my drooping eyelids were actually starting to affect my peripheral vision. My surgeon in Istanbul restored both my appearance and my field of vision in a single procedure. The recovery was easier than I expected — I was sightseeing in Istanbul by day 4. This was the best decision I've ever made."

    Common Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does eyelid surgery cost in Turkey compared to the US?+

    Blepharoplasty in Turkey typically costs between $1,500 and $3,500, compared to $4,000 to $8,000 in the United States. Our all-inclusive pricing covers surgeon fees, JCI-accredited facility, anesthesia, post-operative eye care kit, aftercare, and your luxury hotel stay.

    Is eyelid surgery in Turkey safe?+

    Absolutely. Turkey is one of the world's leading destinations for cosmetic facial surgery. Our surgeons operate in JCI-accredited facilities — the same international gold standard as top US medical centers. Every aspect of patient care meets or exceeds American safety protocols.

    Will eyelid surgery improve my vision?+

    Yes, in many cases. Upper blepharoplasty can significantly improve peripheral vision that has been obstructed by drooping eyelid skin. Many patients are surprised by how much their field of vision improves after removing the excess skin that was weighing down their upper lids.

    How long does swelling and bruising last?+

    Most swelling and bruising resolves within 7–10 days. You can typically cover any residual discoloration with makeup after suture removal (5–7 days). Final results continue to refine over 2–3 months as all deep tissue swelling resolves. Most patients look presentable in public within 10–14 days.

    How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?+

    We recommend a stay of 5 to 7 days. This allows for your pre-operative consultation, surgery, suture removal (typically day 5–7), and a final check-up before you fly home comfortably.

    Will I have visible scars?+

    Upper blepharoplasty incisions are hidden within the natural eyelid crease and become virtually invisible within a few weeks. Lower blepharoplasty incisions are placed just below the lash line or, in the case of transconjunctival technique, entirely inside the eyelid with no external scar at all.

    Can eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?+

    Yes. Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with a brow lift, facelift, or non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures can enhance overall results and reduce total recovery time compared to staging them separately.
