## What your consultation includes
You describe what has changed and what you want to understand. Corey reviews the relevant context, assesses the face if you are comfortable, then explains suitable options, realistic limits, relevant risks, recovery considerations and private costs before you decide.
## Is this the right appointment for your concern?
A tired or hollow appearance can relate to skin, soft tissue, facial structure, ordinary movement, lighting or previous cosmetic care. A single photograph cannot show which factor matters most.
You can book when several areas are involved or when you are unsure what has changed. For a question centred on one area, these guides may help you describe it:
[**Cheeks and midface**Questions about cheek shape, flattening or facial balance.]()[**Under-eye concerns**Questions about hollowing, shadows or puffiness.]()[**Chin and jawline**Questions about the lower face and profile.]()[**Several areas or an unclear change**Read more about what may contribute to a hollow or tired appearance.]()
## Who you will see
Your consultation is with Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. [Verify practitioner and clinic details]() or read [about Core Aesthetics]() before deciding where to book.
## Assessment before choosing an option
It can help assess what you notice in person, at rest, from different angles and during ordinary movement. Corey also reviews relevant health history, recent changes and previous cosmetic or dental care. Assessment may clarify what remains uncertain as well as what may be relevant.
Looking at the face as a whole does not commit you to treating multiple areas. Explain your main concern and what you would prefer to leave unchanged.
## Risks, limits and alternatives
Risks depend on the area, option, anatomy, health and previous care. They may include pain, bruising, swelling, infection, asymmetry, lumps, unwanted appearance, tissue injury, vascular complications, delayed problems and further care.
The consultation should leave you clear about the recommendation, what it cannot achieve, alternatives and what happens afterwards. You can seek another opinion, take time to decide or choose no cosmetic treatment. [Read the questions to ask before agreeing]().
## Previous cosmetic or dental care
Bring dates, practitioner details and records where available, along with what has changed since. Earlier care can affect what is sensible to discuss, whether more time or records are needed, or whether another health professional should review the concern.
## When medical or dental assessment comes first
New one-sided changes, pain, rapidly evolving symptoms or dental and bite concerns need their appropriate medical or dental pathway. A cosmetic consultation does not diagnose a medical or dental condition.
## Consultation cost and follow-up
Allow around 30 minutes for your initial consultation. There is no charge for this appointment. If treatment is being considered, the full cost is explained before you agree. [Read the consultation and pricing information]().
The routine review is two weeks after treatment and is free to attend. Fees apply if additional treatment is required. Discuss aftercare, who to contact and any possible further costs before proceeding; do not wait for a routine review if you have concerning symptoms.
## Your visit to Oakleigh
Core Aesthetics is inside BeautyTHEQUE at **12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166**. The entrance is directly on Atherton Road with one step into the store. There is street parking out the front and a large car park across the road; check signs and availability.

**What I Check Before I Call A Facial Change ‘Volume Loss’**
### I Start With The Source, Not The Label
**Corey Anderson RN:** When you tell me your face has lost volume, I treat that phrase as a starting point, not a clinical finding. So I’ll ask you to show me the change. Then I work through five things: the skin surface, the mobile soft tissue underneath, the structural and dental support beneath that, how your face moves, and any care you’ve had before. The same shadow can come from more than one of them. If I can’t work out which is leading, I document that uncertainty and we discuss observation, records or another clinical pathway, rather than my attaching a convenient treatment label to it.
### I Standardise The View Before Comparing
**Corey Anderson RN:** I compare the concern under consistent light, camera distance and head position. At rest first, then during ordinary movement. A close phone image or a different expression can make an area look fuller, flatter or less even without establishing that anything has actually changed in the tissue. So I ask when you notice the feature in everyday life, and whether it stays visible across views. If it can’t be reproduced reliably, I’d rather observe it or review it later than plan from one photograph.
### A Wider Look Can Still Lead To A Focused Answer
**Corey Anderson RN:** I may examine your cheeks, temples, chin, jaw, teeth and facial movement even when you’re pointing at one small area. That wider view is there to explain the relationship, not to build a longer list of care. It might support a focused discussion. It might turn up a dental or medical question, show that previous care is unsettled, or confirm that ordinary variation matters more. Observation, referral or no cosmetic treatment are all complete consultation outcomes as far as I’m concerned.
## Before you book
**Can I bring photographs?**
Yes. A photograph can help explain the concern, but lighting, angle, expression and filters can change how a face appears. It cannot establish suitability or select a cosmetic option.
**Can suitable care be discussed on the day?**
Consultation comes first. If treatment is suitable and appropriate on the day, this can be discussed with Corey during your appointment. Booking does not guarantee treatment. Informed consent, the required clinical arrangements and agreed costs must be in place before proceeding.
## Choose an appointment
You can book to ask questions. Booking does not commit you to treatment.
