# Facelift Canberra

For Canberra patients researching facelift surgery, the first difficulty is not finding a surgeon. It is working out which operation you are actually researching. "Facelift" is an umbrella term covering several distinct procedures — deep plane facelift, SMAS facelift, short scar or mini facelift, vertical restore facelift, endoscopic ponytail facelift, revision facelift — and each addresses a different pattern of facial ageing, works at a different anatomical layer, carries a different recovery, and sits in a different cost range.

Facial ageing is not a single process either. Skin, fat compartments, the SMAS layer, the retaining ligaments and the neck each change in their own way, which is why no single technique suits every face and why every patient requires an individual surgical plan rather than a standard operation.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) whose practice is concentrated on facial aesthetic surgery. 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. This page is written as a complete facelift resource for ACT and southern NSW patients: what modern facelift surgery involves, how facial ageing works, how the techniques differ, how facelift compares with neck lift, brow lift and eyelid surgery, published cost ranges, recovery, risks, and how the Canberra-to-Sydney pathway works in practice.
