Re-do Breast Augmentation:
I had my first augmentation surgery in December, 2006. When I began looking into having a redo surgery, I knew that I wanted to find a top surgeon to address my concerns. Dr. Pousti’s name was mentioned on more than a few online resources and I found the reviews to be overwhelmingly positive. After doing even more research and reviewing his hundreds of online before-and-after photos, I decided to schedule a consult. I am a long-distance patient, so I followed the instructions for “flying in for surgery” and wrote an email containing my photos and concerns. Next, I had a phone consult scheduled with Dr. Pousti. He was incredibly genuine and caring on the phone. We discussed my problems and he gave me hope that my concerns could each be addressed. After I got off the phone with him, I began to cry because I just felt so comforted by his him and knew that I had chosen the perfect doctor.
Dr. Pousti’s staff was very supportive and connected to me in the weeks before my surgery, helping arrange all the pre- and post-operative appointments, reminding me of things to bring and answering any questions that came up. My pre-op appointment was thorough and I felt like I was the only person in the office (even though I could tell Dr. Pousti is a busy man!). His staff was attentive, smart and supportive. When I met with Dr. Pousti, he again made me feel extremely comfortable in his capabilities as we made a plan for surgery the following day. He has an amazingly caring and patient demeanor both with his patients and his staff.
My surgery was the following day. I was even more nervous than I had been for my first surgery, but I was confident in Dr. Pousti and knew that I was in good hands. Everyone from start to finish was professional and pleasant. I felt like I had a whole team standing by my side and holding my hand through each step. Once in the recovery room, I was surprised to have a lovely bouquet of flowers from Dr. Pousti and his staff on my bedside table. I truly felt cared for and even pampered throughout the entire procedure.
Dr. Pousti did an amazing job on my surgery. He is obviously a master at his profession. I am happy with so many aspects of my new breasts, especially my cleavage which I was told by a previous doctor that I would never be able to attain due to my body structure. They are truly perfectly sculpted breasts and I thank Dr. Pousti and his amazing staff from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend Dr. Pousti to anyone considering a breast surgery, be it a first surgery or a subsequent. He is a master and in combination with his gentle spirit, you simply cannot go wrong in chosing him as your doctor.
Breast Augmentation:
For several years I have been contemplating breast augmentation. I am a mother of 3 and have breast fed all the children so I lost a lot of fullness in my breasts. Not to mention i’m naturally thin and have little breast tissue. I finally decided that I was ready to have the procedure and so I started searching for a plastic surgeon. I searched on the internet through many and many plastic surgeons pictures and none were as impressive as Dr. Pousti. I knew from the start he was the one I was looking for. I immediately emailed him pictures and quickly received a phone call back. The staff was so welcoming and caring from the very beginning. I was nervous about traveling to have the surgery and coming home because I have a 2 year old. But I’m so happy I made the decision to travel to his office. Everyone at the office made sure that things went as smoothly as possible. Dr. Pousti was very caring and made me feel very comfortable and assured me that he would achieve the results I wanted. He gave me quality time in his office not like so many other doctors that just rush you out after a few minutes. He made sure all questions were answered and that I was confident and worry free going into surgery. Dr. Pousti told me what to expect after surgery. They called and checked on me after my surgery several times. My experience with his office was awesome. I have recommended Dr. Pousti to several of my friends who were looking for breast augmentation. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. If I ever want anymore procedures done I know exactly where to go. Anyone who is looking for a wonderful plastic surgeon should definitely call Dr. Pousti I promise your search will be over and you will be thrilled with your results.
Love to all,

Labial Reduction :
Having an extended labia minora always seemed like just one of those things I had to deal with in life. I didn’t know it was something I could change. I was a teenager when it first started to bother me. It extended the length of the outer labia, so it would rub on my underwear. This would often make me sore and obviously very uncomfortable. I was very self-concious about it. When I became sexually active it was not only embarrasing to have longer labia, but was also somewhat painful. I was searching online when I found that a procedure was available that could reduce the length of my inner labia. I gave it some thought and knew that it would be well worth it for me to rid myself of this issue. I had the procedure done and I can honestly say the pain wasn’t too bad. I’d compare it to having stiches after giving birth. Sure it’s sensitive for awhile, but very manageable. I am currently 2 months out of surgery and feel wonderful. I don’t have the embarrasment that I used to, or the discomfort from things like walking and riding a bike. Even though it was a sensitive subject to discuss at first, I am really glad I chose to have the procedure done. It’s not something that can bother me anymore!
~ Tera 27 year old from Portland Oregon
I’ve had a wonderful experience so far with Dr. Pousti and his staff. I live in Portland, OR and was seeking out a plastic surgeon to perform a breast lift with augmentation. I found Dr. Pousti online and although he was out of state, he was exactly what I was looking for. I am a perfectionist and I could see that Dr. Pousti paid great attention to detail. The gallery of before and after photos was enormous. I spent hours browsing and I realized that I needed to meet him. I arranged a trip to California to meet the Dr. and his wonderful staff. I had all my questions answered and was very impressed. I returned home to Portland and knew I’d be back to California for Surgery.
I had just had a baby so I had some weight to lose before I wanted the procedure done. The staff called me every few months to see how my progress was going. I loved that they were so supportive. When I was ready to commit to surgery they helped me sort out everything. I chose to have a breast lift w/ augmentation, as well as a labia reduction. I was back in California before I knew it! Both procedures went very well.
I’m only 2 1/2 months out of surgery so I still have a lot of healing to do. I’m excited about my results and I feel so much better. It was definately worth it. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!
Thank you Dr. Pousti for giving me my great new look. You have helped me to achieve a level of confidence I never thought I would have. This was something I’ve wanted for years and years. A huge thank you to your staff as well (especially Daisy)! They truly do treat your patients like friends. I appreciate all of you!
Testimonial:
Dr. Pousti and his staff are the best! I found Dr. Pousti on the Internet after having had two consults with plastic surgeons in my area. I wanted a specific outcome with my results and thought I should try a consult with Dr. Pousti to see what his professional opinion was. Living in Oregon, deciding to make a trip to San Diego for a consult sounds crazy. There were times I wondered what I was doing!
I called Dr. Pousti’s office and found everyone I spoke with VERY friendly and helpful. It isn’t often everyone you come in contact with in one office are ALL friendly and helpful. I felt totally at ease about my decision after speaking with Erica. She gave me all of the information I needed and even scheduled a consult appointment and a surgery day for me. I had more questions and was able to e-mail the office and Margie was always very prompt in returning with a response.
It was SO EASY to set everything up with Dr. Pousti’s office. My husband flew down with me and we had the consult appointment and Dr. Pousti told me he would be able to give me the look I wanted. I had saline implants placed under the muscle in 2002 in Washington, and I wanted to replace them with larger silicone gel implants. I did not want to have a lift and the two previous surgeons said I would need a lift with the replacement. Dr. Pousti was able to assure me I would not need to have a lift and he would be able to give me cleavage!
The surgical center where the surgery was performed was great. All of the staff there were friendly and calming. I came out of recovery very easily and felt great. Dr. Pousti spoke with my husband right after surgery and told him how everything went, and what to expect. It was the best surgical experience ever.
Dr. Pousti is the best plastic surgeon I have met and he is a master at performing surgery. I wouldn’t hesitate to see him for any surgical procedure. Often times, you give up “bedside manner” in place of getting a good surgeon. Not in this case. He is a wonderful, caring, compassionate, attentive, patient man AND a great surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Pousti to anyone who is thinking about a plastic surgery procedure. It was WELL WORTH the trip to San Diego!
Many thanks to Dr. Pousti and his great staff for a job well done!
