A temporary change in appearance from a cosmetic product is not equivalent to injected filler. Neither a product label nor an online picture establishes a lasting increase in volume.
Ask what the proposed intervention is expected to do, how long that effect may last and what risks apply. No lasting fullness, fixed amount or universal result is promised.
Preparing for a consultation
Discuss the concern before considering an intervention.
01 · Before Describe the concern
Bring details of the change, relevant health history, current products and previous procedures.
02 · Consultation Discuss scope and realistic limits
The consultation should establish whether a cosmetic approach is appropriate or further assessment is needed. No procedure is promised.
03 · Next step Make an informed choice
If a cosmetic option is appropriate, review the exact proposal, risks, price and follow-up before deciding. No treatment is a valid choice.
Questions before choosing a cosmetic approach
Consider the specific concern, realistic limits and the actual proposal.
Check a topical product
Review the actual formulation and intended use. Stop using a product and seek appropriate advice if it causes a concerning reaction. Tingling or irritation is not evidence of a better cosmetic effect.
Check an injectable proposal separately
An injection is a procedure requiring assessment, consent and a complications plan. Discuss possible swelling, bruising, lumps, infection and rare serious vascular complications, as well as the expected effect.
Compare the full proposal
Consider the total price, follow-up, alternatives and whether you want any intervention. A promotional quantity or package is not a recommendation for your anatomy.
