After heavily researching lip fillers I decided to bite the bullet and make an appointment with local nurse Megan Handley. I sent her an online inquiry on 08/06/2018 asking what brands she used and she directed me back to her website (where no brands were listed) Assuming she would then disclose the products in the appointment/consultation I booked for 06/07/18. At my appointment I filled out and signed a consent form. As there was no Dr on site Megan informed me I'd need to FaceTime Dr Aaron Stanes and as the camera on her phone was broken she asked me to call off my phone. I had a very brief conversation with Dr Aaron, he went through risks associated with filler, asked general questions about my health, he did not at any point mention the name of the product being prescribed and did not give me options. As Megan began to prepare the product I started asking questions about what the product was to which she answered it's hylauronic acid. I then asked what type of filler it was, she answered - thick filler. I asked again what is the name of the brand - avoiding the question again she answered - we stock many brands the one I'm going to use on you is hard to pronounce. I asked again, is it Juvederm? Restylane? She answered - no it's an Austrian brand. Looking back now I should've walked out then and there but hindsight is 20/20. The product was opened out of sight. I remember seeing a glimpse of white box. Before I left the clinic Megan gave me an aftercare sheet. Before handing it to me she crossed her number out and told me it was her old phone number but never offered me her new phone number. Just under 24 hours later I got home from work just after 3pm to look in the mirror to see my lips were white. I wasn't in any pain, but the whiteness seemed strange to me and I had read about blanching being dangerous so I reached out to my friends who advised me to call the clinic ASAP. Not having a phone number for Megan and wanting to speak to someone immediately I then remembered I had called Dr Aaron Stanes from my phone yesterday and his number was in my recent call history. I called him. He didn't answer. So I sent him the a text message asking him to get back to me. I then emailed Megan at 4:18pm but as it was within business hours I was worried she'd be with a client. In the meantime my girlfriend who manages a Medi Spa in LA was on FaceTime with me and she had asked me to touch the area and test the capillary and also instructed placing a warm compress on the area. She was concerned. Dr Aaron called me back and also advised me to do the warm compress. He advised me he'd speak to another senior Dr and call me back. There didn't seem any urgency or major concern. When he called me back he'd come to the conclusion that the reaction was from the product used to clean the area prior to the treatment. The following day on the 08/07 (Sunday) my lips had gotten some color back in them. I didn't feel comfortable returning to Nurse Megan or Dr Aaron for further treatment or advice as I just felt they were so quick to play down my issue and made me feel as though I had over reacted. Not only were they difficult to contact but I felt as though the shady behavior and the effort they went to to avoid disclosing the name of the product used made me feel as though I couldn't trust them and that the product used may not be legal in Australia. I contacted Megan via email requesting the name of the product used. She responded on the 10/07 again avoiding my question about the product name stating it was - dermal filler - hyaluronic acid and that this was not what I had a reaction to. I responded on the 10/07 requesting a copy of my medical record and asking for the name and manufacturer of the specific filler I was given. Megan responded on the 12/07 stating- "that it appears to be a reaction to the chlorhexadine wash and not filler" "Croma GmbH 204222 1/2020 are the product codes on the filler" To this day Nurse Megan has never picked up the phone and spoken to me directly about this incident and I am yet to receive a copy of an actual medical report / chart from my appointment back in July. If I hadn't have had Dr Aaron's number in my call history back on the 06/07 I would've had no immediate way of getting in touch with anyone post treatment. PRESENT DAY - After the initial swelling went down and the color came back to my lips the product migrated above the vermilion border. I sought a second opinion on this from another clinic and have since had my lips dissolved. After one dissolving session the product is still present in my top lip and still sits above the border. My advice to anyone booking in with nurse Megan. DONT. The before and after photos on her social media are not an accurate representation of her work and the product used is a cheap filler and is not worth her price tag. read more

Went to Nurse Megan on a recommendation from a friend. Communication before the appointment was good and post-appointment was good. I had a few questions which she answered for me without a problem. Totally happy with the results and would come back. read more

My appt was at 10. I arrived right on right on time and had to make myself comfortable in the waiting room for 1 hour (nobody came out during this whole time I was waiting to apologize for the wait or even acknowledge I was even there). At this point I was ready to leave. At 11, she finally came out with the client before me and took me in. There was also 3 other girls waiting after me. There appointments were as a result pushed back as well. Felt like my whole procedure was rushed and she didn't listen to what I wanted. I waited so long for an appt to see her after seeing her work and expected a tailored and personalized treatment but I got nothing like that. Overall I am disappointed and will not be going back. read more

The experience I have had with Nurse Megan is contrary from the previous reviews. I was having Juvéderm injected into my lips for a year before seeing Megan. I felt the product never lasted and even though I was told it should last 6-9 months, I was back every three month. I was also unhappy with the shape of my lips as they were originally asymmetrical. I decided to book with Megan to see if I could attain a different lip shape. I was so impressed with my first consult I couldn't wait to come back. Megan took around 45-60m with me which differed from my normal consult times ranging for 10-15 minutes. I didn't feel rushed, I was able to ask as many questions and I could. Megan thoroughly went through the risk list with me ensuing I understood possible risks and side effects. I spoke to a Dr on the phone, which was not Dr Aaron (can't remember the name) which I have done at previous clinics which is mandatory when you are a first time client with a nurse. This I believe happens yearly, not in every consult. I loved the results of my lips and the shape. Megan didn't use Juvéderm as she explained it notoriously metabolises fast. I was apprehensive but trusted her judgment. I'm glad I did as it's been 4 months since my consult and my lips look exactly as they did two weeks after the consult. I have had other procedures and asked about topping up my lips again. Megan is honest and has told me to wait in order to not over-do them and keep the portions of my face. She does not encourage injectables if you do not need them and I appreciate her honesty and integrity. There has been waiting periods from 10-30 minutes which is not abnormal. As a medical receptionist a practitioner that runs late is a result from late patients or taking extra time with patients. It's normal and unlikely you'll find any cosmetic clinic that is punctual. Overall I find Megan warm, friendly, bubbly and very knowledgeable. I've never left a review before but after reading the previous ones which completely contrast from my experience, I believed it was necessary I leave this. I will continue to see Megan for all of my injectable needs and recommend her to anyone who will listen. read more

Couldn't be happier. I first found Megan whilst scrolling through Instagram, from the first time I saw her work I knew, for a first timer (lip filler) I wanted to go to someone who had amazing results. I thought I would take the leap of faith (not really doing much research) and go to Megan. I honestly couldn't be happier with my results. Megan made me feel super comfortable and at ease specially since it was my first time I was a bit nerves. she was super professional and was happy to answer any questions I had. She was very prompt, I had arrived early but she welcomed me right away. I think I was There for half an hour, she was quick and gentle. It was literally painless. This could be a case by case thing but I didn't have any bruising and I had very minimal swelling Megan uses really small needles which I think really helps. I have since been back 3 times to have more filler (not that I really needed it but it becomes a bit addictive) and I have had anti wrinkle treatments as well. It is always such a treat getting my lips and anti wrinkle stuff done which I save to be able to do stuff like this for myself and it's so nice to know it's money well spent and it last so long! I'm talking like months and months! One more thing I wanted to note was Megan isn't the type who will let you over do it, my lips look natural but still full. She's will tell you when enough is enough and I really respect that. Thank you Megan xx read more

I had lip filler done twice previously by another Nurse in my local town but was very unhappy with the results and how long they lasted and looked. A friend of mine recommended going to Megan after having an amazing experience and told me stories of how happy she was. I decided to book the appointment when Megan was in Sydney next and made the FOUR HOUR drive down just to see her. And I am so happy I did! My experience with Megan was so amazing, she made me feel so comfortable, she was honest, calm, caring and was so professional. She really made me feel like a "client" rather than just money or another 30 min time slot. She took her time and made sure I was happy with everything she was doing. I just got back from my second time seeing Megan and I won't be going anywhere else in the future. I could not be happier with the results. She definitely makes the 4 hour drive well worth it! Thank you Megan! read more

Discovered Nurse Megan while I lived in the UK. Moved to Melbourne and then one day realised Megan was based in Melbourne. I was over the moon. After a lot of research into my treatments, I first visited Megan in September 2018. From the moment I met nurse Megan, I felt in save hands. She was very professional, informative and clearly very knowledgeable about the services / treatments she provides. I feel, she take great pride in her work and h delivers a very high standard of service. I have always had follow up apps with Megan and have always felt listened too. I genuinely would not trust anyone else now with my lips. She has completely sculpted my dream lips. Megan is creative and passionate about what she does. Highly recommend. read more

I have been seeing nurse Megan for so many years now and I cannot honestly recommend her enough. I tell everyone to go to her since I get so many complements in my lips, cheeks and whole face! She is so kind and down to earth and is so passionate about what she does. She will never over treat you and is so honest during the consultation. I have had three different fillers used and her products have lasted more than another injection I have gone to. In the past I have felt intimidated by the doctor and felt like they were just trying to up sell to me and wanted to charge $6000 when I didn't even need that much done as I was 23 at the time. Megan explained everything so clear to me and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face. read more

I recently went and saw Megan again as I was so happy with the result the first time. The first time she helped with reducing my masseter muscles, and it has improved greatly! I feel so much more chiseled and slimmed with my face. The second time, Megan helped with my gummy smile and it looks fantastic. I am no longer self-conscious when I laugh! During the appointments, Megan clearly explained every step, the risks, showed and explained what product she was using. She also went through after care with me in depth, and also reassured me that if I had any concerns, to reach her. Thanks so much Megan, I've recommended my friends to you! read more

I have seen nurse Megan three times now. I was beyond happy. My lips were botched before hand because I didn't do my research on the injector and found out they were injecting without a licence. Megan dissolved my lips and I didn't feel a thing!! She numbed me so well and I was so scared because I know it's meant to hurt so much. I had no bruising and the swelling lasted only an hour. She then refilled my lips and they looked so good a year later I had a top up and my filler held so well it didn't dissolve at all so now I have natural and full lips. I love my lips so much I have so much confidence in myself now!!!!!! read more

I got my lips done by Megan Handley for the first time roughly 2 years ago. A 1ml filler lasted me a year and I still had product left in my lips so I didn't need as much put in for my second time! The products Megan uses are amazing and clearly very high quality as they last for so long. Couldn't be happier with my experience :) read more

I use Megan regularly since moving to Melbourne. She takes the time every appointment to talk me through her products and is very clear about when to stop to keep things looking natural. I have never been upset with the results and have recommended both family and friends who now use her services for lip, cheek and jaw filler. read more
