  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

5 Months Out and Feeling Fabulous!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been such a stranger lately; I've been working all day and going to school at night so needless to say I've been very busy! But I did want to come back on here and update my review and fill you all in on what I've been experiencing thus far in my recovery. It's crazy to think that 5 months has already passed! I'm already so used to my new body and so in love with the results I got from my surgery. DR. POUSTI, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!
I'm pretty much back to where I was before surgery as far as activities go, with the exception of my arms. I'm still taking it easy with heavy lifting and reaching, and I'm refraining from doing arm exercises at the gym. This is solely me being overly cautious! I don't want to ruin the perfection that my surgeon has bestowed upon my body! Besides, I figured I could use this time to work on my squats and better proportion my body now that my chest is enhanced. (;
Sleeping is 100% better and basically back to normal. I do still sleep with a pillow underneath for support. I'm a firm believer in the better safe than sorry motto! I use my scar treatment regimen religiously and am actually starting to see results! I love the ease and comfort ability of Silagen products! I highly recommend them to anyone who is starting to treat their scars. I also highly recommend purchasing ONLY from a surgeon or doctor's office so that you know for sure you're receiving an authentic product!
I also cannot stress enough the importance of massaging! MASSAGE, MASSAGE, MASSAGE! Feel them, squish them, move them around; don't be afraid, they're your's! And follow your surgeon's advice on what massages to do at specific points in your recovery!
If anyone has any questions, I'm more than happy to answer! Happy researching to those still considering the surgery, and very happy healing to those who've made the decision to have it done!

First Birthday with My New Boobs!

So I'm a little over 10 weeks post-op now and I just celebrated my 25th birthday this past weekend. Can I just say - dress/outfit shopping now is so gratifying! I can finally try on EVERYTHING, and not just the dresses that are meant for smaller busts. Having this surgery has changed my entire life for the better. My confidence is through the roof, and I feel more feminine and sexy than I ever have before. I'm so happy I did this for myself, and I am so thankful to my surgeon who listened to my goals and gave me the best outcome I could have possibly imagined. Thank you, Dr. Pousti! You have changed my life in so many ways. This was the best birthday I've had and I know they'll just get better from here!!

Steristrips Off, Starting Scar Treatment!

Hi everyone! I feel like it's been forever since I've updated you all! I got my steristrips off last week and finally got to take a peek at my incisions. They're so thin, I can't believe it! My surgeon did such a great job, I'm so thankful. Now that my steristrips are off and I no longer have any scabs on or around my incisions, I can finally start my scar treatment regimen! My surgeon's office recommended Silagen products - they're made with 100% medical grade silicone and come in the form of sheeting or a gel. I opted for the sheeting so I could wear it during the day while I'm at work. I'm seriously loving my results and I'm so happy I made this change for myself. Please let me know if any of you have questions! I'm more than happy to answer. (:

"Success is no accident - it is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing." Dr. Pousti is the embodiment of professionalism. Not only does he work every single day of his life to perfect his already incredible skills, he genuinely loves what he does and this can be shown in the way he carries out every aspect of his practice. I am lucky to have not only become a patient of his, but now a life-long friend that will continue to support him in his craft. I look forward to every office visit from here on out. Thank you, Dr. Pousti, for providing me with stellar care and overwhelming support throughout this transition in my life. People there is a reason he has such high ratings and such wonderful REAL reviews from REAL patients! Do yourself a favor and see for yourself. Pousti Plastic Surgery is so much more than a medical office, they are a family away from home!
