Best awake eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) package Turkey

What an awake blepharoplasty package is

Awake eyelid surgery — blepharoplasty under local anaesthetic — takes extra skin from a hooded upper lid, or fat from bags underneath, or both, while you remain awake. Drops and injections numb the lids. Light sedation can sit on the paper if the team names it; this stay is not sold as a general anaesthetic. It is not a facelift, not a fox-eye or canthopexy quote, and not a ptosis repair if the lid muscle itself is weak. It does not bleach dark circles on its own.

Just Clinic Istanbul coordinates this as the best all-inclusive awake eyelid stay we offer for that approach: the lids named on your written plan, same-day return to the hotel in most cases, hotel nights around the first suture checks, transfers, and an English-speaking coordinator. Who operates belongs on the paper, not in a slogan. A new eye shape is not promised at a fixed fee.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults bothered by hooded uppers, lower-lid bags, or both, who are well enough for local anaesthetic and who can keep the head still. Dry eye, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease, or previous lid or laser work must be said before anyone books a flight. Blood-thinners are paused only if your own clinician agrees. Contact lenses come out early; sunglasses go on after.

If you need a general anaesthetic, a brow lift, or a facelift in the same sitting, this is the wrong quote. Send daylight photographs — eyes open, eyes closed, looking up — without a filter. Suitability, and which lids, is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone operates.

What the all-inclusive stay covers

The EUR figure on this page is one coordinated stay, not a menu you assemble at the desk. Your written quote lists the awake blepharoplasty as planned after assessment — upper, lower or all four lids as named — local anaesthetic, light sedation only if that paper names it, the pre-operative examination and blood tests, same-day discharge or a short hospital night if the team keeps you, hotel nights with breakfast for the nights we book around the checks, private transfers between the airport, hotel and clinic, an English-speaking coordinator, and the drops or ointment handed over before you leave.

Hotel nights are hotel nights after discharge, not a ward stay. The coordinator stays the same person who wrote back to your first message.

What sits outside the quote

Flights to and from Istanbul are extra unless a contract says otherwise. Extra nights you add yourself, a companion’s room, travel insurance, a general anaesthetic that was never on the paper, a brow lift, a facelift, canthopexy, ptosis repair, and a second sitting sit outside this figure unless they are named there. Over-removing fat so the eye looks hollow is refused; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan four to six nights in the city. That window covers the in-person assessment, the sitting, swelling checks, suture checks — stitches often come out around days five to seven — and clearance to fly. Three nights is tight. Seven to ten nights belong to body operations, not this lid stay. If there is a short hospital night, it sits inside those days; it does not replace them.

Theatre time is usually forty-five minutes to two hours under local anaesthetic. Uppers only can be shorter; all four lids can take longer. You usually return to the hotel the same evening. Discharge is signed by the surgeon — it is not an advertising date.

Recovery after you fly home

The first forty-eight to seventy-two hours are swelling and bruising at their peak. Cool compresses, head elevated, ointment as shown. No rubbing, no heavy bending, no gym, no contact lenses until the team clears them. Sunglasses outside. Desk work is often possible after one to two weeks if the surgeon agrees. Scars hide in the upper crease or under the lash line; they fade over months. The look at the hotel is not the final one. None of that is an eye-shape guarantee.

Red flags after you return — sudden vision change, a hard swelling, spreading redness, pus, a temperature that persists, or pain that is getting worse — mean an eye doctor or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.
