My weight loss journey began 5 years ago and with that came my journey and struggle with my excess skin. The more weight I lost the more skin sagged around my tummy. I visited 3 surgeons and could never commit to having the procedure done. One day I asked my mother to call Arc plastic surgery and get some advice. An appointment was made for me to meet with Dr Bloom. A few weeks later I met Dr Bloom and decided within 2 minutes of meeting him that he was the surgeon I wanted to transform my body. Dr Bloom has separated my procedures into 2 separate operations. The first one being completed on the 18th July 2014 which was my tummy, back, chest and thighs. The next procedure will be my Breast, buttocks and arms at a date yet to be set with Dr Bloom. There is no one else I would allow to do these further procedures on my body and I would recommend Dr Bloom without any hesitation. The results only 2 weeks out from surgery are absolutely amazing and I can already tell scar visibility will be minimal. Dr Bloom visited me daily, even on Saturday and Sunday. His positivity is infectious and his staff are so professional and friendly. The whole experience has been pleasurable. Thank you Dr Bloom.

UPDATED FROM Blondie16
2 years post

2 years later breast implants and back lift

Blondie16
It's been 2 years and I am one week post op from implants and a back lift done by Mr. Bloom, I didn't update that a year ago I ask had my arm lift done with Mr Bloom also in 2015.
So I will update both procedures starting with last years arm lift.
Mr Bloom updated and informed me about the whole procedure, what was going to happen. It was completed at Cabrini Malvern.

A year on from the arm lift, with superb results, here we with my breast implants and back lift. This procedure was done at Epworth Hawthorn and I must say the hospital was brilliant, the ease with this hospital was noticeable from Cabrini. When I had my arms and TT done at Cabrini I had to get marked at Mr Bloom office the day prior, with Hawthorn it was sooo easy, I had my room straight away, It was private, Mr Bloom and Mr Robertson were able to come straight to my room and talk to me about my own room prior to surgery. My family we able to sit there and the nurses were very attentive. It added to Mr. Blooms overall professionalism and my experience. The result that Mr Bloom achieves are second to none, I could not be any happier with the transformation of my body that he has completed. I trust him completely. Mr. Bloom doesn't decide without his patients input about what he will do, he has very lengthy discussion about the desired out comes and he is extremely realistic about what can be achieved. I can not recommend Mr Bloom highly enough. He's a brilliant surgeon but more than that he's a warm and wonderful man.
But to the point, My breast look amazing (I will update with photos) I had terribly deformed breast and now for the first time EVER my breast look amazing. My back lift is brilliant from what my mum tells me I can't see it yet but it looks good from what I can see. Thank you Mr Bloom you really have changed my life. I am sure I will be seeing you again shortly.
