Why ask us for the quote
- One enquiry, quotes from several vetted clinics — you compare, nobody pressures you.
- We ask for the information a surgeon needs to quote: no photo upload, no medical files.
- Every clinic on our list holds a Turkish Ministry of Health licence and treats international patients.
- You keep your language: we pass on which of the 12 languages you want to be answered in.
- No fee to you, ever. Clinics pay us, and that is written on this page rather than hidden.
- We are not a clinic and never treat anyone — so we have no reason to talk you into surgery.
Frequently asked questions
Are you a clinic?
No. We are an independent information and referral platform. We write guides, we build free planning tools, and we pass enquiries to Turkish clinics we have checked. We do not diagnose, we do not treat, and we take no part in clinical decisions. That is also why we can compare surgeons rather than sell one.
How much does a facelift in Turkey cost?
A mini lift is typically €2,800–€4,000 all-inclusive, a full SMAS facelift €4,500–€7,000, and a deep plane lift €6,500–€10,000. Eyelid surgery adds €800–€1,800 and fat transfer around €1,000–€1,500. The same operations are £9,000–£17,000 in the UK and $12,000–$25,000 in the United States. Our cost calculator lets you price each combination.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
Seven to ten days for a full facelift: a day for consultation and tests, the operation with a night of monitored care, several days of recovery, stitch removal over the first week, and a check before you fly. The reason for staying is not the flight itself but the first week, when the risk of a haematoma is highest and being examined quickly matters most.
How do you check the surgeons you list?
We ask for a current Turkish Ministry of Health licence in the clinic name, a named operating surgeon with verifiable board certification, an accredited facility for general anaesthetic work with a named anaesthetist, and a written follow-up schedule that covers the first two weeks in country and the months afterwards. Clinics that will not put those things in writing do not get listed.
What does it cost me to use this site?
Nothing, at any point. The guides, the tools and the quote service are free to you, and we do not sell your details to advertisers. Clinics pay us a referral fee when they take on a patient we introduced. We would rather state that plainly here than let you discover it later — and it is also why we list several clinics rather than one.
Is a facelift in Turkey safe?
A facelift is real surgery under general anaesthetic, and that is true in every country. The variation that matters is between surgeons and facilities rather than between borders: Turkey has board-certified facial plastic surgeons operating in accredited hospitals, and it also has operations selling surgery as a package holiday. The specific things to check are the surgeon's board certification, where the operation takes place, who gives the anaesthetic, and what happens in the first week if something goes wrong. Every guide here is written to help you check them.
