Cosmetic treatments — including medical-grade laser and injectable treatments — are now offered in a wide range of settings, and not always by medically qualified operators. When treatments are performed by inexperienced or inadequately qualified operators, unwanted outcomes and complications can occur.
At MedAesthetics, we sometimes see people who are unhappy with the results of a previous cosmetic treatment — carried out either in Australia or overseas — and who want to understand their options. Whether a previous result can be assessed or improved, and how, depends on an individual assessment, and outcomes vary from person to person.
Non-surgical concerns people commonly ask us to assess include:
- unevenness or asymmetry after a previous lip treatment;
- changes to eyebrow position after a previous injectable treatment to the forehead;
- swelling or lumpiness in the lower eyelids after a previous injectable treatment to the under-eye (tear trough) area;
- scarring or pigmentation changes after a previous cosmetic procedure, ablative laser, IPL or acid-based tattoo removal.
Please note: MedAesthetics is a non-surgical clinic. More complex concerns that require reconstructive (surgical) treatment are referred to appropriate plastic surgery clinics.
If you are wondering whether a previous result can be assessed or improved, the appropriate first step is an individual consultation, where the options — along with their limitations and risks — are explained so you can make an informed decision. You can arrange a consultation to discuss your situation.
