WORTH IT
Letting Mother nature take it's course now, no more tape!
I did wear micropore tape for 2 months 24/7 & think it has really helped with my scar healing.

Richard Bloom performed my surgery 6 weeks ago and the results have exceeded my expectations. During consultations I found him to be very thorough, professional and his easy going manner put me at ease when I felt quite nervous about the procedure. The post surgery care he provided was great, during my hospital stay (Cabrini Malvern) he would drop by to check in each day (even on weekends) and I felt I could always contact him if needed. I am beyond thrilled with my results, my tummy is trim, taught and terrific and, even at 6 weeks post op, looking very natural. The care and precision he took with the scar placement is much appreciated, the scar is thin, low and more than hidden by my bikini bottoms (which are quite brief!). I would highly recommend Mr Bloom and ARC Plastic Surgery.

scars 6 weeks post op

I'm very happy with my scar healing and placement (it's nice and low and easily hidden by my bikinis).
My scars are still raised, ropey and there are a couple of spots that are taking a little longer to heal, all normal for 6wks post op. Can't wait to fast forward to when they fade and flatten!

Do you mind me asking the cost of the surgery please?
Sure, I had 2 surgeries at the one time, an arm lift and a tummy tuck. The total for both was $12,000 aud.
