Flank Lipectomy/Liposuction Procedure - La Mesa, CA

It was one year yesterday since my flank lipectomy/liposuction procedure. I am still so very pleased. I had my tummy tuck when I was 58 and the flank procedure at 60. I just turned 61 last month. My only regret is that I didn't do these procedures sooner. I debated for a long time because I was afraid of the pain or of not being satisfied with the results. Boy, was I ever wrong on both accounts. I had absolutely no pain and went to the absolute best surgeon - Dr. Tom Pousti. I read all of the reviews about him months before I made my first appointment so I knew he was my first choice for a consultation. Upon meeting him, I knew I made the right choice. HE IS WONDERFUL!! As is his staff. I live in Orange County and could have chosen a surgeon in OC or LA. It was always a bit of a commute for my appointments but it was totally worth it. Today, my body is smooth and flat, no bumps or bulges!! My scar had really faded but I still use Bio Oil everyday after my shower. I have absolutely no regrets at all except waiting. Ladies, do not wait and don't be afraid. You will be so happy with the results if you chose Dr. Pousti. I will post pictures soon but as for the one year anniversary of the flank procedures and 2-1/2 years since my tummy tuck I AM SO PLEASED AND HAPPY. Go to Dr. Pousti - he is the best and you will not be disappointed!!

I recently had my 4-month post-op visit with Dr. Pousti. It was great to check-in. I am sooooo happy with the results. I had been told that I would still have swelling until months 3-4. Although, I didn't feel swollen, I think I was because it seems like my pants are much bigger on me than they were and suddenly people are noticing a change. I feel completely back to normal and can do anything. I haven't been exercising much as I had a terrible cold but that is behind me now. I am anxious to get back to the gym and really tone up my muscles more. We made a little trip out of my visit to Dr. Pousti and had a wonderful time. I am so happy with the changes to my body. This really gives you incentive to eat healthy, exercise and take your body to the next level.

It's hard to believe it has been 60 days since my surgery but, yet, it also seems so long ago. Weird! Anyway, I have been fine. I was wearing the silicone tape 24/7. My husband said my scar looks really good but I had a lot of dead skin around the area so this past weekend I removed the tape on Friday night, applied BioOil and kept the tape off for 24 hours. I think applying the BioOil was helpful but it did feel good to put the tape back on. I don't know why but it feels more secure with it on even though it is as thin as a bandage. I was told I will not see my results until between 2-3 months so I am now entering that point and anxiously await further results. It seems impossible that the results could be better but my husband thinks I still have swelling.
