Prepare for your lip consultation.

A short note on your phone is enough to start. Bring:

• What you have noticed, when it began and what you want to keep unchanged.
• Dates and records of previous lip or mouth-area treatment, if available.
• Your medicines, supplements, allergies and relevant health history.
• Recent or planned dental work, and any cold-sore history.
• Event or travel dates and the questions you want answered.

You can still book if you do not have every detail.

Ask what could help your particular concern, what it cannot change and whether doing nothing is a sensible option. Useful questions include:

• What do you think is causing the change I see?
• What would you advise against, and why?
• What are the common and serious risks for me?
• What will recovery and review involve?
• What is the total cost, and could further care cost more?

You can ask for an explanation again or take time to decide.

Describe the feature you notice and when you see it. For example: the edge looks less clear, one side looks different, or the upper lip becomes less visible when you smile. Say whether it is a recent change or something you have always noticed. Also explain what you want to keep, such as your usual smile or lip size. Corey can then assess the concern without you choosing a procedure first.

You can, but they are optional. An older, unfiltered photo of yourself may help show a change over time. A photo or short video of your usual smile can help explain something that appears only with movement. Someone else’s photo can help describe a preference, but it cannot set a promised result. Corey still needs to look at your own lips, movement and surrounding features.

Bring the treatment dates, clinic details and any notes describing what was used and where, if you have them. Mention recovery problems, lumps, pain or changes you did not want, even if the treatment was years ago. If details are missing, say so rather than guessing. You can still have a consultation, but Corey may need records from the previous clinic before recommending further care.

Yes. Tell Corey if you have had cold sores, how often they occur and when the last one appeared. That history can affect preparation for lip-area care. If tingling, a blister or a sore develops before your appointment, contact the clinic and follow Healthdirect advice. Eye-area symptoms need immediate medical advice; severe, spreading or infected symptoms should not wait for a cosmetic appointment.

Tooth pain with facial or gum swelling, fever or a bad taste may need urgent dental assessment; a cosmetic consultation cannot treat a dental infection.

No. Do not stop or change prescribed medicines to prepare for a cosmetic appointment unless your treating clinician advises it. Bring a current list, including non-prescription medicines and supplements, and describe any allergies or previous reactions. Also tell Corey if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy. These details help him advise on the specific option and timing; booking a consultation does not establish that a procedure is suitable.
