Training and board certification
The site does not print a medical school, residency, fellowship or board-certification statement for Dr. Turer. His individual bio page link is broken on every page checked (the "Dr. David Turer" nav link and his photo both use an empty href=""), and no bio URL for him appears in the site's sitemap.xml (source).
- Co-hosts the practice's "Unfiltered: A Plastic Surgery Podcast" with Dr. Armando Davila, described on the site as covering aesthetic medicine topics (source).
- The practice's copyright line reads "2026 Armando Davila, MD | Pittsburgh Center for Plastic Surgery," identifying Dr. Davila, not Dr. Turer, as the named practice owner (same page).
Eyelid surgery work
Procedure text on the practice's page describes the practice's service and names both Dr. Davila and Dr. Turer jointly, not Dr. Turer individually.
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid; excess skin, fat and sometimes muscle removed or repositioned; underlying structures may be tightened (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty, transconjunctival approach. Incision inside the lower eyelid, no visible external scar; fat pads removed or redistributed; often used for younger patients with good skin tone and prominent fat pads (same page).
- Lower blepharoplasty, subciliary (skin incision) approach. Incision just beneath the lash line; fat repositioned and excess skin trimmed; used for redundant or crepey under-eye skin, with a longer recovery and a small risk of lid malposition (same page).
- Procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, with the practice's Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol (same page).
Other procedures
Facelift, lipoaugmentation, necklift, NeckTite, rhinoplasty, brow lift; breast augmentation and related procedures; liposuction and body contouring; male procedures (gynecomastia surgery, male body lift); laser and non-surgical skin, injectable and body-contouring treatments (pittsburghplasticsurgery.com, site navigation).
Insurance and cost
The practice's insurance page states upper blepharoplasty may be covered by insurance if clinical documentation, visual field testing and an eye-care professional's evaluation show upper-lid drooping obstructs vision; brow lifts (for brow ptosis, performed with or instead of blepharoplasty) are described as "most often not covered by insurance" (source). No eyelid-surgery prices are published on the pages checked.
Recovery
- Back to work. Most patients return to light activities within a week after blepharoplasty (source).
- Swelling. Swelling and bruising improve significantly by 10 to 14 days (same page).
- Final result. Final results continue to refine over several weeks (same page).
