Consultations for facial
volume & shaping
Depending on your age, sex, ethnicity and features, every face is different and this is why there are no set prices or generic treatments.
In your consultation Dr Jake will aim to get an understanding of your 'wants' (what you think you might like) vs your anatomical 'needs' (what he recommends based on your clinical photos and facial examination). Sometimes these marry up nicely and sometimes they don't, so each consultation aims to help you understand your face and what your treatment possibilities are.
Every face is special and therefore a treatment plan is often mapped out over a period of time to help you achieve holistic results whilst also managing your budget.
Facial volume & shaping
In your consultation various options will be discussed including how to help reduce sagging, soften hollows, contour features or maximise light reflection points. Facial aesthetics is complex and so Dr Jake rarely focuses on individual areas.
It's been said that a beautiful result from a skilled injector should be appreciated but not necessarily 'seen' - meaning that you should appear to look rested, youthful and vibrant but what was done should remains a secret. This is why you can't tell if someone with a good result has had or not, but oppositely those with more obvious treatments tend to be viewed more negatively.
By law in Australia, we aren't allowed to advertise the brand names of any medicines - including the brands of any products used by cosmetic injectors. But Dr Jake exclusively uses Allergan products for facial volumising and shaping because he has had extensive training and experience in using these products. He is national & international speaker in using these products and teaches injectors how to get the best out of using these products.
Key features

Full face indications

Outstanding satisfaction
In Dr Jake's hands the results of fillers are immediate & long-lasting with minimal downtime.
Excellent longevity
Dr Jake Sloane will suggest the right amount of product for each facial region. Products tend to last far longer than patients often realise and Dr Jake will guide you each time to avoid looking over-done or unnatural.
Downtime & aftercare
-
Every patient who has facial volume replacement will experience a degree of swelling, tenderness +/- bruising. One to two weeks of mild down time will always occur after these treatments and this is a normal soft tissue response to the needles used.
-
This downtime period should be factored into your diary, work arrangements and social life before you commit to a treatment. The vast majority of Dr Jake's patients will happily go to work the next day with no problems but new patients are reminded that these treatments are medical procedures and not beauty treatments.
-
For firmer products (often placed in the chin or jawline) you will be able to feel the filler under the skin for four or so weeks before becoming softer.
