Flank Lipectomy/Liposuction Procedure - La Mesa, CA

Dr. Pousti is an excellent, extraordinary, superb surgeon. He performed abdominoplasty on me last year and I could not be more pleased; however, since my stomach is now flat, my flanks (love handles) now look huge. So, at my one-year check-up, we discussed a flank lipectomy/liposuction procedure. When I had the tummy tuck, Dr. Pousti told me to expect modest results. He is honest and does not try to "sell" you on an unrealistic outcome or more procedures. For me, the results were better than modest. In fact, I feel that are exceptional. When we discussed the flank lipectomy/liposuction, he said the results would be remarkable. Ok, sold! So, I am scheduled for my procedure tomorrow. I can't wait. It is a much less invasive surgery and basically painless as there is no muscle involvement. I will be off work for 10 days. My husband will again care for me after the surgery. He is an excellent caregiver. I am excited to have the time off work and spend the time with my husband. Dr. Pousti is an outstanding surgeon that I highly recommend. At each appointment it is like visiting an old friend as he is kind, caring, and, as I mentioned, an extraordinary surgeon. There is a reason he receives 5 star reviews!!

I had my procedure today. Dr. Pousti told my husband everything went great. Glad to be home ???? I am not in pain just sore. I have never had high blood pressure EVER but before my tummy tuck and this procedure today my blood pressure was high. I have complete trust in Dr. Pousti and really wanted both procedures so not sure why that happens.

I am feeling much better today. I quit taking the oxycodone yesterday. I feel much better now just taking extra strength Tylenol. There is really no pain just soreness. Compared to the tummy tuck this is a breeze but I am ready to be back to normal. I don't know how people become addicted to surgery. I am grateful for the outcome but ready to be back to normal. Dr. Pousti has assembled a fantastic office staff and surgical team. I am really thankful to have found him. His surgical nurse commutes 1-1/2 hours every day each way to work with him. That speaks volumes. So for now, I am just healing and anxious to have the drains removed.????
