This 45 year old patient from El Cajon, California needed to have revisionary breast surgery. She was not happy with the mal-position of her breast implant after her first breast augmentation (that was performed by another Plastic Surgeon in Southern California). She did A LOT of research and found Dr. Pousti. After meeting with Dr. Pousti, she felt very comfortable with his experience level and they decided to proceed with bilateral revisionary breast augmentation.

Before Surgery

She wanted better position of the implants... Dr. Pousti performs "markings" the night before surgery. These markings are a "guide" for Dr. Pousti while in the operating room.

In the operating room, Dr. Pousti takes care to achieve the patient's results.

A supportive bra is worn for support of the area..

This patient is post-op revisionary breast augmentation surgery.

Testimonial:

I don’t think words can ever convey the gratitude I feel towards Dr. Pousti. But I will try. Two years ago I had breast augmentation by a PS whose work I had actually seen on a couple of women. I had wanted to do this for years; unfortunately, I did not do any research and went in with blind trust. Within three months, the left implant slipped out of the pocket. Any time I would slightly recline or lay fully on my back, the implant slid into my underarm. I lived with it for a month more and finally went back to the original surgeon. He said he could fix it so 7 months after my original BA I went in. I knew the minute I woke in recovery something was wrong. It hurt worse than the original BA. When he took the bandage off the next day I wanted to cry. He cut through (I’m pretty sure, even though I’m no doctor) all my tissue on my chest and pushed the implant into the midline of my chest. My left nipple was now on the side of my breast. He admitted to “over-correcting” and said if it didn’t get better he would try to fix it. I should have walked away, but I didn’t. So, 4 months later, he tried to correct the position. It was unsuccessful. And this time because of the damage he did to the tissue down the center of my chest, I had a lot of rippling. I hated to even look in the mirror, let alone have my boyfriend see it. Then to make matters worse, the doctor said there was nothing he could do about the placement of my nipple and that I should just remove the implants all together because no one would ever make me happy. That’s when I found Dr. Pousti. Google search after Google search turned up Dr. Pousti time and again. I made the appointment and knew right away he was the one that could fix it. I had three appointments at his office before the surgery. I was always made to feel so comfortable by all the ladies in the office. (Daisy, you are a dolly, so nice always) Dr. Pousti would humbly reassure me time after time that he would make it better. I was so nervous the days leading up to my surgery. But that day, everyone at Alvarado was so nice and made me feel so comfortable and confident it would work out. One of the things that really stick out in my mind on my surgery day is that when he walked into the room to meet with me and make his marks, he introduced himself to my boyfriend as Tom Pousti. Never once did he even use the word Doctor. He is such a humble man. I admire him tremendously for that. There was never any sign of ego. Two days later when the special bra came off at my post-op, I cried. And cried some more. I could not believe how great it looked. The results are beyond my expectations. My boyfriend was a tremendous support through the entire two-year fiasco and when I showed him the results he said he hadn’t seen me smile like that in a long time. Said I was actually glowing!! I’m still smiling. If you are reading this, you are most likely considering having breast augmentation or corrective surgery done. Look no further than Dr. Pousti. The man is a miracle worker in my book. I am grateful beyond words, to the doctor as well as everyone in the office because they are all wonderful. If you’ve never gone through a botched plastic surgery, it is hard to explain the guilt, shame, embarrassment and myriad of other feelings you have because of it. I am so thankful that I have my self-esteem back. I feel confident again. And I don’t get sad anymore when I look in the mirror.
