Breast Revision Testimonials

San Diego Breast Revision

I am completely pleased w/the result that I received w/Dr. Pousti. Not only is he amazing, but his staff is as well. I felt as though I was not just a client but also more like a friend. He even held my hand while I was being put to sleep it meant a lot. I received a load of confidence not only in my daily activities, but also my work environment. I feel as though I am a totally different person thanks to him. I recommend him every time someone asks me about my enhancement. It opened the doors to more opportunities that hadn’t been offered to me before. Thank you very much Pousti and staff; you’re amazing.

Thank You Card

After many months of planning and saving, I finally got my new 800cc babies (o)(o)!!

I travelled from the Gold Coast, Australia just to see Dr Pousti. Hubby and I planned a wee bit of a holiday around the surgery..so it was all worth it making the trip.

I had contacted Pousti late last year by sending him some photos of myself and goal photos. I had 800cc silicone in my mind, but when he spoke with me over the phone he recommended that I don’t get fixated with a number, but concentrate on the look I am wanting to achieve. He suggested possibly getting 800-1000cc with an internal bra due to my bottoming out issue.

I had a pre-op consult a couple of days ago. After meeting with me, he felt 800cc silicone moderate plus and an internal bra would be ideal for the look I wanted to achieve.

I am now taking it easy back at our hotel and am on my second day of recovery. I have admit that it is more painful than my first BA, which I am guessing that it is from the internal bra. But overall it is nothing I cannot handle. I have a great husband who is taking good care of me :-)

I would highly recommend Pousti and his team to anyone and everyone. Every single person I have dealt with was extremely lovely and professional. The whole process was simple and helped making the distance from Australia worth it.

I loved the fact that Dr Pousti didn’t over promise anything and was realistic with me about anything that could happen. As he says, “your breasts are like sisters, not twins” which is so true in every aspect.

I feel so happy with the results and stoked that I got everything that I wanted


Testimonial:

Dr. Pousti has given me the best gift I’ve ever received – my confidence back. Four years ago when I was only 18, I had breast augmentation performed by another local plastic surgeon, Dr. Kincaid. Being so young and eager, I blew off the obvious warning signs that he was not a good surgeon and chose him anyway. Though I stated time and time again that I wanted a natural, realistic looking chest for my size, I ended up with breasts that were anything but natural looking. I knew right away that he had left me with symmastia, and despite trying everything I could think of to get them to separate, they would not move. This was devastating to me as it meant I had spent all that money to end up worse off than I was before. Instead of gaining confidence, I gained embarrassment and physical pain. I couldn’t wear anything low-cut and hated trying to find bathing suits that would cover up the center of my chest. I spent the next four years hiding behind bulky clothes so that no one would know the awful thing I was hiding. I even tried my best to keep them from my longtime boyfriend, who I had started dating before I ever had implants.

By the time I turned 22 I knew I had to do something about them. I started researching different techniques to fix symmastia online and found that most of the before and after photos I was seeing on various websites were all attributed to Dr. Pousti. When I saw the great reviews people had left for him, I knew I wanted a consultation.

The difference between Dr. Pousti’s office and the office of my prior surgeon is like day and night. The girls at the front desk are all very nice and helpful, and Dr. Pousti is always on time for appointments. From our first meeting I knew that I wanted him to be the one to fix my symmastia. I think I visited his office three times in five days early on because I had so many questions and concerns regarding my procedure. Even though I had emailed him my questions, he invited me in to his office versus emailing me back to make sure I got a clear answer I could be satisfied with. Dr. Pousti’s confidence in his ability to fix my symmastia gave me confidence too. He was even able to schedule my surgery with very short notice, since it would be the only time my work and school schedule would allow for two weeks off until the following year. It’s amazing to me how he went out of his way time and time again to help me during the whole process.

The day of my surgery I was surprising calm. Aside from a little nervousness about how much pain I would be in after surgery, I wasn’t nervous at all about the procedure going well – I just knew it would. Most people thought I’d be a nervous wreck, seeing as how my last surgery ended up so horribly, but my faith in Dr. Pousti’s ability was quite strong. He just has this way about him that’s very reassuring and calming.

The surgical facility was also excellent. The nurses there were very kind and understanding, and did their best to make me feel comfortable. Right before I went under, I had both a nurse and Dr. Pousti holding my hands as the anesthesia went in, telling me not to worry. When I woke up, aside from the pain and grogginess that is to be expected, I felt great.

Interestingly, my pain after my symmastia revision surgery was far less than the pain I experienced after my initial augmentation. The day of my surgery I went home and was climbing stairs and watching TV, and the day after I went out to eat. In fact, the hardest part of my initial recovery was resisting the temptation to take off my tape/bandages to see what my new breasts looked like, but I figured if I could wait four years, I could wait a few more weeks.

When I was finally able to view the results of my surgery, I was absolutely amazed. Before where my breasts had touched and puffed up now laid a smooth, flat area of skin. The size of the space was perfect, and even though I was still somewhat swollen, I knew Dr. Pousti had listened to my wishes that I not have too much fullness on top. Seeing my results literally brought tears of happiness to my eyes, they were that great.

Now, about three months post-op, my breasts are softer, rounder, and more natural looking than ever. I have been wearing my “thong” bra religiously, and have resisted the urge to wear a normal bra or exercise. I was having a little trouble massaging the implants as often as Dr. Pousti told me to at first, so to ensure they stayed soft he put me on an anti-inflammatory medicine that has been helping tremendously. Also, the space between my implants is still flat and smooth, with no tenting or rippling to speak of.

I can now wear any type of top or bathing suit I like, and my breasts look great. I recently went bra shopping and for the first time, it was a pleasant experience. My life is becoming more in line with how normal 22 year olds live – I’m going out more and have more confidence, and I am no longer put in awkward situations where my old breasts would have held me back. This operation was truly life changing, and I cannot say enough about the amazing job Dr. Pousti and his staff have done for me.

If there’s one thought I want to leave people with, it’s that selecting the right surgeon is the most important decision you’ll ever make. Dr. Pousti is so talented at what he does, and shows genuine concern and compassion for his patients like I have not seen with any other doctor. His ability to fix what most other surgeons told me was difficult if not impossible to do shows what a true professional he really is. I only wish I had met him four years ago, but I’m more grateful than anyone can know to have him as my surgeon for my revision. Thank you Dr. Pousti and your wonderful staff for changing my life for the better.

Dear Dr. Pousti,

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care and treatment provided by you and your team in connection with my Breast Augmentation – Remove and Replace procedure in February of this year.

Having spent greater than eights years working with renowned physicians surgeons throughout the United States as a medial malpractice defense attorney; it is my humble opinion that the skill level and degree of artistic perfection exhibited by you intra-operatively places you undoubtedly within the top tier of plastic surgeons. The trust and confidence that I intuitively felt pre-operatively were most certainly confirmed post-operatively by your polished work product, which incorporated, distinguished surgical and post-surgical techniques designed to maximize the aesthetic value of the breast augmentation. Likewise, the quality of care and concern exhibited by your team throughout this process further supports the conclusion that I am most pleased by the treatment referenced herein.

Based on the above, the decision to proceed under your care and guidance seems most obvious. Accordingly, please feel free to forward this correspondence, or to otherwise provide my contact information, to any prospective patients.

Advice to future breast augmentation patients………..from an extremely satisfied patient of Dr. Pousti’s!!!

I am not going to brag about Dr. Pousti and what an accomplished, skilled surgeon he is.  I’m sure you have thoroughly toured his website, read the testimonials and have familiarized yourself with his bio and his credentials.  Or maybe you are lucky enough to have met him and had a consultation already.  Either way,  you are already aware of his passion for what he does, and how committed he is in helping his patients achieve their desired plastic surgery goals.

I am however  going to tell you what sets Dr. Pousti aside from any other plastic surgeon…….he listens and he is honest.  He is extremely receptive to everything that you tell him and he is very straight forward and honest.  If he doesn’t believe that something is a good idea, or it cannot be successfully surgically achieved…….he will tell you straight up.  He’s not going to sugar coat anything or tell you what you might want to hear.    He is going to give you his professional and surgical recommendation that will leave you with a clear insight of exactly what your surgical experience is going to entail.  Some situations are easy, some are more complex than others…….some patients need a revision surgery, a  two-step surgery…….ect.  Whatever the case you will feel completely confident that Dr. Pousti sincerely has your best interest in mind.

Here is where my advice comes into play!

Dr. Pousti like any other human being can only listen to exactly what you tell him.   So make sure you think about your body and what you really want.  Rather than focusing on the amount of cc’s you think you need to achieve your desired bra size, or putting too much emphasis on the photos you see on his website or in magazines………..go out and buy the bras that you want to wear after your surgery.  Or buy the bathing suits that you want to wear, or a shirt you want to fill out.  I wear a 36DD bra in the Victoria’s Secret bras that I buy, but I have a few bras from Macy’s and Nordstrom’s that are a 36D.  EVERY bra is different!!!!  And keep in mind when looking at pictures of women with implants to gain better size perspective, the EXACT same size implants on two different women will look completely different.

I think most women have this misconception in their head that if they get a breast augmentation their breasts will come out looking like a playboy centerfold’s breasts……..I know I did!  Oh how I wish that were the case!!!  But the reality of it is that there are many factors on your body that will determine the end result of your breast augmentation.  The amount of breast tissue that you have to start with, the natural shape of your breast (round, tear drop, ect) weather you decide to have your implants placed on top or below the muscle, weather you chose silicone or saline, what style implant you chose (moderate, high profile, ect) and whether or not you need a lift. I know a lot of this can be a little overwhelming, and that is what Dr. Posuti is going to help you with.  He will make his recommendation based on what he thinks is going to achieve the most successful results for you and your body.

If you go into your surgery with realistic expectations, then you will come out with realistic results!!!  Good luck ladies!!!!

Dr. Pousti,

I am very happy w/ the results from my breast augmentation. I want to thank you for being a great listener of my needs, and also your input on what size I should go with, P.S. I’m glad I listened to you!!!! 800cc not so bad!!

Thank you again & again


Testimonial:

My 1st breast augmentation surgery was performed overseas 25 years ago!  I had silicone implants positioned over the muscle.  I developed capsular contracture and for that reason, together with the age of the implants, felt that it was time for revision surgery.

I did so much research on the subject, I felt like I had earned a degree on the subject!  Armed with this knowledge, I narrowed down my choice of surgeons to 3.  Due to the amount of experience Dr Pousti had in revision surgery, together with the glowing reviews about his personal demeanor, skill and professionalism, Dr Pousti was hard to fault and in the end, I made only one consult appoint with Dr P and that meeting was enough to make me comfortable enough to go ahead with the surgery.

I am now 12 months post op and am so happy with my results.  I was terrified that the end result would be bigger than I wanted, but he was exactly spot on with my desired size.

I drove 6 hours for each appointment to see Dr Pousti but it was definitely worth  it.  He is such a caring, gentle doctor and must admit that you can’t help but fall a little bit in love with him.  Hopefully I won’t develop capsular contracture again but I know if I do, I’ll be back to see Dr P for any future surgeries.

Thank you to all at Pousti Plastic Surgery for your expertise and professionalism always!


Testimonial:

I wanted to say thank you for the amazing job you did.I`m glad you decided to do internal sutures. I`ve noticed the difference as soon as I woke up from my surgery and people around me have noticed it too. When I found your web site about a year ago I was stunned at the results on your patients, but I never thought that one day I would take this step and fly so far away to have my breast done.  Your quick responses to all my emails and questions really suprised me . I could see that you and all of your team were definitely at ease with far away patients. Anyhow I decided to go and I`m happy I did.

Your warm personality,, the great team that works with you makes us feel secure even when we come from far away and are traveling alone (I had a wonderful nurse to take care of me by the way) .

Thanks again you truly are a one of a kind doctor.

I want to thank Dr.Poutsi for his excellence in patient care & bottom line incredible results. Equally impressive, the staff. I cannot say enough on how tremendously comforting & catering you all were. I was comfortable to call & ask any question no matter how trivial. There is no other practice like Dr.Poutsi & the team right down to the sugery center staff.

Forever a patient


Testimonial:

First and foremost I want to thank Dr. Pousti and his staff for such a positive experience.  Prior to meeting Dr. Pousti I had undergone two breast augmentation surgeries.  I had my first in 2005 and my second in 2007. In 2007 I maxed out what was the traditional “conservative” plastic surgeon’s recommendation with 800cc silicone implants. I loved the results but I went on to have two amazing daughters which I breastfed back to back in 2010 and 2011. My breasts needed some work.  They weren’t as perky anymore and I had lost some of my own breast tissue from nursing. I also had lateral displacement of my implants. Basically, when I laid on my back my breasts went into my armpits which left quite a considerable space in my cleavage area. I also knew I wanted to go bigger. Here is when the research started-I met with my former plastic surgeon and his opinion was that I needed a full anchor lift and all the scarring that came with that. I felt it was overkill and was saddened by the recommendation but I booked my surgery trusting his advice. After more thought, I decided to look into the option of over filled saline implants and maybe a little “pocket tightening”.  I first learned about Dr. Pousti from his AMAZING website.  The testimonials and photos said it all. I knew I needed to rethink my decision and have a phone consultation with him. I emailed photos (frontal and side) and he got back to me via telephone very promptly. To my excitement he told me he thought I didn’t need a lift. He also was willing to go as big as was safe for my body. I canceled my other surgery and put down my deposit for my surgery in San Diego. The website and staff had wonderful recommendations on which hotels they recommended their patients stay at and the hotels even offered a discount for being his patient. I was also given the name of a great after surgery recovery nurse who went on to do a phenomenal job of taking care of me post op for the first 24 hours. When I met Dr. Pousti for my pre op the day before surgery I instantly knew I had made the right decision to have my surgery performed by him. He is such a skilled, caring and kind person. At my pre op he recommended I have internal sutures placed to correct my implant displacement and promised he would take great care of me. I am absolutely insanely in LOVE with my new breasts. I would never trust my body to another plastic surgeon after meeting Dr. Pousti.  As a former model, I can tell you that I almost idolize the man for giving me back the breasts I had before having my children. I would recommend Dr. Pousti to anyone who wants the job done right. Flying out for surgery, especially alone, can be a scary thought but it is such a worthy investment. The moment you walk into his office-no matter the distance you have traveled-you will feel at home. Thank you Dr. Pousti for changing my body and my life.


Testimonial:

I had nearly a dozen consults over the years before I finally decided to have breast augmentation surgery in 2007 at age 34. I chose to have my surgery in Alaska where I live (basically for convenience). I was extremely unhappy with my results and my surgeon’s lack of desire to address my concerns. I finally obtained a second opinion and was told surprising facts about my surgery that explained many of my issues. I also received confirmation that the recommendations provided by my plastic surgeon were not going to solve the underlying problems. I was heart broken. I had many concerns going into this elective surgery. I had put much trust in my surgeon and felt betrayed by her. I wanted to have revision surgery, but was scared to trust another surgeon. I had been blogging on several of the popular plastic surgery websites and Dr. Tom Pousti’s name kept popping up. Patient after patient told their stories of surgery nightmares and how Dr. Pousti was able to correct their problems and restore their broken spirits. I could not ignore their testimonials, so I researched him myself and decided to go about planning the revsionary surgery. First, I e-mailed his office and was shocked to receive a call from Dr. Pousti himself the very next morning! I e-mailed pictures and we discussed the revisionary surgery a few more times over the phone. His office staff was extremely helpful and quickly responded to any questions I had regarding the surgery and planning my trip. I met with Dr. Pousti the afternoon before surgery and had a completely successful surgery in the morning. I cannot thank Dr. Pousti and his caring staff enough for all that they have done for me! My breasts are healing beautifully and the results already far exceed my expectations. Dr. Pousti has true compassion for his patients. This is evident in the manner in which he treats them and the skillful work he performs on them. He is an impressive surgeon and artist and a truly kind person. I would recommend him to ANYONE considering plastic surgery. He is definitely worth any amount of travel. His office now considers me part of their “family” and I am proud to be associated with such an impressive team!


Implant Exchange, Silicone Gel Implants, Breast Lift:

I first found Dr. Pousti in 2001 in my search for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Not only was he Board certified but double board certified. I was interested in a Breast Augmentation and was VERY impressed with his mastering art of Cosmetic Surgery. Every picture that I saw on his website was just beautiful.

Once arriving to my initial consultation and meeting Dr. Pousti I knew that he was the surgeon that was to perform my surgery. His staff is first class and helped me with anything and everything I needed. During the consultation he explained the surgery itself in detail and spent a good amount of time with me and answered all of my questions. I never felt like I was rushed or just a number. He really took his time with me and made me feel really comfortable. He is very caring, respectful, compassionate about his work, genuine, has wonderful bedside manners and is just an all around great man. We looked through pictures that I wanted to use as a guide and met with his actual post-op patients that were in the office. I really thought that the patients that shared their wonderful experience with me was ve

ry helpful. Before I left his office I knew that I had to schedule my surgery.

My surgery went extremely well. Dr. Pousti was with me the whole time through the morning of my surgery. I really felt like he cared and he even took the time the night of my surgery to contact me to make sure that I was doing ok. I was very happy with my results/experience and decided to go larger in 2002 with Saline implants. The 2nd time around was even easier then the 1st. My incisions were near to nothing. I couldn’t ask for a better surgeon to perform surgery on me and that’s why he performed my 3rd!! I am now 3 weeks post-op from a Breast Augmentation with a lift and switched to Silicone implants. After having the larger implants I decided that I wanted a little more conservative size and downsized and switched to silicone. The 3rd time around I can and will say that I still have the up most respect for Dr. Pousti and the gift that he was given. He does amazing work and will continue to do so. I am VERY happy with my results and can’t wait to see the end result.

Dr. Pousti does amazing work as it speaks for itself. I have and will continue to refer my friends and family to him.

Thanks Dr. Pousti!!!!


Revisionary Breast Surgery Testimonial:

I had surgery with Dr. Pousti in April 2010.  I have had several breast surgeries and I have to say Dr. Pousti was the best.  I had breast implants placed under the muscle for the first time,  he also revised my breast lift scars.  What I love about Dr. Pousti is that he listens to what you want and gives it to you.  My past Dr’s did what they wanted and I didn’t like the results.  I wanted small B cup implants and that is exactly what I got.  I traveled all the way from New Orleans for my surgery.  I would recommend him to any one who has a surgery that needs a revision of some sort.  My scar revision is on the way to healing and so far so good.  His office staff is also friendly & helpful.  Go see Dr. P and you won’t regret it!!

Revisionary Breast Surgery with Alloderm:

Dr. Pousti and Staff,

After suffering a serious injury to my pectoral muscle, I found myself in need of surgery and recognized, after evaluation by several other plastic surgeons, that my case would be difficult with an unpredictable outcome. I began to search for the doctor that would be the best to do the repair- I finally located you after extensive research. Your familiarity of the use of Alloderm as your replacement tissue and your amazing artistic ability has truly been my saving grace. My “revisionary” surgery has proven far superior and much more beautiful than my original breast augmentation. I wish I had found you years ago for the original implants, but I feel blessed to have found you now. My trip from Arkansas was so worth while! Wonderful staff- Awesome you!

Sandra O.

From the patient’s significant other:

I would like to express my sincere thank you for such a great job. The original augmentation was less than satisfactory and the injury sustained was drastic, as you well know and the results of your work outshine that tremendously. Sandra is very happy and as a result has a much better outlook regarding her appearance.. She was always great to me regardless and still is. I thank you once again for your skill and judgment in regards to sizing, shape, etc. I feel that you have captured the perfect essence of her femininity with your work, I am sure in the month to come as she heals that your work will only become better as well.. once again thank you for your time, patience, skill, and personal attention to her when she first contacted your office and staff. At the very beginning she was so distraught and after talking to everyone there became much more relaxed and assured that she was in good hands.


Revisionary Breast Surgery:

Dear Dr. Pousti and Staff-

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the compassion and quality service that I received while under your care. I could not have achieved the amazing look and feel of my ‘new breasts’ with any other office. I am extremely pleased with the results. Thanks a ton!

To Anyone Considering Revisionary Breast Surgery:

I had breast augmentation preformed about two years ago by a surgeon in North Carolina. Within a year of the surgery I began to have complications. I noticed a small bump forming beneath the skin on my right breast. Within a year the bump had grown and caused the breast to become misshapen and uncomfortable. It was even noticeable when I had a lined bra and clothing on. I later came to find out that the ‘bump’ was actually the implant pushing its way through my skin. I knew that I needed to have the problem corrected right away!

I was apprehensive about finding a surgeon that specialized in revisionary breast surgery. However, I had received many recommendations for Dr. Pousti and decided to schedule an appointment. From the moment that I met with Dr. Pousti I felt at ease with my decision to have my surgery performed by him. Dr. Pousti reassured me that he would to the best possible job to fix my problem. Within the month I scheduled the surgery.

After everything was over and done with I couldn’t have been more happy! My breasts looked awesome! The bump was gone and I could not believe how natural they looked and felt. I could hardly wait to show off my new ‘look’ to my husband.

Dr. Pousti and his staff did an excellent job and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. I appreciated their compassion and outstanding service. Dr. Pousti is knowledgeable and very skilled in his profession yet he is humble and truly cares about each individual that he works with. I am VERY pleased with my results!


Testimonial:

It has been ± 18 months since my procedure. As shown in the 18 month photographs, there has been some settling and swelling reduction since the 6 month photographs (as expected and predicted), and I have lost about 10 lbs. Implant placement seems to be holding in place (as was the intended purpose of Dr. Pousti’s procedure). Prior correction attempts were already showing signs of failure by 18 months, so I am still very pleased with my results at this point, and very optimistic of “long term” success provided by Dr. Pousti’s skills and knowledge.

My surgery was in the fall of the year, so at this point I have enjoyed my “new look” for one summer/bikini season. I did not tell friends and family of my corrective surgery, however several friends have commented on “how great they look”, or even asked if I had a “re-do”, or asked “where did you get yours done” as shape, volume and overall workmanship display signs of true professional! I truly believe breast augmentation is an art. There is a difference in a surgeon who performs augmentations and a surgeon who display his talent in the augmentations he performs.

Revisionary Breast Surgery:

“What can I say?” I’m extremely thrilled to be writing and sharing my happiness, and gratitude with my Breast Revision results. My first Breast Augmentation was six years ago, right before my wedding. Every woman wants to feel perfect on her big day. I was an “A” cup for the longest time and I remember since I was 14 years old wanting bigger breasts. I just knew I’d feel more like a woman, sexier too. My soon to be husband was extremely scared for me to have the surgery. Six months after our wedding, I got pregnant… Not enough time for me to enjoy my new, round and perky breasts. Did I mention that my husband loved my new boobies? I am 29 years old now. I have two beautiful children, both of whom I’ve breastfed uccessfully with the implants. But what happened to the shape of my breasts after the breastfeeding left me feeling depressed, and I also developed horrible scar tissue, the medical term is called Capsular Contracture. My scar tissue got so bad I had trouble sleeping at night. I am a very active woman. I’ve even

competed in the Boston Marathon. After finishing breastfeeding my son, I immediately went back to my doctor in hopes of him fixing my breasts. Come to find out he retired and a very prominent doctor took over his practice. I met with this doctor but I did not feel like he cared about me at all. He had a very fancy office, with all of his own paintings that he painted, hanging in every room. The staff was also very quiet, no smiles and they seemed unapproachable. I went to three appointments with this doctor dicussing my wants hoping to like him and feel comfortable with his approach in fixing my breasts. This doctor wanted to give me a full lift, and what

that means is a lot of scars basically. I left his office with a fancy price, and I was completely frustrated and confused as to whether or not I wanted this guy to do my operation. I decided that I was going to visit other doctors. During my hunt for the right doctor, my sister mentioned Dr.

Pousti’s name. That a lot of the women at her gym have seen him for various operations and were very pleased with their results. I was very afraid when I went into Dr. Pousti’s office. When Dr. Pousti came in the room to meet with me I just let it all out. I expressed to him my frustrations, and I asked him how do you know if you found the right doctor? I said I’m scared, I don’t know what to look for, I want this operation done right, but how do i know if you’re the right one? Dr. Pousti took me around his office and showed me his credentials and expl

ained to me what they meant, and he also took it a step further and had me meet with patients in his office that day only a week or two out of surgery, and I couldn’t believe my eyes how stunning everyone’s breasts looked. They were women of all ages. Dr. Pousti just kept bringing them in one by one. And the women shared with me there experiences with Dr. Pousti and how happy they were with there results. I needed a doctor to care about me, and to want to give me the best results. When he looked at me I could tell he was an artist, he cared deeply about his work and he told me, “I can fix your breasts without a lift.” “You are young and beautiful, and don’t need those scars.” I couldn’t agree more. I went home that night and told my husband that I had found the right doctor. I said that he took over an hour with me, talking with me, wanting me to feel comfortable with him, and that he even showed me several of his patients just out of surgery, and that I couldn’t believe how beautiful everyone looked. I said this is the guy I want to do my surgery. Dr. Pousti had his work cut out for him. He had to do a Capsulectomy( removal of the scar tissue) and Breast asymmetry and re-augmentation. The growing scar tissue had severly changed the shape of my breasts, so he had to reshape them as well. I couldn’t be happier today. I know I made the right decision in choosing Dr. Pousti. I have not only come to really liking Dr. Pousti, but his staff of women, his team, is amazing as well. I love all of them. We

talk about our kids, we laugh and share stories together, when I walk in that office, I am always greeted with a smile. I feel like a million bucks. Dr. Pousti and his wonderful team have helped improve the quality of my life. Thank you Dr. Pousti for taking the time to help me feel comfortable,

and confident in your abilities, and for helping me now love again, my new boobies.

Revisionary Breast Surgery with Saline Implants:

I just had my implants redone for the 3rd time since 1985. Third time was a charm with Dr. Pousti. I had silicone the first time, they ruptured from a car accident, had them replaced with saline. I wanted to go bigger but my old doctor at the time would not do it, so I was very unhappy with results.I was referred by family to go see Dr Pousti. They both loved him & were very happy with their results.

So I finally went to see Dr. Pousti, he sat down with me & listened to my every word. It felt good to be heard. I was very impressed with how he made me understand that it’s not the CC# its how do you want to look when we are done. He asked me to bring in pictures of what I liked and so I picked out photo’s ranging in 500 cc range. I ended up with 700cc to get that look.

If I would have gone into his office and said I want 500cc I would have came out very disappointed again. I am so glad I trusted Dr Pousti”s years of experience as I am very happy with my results. They look just like the pictures I had brought into him. Highly recommend Dr. Pousti if you are wanting a Breast Augmentation or Revision.

Revisionary Breast Surgery with Alloderm:

Hi to Dr. Pousti and Staff :) I could go on and on, but I tried to make this testimonial as concise as possible for future patients. First let me thank all of you from the bottom of my heart!! Thank you for caring the way that you have :)

I’m writing this for anyone considering breast augmentation surgery, or anyone who is coming to Dr. Pousti for revision surgery. I moved to San Diego in August of ‘06 and new that finding a doctor to do my revision surgery was a main priority for me. I had lived with a previous complication for two years with increasing difficulty as it kept getting worse and worse. The hardest part of the process for me was learning to trust a surgeon again after my past experience. I’m 23 and had already had two surgeries, and the amount of emotional stress I had for the past two+ years had worn me down. I found Dr. Pousti online and came in for a consultation within a couple weeks of moving here. After meeting with him, looking at pictures online, and reading patients testimonials, I knew he was the man for me!! (Not to mention his wonderful staff)

I had a pretty serious/complicated issue (take a look at the before and after pics!) I was pretty much hopeless that I would ever be anything but deformed… and yet Dr. Pousti. didn’t turn me away, instead he worked with me and did research on new techniques in breast revision surgery. He went out of his way to help me, and treated me like and individual person instead of a paying customer. I will be forever grateful for the extra effort he put into my case :) It’s now Feb ‘07 and I am more than a month out of surgery, the revision surgery went better than I could ever have imagined. He did an amazing job!!

One thing I would like to add because I think it is a common misconception with female patients, is about male surgeons. I know that after having a male doctor for my first two surgeries I was frustrated because I felt like men didn’t take the time to listen to me, and (with my young appearance) treated me like a child. So before meeting Pousti I had consulted with a female surgeon in the area thinking maybe that was the answer… I was wrong, she was actually worse than my previous surgeon, and made assumptions about what I wanted and didn’t want without asking me. In short, It’s not about a male doctor or a female doctor, it’s about the person.

I would strongly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery, honestly he is a very talented surgeon. If you are consulting with him because you are facing a revisionary surgery, he is someone you can trust, he’s completely honest, and he really does care about his patients. Best of luck with your future surgery :)

Dr. Pousti and Staff,

I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful experience of being your patient and my results are beyond my expectations.

I was so broken hearted when my first augmentation left me with a terrible case of capsular contracture in both breasts. My husband’s job was transferring us to California, and I had pretty much lost faith in my previous surgeon who’s PA was the only person I saw at any appointment after my augmentation, disregarded my concerns from early on. I started researching surgeons in California and came upon your site. I honestly thought you had to be too good to be true, mind you, I was skeptical of any surgeon by this point.

When we were finally settled in from our cross country move, I made an appointment to see you, again very skeptical of how it would go. I had so many mixed emotions about even having a second augmentation, but the contracture left me with constant discomfort.

When my husband and I entered your office, your staff was so warm and friendly. They immediately ushered me off to meet with a patient who was only a few weeks into her recovery, and then another. I was very impressed with that. There is nothing better than hearing experiences from an actual patient.

When the time came to sit and speak with you about my case, you took time to answer all of my questions, and because of my previous experience I left no stone unturned. You didn’t always tell me what I wanted to hear, you were very honest with me about what to expect. I asked you “What happens if I develop a contracture relatively soon again?” Your answer to me was, “If there is no pain involved, I suggest we do nothing, and if there is pain involved, I would suggest we consider removing the implants all together.” This was the point that my husband and I KNEW you were the surgeon for me. I felt as though you were putting the best interest of your patient before anything lucrative for yourself. YOU CARED! I wasn’t just another patient file.

I am six months post op, and I have remarkable results. I have gone from having a notable difference in symmetry, square, hard breasts to something that looks very natural on my frame. The few people I have shared my augmentation experience with have said they would have never known I’d had surgery by looking at me. You quelled all of my concerns, all my fears, and all my self-consciousness. I have several friends are interested in having cosmetic procedures, and I’ve referred them all to you.

Again, I can not thank you or your staff enough. From the time I first walked into your office, through my surgery (you have an impeccable bedside manner), and through out all of my post op visits, each of you has greeted me by name, even without my chart in hand, and have always been “First Class.”

Thanks so much for your understanding and royal treatment now and always!

Currently, I am taking Pilates classes, started a new cake business, and my surgery scars from 2010 are almost gone. In fact, since I saw you in January my breasts have continued to soften and look more natural now than they did. I think you would agree that Dr. Pousti did an excellent job on my reconstruction.

When I was considering getting breast augmentation redone, I was looking at a doctor in California I have seen on the television to do my surgery. Turns out he doesn’t do new surgeries anymore. Well, thank God he doesn’t because I immediately came across Dr. Pousti online and started researching right away. I had an instant feeling of comfort reading all the great experiences he had given his patients and seeing all the improved pictures they had posted. I literally ready every single thing on each case that I could see. My fiancée is the kind of person who wants to meet people in person before he decides to make big decisions, so we set up a consultation. We flew to California and met the staff and Dr. Pousti. I LOVE THEM AND SO DID HE! Not only did Dr. Pousti know what he was doing as far as having the education, and licenses…he was warm, friendly and funny. It was a winning situation all around. Vanessa was so easy to talk to and looked beautiful. Margie was the same we absolutely loved her! I think it really says a ton about the doctor how his staff operates and treats you. I had no concerns when I was in their office except when can we operate? I had breast augmentation in New York about ten years ago and was a bit disappointed in how it turned out. Dr. Pousti heard what I didn’t care for and changed it them to nice, big, even, round breasts that have awesome cleavage if I may so myself:) The coolest part is that I saw pictures of the labiaplasty and wanted that as well. The embarrassment of having extra labia I never wanted is now gone. I still can’t believe it…I am so happy! Praise God for Dr. Pousti and the way he treats and helps people feel more secure and beautiful. I feel lucky to have been led to him all the way across the country and would refer anyone I knew to him. I also loved the nurses that were at the surgery center; they were so easy to be around and gave me comfort and warm blankets and smiles right before I went under. I will say in my other operation I did not get treated that way in New York and that makes a huge difference when you are not herded around like cattle but treated as a special individual and guided gently. I will find time when I go back to California and stop in and say hi to the office, it’s just that kind of place:)

I came in to see Dr Pousti , for a Mommy Makeover. Having 3 kids all weighing over 9lbs; really took a toll on my body.  I would find myself exercising, and not losing my belly.  It was very frustrating. The day I came in for my consultation, I was immediately welcomed by his wonderful staff.  I really felt like I belonged there.  After meeting with the Doctor, My husband and I knew he was the one.  Dr. Pousti really listened to my concerns, and answered all of my husbands and my questions. (There were a lot of them.) The best thing about his office was the fact that I got to meet and talk to all kinds of patients that had the same things done.  We decided that I was going to have a breast lift with implants, and I full tummy tuck; which goes all the way around to my backside, to get rid of my muffin top. The day of the surgery came quick, and I was very scared. Dr. Pousti and the hospital staff were there letting me know everything was going to be OK. I felt so much better. The surgery was 6 hrs long and it went smoothly. The first week was very painful, and I don’t remember too much about it; other than it hurt. The time flew by very fast, and by the 6th day I didn’t need any more pain meds.  I am now 8 weeks out, and I not only feel amazing; but I look amazing as well.  I look forward to my appointments at his office. His staff is so warm and caring.  Dr Pousti did an amazing job on me. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. He is truly a gifted surgeon; A real artist. He has raised my confidence so much. I would recommend him to anybody. I feel very blessed to have had Dr Pousti to perform my surgery.

Its been a year since my mommy makeover; and I couldn’t be happier with my body. I look and feel great. I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon. A few months ago; Dr. Pousti noticed I had a small leak in my left breast.(It was actually a blessing in disguise.) He went in, fixed it, and made them fuller. :) Because I had a breast lift during my first surgery; I couldn’t go as full as I wanted without putting my healing at risk. (That’s why it was a blessing in disguise.) Needless to say; my boobs now look perfect. Plus the healing time was a piece of cake!!! I love my DR. and his staff. It may sound funny; but it’s true. The whole staff is very friendly and has always set the tone by providing a welcoming and comfortable environment. I always look forward to my appointments. I can’t thank Dr. Pousti enough for what he has done for me. He’s amazing. I feel BEAUTIFUL; and I haven’t felt this way in a long, long time.

Thank You ,

Hi !

I am from Canada  and I wanted to share how glad I am to have chosen Dr.Pousti to do my breast latest surgery . Last fall after a breast augmentation surgery (here in Canada) I wasn’t really satified with the results. After going on the web, I came across a few girls whom I really like the results of their breast surgery and then found out that their Doctor was Dr.Pousti. So I went to his website. I was really impressed but I thought that California was pretty far away from home for a surgery since I live in Eastern Canada.

But after inquiring with out of states patients, I decided to send an email. I was answered pretty quickly. After a few mails and a few phone calls with Dr.Pousti, I was conviced and decided to go along with the surgery. Everything went so smoothly, they accomodated me for the scheduled surgery, contacted me by phone and emails and then I flew in the San Diego area.

Dr.Pousti and his entire staff, are warm and friendly, very professional and Dr.Pousti was very honest about the result. The surgery went wonderfully well , the next day I was travelling around the town and felling just fine ! I was verry happy with the results (and still am after 3 and a half months). I feel that Dr.Pousty listened to my needs. Back home, Dr.Pousti and his staff checked  on me regulary and I always felt cared for even now so far from his clinic.

I am very happy I`ve decided to fly to California to have my surgery done by him. My only regret is not to have herd of him earlier. It would have saved me a lot of unwanted  surgeries to get what I wanted .
