Erase Heavy Hooded Eyes and Dark Under-Eye Bags. Elite Blepharoplasty in Istanbul.

Starting from $2,500

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) is arguably the highest-impact, fastest-recovering cosmetic procedure available today. It permanently reverses the harsh visual signs of aging surrounding the eyes by addressing two distinct structural failures: "Hooding" and "Bags." For the upper eyelids, our elite surgeons in Istanbul surgically excise the heavy, drooping curtain of loose skin that sags over your eyelashes (often obstructing your natural vision). For the lower eyelids, we masterfully extract the bulging, herniated ocular fat pads that create permanent dark shadows and puffy circles. The excruciatingly precise incisions are hidden flawlessly within the natural creases of your eye geometry. Reclaim an alert, radiantly youthful appearance while recovering in absolute 5-star luxury at Dollhouz.

The Frustration: The "Tired" Stigma

If you are researching a Blepharoplasty, you are likely suffering from consequences that go far beyond aesthetics; it affects how the world mistakenly perceives your mood and energy.

  • The Emotional Tax: Listening to friends and coworkers constantly ask, "Are you okay? You look so exhausted today," when you feel completely fine.
  • The Makeup Nightmare: Attempting to apply eyeshadow or eyeliner only to realize your eyelid crease has completely disappeared underneath a heavy fold of sagging skin.
  • Vision Impairment: In severe cases of upper eyelid hooding, the heavy skin literally droops over your eyelashes, heavily restricting your peripheral vision and making driving dangerous.
  • The Filler Trap: Spending thousands on dermal filler injected underneath the lower eye bags to try and "hide" them — frequently leading to severe, bluish-grey bloating under the eye (the Tyndall effect) and making the problem considerably worse.

A Blepharoplasty physically removes the heavy skin and bulging fat, instantaneously restoring your energetic, authentic identity without looking "pulled."

The Surgical Technique: Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty

Because the upper and lower eyelids age differently, our surgeons approach them with entirely distinct, highly specialized techniques.

Upper Blepharoplasty (Fixing the Hood)

  • The Problem: The skin above the eye loses its elasticity and the foundational muscle weakens, causing the tissue to violently droop down over the lashes.
  • The Technique: An exquisitely fine incision is traced perfectly within the natural crease (fold) of the upper eyelid. The surgeon delicately trims away the exact amount of heavy, excess skin and microscopically tightens the underlying muscle.
  • The Scar: Because the incision sits squarely inside the natural crease, when your eyes are open, the microscopic scar is completely folded inward and 100% invisible.

Lower Blepharoplasty (Fixing the Bags)

  • The Problem: Your eyeball naturally sits on a cushion of fat inside the skull. As we age, the membrane holding that fat back severely weakens, causing the fat to aggressively bulge forward underneath the eye, creating permanent puffy "bags" and dark shadows.
  • Transconjunctival Technique: For the vast majority of our patients, the surgeon makes a tiny incision on the inside of the lower eyelid. There is absolutely zero external scarring on the skin. We gently vacuum out the herniated fat pads causing the bags.
  • Transcutaneous Technique: If you also have a massive amount of heavily wrinkled loose skin under the eye, an incision is hidden directly beneath the lower eyelash line to simultaneously remove fat and pull the loose skin tight.

Cost Comparison: USA/Canada vs. Turkey

In North America, finding a surgeon who specializes specifically in the delicate ocular region rather than general surgery is difficult and fiercely expensive. A combined Upper and Lower blepharoplasty routinely costs between $6,000 and $9,000 out of pocket in the US.

At Dollhouz in Istanbul, our premium VIP Blepharoplasty packages start from just $2,500. This encompasses everything: the highly specialized surgeon's premium surgical fee, your JCI-accredited elite hospital operating room, your luxury VIP hotel accommodation, dedicated airport transfers, and all necessary medication. You receive world-class surgical reconstruction at an incredible savings.

Recovery Timeline: Planning Your Healing

  • First 3 Days: You will experience intense swelling and extremely dark, purple "black eyes." The physical pain is remarkably low, feeling essentially like a minor sunburn or tight dry eyes. Aggressively apply cold compresses in your 5-star hotel room and sleep elevated on your back.
  • End of Week 1: The dark bruising miraculously turns yellow and begins fading rapidly. We remove any tiny external sutures right before you are officially cleared to fly safely back to North America.
  • Weeks 2 to 3: You can effortlessly return to a desk job. All residual bruising can easily be completely camouflaged with a light concealer. You look entirely revitalized.
  • Weeks 4 to 6: You are cleared to resume intense cardiovascular workouts and heavy lifting at the gym.
  • 3 to 6 Months: The microscopic crease scar completes its final fading process, shifting into a natural skin-tone line completely unnoticeable even when you close your eyes.

Are You a Good Candidate?

  • You suffer from a heavy fold of skin hanging over your upper eyelashes (hooding).
  • You have permanent, puffy fat bags bulging under your eyes that do not disappear with sleep or ice rollers.
  • You understand that Blepharoplasty does not eliminate "Crow's Feet" wrinkles on the side of the eye. (Botox is required for that.)
  • You are a strict non-smoker, as nicotine violently restricts oxygen to the healing eye tissue, causing massive healing delays.

Our goal is to remove the tired appearance while preserving the youthful fat pads that keep your face looking vital and healthy as you age.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) at DollHouz starts from $2,000 USD for upper or lower lids, and from $3,200 for both upper and lower together. In North America, the same procedure typically costs $5,000–$10,000 per treatment.

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin that droops over the eyelid crease — this can obstruct vision and create a heavy, tired appearance. The result is a more open, rested eye without looking overdone.

Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags caused by fat prolapse and excess skin. It removes or repositions the fat to eliminate puffiness and can tighten loose skin beneath the eye. It does not treat dark circles caused by pigmentation.

Upper eyelid incisions are placed in the natural eyelid crease and are virtually invisible once healed. Lower eyelid incisions are placed just below the lash line or, in some cases, inside the lower lid (transconjunctival approach) leaving no external scar at all. Your surgeon selects the approach based on your anatomy.

Bruising and swelling peak at days 3–5 and resolve over 2–3 weeks. Most patients are comfortable in public within 10–14 days. Final results — fully settled, scars faded — are visible at 3–6 months.

Plan for 5–7 days. The procedure takes 1–2 hours. You spend the recovery day at your hotel and attend a check-up before flying home.

Yes — it is commonly combined with a facelift, brow lift, or non-surgical treatments. Combining with a facelift allows full facial rejuvenation in one recovery. Your surgeon will advise on safe combinations at consultation.
