Camberwell patients can book a private jaw muscle and lower-face assessment with Corey Anderson RN at Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh. The visit separates a cosmetic jaw-muscle question from jawline, chin, dental or medical concerns before any treatment decision.
A useful first step, close to Camberwell
You do not need to diagnose the concern or arrive knowing which treatment you want. If the sides of your lower face seem wider, the jaw muscles feel prominent, or clenching is part of the picture, bring those observations to a private consultation with Corey in Oakleigh.
Corey looks at the lower face as a whole and listens to what matters to you. The outcome may be cosmetic planning, more time, dental or medical input, a different lower-face pathway or no treatment. The value of the visit is clarity before commitment.
What have you noticed?
The lower face looks wider at the sides
Jaw-muscle prominence may be part of the picture, but bone shape, chin support and ordinary asymmetry also affect how width reads.
Clenching or grinding belongs in the conversation
Tell Corey about jaw tension, a mouthguard, tooth wear or advice you have already received. Symptoms may change which clinician should lead.
The concern may sit beyond the muscle
If the jaw border, chin or skin is what catches your attention, a different assessment pathway may be more useful.
First, Corey separates the questions
Jaw muscle, jawline and chin concerns can look connected in a photograph, but they are not the same assessment. Corey compares the lower face at rest and in movement, asks what you notice and considers jaw-muscle prominence alongside the jaw border, chin support and natural side-to-side difference.
He also asks about clenching or grinding, dental care, a mouthguard, jaw symptoms, health, medicines and previous cosmetic treatment. This helps keep a cosmetic conversation within its proper boundary and makes referral visible when another clinician should lead.
If you want the broader service and first-visit pathway, read the Melbourne jaw muscle consultation page. If the border of the lower face is the main concern, use the Camberwell jawline assessment.
What the assessment helps decide
Muscle prominence appears to lead
Corey can explain whether individual cosmetic planning is reasonable after suitability, risk and consent are considered.
Jawline, chin or skin context leads
A different lower-face assessment may answer your concern more accurately than treating it as a jaw-muscle question.
Symptoms or dental context need attention
Dental or medical review may come first when pain, locking, clicking, bite change, tooth wear or headaches are central.
Your questions can lead the appointment
Bring the words you naturally use: wider at the sides, tense when concentrating, different in photos, or uncertain whether the muscle is involved. You can also ask about suitability, alternatives, cost, review access and what would make Corey recommend waiting.
The consultation question guide can help you make a short list before you visit.
A decision shaped around you
If jaw-muscle planning is relevant, Corey explains the individual factors that matter, including health history, medicines, previous treatment, facial balance, chewing comfort, expectations and timing. He also discusses alternatives, costs, aftercare, review access and the option to do nothing.
Some adults may be able to discuss treatment on the same day, but it is never assumed. You can keep the visit to assessment and take time to consider the information. Waiting or referral remains a valid outcome.
Bring a few practical details
| Bring or note | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Jaw and dental context | Any pain, clicking, locking, headaches, bite change, tooth wear, mouthguard use or recent dental advice helps identify the right boundary. |
| Health and treatment history | Current medicines, allergies, medical history and previous cosmetic treatment details support an individual safety discussion. |
| Your timing and questions | Upcoming events, travel and review availability help you decide without rushing. |
When dental or medical review comes first
A cosmetic consultation does not diagnose or treat a dental, jaw-joint or medical condition. Tell Corey if pain, locking, clicking, headaches, a changing bite, tooth wear, recent dental work or new facial symptoms are part of the picture. He may pause cosmetic planning and recommend assessment by the appropriate practitioner.
Seek timely medical or dental advice for severe, sudden or worsening symptoms. For a non-urgent cosmetic question, the consultation can still help you understand whether jaw muscle is the right conversation.

Is this for you?
Consider booking a consultation if
- Adults who want jaw muscle, lower face, jawline, chin and dental context assessed before treatment discussion
- Patients with clenching or grinding history who understand dental boundaries may matter
- Patients with previous treatment who may need records review, waiting or original clinic review
- Patients who accept that referral, waiting or no treatment may be the safest recommendation
This may not be for you if
- People wanting treatment without assessment, consent or risk discussion
- People seeking a fixed lower face change before consultation
- People wanting public prescription product advice or product led recommendations
- People with urgent dental, medical, infection, pain or jaw symptoms who need appropriate medical or dental care
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare before a jaw muscle consultation?
Prepare the concern in your own words, any jaw symptoms, dental advice, mouthguard use, previous treatment details, medicines, health history and questions. A clear history helps Corey decide whether this is a cosmetic, dental, medical or waiting question.
When might dental review come first?
Dental review may need to come first when grinding, tooth wear, bite change, jaw pain, clicking, locking or headaches are central. Cosmetic consultation does not replace dental diagnosis or care, and Corey may pause planning if another clinician should assess symptoms first.
Why does Camberwell have its own page?
The local page helps with travel, privacy, timing and review planning. It does not diagnose a concern or change clinical suitability. The main service page remains the broader query owner, while this page has a narrower local preparation role.
Can treatment happen on the same day?
Some adults may be suitable for same day treatment discussion, but it is not automatic. Corey first needs to assess suitability, explain relevant risks and alternatives, confirm informed consent and decide whether proceeding is clinically appropriate.
Can Corey recommend waiting or no treatment?
Yes. Waiting, referral, review later or no treatment may be recommended when the concern is mild, expectations are unclear, timing is poor, risk outweighs likely benefit, symptoms need another pathway or more information is needed.
What should I bring to the appointment?
Bring current medicines, allergies, relevant medical history, previous cosmetic treatment dates, upcoming events, travel plans and questions you want answered. Bring records from another clinic or clinician if they are relevant and available.
How can I verify the clinic before booking?
Before booking from Camberwell, check Verify Core Aesthetics and the Ahpra public register to confirm Corey Anderson RN, NMW0001047575 and the clinic details.
Is this page personal medical advice?
No. This page is general information for adults considering consultation. It cannot diagnose a concern, confirm suitability, replace urgent care or recommend treatment. Personal advice requires an individual assessment with a qualified health practitioner.
