Even so, I began having serious second thoughts a few days before my surgery date, but I went through with my breast lift and reduction surgery a few weeks ago, and I am so glad I did. I went from a sagging 36 DD to a 36B, and Dr. Pousti gave my new breasts a beautiful new shape, exactly how I wanted them. I am far happier with them than I expected to be. A week after the surgery, though, I did NOT follow his orders to not move my arms around for several more days, and one of my breasts did get seriously infected. 

Great review?

My Doctor: Tom J. Pousti, MD, FACS

Credentials, experience, honesty, warmth, smooth office management. I chose Dr. Pousti because of his credentials, experience, personality, and because I sensed his honesty and integrity. Dr. Pousti took the complication seriously and swung into immediate action, making himself available to me at all times. He provided first-rate care to see me through the infection, phoned me frequently at home to check on my progress, and made a point of trying to alleviate my self-blame. He's a pretty amazing doctor, and I wouldn't hestitate to have surgery with him again if I ever need it.

Thank you for sharing your review with all of us.  

I bet you are loving your new and perky "B"'s.    I sure hope the infection is all cleared up now.
