Sorry here are the 1 month pics


1 month post op

Just had my 1 month post op appointment and I couldn't be happier!! I can move out of the compression bra and even got the steri-strips removed... Life is good!

I can't reiterate how wonderful Dr. Pousti and his staff are. This process has been painless (emotionally and physically) which I am so thankful for.

THE SEARCH FOR A PS:
I started my journey for a breast augmentation over 3 years ago. I was looking for a very natural BA, I work in a professional environment where I sit at a table with a lot of executive and wanted to keep my presence focused on my work ethic and not my breasts! I did my research and found a couple reputable surgeons in my area that I consulted with. After my visits I had decided on one and put down my deposit, not a month later did I get cold feet and canceled my procedure! I couldn't get the thought out of my head that I wouldn't end up with something I did not want (too big) and be stuck with these huge breasts! Not only did the surgeon at the time not even bother to convince me that it wouldn't happen he happily cancels my case as if I was just another number!

So for another 2 1/2 years I went with out my BA. assuming I would never find someone who I would trust to give me what I was looking for! Until I met Dr. Pousti!! He had just fining giving my friend a "mommy makeover", and although she opted for larger breasts his work ethic and attention to detail (and cleanliness) impressed me!! He tends to hold the reputation of performing XL BA so that frightening me a little but during in my initial consultation the way he listened and took me step by step on just how he could achieve my goal I knew he would be my PS! Now don't get me wrong I still worried (I'm a natural control freak) and each time I did he offered me the opportunity to come in and talk with him which I took! Each visit was as amazing as the first, he never contradicted himself and didn't just say what I wanted to hear; cause he would never promise me what cc I would get (since that depended on my chest wall and other factors) but would guarantee he could get me the look i wanted!! I pushed and pushed for 300-325cc after trying on the testers and seeing myself on the virtual TV but again he said focus more on the look!! That was hard to get away from for me cause I just had to know what exactly was going in me before hand...let me tell you I put him through it with questions, reassurance and so on.... He was a trooper!!

I did take the advise of his staff and my girlfriend and make a poster board of what I was looking for and what I dreaded!

Let me take a minute and talk about his staff; Not only are they all HOT!! But they are a great group on women; professional, accommodating and on top of it!! You can tell they take there job seriously and are the back bone of his office and they all work so well together!

DAY OF SURGERY:
I showed up at the surgery center about 2 hours before my procedure! The location was clean and professional very much like his office however it is not managed my Dr. P! The preop process went smoothly... Everyone was very sweet and ensure they had the right patient with the right procedure! Working in a medical facility I know the importance of that! I met with the Anesthesiologist who too was amazing! Dr. P met with me about 20 mins or so before my procedure to mark me up and go over my "wishes" again!! And it was smooth sailing from there...they walked me back to the OR strapped me in and I woke up with new boobies!!! The first thing I did was ask HOW MANY CC's?? With the great humor about Dr P was he wrote it right on my chest knowing I would ask I'm sure!!

I went home about an hour after recovery that was the hardest part. I never do well on anesthesia so I had my typical nausea and vomiting but I used the meds I got from Dr. P and most of day one post procedure was a blur.

DAY 2-3:
I started to come too on the second day... Stayed on my meds to keep the pain tolerable even though it wasn't so bad! So my second day I spent in and out of sleep on a 4 hour cycle. On day 3 I decided to get off pain meds as I'm not a fan. I began to run a fever mid day; I called his office to inform them and they stayed on top of it from there calling and checking on me the throughout the day making sure I was taking my deep breaths and walking around. Thankfully I had an appointment the next day so I wasn't really worried. All and all the pain was tolerable and I stayed comfortable!

DAY 4 - THE REVEAL
My first post op appointment. I was super excited to see the new boobies. I was good about not taking off my bra so I didn't get a peek. I have to say on the exterior I knew they weren't too big cause I didn't nearly full out my surgical bra but it was still nerve racking. Once the gauze was off and I got a look I was beyond happy. They looked great, even with the swelling and them not falling into their pocket yet the size was nice!! I can't wait to see them at their final stage!! Dr. Pousti gave me just what I was looking for a nice,natural, proportional breast to fit my body!! I couldn't be happier!!

I'm sure he is known for his big boobies and does those well too but if ur looking for a natural breast he is amazing at those too!!
