Facial Rejuvenation Sydney NSW

Facial Rejuvenation Sydney by Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Turner

Facial rejuvenation surgery has undergone dramatic advancements over the past decade and now encompasses a wide spectrum of treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical, which work together to reverse the signs of ageing and give results that look natural and beautiful rather than change your appearance or give you a ‘had work done’ look.

Different Types of Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

As a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and expert in Facial Cosmetic Surgery, Dr Scott Turner offers a wide variety of facial enhancement and facelift rejuvenation treatments including

Facial Rejuvenation

Wrinkles, fine lines, eye bags, sagging jowls, and other visible signs of aging are inevitable. Other factors such as prolonged sun exposure, genetics, medications, smoking, and repeated facial expressions can also play a part in the development of your skin and facial imperfections. If you want to achieve smoother, radiant, and younger-looking skin on your face, facial rejuvenation might be right for you.

Dr Turner’s approach is to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for you that will best address your desires from quick non-surgical procedures with minimal downtime to surgical procedures that can provide dramatic improvements and proven longevity.

The aim of facial enhancement is to revitalise, refine and beautify, not to exaggerate your face. This requires a thorough understanding of facial harmony and aesthetic proportions to achieve the right balance of treatment/s, both surgical and non-surgical. If wrong decisions are made and inappropriate procedures are undertaken then facial harmony can be destroyed creating unnatural results.

What is Facial Surgery?

This is a group of surgical procedures that provides facial rejuvenation by removing excess skin or fat and by tightening the skin on your face, eyes, nose, forehead, neck, jaw, and lip area.

  • You are not taking any medications that can significantly increase your risk of bleeding.
  • You are willing to adhere to pre and post-surgical instructions.
  • You don’t have a bleeding or clotting disorder.

Undergoing a facial contouring procedure can give you the following benefits:

  • Improved outlook on life
  • Improved visual function
  • Smoother, radiant, rejuvenated facial skin

The following are the most common facial plastic surgery procedures:

  • Eyelid surgery: Removes folds and bags under your eyes by removing excess skin and fat.
  • Facelift: Tightens the facial skin by removing excess skin and tissue and using sutures to reshape your face.
  • Neck lift: Removes loose skin and fatty deposits on your neck to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.

Recovery after Facial Surgery

Your recovery time will greatly depend on the type and extent of your face contouring procedure as well as your desired cosmetic goals. It is important to keep in mind that the recovery period may vary from patient to patient. In general, you normally experience pain and soreness on your face following your procedure. Any discomfort that you may feel can be managed by mild pain relievers and anti-inflammatories. If you are stable, your surgeon will allow you to go home and will provide you with instructions regarding how to care for your surgical wounds, medications to take at home, and when to return for follow-up. You will also be advised to refrain from strenuous activities to prevent tension on your suture lines.
