Eight years on…

Good things take time - and this is especially true when it comes to healing. This patient underwent tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery with Dr David Sharp; this photo shows her abdomen preoperatively, and eight years later, with scar maturation.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, following postoperative instructions, proactive scar care and a predisposition to good scarring have all been integral to her results.

Every person’s goals and surgical journey are unique and a thorough consultation is required to determine if tummy tuck surgery is suitable for you. To take the first step and find out more, call our patient support team on 3202 4744.



Fast abdominoplasty facts:
• Surgery time: 1.5-2.5 hours
• Hospital stay: 0-5 nights
• Time off work: 2-3 wks if sedentary, 6 wks if active
• Time off driving: 2 wks
• Support garment: 6 wks
• No exercise: 6 weeks
• Drains: yes
• Item number/rebates: may apply for medical reasons, post weightless or pregnancy
• Revision risk: ~5%

A tummy tuck might be suitable if you’re experiencing:
• Abdominal core weakness
• A distended or bulging stomach after pregnancy
• Re**us divarication / muscle separation
• Loose, stretched skin
• Back pain

Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we remember Dr Sharp’s father, Noel. Though he passed before David began studying medicine, his encouragement shaped the father and doctor David is today.

Now a proud dad of four daughters, Dr Sharp carries those lessons of love, hard work and perseverance forward.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures who make such a difference.

And big happy birthday week wishes to Dr Sharp! 💙🎂
