The editor’s perspective
The useful details behind a Sydney surgeon profile.

A good consultation brings the decision into focus: the clinician’s training, the proposed change, the trade-offs and the care that follows. This Sydney edition connects those questions with checkable professional information, published fees and practical tools you can take to an appointment.

A profile you can
check for yourself.

BSc · MBBS (Hons) · MS · FRACS

Dr Scott J Turner’s official biography lists medical and surgical postgraduate qualifications from the University of Sydney and fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His specialty also appears in the Delmar hospital-group directory.

His clinic describes a practice spanning facial and eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, breast surgery and selected body procedures. It lists Sydney private practice since 2013. The right operation, if any, depends on an individual clinical assessment.

02 / The Australian context

Make room for the decision.

Key stages in the Medical Board of Australia’s pathway for adult cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive care and nonsurgical procedures have different requirements.

01

Begin with a referral.

Arrange an independent medical referral, preferably from your usual GP. If that is not possible, another GP or specialist may refer you. The referrer must be independent of the operating doctor and must not provide cosmetic surgery or nonsurgical cosmetic procedures.

Referral guidance ↗
02

Meet and assess.

At least two consultations are required, with at least one in person with the operating doctor. You must not be asked to sign surgery consent forms at the first consultation. Discuss alternatives, risks, recovery and the written plan.

Consultation guidance ↗
03

Allow a cooling-off period.

After the two consultations and signed informed consent, allow at least seven days before surgery can be booked or a deposit paid. Use the interval to review the information and consider your choice.

Consent and timing ↗
04

Include wellbeing.

The operating doctor assesses suitability and underlying psychological concerns, including screening for body dysmorphic disorder with a validated tool. This assessment belongs in the clinical consultation.

Assessment guidance ↗

A useful distinction

Credentials, conversation, continuity.

Look up current registration, ask how the surgeon’s experience relates to your concern, and clarify who will support your recovery. Our guide to choosing a qualified plastic surgeon provides additional questions; Ahpra is the local registration reference.

03 / The procedure edit

Understand the options.

Use these prompts to organise a conversation. They describe procedure categories, not a personalised treatment plan.

01

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty changes nasal shape; some operations also address structural breathing concerns. A cosmetic concern and a functional problem need their own assessment.

Ask at consultationHow will the plan account for breathing, existing asymmetry and the limits of the proposed change?
ASPS: rhinoplasty ↗CPS rhinoplasty guide →
02

Eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty can address selected upper- or lower-eyelid concerns. The upper and lower lids require different assessments and may call for different approaches.

Ask at consultationWhat is causing my concern, and what effect could treatment have on eye comfort and lid function?
ASPS: eyelid surgery ↗Upper vs lower blepharoplasty →
03

Face & neck

Facelift surgery repositions selected facial tissues and may be combined with neck surgery. It cannot stop ageing, and it does not address every change in skin quality.

Ask at consultationWhich areas would change, which would remain unchanged, and where would the scars be?
Healthdirect: facelift ↗Anatomy and natural-looking results →
04

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation alters breast volume and shape. An implant decision includes longer-term follow-up and the possibility of further surgery, as well as the initial operation.

Ask at consultationWhat follow-up will I need, and what implant-related risks, future costs and alternatives should I understand?
Healthdirect: breast implants ↗Breast lift vs augmentation →
05

Breast lift

Mastopexy reshapes the breast by addressing excess skin and tissue support. A lift and an augmentation have different purposes; a lift does not itself promise increased volume.

Ask at consultationHow would a lift address my concern, and what changes in sensation, scarring or future shape should I discuss?
ASPS: breast lift ↗Compare lift and augmentation →
06

Abdominal contouring

Abdominoplasty addresses excess abdominal skin and, when appropriate, the abdominal wall. It is not a replacement for weight management and has a substantial recovery commitment.

Ask at consultationWhat would this operation address, and how do my health, previous surgery and future plans affect suitability?
ASPS: abdominoplasty ↗Prepare your surgeon consultation →

Surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, anaesthetic complications and unsatisfactory results; the relevant risks vary by operation and individual health. Ask the clinician to explain frequency, severity, prevention and management. Healthdirect: cosmetic surgery ↗

04 / Financial clarity

The published price picture.

Selected 2026 indicative fees from Dr Turner’s own published price guide. Australian dollars (AUD); checked 30 September 2026.

These are one practice’s published figures. “From” is a starting price, not a ceiling. An individual written quotation is needed after assessment.

Different treatment settings.

Published inclusionsThe practice describes surgery prices as including surgeon, hospital/theatre, specialist anaesthetist and routine follow-up, with implants and a standard garment for implant procedures. Cosmetic figures include 10% GST.

Separate or excludedThe A$450 consultation is separate and not credited against surgery. Prescription medicines, extra garments, complex revisions and treatment of unrelated conditions are excluded. Confirm your specific setting and inclusions directly.

Read the full clinic fee schedule ↗ · Prices may change. CPS does not quote, book or collect this practice’s treatment fees.

Make the quote comparable.

Ask for the exact operation, setting, expected follow-up and policy for additional treatment in writing. When comparing two proposals, differences in technique, care and exclusions matter as much as the headline amount. Keep travel and accommodation separate from treatment costs, and ask what happens if you need to remain locally for longer.

The worksheet below adds only amounts you enter. If you use a bundled surgical quote, enter it once and put zero in any components already included; otherwise you could count the same charge twice.

05 / The consultation notebook

Arrive with better questions.

Two simple planning tools for your Sydney consultation. Use them to organise a discussion and a written quote with your treating team.

Prepare your conversation

Consultation checklist

Tick a topic once you have a clear answer. Bring any unanswered questions to your clinician.

Questions to discuss with your treating team

A discussion aid, not a medical assessment. No answers or personal health details are collected.

Read the whole quote

Your AUD budget worksheet

Enter amounts from your own quote or estimates. Every field starts empty; this worksheet does not suggest prices.

Keep the quote in context

Confirm whether each amount includes GST. This tool does not add GST, estimate rebates or fill in missing costs. Enter a fee once; if a package already includes a category, avoid counting it twice.

Blank fields are unknown, not free. An entered subtotal is not a complete treatment quote. Ask what follow-up, revisions or unexpected care may cost.

Use non-negative amounts up to AUD 1,000,000 per field, with no more than two decimal places. Figures and ticks remain only in this open page; nothing is sent or saved by these tools.

06 / The national perspective

Australia, in context.

ISAPS estimates for procedures performed in Australia in 2025. These are national figures, not Sydney-specific statistics.

07 / Beyond the appointment

Plan the care around it.

Turn broad promises into clear arrangements. Keep copies of the information provided by the treating team.

The consultation

Bring your priorities.

Write down what bothers you, what you want to preserve and what a worthwhile change would mean to you. Bring your medical history, medicines, allergies and details of previous procedures for discussion with the clinician. Do not alter prescribed medicines without the relevant prescriber’s advice.

If the explanation is difficult to follow, ask for plain language or a second discussion. You should be able to describe the proposed plan and its trade-offs in your own words before deciding.

The recovery plan

Separate the milestones.

Ask about desk work, driving, lifting, exercise, social activities and travel individually. Those activities need not resume together. Find out who should accompany you, whether someone should remain with you and what help you may need at home.

Request the follow-up schedule, written care instructions and an after-hours contact. Ask what symptoms require urgent assessment and where to seek it. A magazine contact form cannot assess a postoperative concern.

Visiting Sydney

Confirm every location.

Consulting rooms, the operating hospital and a follow-up appointment may have different addresses. Confirm each before arranging transport or accommodation. Ask the practice how long to stay close to the treating team and when it is appropriate to travel.

If you live elsewhere, discuss how follow-up will continue after you return home, how records can be shared and how unexpected extra care would be arranged and charged.

08 / Reader questions

Before you
decide.

Practical answers, with original sources available for checking.

Who is featured in this Sydney edition?

Dr Scott J Turner, a specialist plastic surgeon whose specialty is listed by RACS. His published clinic details and professional profile form the basis of this feature. Inclusion is not a comparative ranking or a claim that he treats named celebrities.

How can I check current registration?

Search the Ahpra public register using the doctor’s name or published registration number. Review the registration type, specialty and any conditions. A clinic biography or society listing does not replace the current regulatory record.

Are these fees a personalised quotation?

No. The table attributes indicative published prices to the practice and identifies their scope. Your own written quote should specify your operation, treatment setting, taxes, included care and possible additional charges.

Can I decide at the first consultation?

The Australian cosmetic-surgery pathway allows time for assessment and reflection. See the referral, consultation and cooling-off overview, and ask the practice how these requirements apply to your care.

Does a lower-impact procedure mean lower risk?

Less invasive procedures have their own indications and risks. Ask what an option can achieve, what it leaves unchanged, the likelihood of needing further treatment and whether no treatment is a reasonable choice. A procedure name cannot establish safety for an individual.

What do the procedure charts represent?

They show ISAPS national estimates for Australia in 2025. They are not Sydney totals, patient counts or the featured practice’s case numbers. Read the methodology and geographic scope alongside the bars.

Can I book treatment through CPS?

Clinical enquiries go directly to the practice using the contact details below. The CPS form handles magazine enquiries, corrections and requests for editorial consideration; it does not book treatment or confirm a medical appointment.

09 / The address book

Contact the practice.

Confirm the room location with the practice. An office address does not establish where a procedure will take place.

Editorial standards

The evidence behind the edition.

Published by Celebrity Plastic Surgeons Magazine, MedNova Publications. We distinguish practitioner-supplied details, independent professional listings, regulatory guidance and survey estimates.

How facts are presented

Practitioner details link to the official profile and independent directories. The live Ahpra record was not independently retrieved for this edition; the reader is directed to check it. Prices retain the source’s scope, and national statistics remain labelled as national.

The purpose of the feature

This source-based guide supports questions and verification. It is not a CPS clinic visit, a clinical examination, a result guarantee or an endorsement by the featured surgeon. It does not assert a commercial relationship with the practice.
