Private consultation with an AHPRA-registered nurse, 23+ years experience, 11,500+ procedures
A facial volume and contouring consultation at our Surrey Hills clinic is a private appointment with our AHPRA-registered nurse with over 23 years of clinical experience. As the face ages, it naturally loses volume in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes, and the structural support that keeps facial features lifted and defined begins to change. A consultation is the first step in assessing what is happening in your specific anatomy and what options are available to address it.
During your consultation, your practitioner will conduct a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy from multiple angles, discuss the concerns you would like to address, and outline the treatment options available to you. In Australia, injectable cosmetic treatments for facial volume involve prescription-only medicines, and a thorough clinical consultation is required before any treatment proceeds. All treatment options, including potential side effects, contraindications, and realistic expectations, are discussed in full. No treatment is performed without your informed consent.
Results may vary between individuals. The goal of the consultation is to give you an honest understanding of what is achievable for your anatomy, so that any decision you make is a fully informed one.
A facial volume and contouring consultation can cover a wide range of concerns related to facial shape, structure, and the appearance of volume loss. Your practitioner will assess your specific anatomy and outline which concerns are appropriate to address and what treatment options are available. Concerns that can be discussed include:
Under-eye hollowing: The groove or hollow that forms under the eyes between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek, which can create a shadowed or tired appearance. Your practitioner will assess the anatomy of this area, including the relationship with the cheek, and discuss the options available to address it.
Cheek volume loss: A reduction in mid-face fullness that can cause the face to appear flatter, older, or more drawn. Your practitioner will assess the degree of volume change and discuss whether treatment to the cheek area, or a different area, is most appropriate for your anatomy and concerns.
Jawline definition: Concerns about a soft or undefined jawline, early jowling, or a loss of sharpness in the jaw-to-neck transition. Your practitioner will assess your jaw anatomy from multiple angles and discuss the options available to address your specific concerns.
Chin projection and balance: Concerns about chin projection, chin length, or the balance between the chin, lips, and nose. Your practitioner will assess your profile and frontal view and discuss what changes are achievable and appropriate for your facial proportions.
Nasolabial folds (smile lines): The lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Your practitioner will assess the nature and depth of these folds and discuss whether treating this area directly, or addressing adjacent volume loss, is most appropriate for your anatomy.
Marionette lines: The lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth. Your practitioner will assess whether treatment is appropriate and discuss what outcomes are achievable.
Your first appointment begins with a review of your medical history, current medications, and any prior cosmetic treatments to the face. Your practitioner will then conduct a detailed assessment of your facial anatomy and discuss your concerns and goals. She will outline the treatment options available, the realistic outcomes you can expect, the potential side effects and contraindications, and the aftercare requirements. You will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout.
Facial volume treatments are approached as a whole-face assessment, not as individual isolated treatments. What affects one area of the face influences the appearance of adjacent areas. Your practitioner will explain the relationships between the areas you are concerned about and outline the approach she recommends for your anatomy. If treatment proceeds, a consent process is completed before any treatment begins. Results may vary.
The practitioner who assesses and treats you has the greatest influence on the safety, appropriateness, and quality of your outcome. In Australia, injectable cosmetic treatments involving prescription-only medicines must be prescribed by a medical practitioner. Beyond meeting this requirement, the depth of clinical experience and the approach to assessment are what determine whether the outcome suits your anatomy.
Our practitioner is an AHPRA-registered nurse with over 23 years of clinical experience and more than 11,500 procedures completed. Her approach to facial volume assessment is grounded in a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and age-related change, and is guided by the principle that the most effective outcomes are those that look natural and appropriate for the patient's face. She will advise you honestly on what is achievable and what is not, based on your individual anatomy.
