# Blepharoplasty Canberra

Blepharoplasty is surgery on a functional structure, not just a cosmetic one. The eyelids protect the eye, distribute tears across its surface and close it completely thousands of times a day. That is why eyelid surgery is planned conservatively, why pre-existing dry eye and eyelid support are assessed before anything else, and why removing too much skin is the one error that cannot be undone.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) whose practice is concentrated on facial aesthetic surgery, including upper and lower eyelid procedures. He consults with Canberra patients at the Campbell clinic, with surgery performed at accredited private hospital facilities in Sydney and selected follow-up available locally. Where upper eyelid heaviness is caused by brow descent rather than eyelid skin, the [Brow Lift Canberra](https://drturner.com.au/locations/canberra/brow-lift/) page covers that operation.
