How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Thrilled with my Flat Tummy!
I am 57 years old and I had two C-sections about 25 years ago. I have wanted to do this procedure for a long time and with the encouragement of my partner I decided to finally get it done. I am thrilled with my flat tummy. I feel like I am 20 years old and I will be able to wear a bikini again!
Dr. Bloom and his team have been amazing to work with. Dr. Bloom spent a long time with me during the consultation explaining the procedure in detail and the recovery. This was my only consultation and I was confident Dr. Bloom was very experienced and I would be in good hands. I was nervous the morning of the surgery, however the team at Epworth made me feel comfortable during the whole process.
The procedure went smoothly and when you wake up you will feel very tight and you will have the binder on. I had read a lot of the reviews and I had a couple of friends that had the procedure so I felt prepared for the recovery process. You need to be patient and make sure you have nothing planned for at least 4 weeks after the procedure. I am on week three and I feel better each day. I still cannot stand fully upright, but my tummy is so so flat that I am thrilled with the results and I can be patient for the fully recovery. My tummy is still swollen and I still can't do much.
Here are my tips for recovery: Rent a reclining chair. You won't be able to sleep flat in your bed and getting up is very tough the first week. I slept in the chair for the first two weeks and it's great because the chair tips you out so it is easy to get up. The second item you need is a shower chair, especially the first two weeks. You can't stand up straight but you will be able to sit down and shower. Get cough drops - you won't be able to cough, sneeze or laugh so have those cough drops handy.
Other things that are talked about on this forum that you may want to know about are drains, and pain management. I only had the drains for two days and there was no pain at all when the nurse removed them. The pain is very manageable with the meds from the doctor. Mostly there is a lot of discomfort that lessens each day. You feel incredibly tight the first week and you wonder if you will ever stand straight again, but you will!
I highly recommend Dr. Bloom and his team!
