For as long as I can remember I have wanted this procedure. I was originally a smaller B (which is fine) but I had some slight weight gain and loss (20-30 pounds...nothing crazy) in high school and because of that I felt that my breasts weren't as full and perky as I would have liked. This caused a lot of insecurity for me personally even though most people didn't understand or agree. I also felt that my breast size wasn't in proportion to my body type (hips were wider). This procedure was 100% a personal choice and something I decided for my own self esteem.

I finally decided to look into it and follow through with it and after looking/asking around I decided to go with Dr.Pousti. From the very first time I stepped foot in the office I felt comfortable and at ease. Was able to talk to patients and staff that had the same procedure and all of my questions were answered. Size was a concern at first. I did not want anything too large and I wanted them to look as natural as possible. Dr.Pousti along with many other people all told me to go bigger then I thought I should and in the end I just showed A LOT of pictures and trusted Dr.Pousti and his staff with their own judgement. I couldn't be happier now and I definitely recommend to go bigger then you think. I originally wanted 250-300 cc's and I ended up with 465 ccs and I can't imagine being ANY smaller. So thankful I listened to Dr.Pousti and his staff and had many conversations about it before making my decision on the size.

The overall outcome is better then I ever could have imagined. I was worried about nipple size and felt like I might freak out about how they look afterwards but everything is better then I could have hoped. I wish I would have done it sooner! This has truly been a life changing experience for me and my self esteem has sky rocketed. I just feel like everything is proportionate and I feel so much more confident in my body. Great feeling. Thank you Dr.Pousti & staff!
