Eight years ago I had a breast augmentation; and I...

Eight years ago I had a breast augmentation; and I loved it at first, but later as my life and body changed I started to regret it.

I started doing some research on the internet about breast implants and realized that it was possible to have the implants removed permanently, even though my original surgeon told me that I could never not have implants. By reading the positive testimony's of other women who had their implants removed, I started considering this for myself and eventually made the decision to do so.

I started to look for a doctor I felt I could trust to do the implant removal and found Dr. Pousti. It has been a great experience from the very first contact with his office. Dr. Pousti and his entire staff are extremely caring, kind, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and attentive. They took time to listen to my concerns and answer any questions I had. Dr. Pousti gave me different options to consider and it was decided that I would have the implants removed with a minor reconstruction to raise the breast fold up to where it should be as it had dropped with the weight of the implants.

I had my surgery a few weeks ago, was well cared for and made as comfortable as possible. I also had confidence that I was in good hands with Dr. Pousti, the nurses and his anesthesiologist. I'm still recovering and have some bandages, but so far I'm happy and pleased with the results. There was some anxiety of not know what the outcome was going to be as every body is different, but so far the results are better than I had hoped for. In a few more weeks I will follow up with Dr. Pousti and possibly have the rest of the bandages removed where I can better see the results of the reconstruction work he did to raise the breast fold, and I'm hoping for the best.

I highly recommend you contact Dr. Pousti's office if you're considering any type of breast surgery. My experience so far has been nothing but positive, and even my husband, who is extremely cautious, particular and discriminate about things and people, likes Dr. Pousti and feels the same as I do about the entire experience.

I will try to come back and do an update of this after more time has passed and I have the final results.

My interactions with Dr. Pousti have been nothing but positive. He's a very kind, caring, and attentive doctor. I found him to be knowledgeable, experienced and skilled. And he has trained his office well. I've never had a better experience at any doctors office than I've had at Dr. Pousti's office. I highly recommend him.
