For adults coming from Mount Waverley, this page is the practical route into a facial volume consultation with Corey Anderson RN at the Oakleigh clinic. Corey first listens to what has changed, then considers facial structure, skin, movement, health history, previous care and timing. The appointment may lead to a suitable plan, more time, another pathway or no treatment; it also makes room to plan review before you decide.
Start with the change you have noticed
You do not need to arrive knowing which area or option is relevant. A useful starting point is simply whether your face seems less supported, a shadow looks different, or a feature no longer feels in balance with the rest of your face.
For Mount Waverley patients, this page focuses on making the Oakleigh visit easy to understand: what Corey will assess, what is worth bringing and how consultation and follow-up stay part of one considered process.
Is this the right page for you?
You are coming from Mount Waverley
You want the practical details of meeting Corey in Oakleigh and planning a return if one is useful.
Your question is about the service itself
The Oakleigh facial volume page covers the broader assessment and service pathway.
You are unsure what has changed
The facial shape guide compares skin, support, movement and previous care.
What Corey considers with you
Corey looks at the face as a set of relationships rather than an isolated feature. That can include cheek and midface support, temples, lower-face balance, skin quality, expression, dental or health context and any previous cosmetic care.
He also asks what you want to keep recognisably yours. If the visible change is better explained by skin, movement, natural anatomy or another health issue, the conversation can move in a different direction before any plan is made.
You can arrive with one simple sentence
Try: “This is the change I notice, and this is when I notice it most.” That is enough to begin. Photos or previous records can add context, but you do not need to diagnose the cause or choose a treatment yourself.
If you want more context before visiting, read skin versus structural ageing or how a whole-face assessment works.
Consultation is a decision space
The appointment is useful even when it ends without treatment. Corey can explain what appears relevant, what remains uncertain and whether an option, more time, review, referral or no cosmetic treatment makes the most sense.
If an option is suitable to discuss, material risks, alternatives, likely aftercare and costs are covered before you decide. Same-day treatment is not assumed, and you can use the visit for information and questions only.
Bring three details that make the visit useful
| Bring this | What to note | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Your observation | Where the change appears and whether light, expression or fatigue alters it. | It keeps the conversation anchored in your real concern. |
| Previous care | Dates, areas and records if you have had cosmetic treatment elsewhere. | Clear history helps Corey assess what can be understood now and what may need time. |
| Your calendar | Work, travel, dental care or events that could affect aftercare and review. | Timing can be planned as part of the decision rather than after it. |
When another kind of care should come first
A sudden, painful, one-sided or rapidly changing facial concern needs appropriate medical or dental advice rather than a routine cosmetic consultation. It is also sensible to wait if you are unwell, have active infection or irritated skin, cannot provide a clear history, or do not feel ready to consent.
For elective cosmetic care during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the clinic takes a cautious approach and does not proceed. The volume treatment safety guide provides deeper risk and aftercare context without replacing personal assessment.
Plan the Oakleigh visit and the return
Your appointment is a private conversation with Corey at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh, with time to explain what you have noticed and what matters to you.
Before travelling from Mount Waverley, check the appointment time and think about whether you could return to Oakleigh if review is recommended. If an option is suitable, pricing and practical aftercare are discussed before you choose.
Current public guidance
This page describes a practitioner consultation rather than promoting a particular product or promising an outcome. That approach reflects current TGA guidance for advertising health services involving therapeutic goods and Ahpra guidance for higher-risk cosmetic procedure advertising.
Come in with a question, not a decision
Meet Corey in Oakleigh to understand the change you have noticed and leave with a clearer, personal next step.

Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Is volume treatment suitable for everyone nearby?
No. Suitability depends on facial structure, skin quality, medical history, previous treatment, timing, expectations and whether risks can be properly discussed. Corey Anderson RN may recommend treatment planning, waiting, referral, review later or no treatment after assessment.
What does Corey assess before volume treatment is discussed?
Corey assesses cheeks, midface, temples, folds, jawline transition, lower face balance, skin quality, medical history, medicines, previous treatment, pregnancy or breastfeeding status if relevant, timing, aftercare needs and whether informed consent can be properly given.
Can treatment happen on the same day as consultation?
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 appropriate. Waiting or no treatment may be safer.
How is this different from the main Oakleigh volume page?
The main Oakleigh page is the central local service hub. This page is written for Mount Waverley patients comparing nearby access and focuses on the same clinical pathway: facial assessment, suitability, consent, timing, aftercare planning and verification.
What if I have had treatment elsewhere?
Tell Corey when it happened, what area was treated, what was used if known, and whether there has been swelling, firmness, heaviness, asymmetry or a change you dislike. Prior treatment can change whether further treatment, waiting or referral is safest.
Does local access make treatment more likely?
No. Local access may make consultation, review and aftercare contact easier, but it does not make treatment more suitable. The clinical decision still depends on assessment, consent, timing, risks, medical history and whether proceeding is appropriate for the individual patient.
What risks are discussed for volume treatment planning?
Relevant risks can include bruising, swelling, tenderness, asymmetry, lumps, infection, delayed inflammatory reaction, dissatisfaction and rare but serious vascular warning signs. Corey discusses risks, aftercare and what to do if symptoms feel unusual before any treatment decision is made.
What if the concern is mostly skin quality?
Skin quality, texture, lighting, dryness, sun exposure, weight change and natural anatomy can all look like volume change. Corey may explain that a volume treatment plan is not suitable, or that waiting, skin care discussion, referral or no treatment is more appropriate.
How should I plan around swelling and events?
Do not book close to major work, travel, photography, dental or social commitments. Swelling and bruising can occur and may change over several days. Timing is part of suitability, and Corey may recommend delaying treatment discussion if review access or recovery timing is not sensible.
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.
