Considering a cosmetic treatment can bring up many questions, from what’s involved to how to prepare. At Absolute Cosmetic, we believe informed decisions are the best decisions. With over 25 years of experience, our team is well-versed in guiding patients through both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
Below, we’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions to help you feel more confident as you explore your options.
1. How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Every patient is unique. The best way to determine which treatment suits your needs is to have a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. We’ll take the time to understand your goals and recommend options that are appropriate for you.
2. What happens during a consultation?
Your consultation includes a full assessment with a doctor or nurse, a discussion of your goals, and an explanation of suitable treatment options. We’ll also discuss potential risks and what to expect before, during, and after your procedure. Our team will do their best to put any nerves at ease.
3. Are all treatments performed by qualified professionals?
Yes. All treatments at Absolute Cosmetic are performed by qualified and experienced doctors and registered nurses. Our team follows strict Australian health regulations and is trained in both clinical protocols and cosmetic techniques.
4. What’s the difference between surgical and non-surgical treatments?
Non-surgical treatments (such as injectables or laser procedures) are typically performed in-clinic and involve little to no downtime. Surgical treatments (such as liposuction or breast augmentation) are more involved and may require anaesthesia and a longer recovery period.
5. How do I prepare for a procedure?
Preparation depends on the treatment. Generally, we recommend avoiding alcohol and certain medications, staying well-hydrated, and following the personalised advice provided at your consultation. For surgical procedures, we provide detailed pre-operative instructions.
Depending on the treatment, you may also want to avoid scheduling any major events immediately afterwards to allow time for healing.
6. What’s the recovery like?
Recovery times vary. Non-surgical treatments may involve mild redness or swelling, while surgical procedures often require more recovery time. We provide tailored aftercare instructions to support your healing process and strongly recommend reading and following these carefully.
7. Are the results permanent?
This depends on the procedure. Some treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, offer temporary results and require ongoing maintenance. Other treatments may involve a series of appointments for the best outcomes. Surgical procedures can offer longer-lasting results but are still subject to natural changes over time.
8. What are the risks?
All procedures carry some level of risk. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the specific risks and potential complications related to your treatment. We encourage open discussions and welcome any questions you may have.
