This is a 40 year-old mother of two from Lake Matthews, California who
was very excited to get back the body she had prior to children. She
first came to see Dr. Pousti in March of 2006. She was very impressed
with Dr. Pousti and his staff. It didn't take long at all for her
decide that he was the plastic surgeon for her. Two days after her
initial consultation the patient came back for her pre-operative
visit. At this time all pre-operative and post-operative information
is reviewed with the patient in great detail. Medications and
post-operative care instructions are also reviewed. The patient's
surgery was nine days after her initial consultation.
The patient came to Dr. Pousti with bilateral breast hypoplasia, diet
and exercise resistant adipose tissue of the abdomen and abdominal
wall laxity. Dr. Pousti explained to her that she had the option of
either breast augmentation alone or breast augmentation with a lift.
She was a better candidate for a lift but because the patient was
choosing to go with larger implants (480cc on the right and 420cc on
the left), had plenty of breast tissue to start and was certain she
did not want the scars associated with a lift, an augmentation alone
was performed. In the end she was very pleased with the results
obtained. A lift was not necessary for her to achieve a beautiful
natural breast enhancement.

An abdominoplasty was performed to remove excess adipose tissue and
excess abdominal skin. Because of her pregnancies the muscle walls had
separated. During an abdominoplasty the muscle walls are repaired. And
in most cases liposuction of the flanks is also performed. This gives
the patient that beautiful hourglass waistline she had prior to child
bearing. And as you can see from her post-operative pictures the
patient had every reason to be very satisfied with the end results.
She has since referred many of her friends to Dr. Pousti. For this we
are very appreciative, as most of our patients come through word of
mouth.
The patient spent her first day post operatively in a nursing facility
here in the San Diego area. They picked her up from the surgery center
and took excellent care of her in those early hours after surgery. This
was a decision she didn't regret. They were able to answer all of her
questions, and show her all of the things she would need to do at home
to continue caring for her self. Dr. Pousti followed her very carefully
with post-operative phone calls and office visits. He even visited with
her in the nursing facility the night of surgery. The patient is always
willing to share her results as well as experiences with Dr. Pousti and
his staff, with new patients who come in to our office. So feel free to
come by for a consultation and perhaps you will get to meet with her or
one of the many other very satisfied patients.

PATIENT'S TESTIMONIAL:
Hi there, I'm Stephanie and I'd like to
tell you all about my experience with Dr. Pousti and his staff.
I'm 40 and I've been fighting with my
midsection area for quite some time. With dieting, losing weight and
working out nothing was getting rid of it. I'm a very active person
and this was getting to the end of my frustration. I looked online,
met with Dr. Pousti's office and was convinced he was the one. Not
only is the office professional but they also make you feel so content
with the steps of going through the process not only physically but
also mentally.
This decision should not be taken
lightly and Dr. Pousti is the doctor to pursue this procedure. They
are always there for you and attentive to your needs and concerns.
With my procedures, questions, recovery, follow-ups, etc., they all
were great!
I'm so thankful I found his office! I
can't imagine not. I also ended up have a breast augmentation along
with my tummy tuck. His outcome on the breasts he does is amazing.
They all look real. That was so important to me. So, what the heck, do
it all at once.
The boob job was a piece of cake.
Actually the tummy tuck too was fine. Healing takes time and that's
what it took! But WOW!! The outcome is great. I've never felt so good.
I did this for me and it has made me feel so good and inspired me to
keep working at me. Not to mention, but my husband doesn't mind
either!!
I don't know how to thank Dr. Pousti and his staff for all they've
done. I refer everyone to Dr. Pousti. I have a few friends that are in
line to be next and have seen what I've been through and are at ease
to follow my steps with Dr. Pousti. Thanks Dr. Pousti and the girls.
Whoever reads this you will have piece of mind with Dr. Pousti and no
regrets on the decision with choosing him! This was a great experience
and well worth it. I promise!!!! Take care!
