For adults coming from Carnegie, a jaw muscle consultation is a private lower-face assessment with Corey Anderson RN at Core Aesthetics in nearby Oakleigh. Corey listens to what you notice, reviews jaw and dental context, and explains whether cosmetic planning, another practitioner, waiting or no treatment is the most useful next step.
Start with what you have noticed
You do not need to decide whether the concern is muscle, jawline, chin or dental before you arrive. You may simply notice a broader lower face, tension when you clench, a difference between sides or a change after previous care.
Corey begins with that observation and your health and dental history. The aim is a clear, unhurried recommendation, with no assumption that booking a consultation means treatment will follow.
Which starting point sounds like you?
The jaw area looks broader than you expect
You want to understand whether muscle is part of the picture or whether natural structure, chin position and soft tissue matter more.
You notice tension or a strong clench
You want the cosmetic question kept separate from pain, bite changes and concerns that belong with a dentist or doctor.
You have had treatment elsewhere
Dates, records and how the jaw has felt since then can make a new assessment more useful.
You want a professional view first
You can bring the question without arriving with a treatment choice already made.
Your appointment begins with your own words
Corey asks what you have noticed, how long it has been present and what you would like to understand. He reviews relevant health, medicines, dental advice, mouthguard use, symptoms and previous cosmetic care before looking at the lower face at rest and in movement.
The jaw muscle is then considered alongside the jawline, chin, natural asymmetry and soft tissue. This helps separate a muscle question from a structural or dental one, and gives you a clearer reason for the recommendation.

What can the consultation lead to?
Jaw muscle planning may be relevant
If the concern, assessment and health context align, Corey can explain suitable options, material risks, cost and review planning before you decide.
Dental or medical input should lead
Symptoms, recent dental work or another health concern may make a dentist or doctor the more useful first step.
Waiting may be the clearest answer
You may leave with time to observe, gather records or decide that no cosmetic treatment is needed.
Nearby care can still be considered care
Core Aesthetics is in Oakleigh, close to Carnegie, which can make a return visit easier to plan if one is recommended. The appointment itself remains unhurried and individual, regardless of how near the clinic is.
If your main question is transport, timing or general appointment planning rather than the jaw muscle, use the Carnegie consultation guide.
One practitioner follows the whole decision
You meet directly with Corey Anderson RN. He listens to the original concern, completes the assessment, explains the recommendation and remains the practitioner you speak with if a later review is needed.
If cosmetic planning is appropriate, you can ask about alternatives, likely review needs, costs and what to do if you have a concern afterwards. If it is not the right pathway, Corey explains why another practitioner, more time or no treatment makes better sense.
Bring the details that make the visit useful
| Bring this | What it adds | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Your own description | Where you notice width, tension, movement or side-to-side difference. | It keeps the appointment centred on the question that matters to you. |
| Health and dental context | Medicines, allergies, dental advice, mouthguard use and relevant symptoms. | It helps Corey recognise when cosmetic assessment should pause for another pathway. |
| Previous care details | Dates, records and any changes in comfort, chewing or symmetry. | Clear history supports safer timing and avoids guesswork. |
When another practitioner should lead
Jaw pain, locking, clicking, headaches, tooth wear, a changed bite or recent dental work may need dental or medical review before cosmetic planning. Seek urgent care for severe, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms.
If a cosmetic pathway is discussed, Corey explains the risks that apply to you. These may include bruising, tenderness, asymmetry, changes in chewing comfort, an unintended effect or dissatisfaction, along with aftercare and review access.

Come in with a question, leave with a clearer next step
Your visit can lead to cosmetic planning, another practitioner, time to consider or reassurance that no treatment is needed.

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 most appropriate 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 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 Carnegie 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?
Core Aesthetics lists Corey Anderson as a Registered Nurse with Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. Patients can use the Verify Core Aesthetics page, the clinic contact details and the Ahpra public register to check practitioner and clinic information before booking.
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.
