# Facelift

Facelift surgery in Sydney is planned around individual facial anatomy: the degree of jowling, midface descent, neck laxity and recovery goals. A facelift is not a single operation. The right approach for a 45-year-old with early jowling differs from the right approach for someone in their late 60s with significant midface descent and neck involvement. At consultation, Dr Turner assesses the layers of the face contributing most to visible changes (skin, fat pads, SMAS, deep plane fascia, retaining ligaments and platysma) and recommends the technique that addresses those specific findings.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS). Consultations are available in Bondi Junction and Manly, with surgery performed at Bondi Junction Private Hospital and Delmar Private Hospital, Dee Why. Seven techniques are offered: deep plane, SMAS, short scar, lower, ponytail, Vertical Restore and revision facelift. The technique is matched to the patient at consultation rather than applying a single approach to everyone.
