Core Aesthetics pauses elective cosmetic procedures during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This is the clinic’s approach to elective care, not a universal claim about every procedure. A conversation can still clarify the policy, organise records and questions, and help you understand who should advise you now. There is no automatic return date. Any later cosmetic discussion starts with a fresh assessment.
You do not need to make every decision now
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and early postpartum life can bring enough decisions already. At Core Aesthetics, elective cosmetic procedures wait during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so there is no pressure to fit care around a date or make a treatment choice before you feel ready.
If you have questions, a calm conversation can still be worthwhile. Corey can explain the clinic policy, listen to what has changed, help gather accurate records and point you towards the right health professional when the question sits outside cosmetic care.
The answer depends on where you are now
Elective procedures pause
You can ask questions and request records. Pregnancy advice belongs with your GP, obstetric or maternity team.
The clinic pause continues
A timing conversation is welcome. Medicine and feeding decisions stay with the clinician who knows your circumstances.
Share your plans early
Tell Corey before any plan advances, so changing timing is part of the conversation from the beginning.
Begin with your current needs
Ending pregnancy or breastfeeding does not create automatic suitability. A fresh assessment starts with how you are now.
A clinic pause, with useful support around it
Core does not provide elective cosmetic procedures to a patient who is pregnant or breastfeeding. The same policy applies whether this would be a first visit or you have had care before.
This is a Core Aesthetics clinic policy. It is not presented as a statement that every cosmetic procedure is unlawful or proven harmful. That distinction matters, especially if care occurred before pregnancy was known.
A non-procedure conversation can document dates, previous care and current questions. It cannot diagnose risk to a pregnancy or baby, direct medicine changes or promise that a future procedure will be suitable.

Elective cosmetic procedures wait during pregnancy and breastfeeding at Core Aesthetics.
Book an information conversation
Meet Corey to discuss timing, records and questions without an expectation of a procedure.
Gather facts for a handover
Contact the treating clinic for the record, then speak with the health professional responsible for your pregnancy or breastfeeding care.
If care happened before you knew
A surprise positive test can feel unsettling, but a webpage cannot assess an individual exposure. Ask the treating clinic for the date, practitioner, clinical record and aftercare details. Share those facts with your GP, obstetric or maternity team rather than relying on memory or internet reassurance.
Do not stop prescribed medicine or change breastfeeding because of this page. A doctor, pharmacist, maternity or lactation clinician can advise with the actual record and your health context.
Keep the later conversation simple
There is no universal countdown after pregnancy or breastfeeding. When the clinic pause no longer applies, Corey starts again with your current health, recovery, medicines, symptoms, previous care and what matters to you now.
You may decide that you want an assessment, more time or no cosmetic care. Old consent and an old plan do not carry forward automatically, and a future booking does not mean that a procedure will be appropriate.
If your concern is about pigment, dryness, sensitivity or another skin change after pregnancy, the skin changes after pregnancy guide keeps that separate from this clinic-wide timing policy.
Four details worth keeping
Important dates
Pregnancy, birth, feeding changes and any previous appointment dates.
Your health context
Current medicines, diagnoses, recovery concerns and the clinicians involved in your care.
Previous records
The treating clinic, practitioner, documented care and any unresolved concern.
Your questions now
What you want clarified, including whether waiting or leaving cosmetic care aside feels right.
What official guidance adds
Pregnancy, Birth and Baby notes that research is limited for many cosmetic products and procedures and recommends speaking with the relevant maternity care provider. That guidance helps frame individual questions, while the decision to pause elective procedures during pregnancy and breastfeeding remains Core Aesthetics clinic policy.
TGA guidance supports keeping public health-service information focused on consultations rather than promoting restricted therapeutic goods. This page therefore discusses the clinic pathway, timing and records without naming products or promising care.
Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms need an appropriate medical service, not a routine cosmetic booking. Call 000 for an emergency in Australia.
What to expect if you visit
You will meet directly with Corey for a private, unhurried conversation about the clinic policy, your questions and the information that may be useful later.
The appointment can be used for information only. Elective procedures remain paused during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and medical questions are directed to the appropriate practitioner.
Bring your questions, without pressure to decide
Meet Corey to clarify the clinic policy, organise what matters now and leave any future cosmetic decision for a fresh assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Does Core Aesthetics provide cosmetic procedures during pregnancy?
No. Core Aesthetics pauses elective cosmetic procedures during pregnancy. This is the clinic policy for elective care and is not presented as a universal statement that every possible procedure is unlawful or proven harmful.
Does Core provide cosmetic procedures while I am breastfeeding?
No. The clinic pause continues while a patient is breastfeeding or expressing milk. Medicine and feeding questions should be discussed with the patient’s doctor, pharmacist, maternity or lactation team.
Can I still have a consultation while pregnant or breastfeeding?
A non-procedure conversation may document the concern, timing, previous care and relevant health information, explain the clinic pause and identify the correct health professional for another question. It cannot establish future procedure suitability or replace pregnancy or breastfeeding care.
What should I do if care occurred before I knew I was pregnant?
Contact the treating clinic for the accurate date and clinical record, and contact the health professional responsible for the pregnancy. Share traceable facts rather than guessing a product, amount or conception date. Use urgent care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Should I stop breastfeeding after an unexpected cosmetic exposure?
Do not change breastfeeding based on this website. Contact the treating practitioner and a doctor, pharmacist, maternity or lactation clinician who can consider the actual record and individual circumstances.
Should I stop prescribed medicine before a later cosmetic consultation?
Do not stop or change prescribed medicine to make a cosmetic appointment possible. Discuss medicine changes with the prescriber, doctor or pharmacist responsible for that care.
How long after breastfeeding can I return?
This page does not set a universal waiting period. When breastfeeding has ended, a fresh assessment still needs to consider current health, recovery, medicines, symptoms, previous care, priorities and access to review. Reassessment is not automatic approval.
What if I am trying to conceive?
Disclose that pregnancy is possible or planned before any cosmetic discussion advances. Core does not use a website countdown as a substitute for individual timing and medical advice.
Does being postpartum mean I am ready for cosmetic care?
No. Birth or the end of breastfeeding does not establish suitability. Recovery, surgery, complications, symptoms, medicines, mental health, support, priorities and follow-up access may all affect whether a later discussion is appropriate.
Who should answer pregnancy or breastfeeding medicine questions?
Start with the health professional who knows the patient’s medical history, such as a GP, obstetric or maternity clinician, prescriber or pharmacist. Pregnancy, Birth and Baby also provides Australian maternal child health information and support.
