# Patient Resources

Considering plastic surgery involves more than choosing a procedure. These patient resources explain how to choose a [Specialist Plastic Surgeon](https://drturner.com.au/resources/choosing-your-surgeon/), understand the costs and risks involved, prepare for a consultation, and plan surgery at [accredited Sydney private hospitals](https://drturner.com.au/clinics/) with [Dr Scott J Turner, Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS)](https://drturner.com.au/dr-scott-turner-sydney-plastic-surgeon/).

Patients researching facelift surgery, facial surgery, breast surgery, body surgery or rhinoplasty, along with those travelling from interstate, can use this page as a starting point before booking a consultation. Every surgical pathway with Dr Turner begins with a GP referral and a minimum of two consultations, with a seven-day cooling-off period before any procedure is scheduled.
