I'm a 17 year old male and I recently underwent surgery to correct my ear shape and set them back a little bit, formally known as Otoplasty. My ears used to stick out a lot, which bothered me from a young age. I always wore my hair long to cover my ears, but as I'm getting ready to go to college and enter adulthood, I wanted to cut my hair short and go for a more professional look. The only problem was my ears. As a kid I was afraid of being harassed about them and some of that has stuck with me. I knew I couldn't get over it and would always feel self conscious, so I turned to plastic surgery. My parents began looking for surgeons, and we soon had an appointment to see Dr. Pousti. We had heard much about him, and he definitely lived up to the expectation. Dr. Pousti is very warm and welcoming, and he had me sold with his vast experience and overall genial aura. As for the surgery itself, I couldn't be happier. It has been almost 3 weeks since the surgery, and my ears look great. They no longer stick out and have been put back a bit like I wanted, while still looking perfectly natural. His staff were extremely helpful and caring as well, calling often to ask how I was doing and see if I had any questions. Dr. Pousti even offered me his personal cell phone number with a genuine promise of "any time". On top of this, his office and the surgery center were very clean, modern, and impressive. Not only is Dr. Pousti an excellent surgeon, he is also a very caring and genuine person with an outstanding and equally friendly staff. I would recommend him to anyone.

From the first meeting Dr. Pousti was very friendly, and made me feel very comfortable. He is fun, warm, and most importantly an excellent and experienced surgeon. I enjoyed going to his office and talking with him, and he made surgery a pleasurable experience. Dr. Pousti is the best!
