Istanbul, Turkey — Board-Certified, Three Causes, One Answer

Upper Blepharoplasty in Turkey

The Eyelid Is Not Always the Only Culprit.

A heavy, hooded lid can come from excess skin, from the lid margin itself dropping, or from a descended brow — three different problems that look alike but need different corrections.

The Central Diagnostic Step

The Eyelid Is Not Always the Only Culprit

Three separate things produce the same heavy, hooded look in a photograph, and they need genuinely different corrections. Upper blepharoplasty corrects the first one directly. On the second and third it can be performed perfectly and still leave you looking at most of what you came in about.

Upper Blepharoplasty in Turkey

01 · Dermatochalasis

Dermatochalasis

Loose, redundant upper lid skin overhanging the lash line, with the lid margin itself sitting where it should. This is the most common reason patients come to this page, and it is exactly what upper blepharoplasty corrects. Remove the fold and the eye opens.

What it needs

Excess lid skin with a normally positioned margin.

Price

€2,400 for both upper lids — on our current list.

Cost Transparency

From €2,400.And the Two Things That Might Also Be Needed Are Right Here.

€2,400 for both upper lids. The brow lift and the ptosis repair are in the same table on purpose, because those are the two findings that turn this into a bigger plan — and a clinic with a reason to hide them from you would leave them off. Ptosis repair carries no list price: the amount of levator work varies far more than skin removal does.

*€2,400 is a single line on our current price list, including anaesthesia, one hospital night, transfers, interpreter and 12-month follow-up. Other countries' figures are shown for reference only.

Accredited Theatres

Continuous vital-sign monitoring and one night's hospital stay.

Why Istanbul

Is It Worth Going to Turkey for Upper Blepharoplasty?

Short answer: yes, and the thing to verify is not the price. Ask whether the clinic checks your lid margin and your brow height before recommending skin removal, and whether it can perform the levator repair and the brow lift itself.

Oculoplastic Depth, Not Just Volume

1,600+ upper lids, performed alone and alongside brow lifts and levator repairs in the same building.

Skin, Margin or Brow, Answered First

Your lid margin is measured against the pupil with the brow held still, then your brow is lifted manually to see whether the heaviness resolves.

A Genuine Cost Difference

Lower operating, staffing and facility costs plus the exchange rate produce a real difference against the €4,500–€8,500 upper blepharoplasty commands elsewhere.

Direct Flights, Then 5–7 Nights

One trip of five to seven days: examination, surgery, suture removal and a pre-flight check.

Upper Lid Timeline

Removing Hooding Without Over-Tightening

The only real risk of getting upper-lid surgery wrong is taking too much skin. Every step is designed to avoid it.

  1. Check

    Lid or Brow?

    If lifting your brow with a finger fixes the hooding, a brow lift may be needed instead of, or as well as, upper-lid surgery.

  2. Marking

    Skin Measured While Seated

    The amount removed is measured with you upright so the lid still closes comfortably afterwards.

  3. Surgery

    Fine Sutures in the Fold

    The surgeon excises a crescent of surplus eyelid tissue along the marked crease; hair-thin stitches then hold the fold while it knits.

  4. Healing

    A Scar the Fold Conceals

    Stitches come out after a few days, and the line sits in the natural crease where it becomes very hard to see.

Upper Blepharoplasty FAQs

Upper Blepharoplasty: Lifting Heavy Lids

Removing hooded upper-lid skin — who upper blepharoplasty suits and what to expect.

Upper blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that removes excess skin, and sometimes a small amount of fat or muscle, from the upper eyelids. It reduces hooding, creates a clearer eyelid crease and can make the eyes look more open and less tired.

Upper blepharoplasty suits people whose upper eyelid skin has become loose or heavy with age, causing a tired look, difficulty applying eye make-up or, in more severe cases, skin resting on the lashes and restricting the upper field of vision.

Not always. A drooping brow can push skin down onto the upper lids, making them look heavier than they are. If lifting your brow with a finger improves the hooding, a brow lift may be needed instead of, or alongside, upper blepharoplasty.
