Facelift and Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul: Face Aesthetic Package with Hotel

Why Istanbul for face aesthetics

Istanbul has experienced plastic surgeons working at accredited hospitals, and the cost of surgery, hospital and hotel is usually much lower than in the UK, the US or the Gulf. Staying in the city for the first days also means your surgeon can check your healing in person.

Which procedure is right for you

The right procedure depends on which area bothers you and on your skin, age and health. The surgeon will look at your photos and advise, and some patients combine two procedures in one operation.

• Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): removes extra skin that makes the eyes look heavy or tired.
• Lower eyelid surgery: treats bags and puffiness under the eyes.
• Mini facelift: lifts the lower face and jawline with shorter incisions, suited to early signs of ageing.
• Full facelift: lifts the cheeks, jawline and often the neck for more advanced sagging.
• Other facial procedures: such as brow lift or neck lift, discussed with the surgeon.

Who is a good candidate

Good candidates are in good general health, do not smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery, and have realistic expectations. Some medical conditions and medicines affect healing, so share your medical history early. The surgeon will advise whether surgery is right for you, or whether a smaller procedure would be enough.

What happens on surgery day

Eyelid surgery is often done under local anaesthesia with sedation and may not need an overnight stay. Facelifts are usually done under general anaesthesia, often with one night in hospital. Your surgeon explains the plan and the timing at the consultation.

Recovery and aftercare at home

Swelling and bruising are normal and usually settle enough for social life after about 10–14 days, while the final result keeps improving over several months. Sleeping with your head raised, cold compresses and following your surgeon's advice help most patients recover comfortably.

Facelift cost in Turkey: what you pay for

Facelift cost depends on the procedure, the size of the area treated and whether you combine operations. A mini facelift with shorter incisions usually costs less than a full facelift with a neck lift, and upper eyelid surgery alone is a smaller operation than upper and lower eyelid surgery together. The hospital, the surgeon and the number of nights also count.

A facelift in Turkey usually costs less than in the UK, the US or much of Europe because hospital fees, wages and hotel prices are lower. The saving comes from local costs. Your surgery takes place at one of our accredited partner hospitals with its own anaesthesia team, and the surgeon checks your healing in person before you fly home.

At our partner hospitals face aesthetic packages start from €2,450. The surgeon reviews your photos and medical history first, then we send the final price in writing for your exact procedure, with the hospital stay, hotel and transfers listed, so you know what is included before you book. Questions about the quote are always welcome.

Choosing the right hospital and surgeon in Istanbul

Before you book a facelift in Istanbul, check that the hospital is accredited and certified by the Turkish Ministry of Health and that the surgeon is a plastic surgeon with regular experience in facial surgery. Our partner hospitals meet these standards, and we send you the surgeon's plan before you travel so you can read it at home without pressure.

You meet the surgeon at the consultation before the operation. Ask which procedure they recommend for your face and why, where the incisions will be, what kind of anaesthesia is planned, how long the swelling usually lasts and what result is realistic for your skin. A good surgeon may suggest a smaller procedure, such as eyelid surgery alone, if that is enough.

Booking through a licensed agency means you have someone on your side who knows the partner hospitals. We compare them for your budget, and one team organises the hotel, transfers and interpreter. During the quiet recovery days your assistant is on call, and if anything worries you, we speak to the hospital for you.

Packages: Economy, Standard and VIP

Each face aesthetic package comes at three levels. Economy covers the treatment only: consultation, tests, surgery and the hospital stay if your procedure needs one. You arrange your own hotel and flights, and we can suggest calm hotels near the hospital where you can rest with your head raised between your check-ups.

Standard adds a hotel near the hospital and all airport and hospital transfers. VIP adds a 5-star or luxury hotel, VIP transfers, flights arranged by us and a personal host and interpreter who comes with you to every appointment, which helps when swelling makes you want a quiet, private routine for a few days.

Prices for Standard and VIP depend on the hotel level, the number of nights and your dates. Every package is quoted in writing before you book, so you can compare the three levels calmly.
