Endoscopic brow lift cost in Turkey

What is an endoscopic brow lift?

An endoscopic brow lift, also called an endoscopic forehead lift, raises a drooping brow and lower forehead through small incisions hidden behind the hairline. The surgeon uses an endoscope to view the tissues and repositions or secures them according to your brow position, forehead height, hairline, skin quality and facial proportions.

A brow lift may soften forehead and frown lines and reduce some upper-eyelid hooding, but it does not automatically remove excess eyelid skin, change the shape of the eyes or correct eyelid ptosis. The treating hospital or clinic handles appointments and communication and arranges practical services only where listed in the written offer; the named surgeon is responsible for the clinical assessment and operation.

Who might consider brow lift surgery?

A surgeon may consider a brow lift for an adult with a low or heavy brow, forehead laxity, frown lines or a tired-looking upper face who is generally healthy and has realistic expectations. The consultation should cover your brow and eyelid position, forehead height, hairline, skin quality, facial asymmetry, previous surgery, medicines, smoking status and any eye or vision symptoms.

New visual change, a new lump, sudden swelling, persistent pain or another unexplained symptom needs medical assessment before cosmetic surgery. Surgery may be postponed if a condition affects healing or anaesthesia, the tissues are still changing, the eyes are not suitable for the planned correction or expectations are unrealistic.

How is an endoscopic brow lift planned?

• Cause-led assessment: the surgeon separates brow descent from excess upper-eyelid skin, eyelid ptosis, forehead muscle activity, skin laxity and natural asymmetry.
• Endoscopic access: several small incisions behind the hairline allow the surgeon to view and release the forehead tissues before positioning the brow.
• Individual fixation: the method used to secure the brow depends on the tissue quality, the amount of lift required and the surgeon's chosen technique.
• Balanced expectations: the aim is a proportionate, refreshed appearance rather than a fixed expression, an identical brow line or a guarantee that ageing will not continue.

The endoscopic approach is a surgical decision, not a package label. An open or direct brow lift, Botox, thread lift, isolated temporal lift and upper- or lower-eyelid surgery are outside this guide unless they are separately assessed and itemised in writing.

Operation time, anaesthesia and hospital stay

An endoscopic brow lift commonly takes around 1–3 hours, although the duration changes with the technique, tissue release, fixation, anaesthetic plan and any separately agreed procedure. Local or general anaesthesia may be considered, with the anaesthetist assessing what is safe for you.

Many isolated brow lifts are performed as outpatient surgery, but observation or an overnight stay may be advised depending on the operation, drains, anaesthetic and facility. The written quote should identify the surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre and hospital fees, tests, dressings, medication, possible drains, planned checks and discharge criteria.

Planning your stay in Istanbul

Arrange your trip around assessment, surgery, observation, a wound or brow check and clearance to travel. Keep return flights flexible because the safe interval depends on your operation, recovery, symptoms and the surgeon's advice. Do not treat a fixed flight date as a substitute for clinical clearance.

Bring your medical history, medication list and relevant records. Wear loose front-opening clothing, arrange help with luggage and avoid planning heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, swimming, sun exposure or a tightly scheduled sightseeing programme during early recovery. Flights and extra accommodation are separate unless expressly included.

Preparing for an endoscopic brow lift

• Share your medical history, medicines, supplements, allergies, previous facial or eyelid surgery, smoking status and any problems with anaesthesia or wound healing.
• Report new vision changes, dry or irritated eyes, a new lump, persistent pain, sudden swelling or another unexpected symptom for medical assessment before cosmetic surgery.
• Explain whether you want the brow lifted, forehead lines softened or upper-eyelid hooding assessed, and confirm which correction is included without assuming that blepharoplasty is part of the plan.
• Follow instructions about smoking, alcohol, fasting, medicines and supplements. Never stop a prescribed blood thinner without clinical advice.
• Arrange help with luggage and daily tasks and bring loose front-opening clothing that will not rub the incisions.
• Confirm incision care, dressings, driving, exercise, sun protection, follow-up and travel instructions before booking flights.

Recovery and follow-up

Swelling, bruising, tightness, soreness, headache, itching and temporary numbness or tingling around the forehead and scalp can occur. A dressing or headband may be used, and the surgeon may advise cool packs and head elevation. Protect the incisions and avoid bending, heavy lifting and strenuous activity until cleared.

Many people need around 10–14 days before returning to work or normal public activities, but the timeline depends on the technique, bruising, the work involved and any combined procedure. Do not drive while vision, movement, pain or medication makes it unsafe. Brow position, sensation and scars continue to settle after the early recovery period.

Possible complications include bleeding or haematoma, infection, fluid collection, poor wound healing, asymmetry, under- or over-correction, recurrence of brow droop, visible scars, hair loss around incisions, an elevated hairline, altered sensation, dry or irritated eyes, facial nerve injury, blood clots, anaesthetic complications and the possibility of further surgery. Contact the surgical team promptly about severe pain, heavy bleeding, fever, increasing redness, sudden vision change, new facial weakness, breathing difficulty, shortness of breath or another unexpected symptom.

Brow lift Turkey cost FAQs

How much does a brow lift cost in Turkey in 2026?
The provider-guide range on this page is 2,000–3,500 EUR for a surgical endoscopic brow and forehead lift as of September 2026. The final technique, hospital arrangements and inclusions affect the written quote.

Does the brow lift price include eyelid surgery?
No. Upper- or lower-eyelid surgery is outside this defined guide. If the surgeon recommends blepharoplasty or treatment for eyelid ptosis, it should be assessed and itemised separately.

Is an endoscopic brow lift the same as a temporal brow lift?
No. An endoscopic lift addresses the brow and lower forehead through small incisions behind the hairline. An isolated temporal lift focuses on the outer brow and is outside this guide unless separately planned and quoted.

Am I suitable for an endoscopic brow lift in Turkey?
Suitability depends on your brow and forehead anatomy, hairline, skin quality, health, medicines, smoking status, eye symptoms and expectations. New visual changes or another unexplained symptom needs medical assessment first.

How long should I stay in Turkey after a brow lift?
Allow time for assessment, surgery, observation, a brow or wound check and travel clearance. The surgeon sets the safe interval for flying, so keep return plans flexible.

What is recovery like after an endoscopic brow lift?
Swelling, bruising, tightness, soreness and temporary forehead or scalp numbness are possible. Work, driving, lifting, exercise and swimming should resume only when the surgeon says it is safe.

Are flights and hotel included in the brow lift price?
Only if expressly listed. Check the written quote for hospital care, tests, dressings, medication, hotel nights, transfers, follow-up and companion costs.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

Can I have a brow lift and blepharoplasty at the same time?

Yes, a brow lift and blepharoplasty can sometimes be performed during the same operation, but the brow and eyelids should be assessed together before deciding how much surgery each area needs. A low brow can make the upper eyelid appear more hooded, and raising the brow may change how much upper-eyelid skin still needs to be removed. Removing too much eyelid skin without considering brow position can create problems with eyelid closure. Lower blepharoplasty can also be combined when it is independently indicated, but lower-lid laxity, dry-eye symptoms, previous eyelid surgery and eye health need separate assessment. The aim is not to add procedures automatically, but to treat the anatomical cause of each concern.

How are bleeding, haematoma and nerve injury managed in a face, neck, brow or temple lift?

ASPS lists bleeding and facial-nerve weakness among facelift risks. No single tissue layer is better for everyone. A skin, SMAS or deep-plane operation is a different operation, and the nerve is at risk in a different place in each. The written plan should say which layer will be worked in. Haematoma is the facelift complication that most often means a return to theatre. A 2001–2013 meta-analysis found expanding haematoma in about 1.8% of cases, and the TOPS database in about 1.97%. About 90% of haematomas appear in the first 24 hours. A small collection can distort the contour. A large one can threaten the skin flap and, rarely, the airway. The treatment of a significant collection is to find the bleeding point and evacuate it. Opening stitches to relieve pressure has been described as a temporary step if evacuation is delayed. Uncontrolled blood pressure is a main risk. Cutting the facial nerve is rare. Weakness that continues after the anaesthetic wears off can come from a stitch, tension or cautery heat and may settle over days or weeks. Weakness that does not settle should be reviewed by the team that operated. Sources: ASPS facelift safety, ASJ Open Forum review of early facelift complications.

If vision changes, the eye will not close, the face becomes weak, or a haematoma develops after I go home, what happens and who pays?

The symptoms that need review without delay depend on the operation. After a face, neck, brow or temple lift: rapidly growing swelling on one side, pain, breathlessness or new facial weakness. After eyelid surgery: a lid that will not close, severe pain, an eye being pushed forward, or reduced vision. After facial fat injection: sudden loss of vision. ASPS lists blindness among eyelid-surgery risks, while describing it as very rare. A significant haematoma is treated by evacuation, as described above. Fat in a vessel needs emergency eye assessment. The NHS asks people to settle in writing, before cosmetic surgery abroad, where reviews happen, what further surgery and a return journey cost, and whether the clinic’s insurance covers the patient. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. Follow-up after an operation in the UK is the surgeon’s responsibility. A clinic abroad may not offer the same follow-up or a doctor in your own country. The NHS uses 7–10 days after facial cosmetic surgery as a planning window before flying, because of clot risk. Your own surgeon gives the personal clearance. This page does not say that any partner pays for admission, revision or the return flight.

Can an endoscopic brow lift raise my hairline?

An elevated hairline is a recognised possible risk of brow lift surgery, although it is not inevitable. The effect depends on your forehead and hairline anatomy, the incision and the surgical plan. This page concerns a general endoscopic brow and forehead lift; a temporal brow lift is a separate procedure with a narrower scope. The ASPS brow lift safety guidance lists elevated hairline and hair loss around incisions among possible risks. Ask the surgeon how the proposed approach may affect your hairline, scars and brow position before deciding.
