WORTH IT
Mark won me over from my initial consultation. He was kind, he was funny, he was realistic about expectations but most importantly to me, he is an advocate for loving the body we are in, even the imperfections.
Baldy, as the nurses at the hospital affectionately called him, is highly skilled at what he does, but he does not push for unnecessary surgeries, in fact, he will be more likely to try to talk you into learning to love (or at least accept) those areas that you may not like..because they are part of you. Some people won't gel with that...those that strive for perfection no matter the cost, but it resonated with me.
My story, I lost 43 kilos after bariatric surgery resulting in lots of sagging skin. After a consultation with Mark i settled on the two areas that bothered me most, my stomach and arms. Sure I have excess skin elsewhere, but after talking to him, I realised I am still a 43 year old woman who has lived life, and it's ok to have areas that aren't magazine-perfect.
I had my surgery at Francis Perry hospital (part of the Royal Womens) and the care was first rate. I had my brachioplasty and FDL abdominoplasty with no complications aside from needing my drains in longer than expected for my stomach(apparently I'm extra juicy), but even then, Mark's team of nurses were there for me every step of the way, whether via a phone consult to put my mind at ease, or additional appointments just to monitor my progress. All at no extra charge.
Today I had my 6 month check up and both Mark and myself are extremely happy with the outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark for anyone looking for a skilled surgeon in Melbourne, and should I one day decide to have further surgery, he would 100% be the surgeon i call upon to do it!
