Our Facial Procedures

Facelift Surgery

Dr Turner offers advanced facelift techniques that deliver natural-looking rejuvenation by addressing sagging skin, deep facial creases, and lost volume to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance without the telltale signs of surgery.
The primary objective of a Facelift (Rhytidectomy) procedure is to rejuvenate the face comprehensively. These surgeries address not just the surface appearance but the underlying structural changes associated with ageing, including:

• Sagging skin in the midface and jawline
• Deep creases below the lower eyelids and between the nose and mouth
• Loss of muscle tone in the lower face, creating jowls
• Fatty deposits under the chin and jawline

Neck Lift Surgery

A Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) is designed to address signs of ageing in the neck and jawline area. This procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of:

• Excess skin and fat in the neck area
• Muscle banding in the neck, which creates abnormal contours
• Jowl lines along the jawline
• Double chin or “turkey neck” appearance

Dr Turner offers both standard neck lifts and deep neck lifts, depending on your specific needs and the degree of correction required.

Eyelid and Brow Surgery

Rejuvenation of the eye area can create a significant impact on your overall facial appearance. Dr Turner specialises in:

• Upper Blepharoplasty – Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to reduce hooding and create a more alert, refreshed appearance
• Lower Blepharoplasty – Addresses under-eye bags, excess skin, and hollows to restore a rested, youthful look
• Brow Lift – Elevates drooping eyebrows and reduces forehead wrinkles for a more youthful upper face

Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one area of your body and injecting it into specific areas of the face to restore volume. This procedure effectively addresses:

• Age-related volume loss in the cheeks
• Hollow areas under the eyes
• Deep nasolabial folds
• Loss of definition in the jawline and chin
• Thin or hollow lips

Using your own fat provides a natural-looking and long-lasting alternative to temporary fillers.

Buccal Fat Pad Removal

Buccal Fat Pad Removal is a specialized facial contouring procedure designed to address excessive fullness in the lower cheeks. The procedure involves selective removal of a portion of the buccal fat pad, a naturally occurring pad of fat situated deep within the cheek hollows, between the cheekbones and the jaw bones.
The primary goal is to create a slimmer, more sculpted lower face, thereby enhancing the definition of the cheekbones and jawline. Importantly, the incisions for buccal fat removal are made discreetly on the inside of the mouth, meaning there are no visible external scars.
This procedure can be a powerful tool, sometimes used in combination with jawline or chin procedures, for comprehensive facial sculpting.

Lip Lift

A Lip Lift is a subtle yet impactful procedure designed to address age-related changes in the upper lip area. With time, the philtrum – the vertical distance between the base of the nose and the border of the upper lip – can elongate. A Lip Lift surgically shortens this distance, which has several aesthetic benefits:

• Increased visibility of upper teeth when the lips are slightly parted or smiling (known as ‘tooth show’)
• Creation of a fuller and more defined upper lip by gently everting the lip border
• Improved overall facial balance and harmony
• Reduction in the appearance of an elongated upper lip that often occurs with ageing

This procedure is often performed in conjunction with facelift surgery to address ageing changes around the mouth comprehensively.
