Can I discuss more than one area?
Yes. Describe each concern and explain which matters most to you. Ask how the practitioner will assess the areas individually and together. Discussing several areas does not mean each one needs treatment.
What should I disclose about previous procedures?
Share the dates, areas treated, products or devices used if known, and any complications. Bring records if available. Do not assume a previous procedure is irrelevant because its visible effect has changed.
Are under-eye, temple and mouth concerns assessed in the same way?
Ask the practitioner to explain the findings for the specific area you are concerned about. Suitability, limitations and risks cannot be established by applying the same plan to every facial area or every person.
Does my age determine whether I need a procedure?
No particular age creates a need for cosmetic treatment. Explain your concerns, health history and expectations. You can choose not to have a procedure.
How should I compare proposed options?
Ask what each option can and cannot change, what evidence supports the recommendation, what risks are involved and what alternatives exist. Discuss recovery, total costs, follow-up and arrangements for complications.
Should I automatically repeat a previous treatment?
Ask for reassessment before deciding on further procedures. Explain what has changed, any previous problems and your current goals. A past treatment plan does not establish current suitability.
Where can I find independent information?
Read Ahpra’s information for people considering cosmetic procedures. Check the practitioner’s registration and ask about their relevant experience. For appointment enquiries, contact Flawless Aesthetics.
