Plastic Surgery Consultations in Sydney

Consultations for all procedures below are available at both the Bondi Junction and Manly clinics. Each links to a dedicated page with the detail for that procedure.

Facelift and Neck Lift

Dr Turner offers a range of facelift techniques selected to your anatomy and goals, including deep plane facelift, Vertical Restore facelift, SMAS facelift, short scar facelift and ponytail facelift. Neck and jawline concerns are addressed with a neck lift, deep neck lift or neck liposuction.

Eyelid Surgery and Brow Lift

Upper and lower blepharoplasty address excess eyelid skin and under-eye changes, and a brow lift repositions a descended brow line. These are often combined where the concerns overlap.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty may address the dorsal profile, tip, width or symmetry, with revision rhinoplasty for surgery after a previous procedure, and functional rhinoplasty where breathing or a deviated septum is involved.

Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction and breast implant revision. Medicare and private health rebates may apply for breast reduction in qualifying cases.

Body Surgery

Abdominoplasty, post-pregnancy surgery and labiaplasty, with additional body contouring by consultation.

Facelift Consultations in Sydney

Facial surgery is a major focus of Dr Turner’s practice, and facelift consultations are available at both the Bondi Junction and Manly clinics. There is no single best facelift; the right approach depends on your anatomy, skin quality, the degree of change and your goals. Depending on clinical assessment, discussion may include a deep plane facelift, SMAS facelift, short scar facelift, ponytail facelift, a neck lift, or a combined face and neck approach.

Dr Scott J Turner, Specialist Plastic Surgeon Sydney

Dr Scott J Turner completed his Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 2013, following a Master of Surgery in Plastic Surgery at the University of Sydney. His FRACS training involved rotations across multiple leading Australian plastic surgery units, with exposure to a broad range of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures before he moved to private cosmetic surgery practice.

He is an active member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), and maintains ongoing professional development through national and international surgical conferences. His surgical focus is facial surgery, particularly facelift techniques, alongside rhinoplasty and breast surgery. His approach in consultation is direct and practical: he explains what surgery can realistically address, what it cannot, and what the risks and recovery involve.

Accredited Private Hospitals in Sydney

All surgery is performed at accredited private hospitals in Sydney, with specialist anaesthetists and hospital-based perioperative nursing teams. Dr Turner does not operate in office-based facilities. Current Sydney surgical facilities include:

  • Bondi Junction Private Hospital, Level 1, 21 Spring Street, Bondi Junction NSW 2022, serving Eastern Suburbs patients
  • East Sydney Private Hospital, Woolloomooloo, an additional Eastern Suburbs facility
  • Delmar Private Hospital, 58 Quirk Street, Dee Why NSW 2099, serving Northern Beaches patients

The hospital used depends on the procedure, your medical history and theatre availability, and is confirmed at consultation. For more on surgical safety, see the risks and complications page. Patients travelling from interstate or overseas can read the travelling to Sydney for surgery pathway.

Who May Be Suitable for Plastic Surgery

A thorough assessment is always required before any decision. Generally, patients who tend to be well-suited are those who:

  • Are in good general health. Conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and clotting disorders require careful assessment and may affect eligibility or timing.
  • Have realistic expectations. Surgery may address specific structural concerns, but outcomes vary between individuals based on anatomy, healing, skin quality, age and other factors.
  • Are at a stable weight, particularly for body contouring procedures.
  • Are non-smokers, or willing to stop well in advance, as smoking significantly increases surgical risk and impairs wound healing.

A consultation is the only way to assess whether surgery is appropriate for your circumstances. Dr Turner will not recommend surgery unless, in his clinical assessment, it is a reasonable option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Dr Turner consult in Sydney?

Dr Turner consults at two Sydney clinics: Bondi Junction in the Eastern Suburbs, at 39 Grosvenor Street, and Manly on the Northern Beaches, at Suite 504, Level 5, 39 East Esplanade. Both offer the same standard of consultation and care. All surgery is performed at accredited private hospitals in Sydney.

Which Sydney clinic should I choose, Bondi Junction or Manly?

Choose the location most convenient to you. Bondi Junction suits patients from the Eastern Suburbs, the Sydney CBD and the inner east, with surgery at Bondi Junction Private Hospital or East Sydney Private Hospital. Manly suits patients from the Northern Beaches and lower North Shore, with surgery commonly at Delmar Private Hospital in Dee Why. The two clinics operate at the same standard, and you can request whichever is easier to reach.

What is the difference between a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon?

In Australia, the title “Specialist Plastic Surgeon” is a protected term and can only be used by surgeons who have completed the full FRACS training program in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a process that typically takes ten or more years, including medical degree, internship, residency and specialist training. “Cosmetic surgeon” is not a protected title, meaning it can be used by doctors from a range of backgrounds, including those with no formal surgical fellowship training. When researching plastic surgery in Sydney, it is worth asking any surgeon you consult what their specific training pathway was.

How many consultations are required before surgery?

A minimum of two consultations is required before any cosmetic surgery can proceed, with at least one in person, under AHPRA’s cosmetic surgery guidelines. A GP referral is required before the first consultation, a mandatory seven-day cooling-off period applies before surgery, and a psychological assessment is undertaken where clinically indicated.

Where is surgery performed in Sydney?

All surgery is performed at accredited private hospitals in Sydney, not in office-based rooms. These include Bondi Junction Private Hospital and East Sydney Private Hospital for Eastern Suburbs patients, and Delmar Private Hospital in Dee Why for Northern Beaches patients. The hospital used depends on the procedure, your medical history and theatre availability, and is confirmed at consultation.

Can I have a facelift consultation in Sydney?

Yes. Facelift surgery is a major focus of Dr Turner’s practice, and facelift consultations are available at both the Bondi Junction and Manly clinics. Depending on your anatomy and goals, discussion may include a deep plane facelift, SMAS facelift, short scar facelift, ponytail facelift or a combined face and neck lift. Suitability is assessed in person.

What are the risks of plastic surgery?

All surgery carries risk. General surgical risks include bleeding, infection, reaction to anaesthesia, poor wound healing and scarring, and procedure-specific risks vary. Outcomes are not guaranteed and depend on individual factors including anatomy, healing and lifestyle. Dr Turner discusses the risks relevant to your procedure in full at consultation, and you can read more on the risks and complications page.

Are consultations available via telehealth?

An initial telehealth consultation may be possible for interstate or international patients assessing whether to travel to Sydney. Telehealth cannot replace the in-person consultation required before surgery, as a physical examination is a clinical necessity and AHPRA requires at least one in-person consultation. Contact the practice to discuss whether a telehealth first step suits your situation.
