Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) in Turkey
Upper and lower eyelid surgery by specialist plastic surgeons in Istanbul — for a fresher, more rested look.
Eyelid surgery — blepharoplasty — with GlobMedTrust removes excess skin from the upper eyelids or bags under the eyes, or both. It is day surgery: you go back to your hotel the same day.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is surgery on the eyelids. On the upper lids, the surgeon removes excess skin that makes the eyes look heavy or tired and can sometimes narrow your field of vision. On the lower lids, it reduces bags by removing or repositioning fat.
The incisions follow the natural crease of the upper lid or lie just below the lower lashes, so the scars are well hidden once they have healed.
Who Is It For?
For anyone whose upper lids feel heavy or hooded, or whose lower lids show bags that make them look tired even when rested. During your medical review, your surgeon assesses whether the upper lids, the lower lids or both should be treated, and whether eyelid surgery can be combined with another procedure, such as a facelift.

All our partner surgeons have more than 19 years of experience. The surgeon selected for you during your medical review performs your operation personally. You meet them in person when you arrive in Istanbul, before your surgery.

Recovery
You can walk from day 1. The main swelling settles after about one week, and your final result shows after 3–6 months. There is no hospital night: most patients stay 1–2 nights in Istanbul, from arrival to the flight home.
What blepharoplasty costs
Treatment in Turkey often costs less than in the UK or US.
Your price depends mainly on these factors: upper lids, lower lids or both; whether fat is removed or repositioned; whether other procedures are combined; your package and length of stay.
Every package includes your treatment; Comfort and Imperial add the hotel, transfers and full aftercare.
Your price comes down to your eyelids: upper, lower or both, and whether fat is removed or repositioned. In a medical review, our medical team assesses exactly that from your photos and medical history and gives you your personal quote.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most patients stay 1–2 nights, from arrival to the flight home. Your surgery is usually on the day you arrive, and there is no hospital night.
How long do the results last?
The result is permanent; your face keeps ageing naturally.
Will people see scars?
On the upper lid, the scar lies in the natural crease; on the lower lid, just below the lashes. Once healed, it is usually hard to see.
Can I combine it with a facelift?
Yes. Your surgeon advises during your medical review whether a combination suits you.
Will the surgeon I'm told about actually operate on me?
Yes. The surgeon selected for you performs your operation personally, and you meet them in person in Istanbul before surgery. Who will operate on me →
Is there intensive care at the hospital?
Yes. Every partner hospital has an intensive care unit on site, and your anaesthetic is given by a specialist anaesthetist.
What signs after surgery mean I need help?
Chest pain, sudden breathlessness or bleeding that won't stop need an ambulance straight away. Pain or swelling in one leg, spreading redness, pus or a fever need a doctor the same day. See all warning signs →
