How Much Does Droopy eyelid surgery Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Droopy eyelid surgery in Turkey typically costs from AUD $3,000 to AUD $4,300. The final price depends on the technique used, the surgeon's expertise, and whether both lids require correction. Patients from Australia save approximately 46% compared to local private fees, which average around AUD $6,900. Packages in medical hubs like Istanbul and Antalya often include local anaesthetic, preoperative tests, and follow-up examinations.

  • Upper eyelid surgery: typically addresses sagging skin that may impair vision or cause a tired appearance.
  • Lower eyelid surgery: focuses on removing fatty deposits and tightening skin to reduce under-eye bags.
  • Ptosis repair: involves complex muscle adjustment and generally commands a higher price than standard cosmetic lifts.
  • City variations: clinics in Istanbul often charge 15–20% more than those in regional centres like Izmir.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Significant value exists in choosing specialists who focus almost exclusively on ophthalmic plastic surgery. For instance, Professor Ahmet Satici has performed over 20,000 procedures and offers specialised ptosis repair packages for approximately A$6,700. While general plastic surgeons are available, seeking an oculoplastic expert in JCI-accredited facilities like Memorial Şişli ensures the highest safety standards for complex muscle corrections.

Data verified by Bookimed as of October 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 71 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

I couldn't have wanted for more
What really stood out was sitting with my surgeon as he so carefully measured and marked my upper eyelids. He was very honest about what to expect from the recovery and potential scarring, which I appreciated. The procedure was done with just local anesthesia. I'm still in the early healing stages, but I am feeling better than expected so far. The clinic team has stayed in touch to check in on me, and there were no additional expenses at all. I can't even think of any advice for a future patient, because the clinic provided all the necessary information beforehand. I couldn't have wanted for more.

The surgeon did an excellent job – the incisions were made using the traditional method and are now hidden in the natural folds of the skin
I was worried that the scars from the upper and lower eyelid surgery would be noticeable. Fortunately, the surgeon did an excellent job – the incisions were made using the traditional method and are now hidden in the natural folds of the skin. I have no complaints about him whatsoever. However, the overall impression was greatly marred by the clinic itself, where the conditions were unsatisfactory. Recovery is still ongoing. My eyes are still swollen, and I’ve noticed that when I smile, one side looks slightly different. I hope this will pass. The main advice I would give to anyone considering this procedure is to prepare thoroughly for the period before and after the operation.

We will be going back for other treatment and truly can’t recommend them enough
Sitting in the clinic in Antalya, the surgeon explained how the laser-assisted technique for my upper eyelids would function during the procedure. The whole service was smooth and we had a fantastic time throughout our stay. The aftercare was good. I was thrilled with how my eyes looked at 12 days, although at day 15 my biggest challenge is that they are still puffy. My eyes look natural and smooth when I smile. It is a process. We will be going back for other treatment and truly can’t recommend them enough. If you are considering eyelid surgery, ensure you have a few weeks to let the initial swelling settle.

I now feel better than I expected
What I remember most about the whole process was the doctor’s approach. Before the operation, he personally marked the incision lines on my upper eyelids and honestly explained what I could realistically expect from the result. The procedure was carried out under general anaesthetic, and I now feel better than I expected. It was a great help that the doctor personally checked on me after the operation, and the clinic provided clear aftercare instructions. There were no additional costs. The only advice I would give to future patients is to make sure you confirm the exact date and time of the operation in advance.

The doctor is a professional, a master, a Creator!
The doctor is an amazingly warm, kind, and attentive person. He listened to my wishes and made adjustments with which I was 100% in agreement. The doctor is a professional, a master, a Creator! The team is excellently selected, and the staff is attentive and polite. The coordinator was always in touch, and I felt supported at every stage. The surgery was under general anesthesia, and now I feel better than I expected. Care in the clinic was round-the-clock, the staff was always nearby, and later remained in contact. No additional expenses were incurred. Future patients are advised to bring button-up pajamas and fully prepare for the surgery as instructed by your coordinator. This is important.

It felt like Dr
What stood out was the surgeon's personal attention. He personally checked on me after surgery. Beforehand, Dr. Yaman explained his deep plane technique very clearly for my facelift, which also included my upper and lower eyes, brows, and a lip lift. This personal touch was part of the overall atmosphere. Every thing had a positive vibe; everyone was professional and warm, and the facilities and transportation were exceptional. It felt like Dr. Yaman really cared for you as a person. My recovery is progressing about as expected. I received a clear aftercare guide and had no additional expenses. For me, a little more language support could be useful, but it didn't hinder the process.

From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle
I was on 29 September 2025 at Lockman hekim clinic for breast and eyelid reduction.All my fears and doubts were in vain. From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle. Everything went smoothly and smoothly. We arrived very early, we were taken to the clinic and our interpreter Olga was already in touch with us. We were placed in a beautifully decorated room, on the same day all the necessary medical parameters were taken. The doctor clearly explained what would happen and how it would be done. We were in the clinic for 3 days and then to the hotel. It was also clean, beautifully designed, rich breakfast. I recommend Lokman Hekim and Dr Marat Yaman if you want to change your appearance.
Food, staff, I can't single out anything, everything was good.

If I had a choice, I would contact the same surgeon and the same clinic
I had plastic surgery on the upper and lower eyelids. I can describe my experience as follows: an absolute feeling of safety and comfort throughout the provision of the service. Compassionate staff, talented surgeon, modern equipment and techniques. And subsequent support, which is also very important. If I had a choice, I would contact the same surgeon and the same clinic. On the upper eyelids the seams are very neat, on the lower eyelids I couldn’t find them at all. I am very grateful to my consultant doctor Stanislav from Bookimed for choosing the clinic and doctor, for his participation and support ❤️

Thank you so much 😊
I am very grateful to all the staff for their attentiveness and prompt assistance. I travelled alone, but I didn't feel lonely, I had support from all sides ☺️ Transfer is super, I didn't even expect that it would be so VIP, the drivers are very well-mannered, attentive, careful driving! The hotel is great, I got even more than положено👍🏼 The interpreter Olga provided all kinds of help, support and was always there for me! 🫶 I had a difficult operation on my nose, but Murat Yaman is a professional and did everything to the maximum and even more, I do not regret that out of all the options I was offered I chose him 🥰 I hope my nose will be beautiful) Thank you so much 😊
Transfer, ward, doctor, interpreter, hotel, staff
Some of the staff when I was lying in the ward forgot to bring me ice, water, but that's the way it is, I understand that they have a high workload and can't keep everything in their heads, so in the end they brought it a little later ) This is a trifle and the only small minus, I would not take it into account compared to the way they ran over me.

You will be nervous but when you finish, you will be glad you did it
My biggest worry going into this was the recovery pain. Honestly, the most challenging part so far post-op has been the donor site soreness from my love handles, not my face. My cheeks and temples, where the fat was transferred, are still quite swollen. It’s definitely too early to tell what the final volume will be. Right now, there is a slight difference in symmetry between the sides, but that can be expected at this stage. The surgeon and the clinic staff were straightforward and capable, which I appreciated. My one tip for anyone considering this is simple. You will be nervous but when you finish, you will be glad you did it.
The results were great which is the most important.
Would have loved more reassurance with procedure and what exactly the doctor was about to do. More detail explanation with recovery timelines and what to do during recovery .

I would absolutely recommend this clinic
What worried me most was how I'd manage the recovery, especially the no-sitting rule. It's a challenge. Finding a comfortable sleeping position has been the hardest part so far. My projection already looks good, although it is still quite swollen. The areas where they performed the VASER lipo feel lumpy and hard, which I understand is part of the early healing process. Despite the discomforts of recovery, the surgeon and the entire staff were supportive and professional, which made a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend this clinic.
Staff are friendly and the clinic was professionally clean and the nurses were friendly always at your service when you need them everything was properly organised from airport transport to hospital I loved the clinic it was very comfortable wouldn’t mind staying there throughout my recovery,the doctor was friendly always coming to check on you.
The clinic food 2/5 Mayb because I’m not used to Turkish cuisine I ate fruits most of the time.

But when I smile, the area looks so natural and smooth, which was the most important outcome for me
The incision lines from my combined upper and lower blepharoplasty are already barely noticeable. My surgeon used a laser-assisted method, and I'm very satisfied. The biggest challenge now is just patience, as my eyes are still puffy while they heal. It's a process. But when I smile, the area looks so natural and smooth, which was the most important outcome for me. The support from the staff and clinic has been consistent throughout.
After the shock of how I looked on day one post surgery the difference was seen daily. Swelling is still apparent day 15 post surgery but so pleased with procedure and would definitely recommend this hospital and Dr Omer Faruk Oge. Excellent service from start to finish.
Only one thing I was not happy with was cab driver who took myself and my Husband to really lovely hotel. Drove erratically and had another passenger in front seat. This was not the driver who collected us from Airport and returned us to Airport.

I applied to organise a blepharoplasty procedure in July. I was offered several doctors and clinics. There was also an online consultation. After a month in Antalya, I had a consultation with a doctor at the clinic and after the operation. All this time Valeria accompanied me and was in touch with me. I am satisfied with the results.

FAQ about Droopy eyelid surgery in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What are the common risks and recovery expectations for droopy eyelid surgery in Turkey?

Droopy eyelid surgery in Turkey is generally safe. It carries risks like dry eyes, swelling, and temporary asymmetry. Patients should expect bruising and lid puffiness for 7–14 days. Most return to daily tasks within a week. Final cosmetic results usually take 2 to 3 months.

  • Risk management: Doctors like Dr Ahmet Satici at Bagcilar Safak Hospital perform 1,000+ eyelid procedures annually.
  • Post-op symptoms: Dryness and irritation are standard side effects. These require lubricating eye drops early on.
  • Activity restrictions: Heavy exercise and sport must be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks after surgery.
  • Healing period: Stitches are generally removed after 7 days if non-dissolvable threads were used in theatre.
  • Pre-travel safety: Surgeons like Prof Dr Furkan Karabekmez offer telehealth consultations to screen Australian patients before travel.

Bookimed Expert Insight: many Turkish ophthalmology clinics focus exclusively on eye surgery. They perform much higher volumes than general plastic surgery centres. Dr Ahmet Satici has performed over 20,000 procedures. Some specialised packages include remote monitoring for Australians navigating a long-distance recovery.

Patient Consensus: Turkish patients mention that one eyelid may settle faster than the other. Swelling and bruising are expected for 2 weeks. Clear follow-up plans are essential before flying home.

What should I look for when choosing a surgeon for droopy eyelid surgery in Turkey?

Prioritise surgeons in Turkey with European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS) certification. You should also look for international ophthalmology credentials. Choose specialists at JCI-accredited facilities who perform at least 100 to 200 blepharoplasties annually. This helps provide consistent results and safe recovery.

  • Board certification: Verify EBOPRAS or Turkish Medical Association (TMA) registration for technical competence.
  • Specific subspecialisation: Oculoplastic surgeons or facial specialists manage delicate eye anatomy more effectively.
  • High surgical volume: Top surgeons like Dr Ahmet Satici perform 1,000+ eyelid procedures annually.
  • Accredited facilities: Choose clinics with JCI or ISO certifications, such as Memorial Şişli Hospital.
  • Aftercare support: Look for packages offering 24/7 post-operative monitoring and remote video follow-ups.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many patients choose general plastic surgeons. However, Bookimed data shows a trend towards senior ophthalmologists for ptosis repair. Professor Ahmet Satici at Private Bagcilar Safak Hospital performs over 1,000 eyelid surgeries each year. This high volume often leads to predictable outcomes in complex droopy eyelid cases.

What is the difference between blepharoplasty and ptosis repair for droopy eyelids in Turkey?

In Turkey, blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat to treat cosmetic hooding or bags. Ptosis repair is a functional surgery. It tightens the levator muscle to lift the eyelid margin. Surgeons in Istanbul often combine both procedures to improve appearance and field of vision.

  • Core target: Blepharoplasty removes tissue. Ptosis repair strengthens the internal lifting muscle.
  • Vision impact: Ptosis repair fixes a low lid margin that blocks the pupil.
  • Expert care: Surgeons like Dr Ahmet Satici perform 1,000+ eyelid procedures annually.
  • Efficiency: Doctors often use local anaesthesia for this same-day outpatient procedure.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many patients believe blepharoplasty fixes a heavy eyelid. However, if the lid margin covers the pupil, you likely need a levator muscle repair. Bookimed data shows specialists like Prof. Ahmet Satici include an ophthalmologist consultation in ptosis packages. This helps diagnose the lifting mechanism correctly before surgery.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey suggest confirming if a droop is skin-related or muscle-related. Use functional tests for this check. They found combining both procedures in one operation delivered the best symmetry and visibility.

How long do I need to remain in Turkey for droopy eyelid surgery?

Patients should plan to remain in Turkey for 7 to 10 days for droopy eyelid surgery. The procedure is typically an outpatient case using local anaesthesia. This timeframe allows for healing, follow-up examinations, and safe removal of stitches before flying back to Australia.

  • Hospital stay: Most surgeries are outpatient procedures requiring 0 nights of hospitalisation.
  • Stitch removal: Surgeons typically remove non-dissolvable sutures around day 7 or 8.
  • Initial recovery: Significant swelling and bruising usually begin to subside within 4 to 7 days.
  • Surgical volume: Professor Ahmet Satici at Private Bagcilar Safak Hospital performs 1,000+ eyelid procedures annually.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many clinics suggest a 7-day stay. However, professor-led teams often provide access to remote monitoring. Specialists like Dr Furkan Erol Karabekmez offer structured digital follow-ups. This helps Australians who face a 20+ hour flight and need guidance after departing Istanbul.

Patient Consensus: Plan for 10 to 14 days in Turkey if you prefer a full review and suture removal before departing. Buffering extra days ensures swelling is manageable and allows for rest without rushing to the airport.
