Lower Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul · €2,400
Bags under your eyes that sleep and creams never shift?
Lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions the fat that forms under-eye bags and tightens loose skin below the lashes. Both lower lids cost €2,400, or €2,900 combined with the upper lids. Incisions are hidden inside the lid or just below the lash line.
The junction between lower lid and cheek should look smooth in lower eyelid surgery before and after photos. Bags are removed or the fat is repositioned, depending on the case.

Neither fat technique is universally better. The question is whether a tear-trough hollow sits beneath your bags, because that decides whether the fat is something to get rid of or something to use. Running alongside it is a second question that sets the limit on the whole operation: how much structural support your lower lid actually has.
01 · Fat removal
The herniated fat producing the visible bulge is excised directly. It is straightforward and it is the right answer when there is no significant hollow underneath needing separate correction — an isolated bulge over a smooth transition into the cheek.

Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Emre G. qualified in medicine at Uludağ University in 2007 and completed his specialist training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Bezmialem Vakıf University between 2008 and 2014, with a research post at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. He has worked in both public hospitals and private practice, and the reconstructive half of that training shows in how he plans an aesthetic case. He practises at Natural Clinic in Istanbul.
Education
Short answer: yes, and the thing to verify is not the price. Ask whether the clinic assessed your eye-to-cheek relationship, and whether it performs fat repositioning as a matter of routine rather than as a special case. A clinic that only removes fat will find you a bulge and stop looking.

Lower-lid surgery is more technical than upper-lid surgery because the lid has to keep its shape and position.
Under-eye bags can come from bulging fat, loose skin or a groove between lid and cheek — and each calls for a different approach.
Pulling the lower lid gently and watching it return shows its support, which decides whether extra tightening is needed.
A transconjunctival incision leaves no visible scar; if skin must be removed, the line sits just below the lashes.
Where there's a hollow, fat is repositioned to smooth the junction between lid and cheek.
Lower lids swell more than upper ones, and residual puffiness can take a few months to clear.
Bags, hollows or loose skin — how lower blepharoplasty is tailored to what sits beneath your eyes.
Lower blepharoplasty is surgery on the lower eyelids that treats under-eye bags, puffiness and loose skin. Depending on your anatomy, the surgeon removes or repositions the fat that bulges beneath the eye and, if needed, trims a small amount of excess skin to create a smoother transition between the eyelid and cheek.
With age, the thin membrane that holds fat around the eye weakens, allowing fat to bulge forward, while the skin loses elasticity and a hollow can form between the lid and cheek. Lower blepharoplasty addresses these structural changes, which creams and fillers can only partly disguise.
Lower blepharoplasty can reduce shadows caused by bulging fat or a hollow tear trough, which often make dark circles look worse. It cannot change darkness caused by skin pigmentation or visible blood vessels, so your surgeon explains which part of the problem surgery can realistically improve.
Lower-lid surgery on its own is priced after the surgeon has examined how much fat, skin and lid laxity need treating, since repositioning fat or tightening the outer corner changes the work involved. For reference, all four eyelids together are listed at €2,900, and the lower-only figure is confirmed in writing before travel.
Under-eye bags frequently appear alongside midface and jawline ageing, so lower blepharoplasty is often combined with a facelift. A package covering facelift, neck lift, temporal lift and all four eyelids is available for €8,950, allowing everything to heal within one recovery period.
The technique used, whether fat is removed, repositioned into the tear trough or combined with skin tightening, is decided during planning and reflected in your written plan. The quoted price covers the approach agreed for your eyelids, so there are no surprises on the day of surgery.
When only fat needs to be treated, lower blepharoplasty is often performed through an incision on the inside of the eyelid, known as the transconjunctival approach, which leaves no visible scar. If excess skin also needs removing, a fine incision is made just below the lashes, where it heals discreetly.
If the lower lid is lax, surgery can cause it to pull downward or turn outward. A simple snap-back test and examination of lid tone help the surgeon decide whether additional support, such as tightening the outer corner, is needed to keep the eyelid in a natural position.
Possible complications include prolonged swelling, bruising, dry or watery eyes, asymmetry and, less commonly, a change in the position of the lower lid. Careful assessment of lid support and conservative skin removal help reduce the risk of the eyelid being pulled down.
Expect puffy, bruised lower lids and eyes that feel dry or scratchy for the first several days. Cold compresses, a raised head at night and lubricating drops ease this, while reading and screen time are kept short. Your surgeon reviews the lids in Istanbul before clearing you to fly.
About a week is sensible. Lower-lid swelling peaks in the first days, and if a lash-line incision was used, its stitches are removed before departure. The surgeon also checks that the lower lid is sitting in the correct position, since this is the main concern after lower eyelid surgery.
Contact lenses are usually avoided for at least one to two weeks after lower blepharoplasty, as inserting and removing them can put pressure on healing eyelids. Your surgeon advises when it is safe to resume, and glasses can be worn in the meantime.
Fluid tends to collect in the lower eyelids because of gravity and the thin, delicate tissue in this area. As a result, puffiness after lower blepharoplasty often lasts longer than after upper lid surgery and can take a few months to resolve completely.
Bruising usually fades within two weeks, revealing a smoother lid-to-cheek contour, although the lower lids can stay mildly puffy for longer because fluid collects there. Most surgeons judge the outcome of lower blepharoplasty at around three months, once that residual fluid has cleared. Photographs taken before surgery help you compare the change objectively.
Fat that has been removed or repositioned during lower blepharoplasty rarely returns, so results are long-lasting. The skin and surrounding tissues continue to age naturally, but the eyes typically remain less puffy than they were before surgery. Protecting the delicate skin from sun damage helps maintain the result.
Upper and lower lids are the most common pairing, so that page is the first link. The fox eye lift page covers the corner operation that gets confused with supportive canthopexy. The rest are the procedures that most often share the session.
