Melbourne's Tess Rowlatt, convicted of methamphetamine trafficking and dealing with the proceeds of crime, has been granted bail and has returned to the community. Following her release from the County Court, Rowlatt reportedly visited a cosmetic clinic for a lip enhancement. Media reports indicated she appeared refreshed, prompting speculation about cosmetic procedures, including a rumored breast enhancement.
Rowlatt, 36, had pleaded guilty in March. After months of incarceration and a previous unsuccessful bail application, she is now under court-monitored bail conditions. She is expected to stay at a four-star hotel in Melbourne. Rowlatt and her sister, Victoria, were seen smiling with Rowlatt's boyfriend, Timmy O'Dwyer, after the bail conditions were outlined by Judge Allen.
