A Message from Dr. David M Turner:

"I apply the latest techniques available and the experience gained in 22 years of practice in plastic surgery in fitting an operation to the patient’s specific desires and needs. I dedicate a significant portion of my practice to breast surgery.

I find tremendous fulfillment in enhancing someone's breasts or changing the shape of someone's nose or abdomen to help improve their self-image and to make them pleased or even excited when they see themselves in the mirror. Cosmetic surgery helps many people feel better about themselves, more self-confident, and more comfortable around others. Obviously, there are deformities that we cannot correct, and there are individuals whose problems and emotional issues lie beyond the scope of plastic surgery. However, for many individuals for many years, we have made and continue to make a big difference in the person who looks back at you when you look in the mirror."

Testi "Today makes the 5th anniversary of my breast cancer surgery. I wanted you to know how much I have appreciated you and your work. When I buy new bras at Petticoat Fair, the women who help me are very complimentary of my/ your breasts. They have seen others that are hardened and out of shape and think that mine were very nicely done. (Of course).

Once thing you probably now offer as an alternative to women which you and I discussed 5 years ago is the silicone nipple. They come in many shapes and sizes and have been a wonderful addition for me. I feel so "dressed up” now, especially in the summer time. I feel every proud of my body and talk freely about my experience. Most people are surprised and had no idea.

You came highly recommended to me and I continue to offer your name to other women who are in the need of your service. I hope you know what a wonderful contribution you are making to women in Austin. Thank you very much for studying to become a plastic surgeon and for treating me so compassionately throughout out time together. I will never forget you."

Have a happy holiday- "many blessings” on you and the ones you love."

Qualifications

I am Certified by the American Board of plastic surgery. Following my training at the Medical College of Virginia at Richmond, I have been practicing in Austin since 1987.

I served as the Chief of Plastic Surgery in 1994, 1998 and 1999 for Seton Medical Center and I operate at several outpatient surgical facilities conveniently located within Austin. I was the President of the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons for 2005-2006.

My practice attends to the needs of patients of all ages. I perform a wide variety of cosmetic procedures involving the face, nose, breasts, and abdomen using the most current techniques available. Reconstructive surgery also constitutes a significant portion of my practice, assuring many of my patients a return to a normal lifestyle following injuries or disease processes.
