WORTH IT
So it has been two weeks since my surgery! i must say i feel and look great. i have had a lot of confident issues with myself being that i was an AA. i felt like i was a little child. no matter how many bras i tried I just didnt feel comfortable in my own skin. I have been having his issue since I was 16 and i told myself for my 23rd birthday i am going to do this. Im not going to lie, i was very scared. I dont like not knowing what to expect. Honestly, you start off with nothing and wake up with something but u cant see them. But i must say it was well worth it. Now after my procedure I couldn't feel any better. Everyone in Dr. Pousti office are WONDERFUL. Not only do they call you everyday to check on you, they are always there if you have any questions or concerns. Dr. Pousti is a wonderful doctor too. When i talked to him about the desired look i wanted, you would've thought he was a mind reader. It topped it off after surgery. He couldn't have done a better job. The healing process takes time just like any major surgery you do, but i was up and moving and off my meds within three days post-op. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I cant wait until i am fully healed and will be able to show off the girls. thank you so much again Dr. Pousti.

From the first time i had a consultation with him he made me feel very comfortable. i rather have a fun joking yet professional someone than with a monotone voice and cant talk to me or give me any information. Dr. Pousti came in there and told me everything i needed to know without me even asking. his staff were also very nice and respectful, and even had a few stories and experiences to share on their own. one reason i decided to go with Dr. Pousti is the fact that i am an African American woman and like if not all most of woman of color we scar. You can have a scratch, and its there forever. Him specializing in that really made me feel great.
