I am 24 years old and I have been considering Breast Augmentation for over 6 years. I turned my life around in High School by losing 75 lbs and gaining a healthy and happy lifestyle. I am proud of the woman that I've become, but I have never gotten past the self consciousness of being so flat chested. So here we are some years later and I am finally taking the plunge...tomorrow morning!


I never knew that there were so many options in Breast Augmentation. It was a little daunting, but I had the help and support from Dr. Pousti and his amazing staff! I am an A cup going to full C's. I chose silicone implants because I want the most natural look possible. I am just looking to feel more proportionate, a little more feminine, and a lot more confident :)


I am excited and a little nervous. I have full faith and confidence in Dr. Pousti. I am not worried in the least about the results, I know they will be amazing! I am only concerned about how I will react. It is definitely a life altering decision and I'm hopeful for all of the positive changes that are soon to come!

Hi Bethany! Congrats on your weight loss and your BA decision :) What cc size are you getting to achieve a C cup? I am currently a 34b, getting 360cc to hopefully get a full C or small D. Good luck!

Dr Pousti told me this morning that he doesn't like to say "cup size" bc the variation in how bras are made from one store to the next. However I had surgery this morning and I got 492cc's in each and they are a great size for me. The bandages come off on Thursday but from what I can tell they are gorgeous :D

Congrats Bethany!.. I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Pousti on the 21st. What incision approach did you decide on? and will you update us with pictures?

The incision is right along the bottom of the nipple. Looking at pictures of his previous patients the scar tends to blend in, I go in Thursday to get the bandages off, and I will ask Dr Pousti about the pictures he has taken. I would be happy to post them for you

Hi!
I had the bandages removed and got to see the girls for the first time this past Thursday...they're wonderful, but not as wonderful as they will be :) They still have to settle into the pockets to give me the natural look I want, but so far so good :)
The pain has been manageable and I am weening myself off the medication. I am already so pleased with my choice to have this procedure.I go in this coming Friday to have another check up and for them to teach me the massages/tips for full recovery. I took a peek at my "before" pictures and was so shacked and amazed at the difference already! I will get some pictures up once I get the "after" ones taken.
Lastly, I could not have had a better surgeon than Dr. Pousti. His bedside manner, courtesy, patient care, genuine concern, talent, etc, etc. He's amazing! If you are in the SD area or have the means to fly in for him you should!
