Scope

What this practice is,
and is not

Dr Hawli is a registered medical practitioner working in cosmetic medicine. He holds general registration.
He does not hold specialist registration as a plastic surgeon or as a dermatologist, and does not describe himself as a specialist in either field. This practice does not perform surgery.
Under Australian regulation, only practitioners with the relevant specialist registration may use protected specialist titles. Stating the scope directly is more useful to a patient deciding where to book than leaving it to inference.
Where a concern falls outside this scope, referral to an appropriate practitioner is made.
Qualification in practice

What a cosmetic doctor does
that an injector does not

A cosmetic doctor holds a primary medical qualification. In practice that changes four things.
01

Prescribing

Schedule 4 medicines used in cosmetic procedures must be prescribed by a medical practitioner. The Medical Board of Australia requires a consultation with the patient, in person or by video, each time such a medicine is prescribed. At many clinics that consultation happens by video link with a doctor the patient does not meet. Here the prescriber is the person in the room.
02

Assessing suitability

Medical history, current medications, neuromuscular conditions and pregnancy all affect whether a procedure is appropriate. Assessing that requires medical training.
03

Recognising when not to proceed

The Ahpra guidelines that took effect on 2 September 2025 require practitioners to assess motivation and expectation, screen for underlying psychological conditions including body dysmorphic disorder, and decline where a procedure is not in the patient’s interest.
04

Managing complications

Where an adverse outcome occurs, it is assessed and managed by a medical practitioner rather than referred elsewhere.
In his words

How I approach
assessment

I take the history myself, examine the relevant areas myself, and explain what I have found before discussing any options.
The face changes across several layers with age. Bone volume reduces. Deep fat pads reduce and shift position. Muscle activity alters. Skin quality changes independently of all of it. I assess those layers together rather than looking at surface lines on their own, because treating a line without understanding what sits underneath it produces a result that does not hold.
I also observe movement. Some lines are present at rest and others appear only with expression, and that distinction determines what is achievable. It cannot be assessed from a photograph.
Patients often tell me they have been treated somewhere they felt rushed. For a clinic, an appointment is routine. For the person in the chair it usually is not.
That is why my consultations are structured the way they are, and why some of them end with me recommending nothing at all.
Clinical interests

Areas of assessment

Facial assessment

Lines associated with expression and lines present at rest across the forehead, between the brows, around the eyes, around the mouth and on the neck. Volume change in the midface and temples. Lip shape, symmetry and proportion. Chin projection and jaw contour. Facial asymmetry.

Non surgical nasal assessment

Assessment of nasal shape and proportion, including whether a non surgical approach is suitable and, frequently, when it is not. This is an area where declining is common and appropriate.

Excessive sweating

Medical assessment of hyperhidrosis affecting the underarms, hands, feet, face or scalp, including screening for secondary causes such as thyroid conditions. Medicare rebates apply in some cases of severe underarm sweating where specific eligibility criteria are met.

Jaw clenching and teeth grinding

Assessment of jaw muscle activity and associated jaw pain and headache, with referral to a dentist where dental management is the appropriate course.
Before you book

Questions patients ask

If your question is not answered here, ask it at your consultation.

He will. There is no other practitioner at the clinic.

Search the public Ahpra register by name or by registration number. It shows whether the person is registered, in which profession, whether registration is current, and whether any conditions or undertakings apply.

No. A plastic surgeon holds specialist registration in surgery and performs operations. Dr Hawli holds general medical registration and works in non surgical cosmetic medicine. No surgery is performed at this practice.

No. A referral is not required to book a consultation. Some patients prefer to speak with their GP first, which is reasonable.

Whether they are registered and in what profession, what their primary qualification is, who will actually perform the procedure, who prescribes the medicine and whether that person will be present, what their experience is with the specific concern, and how complications are managed. Any practitioner should answer all of those directly.

Adverse outcomes are assessed and managed by Dr Hawli. Contact details for follow up are provided at the appointment. Where a complication requires care beyond the scope of this practice, referral is arranged.

No. Suitability requires an examination and a medical history. An answer given without those would be unreliable, and giving one would not be appropriate.

As long as you want. There is no obligation to proceed at the consultation or afterwards. Many patients take several days, which is reasonable and often sensible.

A list of your current medications and any known allergies. If you have had previous cosmetic procedures, bring details of what was done and when, including any product records you were given.
