Areas of concern - Dr. sim lew-gor | Facial plastic surgery

Facial ageing rarely presents as a single isolated feature. More commonly, patients notice a combination of changes, such as loss of jawline definition, heaviness around the eyes, or alterations in facial volume, without a clear understanding of the underlying cause.

At Dr Sim Lew-Gor’s practice in Melbourne and Wagga Wagga, concerns are assessed within the context of overall facial structure. The aim is not simply to address a visible feature, but to understand the anatomical changes responsible for it.

Patient Flow

Facial concerns rarely occur in isolation. The anatomy of one region influences another and understanding this relationship is part of what makes treatment planning at Dr. Sim Lew-Gor's practice different.

Consultation & Treatment Planning

Consultations are available in Melbourne, Victoria, and Wagga Wagga, New South Wales.

During consultation, assessment includes: facial structure and proportions, pattern of ageing, suitability for surgical or non-surgical treatment, and discussions of appropriate options and expectations.

Treatment planning is individualised and may involve non-surgical management, surgical intervention, or a staged approach over time. In some cases, the most appropriate recommendation is that no treatment is currently indicated.

What consultation involves

Common questions raised before consultation.

How do I know which facial concern applies to me?

Many patients identify with more than one concern. This section is designed as a guide, with final assessment undertaken during consultation in Melbourne or Wagga Wagga. If you are uncertain where to begin, the Tired or Aged Appearance page provides a broad entry point.

Should I choose surgical or non-surgical treatment?

The most appropriate approach depends on the underlying anatomical changes. Non-surgical treatments may be suitable in earlier stages, while surgical treatment may be considered where structural changes are more advanced. This is determined at consultation, not in advance.

Can one treatment address multiple concerns?

Facial ageing typically involves multiple layers. A single treatment may not address all contributing factors, and a combination approach may be discussed where appropriate. The aim is always to plan treatment around what the anatomy requires, not to select a single procedure in isolation.

Is treatment based on age?

No. Treatment decisions are based on anatomical findings rather than chronological age. The same concern may present differently at different ages and in different individuals, which is why individual assessment is always the starting point.
