Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul
The eyes are the focal point of the face — and the first feature to show the effects of age, fatigue, and genetics. Blepharoplasty is one of the most transformative procedures in facial aesthetics, restoring a bright, rested, and naturally youthful appearance to your entire upper face.

Understanding Eyelid Surgery Procedures
Choosing the right blepharoplasty technique requires a thorough understanding of your eyelid anatomy, skin quality, and the specific concerns you want to address. At our Istanbul clinic, we discuss every option openly during your personal consultation.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin, fat, and laxity in the upper eyelid. Heavy, drooping upper lids can make the eyes appear tired or permanently sleepy — and when the hooding is significant, it can physically impair the upper visual field. Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess tissue through an incision hidden precisely in the natural eyelid crease, leaving a result that is virtually undetectable once healed.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags (fat prolapse), fine wrinkling, and skin laxity in the lower eyelid. Lower lid surgery is technically more complex than upper and requires careful assessment of the patient's orbital anatomy and lower lid support before planning.

Upper + Lower Combined
Many patients benefit from addressing both upper and lower lids in a single surgical session — maximising the overall refreshing effect and requiring only one anaesthesia and one recovery period.
Ptosis Repair vs. Blepharoplasty
An important distinction: blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat. Ptosis repair specifically tightens the levator muscle — the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid itself. Some patients have true ptosis rather than excess skin, and require muscle tightening rather than — or in addition to — skin removal. Dr. İpek assesses both conditions during your consultation.
Asian Eyelid Surgery (Double Eyelid Surgery)
A specialist procedure that creates or defines a natural upper eyelid crease in patients who have a single eyelid (epicanthal fold) or an indistinct crease. At Dr. Havva Duru İpek's Nişantaşı clinic, Asian double eyelid surgery is performed with deep respect for ethnic aesthetics — the goal is a naturally defined crease that enhances the eyes while preserving the patient's cultural identity and authentic appearance.
How Much Does It Cost?
Eyelid surgery costs in Istanbul vary based on whether you are having upper, lower, or both lids treated, and the complexity of the specific procedure.
Upper Blepharoplasty
The more straightforward of the two procedures — one of the most accessible surgical options we offer in terms of both complexity and price.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Greater technical complexity — cost varies based on whether fat is removed, repositioned, or skin tightened depending on your anatomy.
Combined Upper & Lower
More cost-effective than two separate surgeries with only one anaesthesia, one recovery, and one set of clinic fees.
