Some Riverside Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Patients Shares Their Experience With Dr. Tom Pousti

After three kids and many years of being self conscious about my abdominal. I was very unhappy about the way I looked. There would be no way I could wear a swim suit! I no longer felt sexy in my clothes. I decided to look into plastic surgery. I did four months of daily research on Abdominoplasty (tummy
tuck) as well as finding a great plastic surgeon... I wanted the best Dr I could find. I was not going to spare any cost on my life. I wanted to know all the possible risks. I wanted to know I was going to be safe and in good hands. I didn't want any surprises. I looked into all the possible complications...Since I had a lot of stretch marks my biggest concern was necrosis,
death of tissue cause by insufficient oxygen. The risk of necrosis is bearly there. Smoking can make the risk of necrosis increases dramatically. Luckily for me I'm not a smoker. Scaring was not an issue for me. I would rather have a scar I can hide under my lingerie then the fat, loose, ugly hanging skin that I could not hide. The scar will heal, fade and flatten in time. So after months of searching I found Dr Pousti he was a little far from my home but I wanted the best. I following all of Dr Pousti's orders. I didn't want any secondary
infections. At my consultation with Dr Pousti he made me comfortable he took his time, he answered all my many questions. His staff was very kind and friendly. I knew I would be safe with a plastic surgeon that is double board certified. The worst part of surgery for me was the waiting for the big date and the not knowing how bad the recovery pain will be... If any question came to mind, I could call the office and they where happy to answer my question ... The day of surgery they eased my mind. I wasn't scared going in one bit. I knew I was in good hands. The first 24 hours was the hardest for me. I didn't have any pain thank God. I had a pain pump and pain pills that I took on time and didn't wait to see if any pain would kick in. I did have tightness due to the muscle repair I had, but no pain. I was off my pain pills at day four. Dr Pousti made sure I would not be uncomfortable. Dr Pousti recommend I stay in an after care center called Julie's Hideaway its about 5 min's away from the surgery facility. At the Hideaway I was spoiled. They took very good care
of me as well as my husband. Dr Pousti even made a house call to me at the hideaway which was very comforting to me knowing I didn't have to make a trip to his office so soon. Other than having a back ache my recovery has been
great, very easy. My results are remarkable. I would do it again tomorrow. Repeat! I can't believe how easy my recovery has been. I don't know why I didn't do this along time ago. My confidence is high. I feel sexy again. I looked
good in anything I wear. Everyone says I looked absolutely fabulous. And lets not forget about my tiny cute belly button. Not to mention I have a waist again. This is a great feeling! I have my body back again after many, many years! Dr Pousti you are one incredible man. Thank you from the bottom of my
heart.
Dr Pousti, Margie, Angela, Vanessa and Staff you are the greatest! Thank you for caring about me. I will never forget any of you. I will be back for future procedures you can count on that.

Sincerely,
Gina from Riverside California

Just a quick note to thank you for your referral to Dr. Tom Pousti, I am six months status post abdominoplasty and love the results.

Dr. Pousti is a very well qualified surgeon and has an excellent rapport with all his patients which is a plus when it comes to this type of surgery. He and his staff were knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or concerns I had.

Also the Grossmont Surgical Center's staff and facility were so professional, which gave me a sense of confidence in terms to my care.
