Being 6'2 getting larger implants to me is very important to give me the large breast look on my larger frame. I got breast augmentation 5 years ago for the first time and the dr. I worked with wasn't very supportive of me wanting large breasts, I was younger and she made it sound like I would look like a freak. So that being said after the surgery I wasn't very satisfied. Since then I have been planning to go back and get my breasts done again and this time really go for it. Through research I was able to find a physician who is an expert in the field of XL Breast Augmentation, Dr. Pousti.
I am very excited about my procedure and will be doing liposuction along with it. I have never had lipo done before and so am curious as to how the affect will look on me.
Bring Pictures lots and lots of pictures!

Dr. Pousti told my husband he put 1180 ccs of overfilled saline implants. They did suturing because the bottom was filling more then the top. He also did nipple revision. I should be going in later today for him to take a look and talk to me about the surgery. Thankfully I haven't been to terribly nauseous except for early afternoon yesterday.
Great review?

My rating:
I found Dr. Pousti by doing research on expert surgeons in the field of XL breast augmentation. He had high reviews and great pictures of previous surgeries. My first visit to Dr. Pousti's office was great. His staff were very friendly, helpful, and sweet. Dr. Pousti is a very articulate, intelligent man who doesn't shy away from doing XL Breasts, which is why I chose to use him as my surgeon. Dr. Pousti was very straightforward with what he thought he could do, how he planned on doing it, and risks involved. Dr. Pousti is great at communication. We have met a few times before the surgery to really hone in on what I am looking for. He is very informative, tries to show what the result will end up like and is straightforward. He may have his own opinion but he definitely wants to make the patient happy, which I appreciate. His major concerns are health/safety and making the patient as happy as possible. Dr. Pousti was very kind and took his time with me the morning of surgery. He and rediscussed what was going to happen in the surgery. He held my hand while I went to sleep and came to check on me when I was waking up. He called personally yesterday evening while I was sleeping and spoke to my husband to check on me.
Good luck tomorrow, Fae. I hope your surgery goes well!
