Almost 2 Yrs Later...

It's been almost 2 yrs since my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I went to see my surgeon, Dr. Tom Pousti for a follow-up. I have to say, every time I go to see Dr. Pousti, I am treated with such kindness, respect and feel like the most special woman on the planet. The entire staff is kind and helpful. They are such a wonderful and beautiful group of ladies. Thanks to Dr. Pousti, I have the wonderful looking breasts and flat belly I've always wanted. Due to his expert technique and explicit post-op instructions I did not have any complications and the results are everything I could have hoped for. If you are the least bit unsure about having a surgical procedure, go see Dr. Pousti. I know you won't be disappointed.

Seeing results

Today I decided to begin sorting through my closet. Since I had implants that increased my cup size from B to DD, obviously several pieces of clothing would no longer fit. I held one of my favorite dresses and wondered, would it fit? I always had to wear a nice push-up bra for it to fit. To my amazement it fit better than ever! My tummy looked so flat and straight and my breast looked so full and perky without a bra. It's gonna be like a shopping spree today, having fun going through my closet to see what still fits..but most of all what fits better than ever.

I have been a nurse for 32 yrs. As a senior/chief nurse I have a great deal of experience with the many facets of medical care. After conducting extensive research and a couple of cosmetic surgery consults, I decided I wanted to consult with Dr. Pousti for a silicone breast augmentation with limited lift and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). I was very nervous about undergoing such extensive surgery at age 52, but once I consulted with Dr. Pousti, I knew there was no need to look any further. I have never seen a surgeon give so much personal attention and dedication to ensuring a patient's comfort and satisfaction with the process of surgery and desired outcomes. Dr. Pousti's staff both in the office and the surgical center are caring and professional. I flew in from out of state for my consults and surgery. I am 18 days post surgery date and have since return to my home state. I'm looking forward to the final results in the months to come, but I can say without reservation, I'm glad I chose Dr. Pousti. Keep in mind that having both procedures together is quite an undertaking. Interestingly enough, the week after my surgery I met a woman who flew in from overseas to have the same surgery with a different surgeon...I was amazed at the poor preparation, and unrealistic recovery expectations "the other" surgeon provided to her. After that, I was convinced more than ever Dr. Pousti was the right choice. The better physical health you are in, the smoother your post operative recovery will be. Discuss your procedure(s) and recovery with your surgeon in detail. Do the research so you understand what your procedure and recovery will realistically entail...then go see Dr. Pousti...and enjoy the new YOU!
