Testimonial from a “fly in” patient:
Hi !
I am from Canada and I wanted to share how glad I am to have chosen Dr. Pousti to do my latest breast surgery . Last fall after a breast augmentation surgery (here in Canada) I wasn’t really satisfied 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 e-mails and a few phone calls with Dr. Pousti, I was convinced and decided to go along with the surgery. Everything went so smoothly, they accommodated 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 traveling around the town and feeling just fine! I was very happy with the results (and still am after 3 and a half months). I feel that Dr. Pousti listened to my needs. Back home, Dr.Pousti and his staff checked on me regularly 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 heard of him earlier. It would have saved me a lot of unwanted surgeries to get what I wanted .

Dr. Pousti has a large number of patient’s flying in from different towns / states to have their procedure performed by him. Many people find La Jolla, San Diego Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Pousti on the internet and want to know how to get started from out of state. We try to make the experience smooth and easy. Some of our patients come and visit the sites in San Diego such as the world famous San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Cove, Downtown Del Mar, Old Town San Diego and Sea World.

This is an actual patient of Dr. Pousti.
STEP ONE:
E-mail us with your concerns along with some digital photos of the areas in question. Dr. Pousti will review your e-mail and photos and discuss your options with you either via e-mail or phone. At this time, we will also be able to give you a price for your procedure. Our office does provide financing options for our patients and would be happy to review those with you.
STEP TWO:
If after speaking with Dr. Pousti you decide that you would like to proceed, a few e-mails will take care of the rest of the information that we will need. E-mail your personal information along with the dates that will work for you. Once the surgery date and pre-op date (usually a day or two before surgery) have been confirmed by both parties, payment options will be discussed (payment is due 4 weeks prior to the procedure to reserve the time at the surgery center). Payment can be in the form of cashier’s check or credit card.
We can give you information regarding hotels accommodations, nurses to help after the surgery, etc..so that everything is settled before you arrive. When you arrive for your pre-op visit, we will have paper work for you to review and fill out. Dr. Pousti will perform a thorough examination and discuss everything in great detail with you. If at the time of your visit Dr. Pousti decides that you would not be a good candidate for the surgery, your payment will be returned to you and surgery will not be performed.
STEP THREE:
Dr. Pousti strongly recommends that patients stay in La Jolla or San Diego for a minimum of 5-7 days after surgery (different procedures require different lengths of time and we can discuss your specific situation when the time comes). Our office staff will work around your schedule to get you into the office for your post-op visits. We ask that you keep in contact with us via e-mail and if you return to La Jolla, San Diego, or Temecula, please pay our office a visit (we love to see our patients as often as possible).

Out of Town Abdominoplasty Post Op Care Instructions
Patient Recommendation:
This is a letter of recommendation for Paulla Weddle. She is the Executive Director of Reliable Recovery Inc, a post surgery care outfit that takes care of patients and all their needs after cosmetic surgery.
I chose Reliable Recovery based on a recommendation of Dr. Pousti, who was to perform a abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) on me, not exactly a walk in the park! From the minute I first talked to Paulla, I could tell she sounded like a person who was committed to first class care of patients just by the tone of her voice, very soothing. Whether you choose your house or a local hotel to start your recovery, you can be sure that your time with Paulla will pout you at ease. She is professional, with the knowledge necessary to provide the care that people expect in a time that can be very stressful.
The best way to describe the care given by Paulla, would be compassionate and kind, almost like having a friend taking care of you that also went to nursing school! Imagine your best friend at your side in time of need, giving you the peace of mind sometimes only a friend can give. You feel safe and secure knowing that the person caring for you is committed to getting you better because of the friendship you share.
After my time in the first days of recovery, the peace of mind came easily because of Paulla’s constant attention and companionship. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering employing a recovery service in the initial days after their cosmetic surgery.
Sincerely,
D.Rhoades
Testimonial from a “fly in” patient:
My surgical experience with Dr Pousti & his staff has surpassed even my highest expectations. Everyone has gone out of their way to make me feel informed, comfortable, and confident with my chosen procedures. I had what is commonly referred to as the ‘mommy make-over’. (Technically I had a breast lift, tummy tuck & lipo-suction in the surrounding areas)
Dr.Pousti has a unique way of making the patient feel beautiful even before there is any actual surgery done. He and his staff were very thorough when explaining all of my procedures. Before the surgery we looked at photos together to make sure my expectations would be in line with the actual results. Everyone was very receptive to questions and extremely honest in their feedback.
Post surgery, Dr Pousti & his staff have been so accommodating. Being from out of town, for the most part we communicate through email and over the telephone. Each of my questions have been answered promptly. When I do need to come into the office they make every effort to work around my travel plans.
While I am still in the recovery process I am already thrilled with my surgical results! My breasts have been restored to their beautiful youthful selves. From top to bottom, my clothing fits me so differently, that I feel as though I have a new wardrobe.
I can not thank Dr. Pousti & his entire staff enough for all they have done & continue to do. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering a ‘Mommy Make-Over’.
