WORTH IT$14,000
I decided to contact Dr.Pousti after going to 2 doctor consults in Las Vegas where I live. I received poor bedside manners from both doctors and decided not to procede with either doctor due to different visions from them for my outcome. I knew that I wanted large breast that were a bit lifted. The doctors here in Vegas recommended smaller breast implants with a lift at the same time.
I decided to do some research to make my dream come true. I found Dr.Pousti who specializes in xl breast augmentation and 2 step breast augmentations. After turning 28, I decided to contact Dr. Pousti for email consult. We chatted and I decided to meet him in person to get the ball rolling. I scheduled a consult for September 18th. I flew to San Diego. I was determined to get a third opinion for my breast goals. I was greeted by his awesome staff and felt at home. Upon meeting Dr. Pousti he examined me and actually talked to me! I was blown away and knew he was going to be my doctor. I got to talk to actual patients and see their results. I did not feel pressured to make a choice at any time. I decided to book the next available appt for surgery!
We scheduled my Step 1- the breast lift for October 1st. Since I was an out of town patient; Dr.Pousti did all my pre-operative stuff that day at inititial consult.
On surgery day, I felt at ease. Dr. Pousti and his surgical team are amazing. I got the procedure done and was discharged later that day. I was not in pain just sleepy. He and his staff have been following up on me every day since surgery.
I am now 8 days after surgery and am not taking any pain meds!!! I am returing to work in 3 days. I feel confident, I made the right choice for an excellent doctor. I have a follow up appt on October 30th. At that time, we will decide on when to procede with stage 2- which is the breast augmentation. Super excited with my results so far.

Waiting for my post-op appt
I am two weeks post-op. My energy level is getting up. Will be returning to work in 4 days. Have slight pain in the incision areas. I'm not taking any pain meds. Super excited for my follow up appt in two weeks. I'll be flying, just reserved my ticket today! No drainage, sucks not being able to shower completely. Have been showering belly button down and wiping my upper body with baby wipes. I'm so glad it's getting cooler in Vegas.

I went to see Dr. Pousti on the 30th of October. As usual, everyone was super nice. Anna was very warm, friendly and gentle when taking off my surgical dressings.
Dr. Pousti was super caring. We decided to follow up over email for the next two months. Then I'll return for an examination to determine when the second stage will be done.
My breast are feeling more soft and less tender. I am very happy to be showering full body!
I'm disappointed with the dark areola skin left after the lift. I thought all the areola color would be cut off. I will be talking to Dr. Pousti about scar revision at the next appointment.

Hello fellow 2 stager! Doesn't seem to be many of us out there. I had stage 1 September 26 and I'm scheduled for stage 2 January 14. This in between saggy phase sucks(still looks better than pre op though), but I'm so glad my PS recommended I split it up. I'll be healed when the implants go in and won't have to worry about the lift and implants battling each other. Happy healing!

So true, its our ugly duckling phase lol but soon well be swans again :D
I'm excited for you! Keep me posted on your results. I need to set a date for Stage 2 still.
