Dermal Filler Consultation Chadstone

A consultation is where good filler results begin. Not in the treatment room, and not with the syringe.

This is the philosophy at Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh, five minutes from Chadstone Shopping Centre, and it is the reason why clients who have had unsatisfying filler experiences elsewhere consistently report better outcomes after switching to a consultation first model.

Dermal filler is a prescription product. The outcome depends almost entirely on two things: the quality of the assessment beforehand, and the clinical judgment applied during treatment. The syringe is just the last step in a longer process.

Why the Consultation Matters More Than Most People Think

Most people seeking dermal filler arrive with a specific area in mind. Lips are the most common. Cheeks second. Nasolabial folds third.

What This Means in Practice

But the area that is bothering you is not always the area that needs treatment most. And treating the area that is most visible without understanding what is driving it can produce a result that is either ineffective or looks off.

The most common example is nasolabial folds. Many people present wanting their folds treated directly, when the primary driver is actually mid face volume loss, which is sitting higher in the cheek. Placing filler in the fold itself treats the symptom, not the cause. Restoring cheek volume often improves the fold more effectively and more naturally. The assessment is what reveals this relationship.

“I had been asking for lip filler for two years. When Corey finally assessed me he said: ‘Your lips are fine. The issue is your mid face.’ The difference after treating the right area was remarkable.”

What Corey Anderson Assesses at Consultation

The dermal filler consultation at Core Aesthetics is a full face assessment, not a localised review of the area the client has requested.

What This Means in Practice

Corey Anderson reviews the face in three zones: upper, mid and lower. He assesses volume distribution, structural balance, the interaction between zones, and how changes in one area are affecting the appearance of others. He looks at the face at rest and in motion. He considers skin quality, the degree of volume change, and the structural goals that would serve the whole face picture.

From this assessment, he makes a recommendation. Not for the area the client asked about alone. For the approach that would best serve the face as a whole, in a conservative and clinically appropriate way.

Areas Assessed and Available for Treatment

What Happens After the Consultation

After the assessment, Corey Anderson discusses his findings and recommendation with you. There is no pressure to book treatment immediately or to agree with everything on the day. Many clients take time to consider the information and book treatment at a subsequent appointment.

When treatment does proceed, it is planned according to the individual assessment, with conservative doses as the starting point and a two week review to confirm the result. Hyaluronic acid filler is reversible at any point using hyaluronidase if adjustment is needed.
