I had my first ba done in 2003. I was never happy with them because they didn't have the fullness and cleavage I wanted. My original ps said it was because of the wideness of my bone between my breasts. I have been researching doctors for the last two years and read all about the internal bra and I knew that is what I needed. Dr. Pousti's name kept coming up during my research and I knew I had to have a meeting with him. The fist consult was great but I wasn't able to financially do the surgery just yet. I had to wait another year and a half. Met with him again last may and was able to schedule my surgery. I am now 3 days post surgery and so far from what I can see under all the bandages is the cleavage I have been wanting!!!!! I have my post op appointment tomorrow and I can't wait. The only negative experience I have had was his office staff not contacting me with surgery and appointment time changes. Since I have a three hour drive to his office it is important to me to be contacted with time changes.

Had my first look at the sisters and it was everything I could hope for!!!! I am very happy with my new cleavage. It's really hard keeping my arms pinned to my side but I know worth it it the long run

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! How many cc's did you get in 2003? And how many do you have now? Did your PS mention the condition of your old implants? Was the size and cleavage the main reason you had your revision or were there other issues with your older implants? I have heard a lot of positive feedback regarding the internal bra. Glad you are happy with your results so far. Congratulations and looking forward to your updates!

my first surgery I got 425cc and never had the cleavage I was looking for. My first dr said it was because of my anatomy and having a wide breast bone. This time around I did saline 600cc overfilled to 720 and with the internal bra it gave me the cleavage I desired. Thanks for reply.
