Consultations
Before any cosmetic medical treatment, every patient needs to present to the clinic for an in-person consultation. This ensures we are able to evaluate your facial features for suitability and to develop a custom treatment plan.
During this consultation, we will also take the opportunity to evaluate your heath, any medications you may take and lifestyle factors that may affect your suitability for treatment.
It is important to note that not everyone will be a suitable candidate for medical treatments.
Risks
Cosmetic medical treatments can enhance appearance and confidence, but like any medical procedure, they come with risks and potential complications. These vary depending on the treatment type, the provider’s qualifications, and individual patient factors.
General Risks Across Most Treatments
- Infection: Any procedure involving skin penetration (e.g., injections, surgery, microneedling) carries a risk of infection if equipment isn’t properly sterilised or aftercare isn’t followed.
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may react to anesthetics, fillers, or topical products.
- Scarring: Improper healing or poor technique can result in permanent scars.
- Bleeding or Bruising: Common with injectable and surgical procedures.
- Asymmetry or Unsatisfactory Results: Aesthetic outcomes may not meet expectations or may appear uneven.
- Pain or Discomfort: Temporary soreness or tenderness is common post-procedure.
Treatment-Specific Risks
- Over- or under-correction of facial features
- Migration of material
- Vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessel), which can lead to tissue death or vision loss (rare but serious)
- Temporary drooping of eyelids or eyebrows
Psychological and Ethical Risks
- Body Dysmorphia: Some individuals may have unrealistic expectations or psychological distress post-treatment.
- Addiction to Enhancements: Repeated procedures can lead to distorted self-image.
Risk Reduction Strategies
- Choose qualified, experienced, and registered medical professionals.
- Request a comprehensive consultation including medical history, allergies, and contraindications.
- Follow pre- and post-care instructions carefully.
- Ensure all treatments occur in a clean, sterile, and regulated environment.
- Always ask about potential complications and emergency protocols before consenting.
