# Male Face Surgery in Canberra, ACT

Facial surgery for men is technically distinct, and not as a matter of emphasis. Male skin is thicker and carries a richer blood supply. The lower face contains beard follicles that determine where incisions can go and where hair will sit afterwards. The brow is heavier and naturally lower, the retaining ligaments stronger, and fat accumulates in different places. A technique planned around female anatomy and applied unmodified produces predictable problems — scars in exposed positions, beard hair growing where it shouldn't, or a lifted appearance that reads as feminised.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) whose practice is concentrated on facial aesthetic surgery, including procedures planned specifically for male patients. He consults at the Campbell clinic in Canberra, with surgery performed at accredited private hospital facilities in Sydney and selected follow-up available locally.
