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.

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: Tom J. Pousti, MD

My rating:

Dr. cleaned out all the scar tissue from the capsular contracture, from both breasts, and replaced the implants with larger ones placing then under the muscle. I love my new look. Dr. P's staff is very pleasant and caring. I would recommend Dr. P to anyone who is thinking of having revision surgery.

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.
