I Am So Glad I Had Breast Revision Surgery

ORIGINAL POST

I had my first breast implant surgery 20 years ago...

I had my first breast implant surgery 20 years ago. Shortly after I developed a capsular contracture. After living with it for many years I finally decided to have it corrected and have my implants replaced with larger ones.

I spent many hours researching plastic surgeons, looked at hundreds of before and after pictures, read numerous testimonials from patients and consulted with two other surgeons.

I could not be happier with the results. It's only been about six weeks now since my surgery, but I could not be happier with the results.

I just had my consultation with him. I am still hesitant to do it though. Did it hurt?

The recovery time was about 10 days before I went back to work. As long as I took the pain medication every four hours it kept the pain under control. Within a few days I didn't need anymore pain killers. The recovery went very well. I am so glad I had it done. Good luck.

If you can't have Dr Pousti do your revision surgery be sure to do your research on the surgeon you choose. But I would fly to San Diego have have Dr. Pousti do because he did such a wonderful job with me.

My procedure was for labia minora reduction. My labia was dark along the edges, with uneven sides (one side having a cluster of tissue that was bigger than the other). The uneven sides caused period blood to always stain my underwear, so I had to put my pad towards the side. It also somewhat interfered wit...

All I can say is Dr. Pousti is amazing and by far exceeded my expectations!! For the longest time I wanted to do this procedure but the thought of going under the knife in such a sensitive area freaked me out. After months of looking into this surgery I came across Dr. Poustis page. I was instantly impressed...

So far, so good. His preop was amazing and there were many returning patients who loved their results and were back for more. I would most likely need a lift elsewhere but he recommended that if I want such a large implant it would not be possible with a lift and the implant itself will lift my breasts. I opt...
