Scandinavia to Istanbul logistics

  • Flight time: ~4 hours from Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki
  • Time zone: Istanbul 1–2 hours ahead depending on country and season
  • Visa: not required for Scandinavian passports under 90 days

Why Scandinavian patients particularly choose Istanbul

Scandinavian private cosmetic surgery is among the highest-priced in Europe — often 50–80% higher than UK pricing for the same procedure. The cost differential to Istanbul is correspondingly large, while the medical standard of the surgeons we operate at is no lower than Scandinavian board-certified colleagues.

Frequently asked questions

How long should I plan to stay in Istanbul?

Medical disclaimer: This page provides general information about blepharoplasty and reflects the clinical opinions of Doç. Dr. Erdal. It does not constitute medical advice for any individual patient. Results vary; all surgery carries risk. Blepharoplasty in some cases produces irreversible changes to eyelid anatomy. Suitability is determined only through personal consultation with full medical history disclosure.

Not sure if you're a candidate?

Blepharoplasty is most successful when patient anatomy, age, and goals align with what surgery can realistically deliver. Send three facial photos (front, profile, eyes-closed) and Doç. Dr. Erdal will give you an honest, no-pressure suitability assessment before you commit to anything.
