About this consultation
If you have questions about your jawline or masseter area, a consultation is a chance to explain what you have noticed and what you would like to understand. The discussion starts with your circumstances and expectations. It may lead to considering different approaches, seeking another opinion or deciding that no treatment is needed.
At your consultation
Describe your concern
Explain which part of your lower face you want to discuss, any changes you have noticed and any discomfort. Share relevant health information and details of previous treatments.
Discuss possible approaches
Ask what an assessment can establish, which options may be appropriate and where their limits lie. Discuss risks and alternatives, including leaving the area untreated, before choosing a next step.
Review a plan before deciding
If a treatment is proposed, ask who would carry it out, what it involves, the full quotation and arrangements for advice afterwards. Your plan and cost should be explained and agreed before treatment.
Risks & considerations
- Booking this consultation does not commit you to a procedure or guarantee that a treatment will be offered.
- If your concern includes pain or difficulty using your jaw, tell the team when enquiring and ask whether a different healthcare appointment is more appropriate.
- Ask about the consultation fee and appointment terms before booking; any proposed treatment is quoted separately after assessment.
Common questions
Do I need to know which treatment I want?
No. Describe what you have noticed and what matters to you. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss the options and whether any treatment is appropriate, without selecting a procedure in advance.
Will a consultation lead to a particular procedure?
No particular procedure is promised. The next step depends on the assessment and your preferences. You may choose to take more time, seek another opinion or have no treatment.
How will I know the cost?
Ask the team for the consultation fee before booking. If a personal treatment plan is proposed after assessment, its full cost and what is included will be explained before you decide whether to proceed.
Your suitability needs to be assessed by a qualified practitioner. Ask about expected benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.
