In this guide
If you're pricing up eyelid surgery (clinically called blepharoplasty), Turkey is one of the most searched destinations, and for good reason: the same procedure often costs a fraction of UK private prices. But a headline number only tells you so much. This guide sets out our transparent "from" prices, explains exactly what a good package should include, and shows you how to read a quote so you're comparing like for like. For the procedure itself, see our full eyelid surgery in Turkey guide.
It's general information to help you prepare. It isn't medical advice, and it isn't a substitute for an assessment with a qualified surgeon.
Eyelid surgery prices at a glance
Below are SaluVista's guide "from" prices for eyelid surgery. They're starting points for the surgery within an organised package. Your own quote is personalised after your surgeon reviews your case.
| Procedure | From (GBP) | Approx. (EUR) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper eyelid surgery | from £1,315 | ≈ €1,550 | Hooded or heavy upper lids |
| Lower eyelid surgery | from £1,680 | ≈ €1,980 | Under-eye bags & puffiness |
| Upper + lower together | from £2,415 | ≈ €2,850 | A fuller, balanced refresh |
Doing both lids together generally costs less than two separate trips and single-lid fees added up. One operation, one recovery, one journey. Whether that's right for you is a clinical decision, not just a budgeting one. Euro figures use roughly £1 ≈ €1.18 and are indicative only.
A "from" price is a floor, not a promise. It reflects a straightforward case within a standard package. Your final quote depends on your eyelid anatomy, whether one or both lids are treated, and the plan your surgeon recommends after seeing your photos.
What's included in the price
A responsible medical-travel package should be all-inclusive for the treatment itself, so you're not surprised by add-ons after you arrive. At SaluVista, an eyelid-surgery package typically covers:
- The surgeon's fee and the operation itself.
- Anaesthesia (blepharoplasty is often done under local anaesthetic with sedation) and the accredited hospital or clinic facility.
- Standard pre-operative checks to confirm you're fit for surgery.
- Airport transfers and hotel accommodation for your stay.
- Post-operative follow-up, with your surgeon reachable through the SaluVista app after you travel home.
What's not normally included: your flights, travel insurance, and any treatment for unrelated conditions. Our what's in a plastic surgery package guide breaks this down in detail, and whatever the package, insist on an itemised quote that lists exactly what is and isn't covered before you commit.
Why it costs less than the UK
The most common worry is that a lower price signals lower quality. In reputable clinics, it doesn't. The saving is driven by local economics: staff wages, facility running costs, and the exchange rate are all lower in Turkey than in the UK, so the same operation carries a lower price tag. Board-certified plastic surgeons and accredited hospitals exist across the spectrum of prices.
The right response isn't to assume cheaper is worse, or that it's automatically fine. It's to look past the number at the surgeon's qualifications, the hospital's accreditation, and what the quote actually includes. The UK's NHS guidance on cosmetic procedures and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) both stress checking the surgeon and facility over chasing a low price. Our Turkey vs UK comparison weighs this up honestly.
A lower price should buy you the same surgery in a good hospital. Not a compromise on who operates or where.
How to compare quotes fairly
Two quotes that look far apart on price can be identical once you match what's inside them, or reveal that the cheaper one leaves things out. When you compare, line up:
| Compare | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Who operates | Is it a board-certified plastic surgeon, and will they do the surgery themselves? |
| Where | Is it an accredited hospital or a clinic — and is that suitable for your case? |
| What's covered | Surgery, anaesthesia, hospital, transfers, hotel, follow-up — all listed? |
| What's extra | Flights, extended stays, medication, any "consumables" charges? |
| Aftercare | Follow-up, and a written revision policy if an adjustment is ever needed? |
A slightly higher, fully transparent quote is usually better value than a rock-bottom one with gaps, so see what to look for in reviews for how to sanity-check a clinic beyond its price list.
Extras that can change your quote
Your "from" price can move for legitimate, clinical reasons. Being aware of them helps you read your itemised quote with confidence:
- One lid or both. Treating upper and lower together sits at a different price point than a single lid.
- The complexity of your case. More significant skin excess or muscle work can affect surgical time and planning.
- Related steps. Some people ask about a brow position or a lower-lid concern that a surgeon may or may not recommend addressing: this is a clinical call, never an upsell.
- Length of stay. Extra hotel nights beyond the standard package add cost.
None of these should ever appear as a surprise. A trustworthy clinic explains any variation before you agree, in writing.

Get your personal quote →Judging value, not just price
Eyelid surgery is delicate work close to the eye, where millimetres and symmetry matter. The single biggest driver of a good, natural result is the surgeon. Not the discount. At SaluVista, facial procedures including blepharoplasty are led by Assoc. Prof. Emre G., an academic plastic surgeon whose focus includes facial aesthetics. Screening and booking happen in the app, you speak with your surgeon before you travel, and a qualified human makes the final decision on your plan.
That framing matters for cost, too: a good surgeon will sometimes advise a smaller procedure, a non-surgical alternative, or no surgery at all, which is the opposite of the pressure a price-led "deal" can create. If you're building a wider budget, our plastic surgery cost in Turkey overview covers the full menu, and the plastic surgery hub links every procedure guide.
Safety before saving. Never choose a surgeon or clinic on price alone, never travel without a proper assessment, and never let a limited-time discount rush a permanent decision about your face.
How to get your personal quote
- Send photos and your goals. A few clear photos and a note on what bothers you are enough to start.
- Speak with your surgeon. You discuss what's realistic (upper, lower, both, or neither) before committing to anything.
- Get an itemised quote. You receive a transparent, personalised price with everything listed, confirmed after assessment.
- Decide in your own time. No deposit pressure, no countdown clocks. A considered decision is a safer one.

Frequently asked questions
How much does eyelid surgery cost in Turkey?
At SaluVista, upper eyelid surgery starts from £1,315, lower eyelid surgery from £1,680, and both upper and lower together from £2,415. These are guide 'from' prices for the surgery within an organised package; your final, itemised quote is confirmed after an individual assessment with your surgeon.
Why is eyelid surgery cheaper in Turkey than the UK?
Lower prices mainly reflect Turkey's lower cost base — staff, facilities and currency — not lower standards. Reputable clinics use accredited hospitals and board-certified plastic surgeons. The saving comes from local economics, so judge a clinic on the surgeon, the hospital and what the quote includes, never on price alone.
What is included in the eyelid surgery price?
A SaluVista eyelid-surgery package typically covers the surgeon's fee, the operation, anaesthesia, the accredited hospital or clinic facility, standard pre-operative checks, airport transfers, hotel accommodation and post-operative follow-up. Flights and any treatment for unrelated conditions are not included. Your itemised quote lists exactly what is and isn't covered.
Is the cheapest eyelid surgery quote the best choice?
No. The lowest price can hide a less experienced surgeon, a non-accredited facility, or extras added later. A slightly higher, fully transparent quote from a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited hospital is usually the safer value. Compare like for like, and prioritise safety and results over the headline number.
Does the price change after assessment?
It can. The 'from' price is a starting guide. After your surgeon reviews your photos, eyelid anatomy and goals, the plan may involve upper, lower or both lids, and occasionally related steps — so the final itemised quote is personalised. A responsible surgeon may also advise a smaller procedure, or none at all.
Are follow-up and revision included if something isn't right?
Post-operative follow-up is part of a proper package, and your surgeon remains reachable through the SaluVista app after you travel home. Revision policies vary and should be confirmed in writing before you book, so you understand what is covered if a further adjustment is ever needed.
This article is general information, not medical advice, and does not replace a consultation with a qualified surgeon.
