    The short scar facelift and the full facelift are two cosmetic facial procedures offered by Dr Turner, each designed to address slightly different facial ageing concerns. The short scar facelift focuses on only on the mid and lower third of the face, with minimal correction below the jawline. This procedure uses a shorter incisions, resulting in less visible scarring and a quicker recovery time. It is ideal for younger individuals with early signs of ageing.

    In contrast, a full facelift addresses not only the mid and lower face but corrects ageing changes in the neck region for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. It addresses advanced signs of aging such as deep wrinkles, significant sagging, pronounced jowls, and loose neck skin. This procedure involves longer incisions extending from the temples, around the ears, and possibly into the posterior scalp, enabling extensive lifting and repositioning of facial tissues.
