Patient Story
Tina’s Story
She flew from Miami to Carmel for the procedure that changed everything — just in time for her daughter’s wedding
Watch Tina’s Interview
She searched the entire country for the right surgeon — and flew from Miami to find him.
When Tina learned her daughter was getting married, she decided it was time. Living in Miami, Florida, she had no shortage of local options — but after researching deep plane facelift surgeons nationwide, she chose to travel to Carmel, Indiana for Dr. Sturgill’s exceptional results and his genuine, unhurried approach to patient care.
Three months after Dr. Sturgill’s Extended Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift, Tina didn’t just look refreshed — she felt like the best version of herself, just in time to celebrate as mother of the bride.
Tina is one of many patients who travel from out of state for Dr. Sturgill’s technique. His practice welcomes patients from across the country and provides a seamless experience for those traveling to Carmel for their procedure.

A consultation with Dr. Sturgill is an educational conversation, not a sales pitch. He performs a thorough facial analysis, discusses your goals and concerns, explains which procedures would — and wouldn’t — address them, and uses advanced imaging to show you what to realistically expect. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your options, the surgical plan, recovery timeline, and cost. The consultation fee is $195 and is applied toward your surgical cost if you decide to move forward. Consultations are available in person or virtually for out-of-town patients.

Yes. Dr. Sturgill’s entire philosophy is built around what he calls “The Unoperated Look” — results that are visible to you but invisible to the world. You don’t want to look “different.” You want to look like you — just restored. The surgical techniques he employs, from deep plane facelifts to preservation rhinoplasty, are specifically chosen because they produce natural results, not operated ones. During consultation, advanced imaging technology shows you a simulation of expected outcomes so you can see what that means for your face before making any decisions. View Before & After Photos →
