VOLUME LOSS CONSULTATIONS

Facial volume changes can occur gradually over time due to natural ageing, changes in bone structure, fat distribution, and skin support. A volume loss consultation focuses on assessing these changes and understanding how they may be contributing to shifts in facial shape, balance, or support.

At MD Cosmetic Nurse, volume loss consultations are designed to provide a personalised facial assessment, allowing time to discuss your concerns, review suitability, and explore appropriate options based on your individual anatomy and goals focused on natural-looking outcomes and facial balance.

Facial Volume Loss Consultations

Facial volume loss is a natural part of the ageing process and can affect facial shape, structure, and balance over time. A personalised consultation allows for a detailed assessment of how these changes are presenting in your face. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, each consultation focuses on understanding your individual facial anatomy, ageing patterns, and goals to support appropriate, informed planning.

In some consultations, Michelle uses ultrasound technology to identify anatomical structures under the skin.

What Is a Facial Volume Loss Consultation?

A facial volume loss consultation is an in-depth assessment of changes that may occur in areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, and mid-face. These changes can influence facial proportions, contour, and the overall appearance of the skin.

Your consultation provides an opportunity to explore contributing factors, ask questions, and discuss suitable options based on your individual facial structure and expectations.

Understanding Facial Ageing and Volume Changes

As we age, natural changes occur in bone structure, fat compartments, and skin support. These changes can contribute to a loss of facial volume and definition. During your consultation, these factors are assessed carefully to understand how volume changes may be influencing your facial appearance.

Personalised Assessment and Treatment Planning

Every face ages differently. Your consultation includes a detailed evaluation of facial proportions, structure, and symmetry. Based on this assessment, personalised recommendations may be discussed, focusing on subtle, balanced outcomes that respect your natural features.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your facial volume loss consultation is designed to be informative, supportive, and patient-focused. Adequate time is taken to ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. Education and transparency are prioritised, allowing you to explore options without pressure.

Facial Assessment and Medical History

A comprehensive facial assessment is performed alongside a review of relevant medical history. This ensures recommendations are appropriate, ethical, and aligned with best clinical practice.

Discussion of Your Concerns and Goals

You will have the opportunity to discuss specific areas of concern, desired outcomes, and expectations. Open communication helps guide recommendations that align with your comfort level and goals.

Individualised Recommendations

Where appropriate, individualised options may be discussed during your consultation. All recommendations are explained clearly to support informed decision-making. Alternative treatment options may be discussed. Consultations are practitioner-led and do not guarantee treatment. Individual results for treatments vary from person-to-person and from treatment-to-treatment.
