Facial profiling is this years biggest trend in the cosmetic industry and this patient opted for changing the shape to help.
Fillers can help to reshape the nose and alter your profile. When placed correctly filler can help to smooth out bumps or hooks on the nose, as seen in this lovely patient.
With no downtime and instant results, it’s clear to see why this has become so popular!
It’s important to be aware that this is a high risk area of treatment and should only be carried out by experienced cosmetic practitioners with good knowledge of local anatomy and potential complications.
If you have any questions or are interested in the procedure, please pop by and see me in clinic.
Take care and stay healthy 😊

Even Dr Nora needs a good dentist to help keep her pearly whites healthy, so you should too 😬
It’s dental health week and dentists recommend brushing your teeth for least two minutes in the morning and night using a soft bristled brush with a flexible neck.
It’s really important not to press too hard on your teeth as this can damage your gums and the coating around your teeth, otherwise known as enamel.
But did you know you should also be brushing your tongue? This helps to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth and helps to keep the breath fresh.
And don’t forget to floss as this removes plaque from between your teeth helping to prevent gum disease.
65% of Australians haven’t seen the dentist in the last two years, don’t be part of the statistic and book your check up today, I’ve already had mine!

$4.7 million on Endometriosis?…What’s that? 🤔 Well let me explain.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 Australian women and it is when the cells similar to those in the womb grow in other parts of the body. This can lead to a number of debilitating symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful irregular periods, bowel problems, exhaustion and mental health problems just to name a few.
And here’s the great news! 👏🎉 A National Action Plan for Endometriosis has just been launched in Australia. The government will be putting $4.7 million towards researching better treatment, raising more awareness and understanding over the next 5 years.
The National Action Plan will come as a great relief to a lot of women as Endometriosis is currently under-diagnosed and it will allow patients to access better diagnosis and treatment pathways.
I’m looking forward to being part of this movement.

This evening I attended an informative women’s health update event held by Pindara Private Hospital.
In case you didn’t know, the cervical screening program has changed and it’s now offered to those aged 25-74 every 5 years. You will be due your first test aged 25 or 2 years after your last PAP smear. And of course if you have any symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pain or discharge seek medical advice sooner.
Medicine is always changing and it’s vital as a General Practitioner to keep up to date to give you the best possible treatment.
We covered other topics such as breast disease including lumps and skin changes, the new guidelines around polycystic ovarian syndrome and the controversial vaginal mesh.
I’m looking forward to sharing it all with you very soon.
