Whether you want one subtle change or a full-face refresh, we help you choose the right procedure, or the right combination, for your face and goals.
What is Face Surgery?
Face surgery, also called facial plastic surgery or cosmetic face surgery, is a group of procedures that reshape, lift or restore the features of the face, ears and neck. It includes aesthetic procedures, such as rhinoplasty, facelift and eyelid surgery, and functional procedures, such as improving nasal breathing or lifting heavy eyelids that narrow your vision.
The right procedure depends on the area you want to change. Sagging cheeks and jowls call for a facelift, heavy or puffy eyelids for eyelid surgery, a low brow for a brow lift, a loose neck for a neck lift, and the shape of the nose or ears for rhinoplasty or ear reshaping. Many patients combine two or three in one trip. Face surgery in Turkey has become a popular choice for UK and European patients because it combines experienced plastic surgeons, accredited hospitals and all-inclusive packages at a lower total cost.
Face Surgery Types in Turkey: Treatment Options
Face surgery covers several procedures, each aimed at a different area: the nose, eyes, brow, cheeks and jawline, ears and neck.
All of them are performed by specialist plastic surgeons in Istanbul, and many can be combined in one operation.
FACE PROCEDURES
Choose by the area you want to change. Your surgeon confirms the plan after a free photo review.
RHINOPLASTY
Reshapes the nose for a more balanced profile, or corrects breathing problems caused by the nasal structure. Techniques range from subtle refinements to full structural correction.
FACELIFT
Lifts sagging cheeks, jowls and the jawline by repositioning deeper facial tissue and removing excess skin, for a refreshed look that still looks like you.
NECK LIFT
Tightens loose neck skin and platysma bands and sharpens the jawline. It is often performed together with a facelift for a smoother line from cheek to collarbone.
EYELID SURGERY
Removes excess skin and puffiness from the upper or lower lids, easing a tired, heavy look and, in some cases, the drooping that narrows your field of vision.
BROW LIFT
Raises a low or heavy brow and softens forehead lines to open up the eyes. It is often paired with eyelid surgery when both areas have aged.
EAR RESHAPING
Pins back prominent ears or refines their size and shape, with incisions placed behind the ear. Suitable for adults and for children once ear growth is complete.
FACIAL REJUVENATION
A tailored combination of facelift, eyelid surgery, brow lift and neck lift, planned together so the whole face ages back in balance. Fat transfer or bichectomy can be added for volume or contour.
Which Face Surgery Is Right for You?
Match the area you want to change with the procedure that treats it.

Face Surgery in Istanbul:
A Step-by-Step Guide to What Awaits
STEP 1
From Photo Review to Arrival in Istanbul
After your first message, a dedicated case manager shares your face photos with the medical team, arranges your doctor consultation, and coordinates your travel and pre-operation instructions.
When you arrive in Istanbul, a driver takes you to your hotel. At the hospital, your surgeon examines your face in person and confirms the technique and incision plan after blood tests and a medical review.
STEP 2
Face Surgery and Hotel Recovery
Most face surgery is performed under general anaesthesia in a modern hospital, where you stay for 1 night (2 after a full facelift) before moving to your hotel. Upper eyelid surgery and ear reshaping can be done under local anaesthesia.
During your hotel recovery, MCAN Health’s nurses visit daily to check your dressings, swelling and healing. Most patients are ready to fly home 5–10 days after arrival, depending on the procedure.
STEP 3
Fit-to-Fly Check and Aftercare at Home
Before flying home, you have a final check-up and receive written aftercare instructions for your procedure, including how to sleep, protect your scars and when to resume exercise.
Through MCANFollow, your nurse contacts you within 48 hours of returning home, and the team supports you for 12 months. Through MCANFollow, your nurse contacts you within 48 hours of returning home, and the team supports you for 12 months.
Face Surgery Recovery: Procedure-by-Procedure Comparison
Recovery differs between a nose job and a facelift, so one timeline does not fit every procedure. Most patients are back to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks.
| Procedure | Hospital and Hotel Nights | Recovery Time | Final Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rhinoplasty | 1 hospital, 7 hotel | 1–2 weeks for daily activities | 6–12 months |
| Facelift | 1 hospital, 5 hotel (full facelift: 2 hospital, 7 hotel) | Fly home after about 10 days | About 6 months |
| Eyelid surgery | Upper lids: 4 hotel. Lower lids: 1 hospital, 4 hotel | 1–2 weeks | 3–6 months |
| Brow lift | 1 hospital, 6 hotel | 7–14 days | After swelling and bruising settle |
| Ear reshaping | 1 hospital, 3 hotel (general) or 4 hotel (local) | About 7 days | 3–6 months |
| Neck lift | 1 hospital, 5 hotel | 7–10 days in Istanbul, presentable in 2–3 weeks | 6–12 months |
Through MCANFollow, you can message your nurse directly for the first month and keep asking the follow-up team questions for 12 months.
Why Should You Get Face Surgery in Turkey?
Turkey, and Istanbul in particular, has become one of the most popular destinations for face surgery, welcoming patients from the UK, Europe and beyond every year.
Here’s why patients choose face surgery in Turkey:
- Experienced Facial Surgeons: Istanbul’s plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty, facelifts and eyelid surgery every week. MCAN Health works with contracted surgeons who hold international memberships such as ISAPS and EUBOPRAS.
- Affordable Face Surgery Options: Face surgery packages in Turkey start from €2,200, while UK private prices for a facelift reach €16,000–€22,000 before any hotel or travel costs. Lower running costs, not lower standards, make the difference.
- All-Inclusive Care: MCAN Health packages include your hospital stay, hotel, transfers, multilingual support and daily nurse visits, so there is nothing to book separately.
- Short Trip, Direct Flights: Istanbul is a direct flight from most UK and European airports, and a stay of 5–10 days is enough for most face procedures.
- Support After You Fly Home: 12 months of follow-up through MCANFollow and complication support through MCANAssurance mean you are never on your own after surgery abroad.
Who Is Suitable for Face Surgery in Turkey?
Face surgery in Turkey suits most healthy adults who want to change or refresh their features. Here are the key factors your surgeon will consider:
- Good Overall Health: You should be free from uncontrolled conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease or clotting disorders, that could complicate anaesthesia or healing.
- Realistic Expectations: Face surgery refreshes and refines your features, it does not give you a different face. Your surgeon shows you what your own anatomy allows.
- Time to Recover: Bruising and swelling stay visible for one to two weeks, so plan time off work and social events.
- Willing to Stop Smoking: Smoking slows healing and puts facial skin at risk, so you need to stop smoking and vaping before and after surgery. Your surgeon gives the exact timing.
- Legal Age and Full Growth: Most face surgery is performed on patients aged 18 and over, once facial growth is complete. Ear reshaping is the main exception and can be done in children.

Face Surgery Cost in Turkey with MCAN Health
How much is face surgery in Turkey? At MCAN Health, packages start from €2,200 for ear reshaping, €3,000 for eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty, €3,500 for a brow lift, €4,200 for a neck lift and €7,000 for a facelift. Your final price depends on the procedure, the technique and whether you combine treatments.
Face Surgery Cost Comparison: Turkey vs. the UK
Face surgery in Turkey costs less than the same procedure in a UK private clinic. A facelift, for example, costs €7,000 – €15,000 with MCAN Health, compared with €16,000 – €22,000 in the UK.
The Turkish price is also a package price. UK quotes rarely include a hotel, transfers or nurse visits, while MCAN Health’s all-inclusive packages cover them, along with 12 months of follow-up.
Prices in the table are for standalone procedures. Combining procedures, such as a facelift with a neck lift or eyelid surgery with a brow lift, increases the total cost. Your personalised quote confirms the final price after a free photo review.
| Face Surgery | Turkey (EUR) | United Kingdom (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Rhinoplasty | €3,000 – €10,000 | €8,000 – €15,000 |
| Facelift | €7,000 – €15,000 | €16,000 – €22,000 |
| Eyelid Surgery | €3,000 – €5,000 | €4,500 – €8,000 |
| Brow Lift | €3,500 – €5,000 | €6,000 – €8,500 |
| Ear Reshaping | €2,200 – €4,400 | €4,100 – €7,300 |
| Neck Lift | €4,200 – €9,900 | €8,700 – €11,000 |

A provider arranges the parts a hospital booking leaves to you. With MCAN Health, one team covers your consultation, travel, transfers, hotel, nurse visits and follow-up, with multilingual support throughout. We work with contracted plastic surgeons in Ministry of Health-approved hospitals, so you have a single point of contact instead of several. If you book a hospital directly, you arrange and coordinate these services yourself.
Contact MCAN Health and send clear, well-lit photos of your face and neck. The medical team reviews them, and you then have a free video consultation with the doctor. You receive a treatment plan and a fixed, all-inclusive quote. If you decide to go ahead, you pay a deposit to secure your date, and your case manager arranges the local logistics.
Your MCAN nurse contacts you within 48 hours of your return through MCANFollow, and you can message them directly for the first month.

A facelift and neck lift redefine the jawline by tightening loose skin and tissue, and bichectomy slims the lower cheeks by removing the buccal fat pad. These can be planned together as part of facial rejuvenation.
Before paying a deposit, check that the company holds Ministry of Health authorisation for health tourism, the hospital is accredited, and your surgeon is a specialist plastic surgeon. MCAN Health works with contracted surgeons who hold ISAPS and EUBOPRAS memberships (see our medical team), in Ministry of Health-approved hospitals in Istanbul, and its medical travel service is TEMOS-certified. Also ask for a written plan with the price and complication policy. A very low price with no aftercare is the most common warning sign.
Yes. Your MCAN nurse supports you from arrival to departure, and a nurse visits you at the hotel every day. You are also welcome to bring a companion, and your quote simply includes the extra hotel cost.
Cosmetic face surgery is not funded by the NHS, and standard travel insurance does not cover planned surgery abroad. MCAN Health offers medical travel insurance through partner providers, and MCANAssurance supports you if the surgical team confirms that a revision is medically necessary.
Wait until your surgeon has reviewed your photos and your case manager has confirmed your plan, quote and surgery date. Flights are not included in MCAN Health packages, and your case manager coordinates your travel dates with you.
