After 3 children and a few years of waiting, I finally had my breast augmentation. 


On the day of surgery every person I came into contact with were wonderful and I was totally relaxed. You couldn't wish for better nurses or treatment. I felt like someone had jumped on my chest when I woke up but was informed it was just pressure and that really was the only pain I had. I didn't need the nausea medication I was prescrobed beforehand, only the pain pills for a couple of days.....I was pleasantly surprised.


I left the size up to Dr. Pousti to decide for my body type as I figured he has done this so many times and I trusted his judgement. I gave him a general idea I what I wanted to achieve and he did a perfect job in choosing my implant size. Be aware though, they change as the weeks go by but now, after 2 months, I have, what I consider (and my husband) to be beautiful, soft, perfect size breasts. 


I went with silicone as I preferred the feel and I couldn't be more pleased, you really cant tell I have implants. I have been asked on a couple of occasions, during my follow up visits, if I would mind showing my results to prospective patients, I immediately agreed. I am proud of my results and I am sure, if they decided to go ahead with the surgery, they feel the same way.

I chose Dr. Pousti because of the great reviews and the amount of information and pictures on his website. Yes, I looked at other surgeons websites, as most people would advise, but something just kept bringing me back to him. I knew when I was ready to go ahead, he was the one who would perform my surgery. From my first consultation, I was happy. The girls in the office are great and treat you like a friend. Dr. Pousti is professional yet funny and makes you feel very much at ease. Dr. Pousti is an artist in my opinion and I have no problem singing his praises. If I ever decided to any other type of surgery, he is my go to doctor. Thankyou Dr. Pousti for my fabulous breasts!
