What your journey feels like

Day by day with face surgery in Istanbul

Surgical face procedures (facelift, brow lift, eyelid lift, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, bichectomy) typically require 5-7 days in Istanbul. Surgery duration and recovery vary by procedure. Full social readiness after 2-3 weeks, final result after 3-6 months.

Arrival & pre-op assessment

  • 08:30
    Landing in Istanbul

    Mapa driver in arrivals with a "Mapa Health" sign.

  • 11:00
    Hotel check-in

    5-star partner hotel near the hospital.

  • 14:00
    Clinic: pre-op assessment

    Blood tests, ECG, anaesthesia evaluation, photographic documentation and digital mock-up. You see the planned result on screen.

DAY 2

Surgery day

  • 07:30
    Hospital admission

    Admission examination, consent talk, gown.

  • 09:00
    Surgery under general anaesthesia or sedation

    1-4 hours depending on the procedure. You wake up in recovery without consciously experiencing the surgery.

  • 13:00
    First hours

    Swelling begins, cooling compresses are in place. Pain medication IV, then oral.

  • 20:00
    First night

    Sleeping with the head elevated is recommended; dressing or bandage depending on the procedure.

DAY 3-4

Recovery & follow-up

  • Day 3
    Wound check

    Dressing change, healing assessment, gentle cleaning. Swelling often peaks today.

  • Day 4
    Hotel recovery

    Head elevation, ice compresses, stay calm. Bruises spread, then fade over days.

DAY 5-7

Travel clearance & trip home

  • Day 5-6
    Suture removal & final follow-up

    Self-dissolving sutures need no removal. Otherwise a brief session. Written surgical report, care plan, travel clearance.

  • Day 7+
    Trip home

    Swelling and bruises will still be visible - sunglasses and a loose hat recommended. Full social activity after 2-3 weeks.

What if...?

"When will I look "normal" again?"

Swelling peaks on day 3-4 and then gradually subsides. Bruises change colour over 1-3 weeks (purple → green → yellow → gone). Most patients are socially inconspicuous with make-up after 2-3 weeks. Final result after 3-6 months, when swelling has fully resolved.

"What if I am afraid of general anaesthesia?"

For smaller procedures (otoplasty, bichectomy) sedation with local anaesthesia is possible. For major procedures (facelift, rhinoplasty) general anaesthesia is standard and very safe. Have a thorough talk with the anaesthetist before surgery.

"Travelling alone - can I manage after face surgery?"

A companion is strongly recommended for the first 3-5 days, especially for major procedures. Swelling can briefly affect vision (especially with eyelid surgery). Mapa support is enhanced for solo travellers.

"What if I do not speak Turkish?"

Admission, surgical consent and follow-ups are in English. Hospital nurses communicate via Mapa interpreters. Care plan and surgical report are issued in English.

Answered honestly

What patients often hesitate to ask

Honest answers about eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) - lid closure, dry eyes, long-term effects.

Where will the scars be and how visible?

For upper-lid surgery: incision in the natural lid crease - barely visible after 6-12 months. For lower-lid surgery: incision directly under the lashes (subciliary) or transconjunctival (from inside, no visible scar). The transconjunctival technique is preferred for pure fat removal - no visible scar. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

Will I be unable to close my eyes properly after surgery?

Temporary difficulty fully closing the eyes in the first 1-2 weeks is common. Permanent lid-closure problems (lagophthalmos) are rare and usually the result of overly aggressive skin removal - a correction is possible but complex. An experienced clinic removes conservatively and avoids over-treatment. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

What if I get dry eyes after surgery?

Dry eyes for 4-12 weeks are common - the lid-closure mechanics are temporarily altered. Artificial tears help. With pre-existing dry eyes or Sjogren's syndrome, the risk of permanent worsening is increased - this should be honestly assessed before surgery. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

Will my eyes feel "different" after surgery?

Temporary changes are common: dry eyes, light sensitivity, mild tightness, altered sensation. In most patients these normalize within 3-6 months. A small group is left with permanent changes. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed. This keeps the FAQ useful for planning without turning it into a guarantee or a substitute for personal medical advice.

How long does the result last?

Upper-lid surgery often lasts 10-15 years. Lower-lid surgery 5-10 years, because lower-lid skin ages more sensitively. Lifestyle factors (sun, smoking, fatigue) influence longevity. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed. This keeps the FAQ useful for planning without turning it into a guarantee or a substitute for personal medical advice.

What does eyelid surgery cost in Turkey vs. your home country?

In Western Europe eyelid surgery typically runs £2,150-£4,300 per pair of eyes, in Turkey £1,290-£2,580. What to look for: appropriately credentialed ophthalmic or plastic surgeon, transconjunctival technique on the lower lid, Schirmer test in case of dry eyes. Package prices below £1,030 should be scrutinized very carefully. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

What documents and tests should I send before my trip?

Send recent diagnostic reports (relevant to your procedure: imaging, blood work, specialist letters), your full medication list including supplements, allergy history, and a brief health summary including chronic conditions and prior surgeries. Our medical team reviews these free of charge within 24-48 hours so we can confirm candidacy, finalize the plan and quote a binding price before you book travel. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

How is follow-up coordinated in my home country?

Before discharge you receive a written discharge summary, operative report, medication plan and a follow-up schedule (typical milestones: 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, 12 months). Routine follow-ups can be done via WhatsApp video with our team, or with any qualified specialist in your home country - your operative report is shared on request. Most local providers accept these checks as private-pay services. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

Medical planning checkpoints

Use this section to evaluate Blepharoplasty Turkey as a medical-travel decision, not only as a price comparison. The right plan depends on diagnosis, eligibility, medical records, realistic expectations, aftercare access and the written offer issued before travel.

Confirm eligibility first

Suitability should be checked before any booking. Share recent tests, medication lists, allergies, previous operations and relevant photographs or scans. The treating physician or clinic must confirm whether Blepharoplasty Turkey is appropriate and whether another option would be safer.

Compare the alternatives

Ask what would happen if you choose local care, postpone treatment, use a less invasive option or select another procedure in the same specialty. A good consultation explains why the proposed route fits your diagnosis and why excluded alternatives are less suitable.

Read the written offer

The price should be read together with inclusions, exclusions, currency, provider details, hotel nights, transfers, diagnostics, medicines, revisions and follow-up route. £2,950 is a starting figure; the final quote depends on assessment and availability.

Plan recovery realistically

Travel planning should include downtime, flight timing, activity restrictions, wound or eye care, diet changes, remote follow-up and warning signs. Do not plan important work, sport or long travel until the recovery window is clear.

Check provider responsibility

Mapa Health coordinates the journey, but the treating provider makes medical decisions. Before travel, confirm the facility, physician role, consent form, emergency contact, aftercare terms and how records will be shared after returning home.

Keep evidence and questions

Save the written plan, consent forms, device or implant details where relevant, invoices and aftercare instructions. Bring questions about risks, expected limits, pain control, complications, alternatives and what is not included in the package.

Before confirming travel, check:

  • written diagnosis or indication
  • provider and physician details
  • clear inclusions and exclusions
  • recovery and flight timing
  • aftercare and emergency route
  • final quote after medical assessment

This page is educational. Personal medical advice can only be given after clinical review by the responsible healthcare professional.

Compare this treatment option

Before choosing, compare this option with local treatment, non-surgical care where relevant, and alternative procedures in the same category. The right choice depends on diagnosis, eligibility, risks, recovery time and the written aftercare plan.
