Our Facial Procedures
Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery is one of the most effective procedures to address signs of facial ageing. Dr Turner provides modern facelift techniques to address structural changes to the face, without creating an “overdone” look. This procedure addresses:
- 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
Neck lift (platysmaplasty) surgery is a surgical procedure that addresses aging changes in the neck area by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying platysmal muscles. It helps correct:
- 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
Surgery to the eyelid and brow area is performed to address age-related changes in the eye area. Dr Turner provides surgical options for patients considering these procedures. This may include:
- 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 grafting may help address volume loss in certain facial areas. Using fat harvested from your own body, this procedure aims to add volume to areas such as:
- 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 and long-lasting alternative to cosmetic injectables.

Buccal Fat Pad Removal
Buccal fat pad removal is a procedure that involves removing fat deposits from the cheek area. The intended outcome is to alter lower facial contours and slim the face. Incisions are typically placed inside the mouth and is often combined with chin or jawline surgery for comprehensive contouring.

Lip Lift
A lip lift reduces the distance between the nose and upper lip, restoring a shorter, more proportional look. Benefits include:
- 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
