Dr. Pousti is THE BEST! So Happy with the Results! - San Diego, CA

I am an eighteen year old from Chicago, IL and was interested in getting a breast augmentation for two years. Thankfully, I was not completely flat chested but lacked cleavage and fullness in my breasts. I chose to get a breast augmentation because I definitely wanted to feel like a young woman, fill out my tops more and gain a whole new confidence! Luckily, I was able to talk to my parents and they were completely supportive and understanding. Having a petite frame and at 5'3, I was about a B cup and hoped to be D cup with a completely natural look. With that said, I wanted silicon implants because of the natural feel and look to them. I researched countless doctors in Illinois first then started to look for doctors in other states because I wasn't satisfied with many of the doctors before and after photos. I started to look on the website RealSelf.com and immediately found Dr. Pousti as one of the top breast augmentation surgeons in the U.S. As soon as I looked at Dr. Pousti's website and his before and after photos along with patient testimonials, I knew he was the surgeon for me! When I turned eighteen, I emailed Dr. Pousti and asked him if I was a good candidate for surgery and he said yes. I emailed photos of my breasts along with pictures of my 'wish breasts'. I asked Dr. Pousti if my expectations were realistic along with the D size I wanted and he said that they were. Dr. Pousti was very professional and gracious from the start, along with his wonderful staff. The closer my surgery date became I became so anxious but excited to finally feel and look more like a woman! My mom and I flew out to Dr. Pousti's office in California on July 2, 2013 for my in-office consultation. Dr. Pousti's office is extremely nice and his staff made me feel completely comfortable. When I met Dr. Pousti and was finally able to talk to him in person, I knew I made the right decision. Dr. Pousti and I talked about the difference between saline and silicon along with my hopes of a natural look to my breasts. After talking with him and hearing what he recommended, I chose to go with the saline implants because they were ultimately safer and can still give a natural appearance. Dr. Pousti is literally one of the nicest people I have ever met and just having a conversation with him one can tell he is an expert at his craft. He answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease (along with my mother) going into surgery. Dr. Pousti and the nurses the day of surgery were so sweet and made me feel comfortable all the way to the operating bed and waking up after surgery. They even played country music (my favorite) going under anesthesia to make me feel as peaceful as possible. Right after surgery I woke up feeling drowsy but actually not really in pain. When my mom and I got back to the hotel I fell asleep immediately and woke up a few hours later. When I woke up is when I started to feel almost like a tightness in my chest and I knew that was totally normal and to just take my pain pills and sleep it off. Dr. Pousti himself and his staff both kept in touch with my mom the next couple of days to check up on me until my last visit before going home. Even with a t-shirt on, I could definitely see that my breasts were bigger and remembering saying "Yes!!" in my head. The only part that was really uncomfortable was laying on my back for the first week because I was so use to sleeping on my side or my stomach. The last day I saw Dr. Pousti before going home, I was taught how to do the special massages for my breasts along with answering questions my mom and I had. I am so happy with my results and could have not been more blessed in finding Dr. Pousti. He is world-class, cares about his patients and one can tell he loves making people feel happier in their own skin. Thank you so much Dr. Pousti for answering all my questions and concerns, treating me so well and giving me beautiful, natural looking breasts!
