Dr Scott J Turner Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney
Facial Plastic Surgery, including Deep Plane Facelift
Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) in Sydney, consulting at Bondi Junction in the Eastern Suburbs and on the Northern Beaches. His practice centres on facial plastic surgery, including facelift, neck lift and eyelid surgery, alongside cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty and breast surgery. Of the facelift techniques he offers, deep plane facelift is the one he performs most often.
Surgical planning is based on individual anatomy, clinical assessment and each patient’s goals, taking into account the degree of facial ageing, skin quality, facial structure and, for nasal surgery, any breathing symptoms. Suitability for any procedure is assessed at consultation, where risks, recovery and the limits of what surgery can achieve are discussed.

Facial Plastic Surgery in Sydney
Facial surgery is the main focus of Dr Turner’s practice. The facelift technique is chosen at consultation, based on each patient’s anatomy, rather than decided in advance. A deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS layer, releasing the retaining ligaments so that the deeper tissues of the midface, jawline and neck can be repositioned together. It may be considered for suitable patients with midface descent, jowling and neck laxity.
Facelift surgery can be combined with brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, lip lift and facial fat grafting in the same operation. A facelift involves an overnight hospital stay with early post-operative reviews, and each procedure page covers recovery, risks and suitability.
