Breast Implant Deflation and Removal with Mastopexy Completed in Two Stages - La Mesa, CA

I was tired of my implants and didn’t want to have to undergo any future surgeries, so I decided to have my implants removed and a breast lift without new implants. I wasn’t terribly concerned with what my breast size would be after the surgery and knew that there would be a substantial loss of volume and fullness. I felt that the benefits of not having backaches, headaches, difficulty exercising and finding clothing and bathing suits, was well worth it.

During my initial consultation with Dr. Pousti we discussed the limitations of the procedure I wanted and what method would help me achieve the best results. My PS recommended I have the procedure completed in two steps, first by deflating my implants and giving my tissue three months to bounce back before completing the implant removal and lift. One of my biggest concerns was correcting asymmetry and by giving my skin a chance to tighten back up my PS would be able to complete the lift without having to do as much guess work over what was tissue and what was implant, resulting in a better outcome.

I had my implants deflated in May and my surgery in September. I am at about five weeks post op and could not be more pleased with the results! I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Pousti and his Team. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helped guide me through the entire process.
