Dr. Pousti, San Diego, CA
Starting off as barely a B but slightly too big to be an A. Hoping to go big C-small D. Predicting 350-400cc silicone, under muscle, subareolar incision from consult.
Consultation:
Dr. Pousti was ready to answer any and all questions with complete professionalism and seriousness. He always stressed the importance of choosing the right doctor. He primarily does BAs (he said something like 600/year). His office was clean, well organized, and made me comfortable. His staff is amazing, they make you feel excited and so normal about everything you're considering (when other people you tell about it can make you feel the opposite). I tried on different sizers-So fun! Also got to do the Vector imaging and got to see what I could potentially look like after surgery. The BEST part is I got to meet other patients of his that were having follow ups. They were in great spirits, confident in the work he's done on them, and were honest about their experience which was nothing but positive. I scheduled my surgery same day and cancelled my other consults. He was definitely the one!
Pre-op:
I got to meet with one of the nurses. We took before pics and went over the to-dos and not to-dos before/after surgery. I signed paper works and asked questions which were always encouraged to have. I got my prescriptions so i can have them ready and filled ahead of time. I made my "boobie board" which has pics of what I want and don't want. Dr. Pousti has it in the surgery room to reference which I love. He came in at the end of the meeting to answer any questions and to quickly go over what I wanted and what to expect. It was quicker than my first visit but good. I'm expecting a call from the surgery center and from him the day before surgery. You really feel cared for by him and the staff, so excited!!
Surgery day:
12/9...TBC!!

Did you make that boobie board? Or did someone else do it for you?
November 26, 2016
That's awesome. I wish I would of done a poster before my surgery. I think there might of been a mixup with my pictures because I'm not even close to my goal pictures.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I love your idea of using a boobie board! All of the pictures on the Yes side are exactly the same aesthetic I am also hoping to achieve. I hope everything goes well with your surgery! Can't wait to hear and see how it turns out.

Don't be nervous. You will be fine. I was surprised on how little pain I felt. The meds were the worste. Only because you are so drugged up. I was much better once I stopped taking them two days after surgery. Tylenol was all I needed.
The wait for the surgery is a bad monster. Just try and relaxe and enjoy the next few days. Clean your house and prepare for not been able to get the area wet for like 3 weeks. I had to get my husband to wash my hair because you can't shower or lift your arms for 3 weeks. I was doing a lot of washing with a dog washer or small hose. And get a comfortable chair for sleeping I could not sleep in my bed for a month. Not that it was painful but just uncomfortable and heavy plus I am not a back sleeper. Your implants will add weight to you I had another 4 pounds (950cc) added to me. Also be prepared to have absolutely no energy after surgery and for a very long time. To this day 2 months for me I have just enough energy to do 15 mins of aerobics but that's pretty much it and light cleaning. Another thing is the ups and downs. I noticed these only after I removed the bolsters. I realized that when I didn't get what I wanted and do not have the money to get it how I wanted it. So I spend a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror disappointed realizing that this is all I'm going to get. They are fine just not incredible.
So please please please make sure you explain in great detail what you want. Even explain it twice or three times. Speak!!! your pictures might not be really looked at like you might think.
Surgery is always scary but the staff at the hospital you will be dealing with are very professional. They were all very nice. You will feel like crap after your surgery but it goes away. Don't be scared to ask for more anti nausea meds. They gave me the maximum dose. I felt much better while my husband drove back to the hotel. Take your meds and SLEEP and take a small lap around your room every time you take your meds it helps get the anesthesia out of your system.
Sorry for the long comment but I just wanted to help you out.
Feel free to ask me other questions or if you have other comments.
