A facelift in Turkey costs $13,000–$20,000 all-inclusive in 2026. That single figure covers the surgeon, accredited hospital, anesthesia, medication, VIP transfers and aftercare. Below: exactly what moves the price, what to check in any quote, and how to get your own number in two minutes.

We deliberately don't publish a per-technique price list, because the same technique carries different fees with different surgeons — and a low headline price often means something was left out. These are the five factors that decide where you land in the range.
A mini or short-scar lift is a shorter, less invasive operation than a deep plane facelift, which repositions deeper facial layers. More surgical time and more advanced training raise the fee — this is the single biggest price driver.
Adding a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift or fat transfer increases the total, but combining procedures in one session is cheaper than booking them separately because theatre and anesthesia time is shared.
Years of facelift-specific experience, board certification, society memberships (ISAPS, EBOPRAS, ASPS) and award recognition all push a surgeon toward the top band. This is the one factor worth paying for.
A secondary facelift works through scar tissue and altered anatomy, so revisions typically add 15–25% to the surgical fee and require a surgeon with documented revision experience.
Economic, standard and premium hotel options move the package total, but they never change the surgical quality — only the comfort of your recovery week.
Choosing between techniques? Read our deep plane facelift guide for how the most advanced approach compares — or let the calculator price your combination directly.
Every Medolea quote includes all six items below, in writing. If a quote you receive anywhere else is missing one of them, it is not all-inclusive — the difference will appear on your bill in Istanbul.
Many nationalities enter Turkey visa-free for up to 90 days; your coordinator confirms the rule for your passport before you book.
In the US or UK, the surgeon's fee alone for a deep plane facelift commonly exceeds the entire Turkish package — before anesthesia, facility fees or aftercare are added. Istanbul's advantage is structural: lower facility, staffing and insurance costs, in hospitals that hold the same international accreditations.
The meaningful comparison is never price against price — it is price against credentials. A board-certified facial surgeon with documented deep-plane case volume in an accredited Istanbul hospital is the equivalent operation, not a compromise. That is exactly the profile we verify before any surgeon enters our network.
Four short steps — procedures, surgeon credentials, hotel and transfer, then your details. We compare verified surgeons and send one all-inclusive price for your plan.
Most patients who use the Medolea calculator receive an all-inclusive estimate between $13,000 and $20,000. Experienced, board-eligible surgeons sit in the $13,000–$15,000 band; the most credentialed facial surgeons with society memberships, awards and premium accommodation land at $19,000–$20,000.
Yes. Your written quote covers surgeon and theatre fees, general anesthesia, hospital stay, post-operative medication and dressings, VIP airport-hotel-hospital transfers, and a written aftercare plan. Anything outside that is listed before you commit.
The same technique typically costs three to four times more in the US or UK, where surgeon fees alone often exceed an entire Turkish package. The difference comes from lower operating and staffing costs, not lower standards — the hospitals we work with are internationally accredited.
Because no two faces are the same. Technique depth, combined procedures (neck lift, eyelids, brow), tissue laxity, revision status, and the surgeon's seniority all move the price. A calculator estimate gives you a realistic planning band; the exact figure follows a surgeon's review of your photographs.
With a properly written package, no. Ask any provider to confirm in writing: anesthesia, hospital nights, medication, transfers, follow-up visits and revision terms. If any of those are missing from the quote, they will appear on your bill later.
You pay the clinic or hospital directly, before the surgery date, by bank transfer or card. Our matching service is free for patients and we never hold your money.
Important: every figure on this page is for planning only. Final pricing and medical suitability are confirmed after the surgeon reviews your photographs and health history. Prefer to talk it through? Message us on WhatsApp.
