WORTH IT
I had my original breast augmentation in 2009; where I decided to go with saline implants. The implants ended up bottoming out which caused my nipples to peek-a-boo out of most bras and swimsuit tops. My implants also sat far apart which caused me to still wear padded bras to bring them together. I decided to book my consultation with Dr. Pousti because I thought his work looked fantastic. I originally went to Dr. Pousti just for the bottoming out but when he told me he could fix my cleavage, it was a plus. He was very sweet and assured me post surgery they would look great. The night before the surgery I received a phone call from Dr. Pousti; reassuring me that the surgery would go great. He definitely goes above and beyond. The morning of the surgery went very smooth and the doctor did an excellent job of listening to what I wanted and providing his advice. I was glad he provided his thoughts as I felt he would have a better idea about what size implants would work with my small frame. I provided pictures of (Do's and Dont's) and I feel the results are spot on. The surgery consisted of removing my saline implants(450cc) and replacing them with silicone(590cc). I also had internal sutures to repair the bottoming out and bring my cleavage together. The surgery went great as well as the post care. Everybody throughout the entire experience has been very nice and professional. I am now 24 days post op and my results are looking awesome as they heal more. I would encourage anybody contemplating breast augmentation to contact Dr. Pousti.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review your experience; I know that you are very busy young lady. I'm glad you emphasized the importance of preoperative communication, especially with the help of goal photographs. I'm hopeful that you will keep in close communication with us and come back to see us if/when you are able. I'm also hopeful that you will be pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed. Thank you again. Tom J Pousti M.D.

Your breasts look amazing. I recently had my saline implants (420 cc's) removed, had a lift and smaller 320 implants put in. I bottomed out right away and my nip's peek a boo out of my bras as well. Plus I have no cleavage. Was your dr able to fix the nipples peeking out? I'm so scared I'll never be able to have thay aspect fixed..

Also I wanted mine smaller because I was having such a hard time finding clothes etc.. With the larger chest. Yet yours don't look massive being a higher cc. I also have like no cleavage. My dr will redo the lift to try to correct the peek a boo and I may get a larger implant especially seeing how great yours turned out.
Thanks for sharing your experience !

He did fix the peek a boo nipples. He placed internal stitches to close up the breast pockets. I bottomed out after my first surgery.
