Dr. Jon Turk is an expert at providing natural and beautiful facial plastic surgery results. His aesthetic talent and exceptional skill make him a top choice for eyelid surgery, facelift, rhinoplasty, and more in the Long Island and Manhattan areas.

Facial Liposculpture

This facial plastic surgery procedure entails a minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation that removes fat from the face and neck, tightens the neck muscles and re-drapes the skin for a more slender and youthful look.

The procedure is performed through a small incision under the chin, takes less than an hour and allows a rapid return to everyday activities.

Facial liposculpture is an excellent alternative for patients seeking improvement without the invasiveness and substantial recovery period associated with full facelift, necklift, or eyelid surgery.

Rhinoplasty

Dr. Jon Turk, Manhattan and Long Island rhinoplasty expert, understands that today's rhinoplasty patients demand a natural looking nose without pinching or overdone profiles. A variety of procedures improving the appearance of the nose can be done without producing any visible scar.

Rhinoplasty may include reducing the overall size of the nose, smoothing down uneven areas, building up a low bridge and narrowing and refining the tip. Dr. Turk has treated many satisfied rhinoplasty patients.

In addition nasal obstruction that causes breathing difficulty can also be remedied with rhinoplasty right from the comfort of our Long Island and Manhattan offices.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is a procedure offered at our Long Island and Manhattan practices that removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids, eliminating bags, pouches and drooping eyelids to reveal a more open, less tired look for the lower lids.

As people age, the skin surrounding the eyelid stretches while the muscles weaken. Fat accumulates in the area around the eye, leading many to explore eyelid surgery as a treatment to eradicate puffy eyes. Eyelid surgery, technically termed blepharoplasty, can also add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes. Dr. Turk has extensive experience in eyelid surgery.

During eyelid surgery at our Manhattan and Long Island practices, excess fat bags can often be removed from the inside of the eyelid, which eliminates any visible scar. Eyelid surgery is often combined with laser resurfacing to reduce wrinkling and pigmentation. Patients undergoing eyelid surgery find it gives their face a fresh and youthful appearance.

Eyelid surgery is a procedure that usually takes one to three hours. Most patients are able to read and watch TV two to three days after the eyelid surgery, and generally take about a week to 10 days off of work.

Browlift

Unlike traditional forehead lifts, which involve an incision across the forehead, the endoscopic technique is a minimally invasive method of lifting the brows.

Through four small incisions behind the hairline, the brow area can be elevated and the frown lines improved. This is often combined with upper and lower eyelid surgery as well as laser resurfacing, significantly improving the patient's appearance without a full facelift.

Facelift

Dr. Jon Turk also offers facelift at his Manhattan and Long Island offices. The facelift procedure involves removal of excess skin and fat with tightening of underlying facial tissues that are drooping or sagging to produce a more youthful contour of the face and neck.

As people age, the effects can be seen in the face. Creases appear in the face, the jaw goes slack and folds and fat form around the neck. A facelift performed at our Long Island and Manhattan facilities can remove any extra fat, tighten the muscles and redrape the skin. A facelift will help to restore your appearance to a younger and healthier look.

The facelift procedure usually takes several hours to perform. Most facelift patients are up and about in a day or two, but should plan on taking it easy for about a week following the facelift procedure. Stitches are generally removed about five days after the facelift was performed in Dr. Turk's Manhattan or Long Island facility.

A facelift in our Manhattan or Long Island facilities, can be performed on an outpatient basis under monitored intravenous sedation. For optimum results, other procedures such as eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty are often performed in conjunction with facelift surgery.

Facial Implants

Many new types of implants are available to improve facial contours and correct facial bone deficiencies. Often, patients will have implants inserted during the facelift procedure in order to help them achieve these goals.

The chin and jaw line can be enhanced with facial implants, the lips can be made fuller, and facial creases can be filled in. And in place of traditional rhinoplasty, implants and grafts can correct nasal deformities.

Contour Thread Lift

The contour thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that provides excellent results in properly selected patients. "Barbed" sutures, placed through tiny incisions, are utilized to lift and suspend drooping areas of the midface, jawline and neck. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the office setting, takes about one hour to perform and promises half the downtime of traditional lifts. Dr. Turk is a certified regional expert in this new and exciting procedure.
