WORTH IT
I decided to get a breast lift and liposuction due to losing 40kg which left my breast extremely saggy and deflated.

I had attended three other consultations with well known surgeons around Melbourne and decided on Dr Richard Bloom. Out of all my consultations he seemed the most confident to achieve what I was looking for. I found him to be incredibly informative, and I felt comfortable around him. Initially I was yes implants and a lift in the same surgery, he advised me it would be better to get the lift first and once healed to have implants, that this would achieve a much better result. I am glad I took the advice because I love my results. I booked in surgery straight away after having my consultation. The process was easy to understand and well explained by his assistant.

Surgery day came, and his team and the hospital staff kept me informed the entire time right up until I went under. The process from checking in to surgery was very quick! No waiting around which was awesome. I woke up some hours later and surprisingly I was in no pain! The only discomfort I felt was the garments, and only because they're were tight fitting and made it hard to manoeuvre. I stayed in recovery to see Dr Bloom before I discharged. There were no complications and I was sent home. I did not take pain killers and felt no pain during recovery. Slight twitches and sensations as healing went on but this is normal.

I can't fault Dr Bloom in anyway, he has a special talent in correcting symmetry in the breast and I found him to be a pleasure to deal with. His staff at RE Plastic Surgery are always available for questions during recovery.

My breast are now perky, full and very even! I was worried about odd looking nipples, but he did and incredible job!!!! I love my breasts so much. They fit nicer in clothing and bikinis and I don't have to tuck the skin in anymore!

As for my liposuction, my midsection now has a more even silhouette and curves. I couldn't ask for a better result.

I am due for my 8 week post op appointment and I cant wait to be cleared to return to normal exercise. So far recovery is coming along really nicely!

Thanks Dr Bloom and Team at RE Plastic Surgery

Hey! Welcome, and thanks so much for sharing your story with us. Congratulations on an awesome result! Your photos are amazing :) If you could give one piece of advice to someone considering the same procedure, what would it be?

Hi Sheila, my one piece of advice is don't be hesitant about the scarring, the results far outweigh these scars. Choose a surgeon who specialises in breast lifts as it's way different to getting implants. Don't choose surgeons based on the cheapest, and go with your own judgement of the surgeon you feel most confident about. There are tons of opinions from people online and reviews but at the end of the day every ones body is completely different, and we all heal completely different! Results will vary!

Wow...your results are great!!...Does this scar...from the areola to bottom...does this become fader or its always visible?

Those scars are very very new, only 6 weeks, not even completely healed. I haven't started scar management yet, as I haven't got the final all clear from the surgeon. Scars mature at about one year. I'm sure the vertical scar will still be visible but not as angry and red as In this photo. For me, the scar outweighs the look of my breast before. I had a lot of excess skin that was hanging out of my cleavage before, now it is a firm looking cleavage.
