SURGERY DATE: MAY 15, 2006 Before even meeting Dr. Pousti, I knew he was going to be the doctor for me. I was searching on the internet for Laser Hair Removal and Breast Augmentation (in San Diego) and found Dr. Pousti’s website. Just by his page alone, I was absolutely impressed. It was by far the most informational and helpful resource I’ve seen on plastic surgery. I picked up the phone and made an appointment immediately! Dr. Pousti and his staff are incredible…the most personable, caring, and friendliest people. I felt comfortable around them from the get-go. I went to Dr. Pousti’s office for months getting monthly Laser Hair Removal treatments. Great results! Breast implants were always in the back of my mind, but I did not care for them at the time. I was always half/half and on/off about breast augmentation for years. My overwhelming curiosity for ‘the other side’ finally took over and I was ready to take the plunge. In the fall of 2004, I had Breast Aug Fever. I went back to www.poustiplasticsurgery.com and sifted through all the Breast Aug pictures. Pousti’s before and afters are phenomenal. He has more photos on his page than anyone else dares to do; that is really a big statement. It means Dr. Pousti has nothing to hide. Not only is there a great variety (women of different colors, shapes, and sizes), but there are pictures in every angle! Some websites only show the work in one or two. I printed out the cases that related to my situation the best (women that had an AA cup size), and cases I did not like at all. I labeled my printout “DR. POUSTI’s BOOBS”, and brought it to my consultation. Haha! Dr. Pousti got a chuckle out of it, but it gave him an accurate idea of the look I wanted. And what I wanted was a classy breast size to fit my body. I definitely wanted to avoid looking overdone. In the cases I liked best, the women’s results were flawless! The cleavage, the centering of the nipple, the beautiful shape…perfect! The day of my consultation, I was able to meet a patient one-day post-op.
That was really thoughtful of Dr. Pousti. I never met someone who had
brand new breasts. They looked pretty great already, and they were only
one day old! I couldn’t wait to get them done. I scheduled a pre-op
and set my surgery day. Surprisingly, everyone still remembered me! It was like Cheers! They also kept my DR.POUSTI’S BOOBS printout from all these years! Dr. Pousti and I recapped on all my personal preferences, and set all the necessary appointments. Scars and recovery. It’s a different story every time you ask some one with fake ones. I constantly had worries of what story I was going to be telling. Nobody wants horrendous scars or that ‘ton-of-bricks-on-your-chest’ feeling we often hear about. I was very calm on my surgery day. I wasn’t scared or worried anymore, because it was all happening…finally. The prep-staff rocked! Dr. Pousti goes over everything again, and this is the time to really say your final words. When I finally woke up from “Anesthesia Land”, they let me take a peak at them two hours post-surgery. I was extremely grateful they weren’t up to my neck! I began to feel a bit nauseous as I was being rolled out to the car, but the feeling quickly subsided. My recovery was pleasantly a breeze! I really lucked out and could not be more thankful! I had no bruising and surprisingly NO PAIN! I got a chance to catch up on the latest movies and TV shows, and my friends pampered me like royalty. My incisions weren’t sealed with stitches, but rather special surgical glue. They looked like crusty scabs and fell off after a month. The scars are small and almost unnoticeable. I have a naturally tan complexion, so my scars as of right now are a tad lighter than my skin. Time, they assured, will eventually even it out. There was a little discomfort from the hideous surgical bra I had to wear for 3 weeks, but it’s part of the process. If you decide to do this surgery in the summertime like I did, you will have a hard time hiding the surgical bra with summer clothes. Also, they say some people lose sensation in the nipple, but I was just the opposite. My nipples were extremely sensitive for 2 months (especially in cold temps). Don’t worry though…IT’S ALL WORTH IT! I’d do it all again in a heartbeat =) ADVICE for OUT-of-TOWNERS: Not only does surgery cost a pretty penny, but the travel expenses add up as well. So far I’ve had two follow-ups since the surgery and there’s probably more to come. If you’re going to fly in for surgery, just take that into consideration. I have no complaints though…San Diego’s just around the corner and always fun to visit! Overall, Dr. Pousti’s work exceeded my expectations. My friends and family have described my new breasts as: “the perfect size for you” - “very classy” – “natural looking” – “you can’t tell they’re fake” – “they’re really soft for only a few months”…MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
