Making the Most of Your Consultation at Absolute Cosmetic
At Absolute Cosmetic, we understand that choosing a cosmetic procedure is a significant decision. That’s why we’ve designed our consultation process to be thorough, informative, and supportive, ensuring you have all the information you need to make the right choice for you.
Step 1: Do Your Research
Before your consultation, we recommend visiting our website, absolutecosmetic.com.au, where you can find detailed information about the treatments we offer, our team, and what to expect. You can also check out our Instagram for insights into our work and patient before and afters.
Step 2: Prepare Your Questions
Writing down your questions before your consultation is a great way to ensure you don’t forget anything important. With so much information available online, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Instead of relying on unverified sources, focus on trusted information from our website and experienced professionals.
Step 3: Watch the Pre-Consultation Video
Our pre-consultation video provides an overview of the consultation process, potential treatments, and key considerations. We recommend watching it at least twice to help you better understand the information and prepare any follow-up questions.
Step 4: Understanding the Consultation Process
During your consultation, you will:
✔ Meet with a nurse to discuss your medical history and concerns.
✔ Have a consultation with our patient coordinator.
✔ See Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) or one of our experienced practitioners to review treatment options and expectations.
✔ Have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and clarify any concerns.
We want to ensure that you feel confident in your decision, so we provide multiple touchpoints throughout the process.
Step 5: Read and Understand Your Consent Form
Before proceeding with any treatment, you’ll be given a consent form outlining the procedure, potential risks, and important considerations. It’s essential to read and understand this document carefully before signing. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Step 6: Making the Decision
At Absolute Cosmetic Medicine, we adhere to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) guidelines, which mandate a minimum 7-day cooling-off period after the second consultation for cosmetic surgical procedures. This period allows patients ample time to consider their decision before proceeding with surgery. However, patients are encouraged to take additional time if needed to feel confident in their decision. We strongly advise using this period to seek further information, ask questions, and consider obtaining a second opinion to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with your choice.
Final Thoughts
Your consultation at Absolute Cosmetic is designed to be a thorough and informative experience. By preparing ahead of time, watching the pre-consultation video, and coming in with your questions, you can make the most of your appointment and ensure you have a clear understanding of your options.
