What Dr Ricky Is Known For
Patients who seek out Dr Ricky’s care are generally not looking for dramatic change. They want to look well and rested, not different — and they want a doctor who understands the difference.
His practice is built around four consistent principles:
Restraint as judgement, not limitation
The aim is never to do more than is appropriate. Results should be noticeable to the patient without being apparent to others.
Structural assessment before treatment
Every consultation begins with an honest evaluation of the concern, the anatomy, and whether treatment is genuinely suitable — not an assumption that it is.
Male aesthetics as a distinct discipline
Male facial structure requires a different approach to female. Brow position, jawline geometry, skin thickness, and vascular behaviour all differ. Applying a standard plan to a male face produces results that look wrong. Dr Ricky has developed a specific clinical focus in this area, which is reflected across the clinic’s Male Aesthetics and Men’s Skin Rejuvenation pathways.
Long-term planning over episodic treatment
Skin quality, collagen support, and structural integrity are considered over time — not just at the point of a single appointment. This may include discussion of concerns such as facial sagging and skin laxity, skin quality, or hair restoration where relevant.
Qualifications, Teaching, and Professional Roles
Dr Ricky completed his medical training in the United Kingdom and Australia, with a background in internal and hospital medicine before focusing on aesthetic medicine.
He is a Fellow of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia — the peak professional body for cosmetic physicians in Australia and New Zealand — having passed the College’s formal examination and peer assessment process. He currently serves as Vice President of the CPCA, contributing to the ethical and clinical standards that shape the profession.
As a clinical trainer and Key Opinion Leader in Medical Aesthetics, he regularly educates other medical practitioners on advanced techniques, patient safety, and anatomy-aware treatment planning. He has presented at national and international aesthetic medicine symposiums, including the Non Surgical Symposium, Australasian Society of Cosmetic and Procedural Dermatologists (ASCPD) Conference, Merz Aesthetics Nurse Academy (MANA) Symposium, FRESH Conference and Clinical Aesthetics Symposium. His work includes recognition as one of Australia’s first cosmetic physicians to receive advanced training on Ultherapy PRIME on body indications.
These roles are not listed here as credentials to display. They are relevant because they reflect the standard of clinical thinking that informs every patient consultation at Eleventh Heaven.
The Consultation — What to Expect
Initial consultations at Eleventh Heaven are typically allocated up to 60 minutes.
This is not a sales appointment. It is a medical assessment. The time is used to understand the concern properly — what is driving it, whether it is amenable to treatment, and if so, what approach is most appropriate for the individual’s anatomy, skin quality, recovery tolerance, and goals.
Not every consultation results in a treatment recommendation. Where a treatment is not appropriate, or where the degree of change a patient is seeking is better addressed by a different pathway — including surgical referral — that will be discussed openly.
Related areas that may be discussed include medical aesthetics, Ultherapy PRIME, facial sagging, male aesthetics, and hair restoration, depending on the concern being assessed.
Safety, Suitability, and Saying No
One of the most important aspects of ethical aesthetic practice is the willingness to decline a treatment when it is not appropriate.
At Eleventh Heaven, this is not a reluctant exception. It is a clinical standard. If an assessment determines that a treatment is unsuitable, unlikely to produce a natural-looking result, or carries risk that is not proportionate to the potential benefit, Dr Ricky will say so — and explain why.
Patients are never pressured toward a decision. Risks, limitations, and realistic expectations are part of every consultation, not disclosed at the end of one.
Related Areas Commonly Discussed in Consultation
Depending on the concern being assessed, consultation may include discussion of the following areas:
- Male Aesthetics — anatomy-aware planning for male patients
- Men’s Skin Rejuvenation — skin quality, redness, pigmentation, and a fresher appearance
- Facial Sagging Treatment — lower-face heaviness, skin laxity, and structural support
- Ultherapy PRIME — doctor-performed structural tightening where appropriate
- Facial Volume Support & Balance — structural assessment and facial proportion
- Lines & Wrinkles — consultation and planning for facial ageing concerns
- Hair Restoration — doctor-led assessment and long-term planning
FAQs - Consultation with Dr Ricky
What is a cosmetic physician?
A cosmetic physician is a registered medical doctor who has chosen to focus their practice on aesthetic medicine. The distinction matters because a medical doctor brings a broader clinical foundation — including anatomy, pharmacology, risk assessment, and medical management — to every treatment decision.
What is Dr Ricky Sia’s registration number?
Dr Ricky Sia is registered with the Medical Board of Australia. His AHPRA registration number is MED0001887205.
Is Dr Ricky Sia a Fellow of the CPCA?
Yes. Dr Ricky Sia is a Fellow of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia, having completed the College’s formal examination and peer assessment process. He currently serves as Vice President of the CPCA.
Does Dr Ricky treat male patients?
Yes. Male aesthetics and men’s skin rejuvenation are specific areas of clinical focus. Male facial structure requires a different approach than female, and this distinction informs how treatment is planned for male patients at Eleventh Heaven.
Why are consultations up to 60 minutes?
An accurate assessment takes time. The 60-minute allocation allows for a proper evaluation of the concern, the anatomy, the treatment history, and the goals — without rushing to a recommendation. For some patients, the consultation concludes with no treatment plan at all, which is also a valid outcome.
Will treatment be performed on the same day as a consultation?
In some cases, where clinically appropriate, a straightforward treatment may be performed on the day. In most cases — particularly for more involved planning — patients are encouraged to take time to consider the recommendation, the risks, and the alternatives before proceeding.
Will results look obvious?
That is always the intention to avoid. Treatment at Eleventh Heaven is planned to be consistent with the patient’s own appearance — supporting a fresher, more rested result without looking different, treated, or unlike themselves.
Does Dr Ricky teach or train other practitioners?
Yes. Dr Ricky Sia is a clinical trainer and Key Opinion Leader who regularly educates other medical practitioners on anatomy-aware treatment planning, advanced techniques, and patient safety. He has presented at national and international aesthetic medicine events.
What if Dr Ricky decides a treatment isn’t right for me?
He will say so directly and explain the reasoning. Patients are never steered toward treatments that are not appropriate for their anatomy or goals. Where a different pathway makes more clinical sense — including doing nothing — that will be the recommendation.
Do I need a GP referral to book a consultation?
No. A referral from a general practitioner is not required to arrange a cosmetic medicine consultation at Eleventh Heaven.
How far in advance should I book?
Availability varies. Due to Dr Ricky’s teaching and clinical commitments, his schedule can book out several weeks ahead. Contacting the clinic early is recommended to secure a preferred time.
