Thread Lift in Turkey is usually sold as an all-inclusive package (€800 – €2,500), but two packages at the same price can be very different. Here's how to compare them properly.
| Detail | Typical in Turkey |
|---|
| Price range | €800 – €2,500 |
| Procedure time | 30–60 minutes |
| Anaesthesia | Local |
| Downtime | 3–5 days |
| Recovery | 2–3 weeks |
| Stay in Turkey | 3–5 days |
What a package typically includes
Most packages cover the surgery, the surgeon and facility fee, hospital stay where relevant, transfers, hotel for the recovery window, and a translator/coordinator.
What's often excluded
Flights are frequently *not* included. Also check: medications, post-op garments, additional nights if recovery runs long, and revision/complication cover.
Budget vs premium — where the difference goes
A higher tier usually buys more surgeon time and experience, a better facility, a more senior anaesthesia team, and stronger aftercare — not just a nicer hotel. Don't assume the cheapest package and the priciest differ only in accommodation.
How to compare like-for-like
Get each package's inclusions and exclusions in writing and line them up side by side. The headline number means little until you know what's in it.
About Thread Lift in Turkey
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) threads inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas of the face, jawline, and neck. The threads also stimulate collagen production for continued improvement.
Turkey offers advanced thread lift techniques at competitive prices, making it an attractive option for patients seeking facial rejuvenation without the downtime and cost of a traditional facelift.
The procedure takes 30-60 minutes under local anesthesia. Threads are inserted using thin needles, with immediate lifting visible. Results improve over 2-3 months as collagen builds around the threads, and last 12-18 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a thread lift painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is well-tolerated. You may feel some tugging and pressure during insertion. Post-procedure soreness, mild swelling, and bruising resolve within 3-7 days.
Can I combine a thread lift with other treatments?
Yes, thread lifts are often combined with Botox, fillers, or PRP therapy for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your practitioner may recommend a "liquid facelift" combining these non-surgical treatments.
How long does a thread lift last?
Thread lift results last 12-18 months. The PDO threads dissolve within 6-8 months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to provide lift and firmness. Many patients opt for maintenance treatments every 12-18 months.
Thread lift vs facelift: which should I choose?
Thread lifts are best for mild to moderate sagging and patients who want minimal downtime. Surgical facelifts provide more dramatic, longer-lasting results (7-10 years) for significant sagging. Thread lifts are sometimes called "lunchtime facelifts" due to their quick recovery.
How much does a thread lift cost in Turkey?
A thread lift in Turkey costs €800-€2,500 depending on the number of threads and areas treated. This compares to €2,000-€5,000 in the UK. Full face thread lifts are at the higher end, while targeted areas (jawline or brow) cost less.
What's usually included in a thread lift package in Turkey?
Typically the surgery, surgeon/facility fees, hospital stay where relevant, transfers, hotel for recovery and a coordinator. Flights are often excluded.
Why do thread lift packages vary so much in price?
The difference is usually surgeon experience, facility quality and aftercare — not just the hotel. Thread Lift commonly ranges €800 – €2,500.
What should I check isn't excluded?
Flights, medications, post-op garments, extra nights if you heal slowly, and crucially the plan for revision or complications.
Is the cheapest package the best value?
Not necessarily. Compare inclusions like-for-like; a slightly higher tier often buys more surgeon time and better aftercare where it matters.
