04What will it cost?
Ask for the total cost in writing, including consultation, treatment and any follow-up.

Ask what to expect in the days afterwards, what to avoid, and who to contact.

Risks and recovery
All cosmetic procedures carry risks. Dr Najjar will explain the risks for your treatment, and you will receive written information and aftercare instructions.
Costs
Cosmetic consultations and treatments are private billed and are not covered by Medicare. You will receive the full cost in writing before any treatment.
Common and usually short-lived
Redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, mild headache or small lumps at injection sites, usually settling within days.
Less common
Uneven results, lumps that persist, infection, a temporary droop of an eyelid or brow, or results that do not meet expectations.
Rare but serious
Allergic reactions, blocked blood vessels causing skin damage, and very rarely effects on vision. These need urgent assessment, and the clinic has protocols to respond.
When to seek help
Contact the clinic straight away about increasing pain, skin colour changes, blistering, vision changes or signs of infection. In an emergency, call 000.
