Clarity. Compassion. Confidence.
At Turkle & Associates, we want you to feel just as confident going into your treatment or cosmetic surgery in Indianapolis as you do in your results. Our unwavering commitment to transparency and compassion empowers you to make informed decisions about your care.
Book Your Initial Visit
First, you’ll complete a phone intake with our patient coordinator to develop your patient profile and schedule your in-person consultation. Then you’ll complete online paperwork, which our experts use to build your chart and curate your personalized plan.
In-Person Consultation
Your surgeon will review your medical history, discuss your concerns and expectations, and perform an examination. If your surgery involves implants or rhinoplasty, we’ll utilize Vectra 3D Imaging to help you visualize possible outcomes and select the appropriate technology.
Schedule Your Surgery
We’ll help you schedule your cosmetic surgery in Indianapolis, as well as post-op appointments, during times that work best for your schedule and lifestyle. To ensure you feel confident going into surgery, we provide detailed information and instructions regarding what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
The Day of Surgery
Upon arrival at the surgery center, you will have the chance to meet the surgery center staff and the anesthesiologist. Your surgeon will answer any lingering questions you have, providing the expert guidance and compassionate support you need to feel confident going into surgery.
Immediately After Surgery
After your surgery is complete, we’ll closely monitor you until your surgeon deems it is safe to release you to your appointed driver and/or caregiver to take you home. Please note that some procedures may require an overnight stay, which we will discuss beforehand as needed.
Aftercare & Recovery
Follow your doctor’s post-surgery care recommendations closely to ensure the quickest and most comfortable recovery possible. We’ll see you for a series of post-op appointments at our office to verify that you are healing correctly and you are on your way to your goal results!
Schedule Your First Visit
Your journey starts by scheduling your first appointment, which you can do over the phone. Depending on your desired treatment, our team will inform you if a consultation is necessary before your initial session. If you have any questions before your consultation, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Before Your Appointment
Once scheduled, you’ll complete a phone intake with a patient coordinator to create your patient profile and find a convenient time for your in-person consultation. You’ll then be directed to complete online paperwork, which we use to build your medical chart and tailor your treatments.
In-Person Consultation
If a consultation is deemed necessary before treatment, you’ll meet with a licensed medical aesthetician in our office. Here, we’ll discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and assess your skin. This allows us to recommend the most suitable treatments and skincare products for your needs before scheduling your first treatment.
Personalized Treatment
Our highly trained medical aestheticians will perform your treatment or procedure using proven, personalized techniques. We will thoroughly explain the recovery process required for your specific treatment and provide step-by-step instructions to maximize its benefits.
Ongoing Support
We continue to monitor your progress through regular appointments to ensure your results align with your immediate and long-term aspirations. It’s always best to book your follow-up and maintenance visits in advance, so you can stay on schedule with your plan and optimize your long-term outcomes.

Meet Your Surgeons
Our plastic surgeons, Dr. Turkle and Dr. Specht, have provided transformative care for over 30 years, successfully facilitating thousands of functional and cosmetic enhancements to improve patients’ quality of life.
For our surgeons, this depth and breadth of expertise began with rigorous clinical education and training. Below, we dive deeper into the formative years that continue to shape our surgeons’ approach to reconstructive and cosmetic surgery in Indianapolis.
Dr. Janet K. Turkle, MD
Dr. Janet Turkle, the founder of our practice, began her clinical career at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, where she also completed a residency in general surgery. From there, she finished her training in plastic surgery at Indiana University Medical Center.
Upon graduation, Dr. Turkle earned dual board certification from the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The stringent expectations associated with board certification require ongoing education and testing—a commitment that represents Dr. Turkle’s ability to uphold the highest possible standards in her field.
Since opening Turkle & Associates, Dr. Turkle continues to practice unwavering compassion, attention to detail, and collaboration with each patient. As a leading provider of cosmetic surgery in Indianapolis, Dr. Turkle has earned recognition as a Top Doc among her peers and patients.
These accolades, along with her patients’ satisfaction, reflect Dr. Turkle’s dedication to exceptional aesthetic care.
Dr. Brandon C. Specht, DO
