Choosing the right Doctor is the most crucial part of surgery. I learned from my previous surgeries not to just go with who your friends say is good but to really meet with many different surgeons and find out which one was right for me, it is a very personal decision. I got a lot of opinions and felt most confident in Dr. Pousti. I met with some other very nice Dr.s but knew I was looking for the most qualified person, not the one with the biggest smile and best sales pitch. Dr. Pousti was all business my first apt. Very straightforward and confident in what he recommended. Yes, the office is always busy but that is because he has earned a busy practice by great results. Second consult I brought my husband and Dr answered all of our questions and was patient with both of our concerns. I felt even more comfortable with him after that and got to see a more relaxed side of him as well. He is not only very knowledgable in what he does but he truly cares and wants his patients to be happy, he's also quite funny which is a big plus for me:) I waited until 6 weeks post op to review him because I really wanted to see how everything healed first and have not been disappointed at all. I am so thankful I found Dr. Pousti and am eternally grateful that after 14 years I can finally be confident in my breasts again!

Wow! They look awesome! My surgery is tomorrow. Nervous about the donut lift
Thank you, I'm so happy! I'm sure everything is going to turn out great for you. Hardest part is having patience while healing but think having this site to reference really helps. Good luck tomorrow, can't wait to see your beautiful results!
Your breast surgery gave you a beautiful set of breasts.Congrats on having a better result than first ones.
I'm in between Mentor and Sientra. I don't mean to sound like a diva, but could you give some insight on how to massage larger implants? Do you this this augmentation is taking more time to heal/drop compared to your first BA (I know it was a while ago). Revision is making me both excited and nervous. We have similar stats as well which is why I'm grateful for your review. I love the look. I'm just trying to figure out how big of a difference mentor 650 or 700 is to sientra 655 or 695. Happy healing!
Looking great
Wow they look beautiful. How were u able to wait 14 years that's parience I recently had breast augmentation and the result was that my left breast has a really bad double bubble and it's only been 3 weeks I'm very disappointed in the result, I've been very depressed cause now I stuck with this and have to do major research to get second opinions
I will be going for revision surgery Feb 19 2014 my first implant was done in 2000 I was barely a size b I upset as well we just have to hope for the best I really don't want to redo them again but so unhappy I wish you luck Janaserenity

6 weeks po and couldn't be happier

Went in for 6 week apt yesterday, everything is healing perfectly. My breast are both continuing to drop and and fluff there are no dents anywhere!:) my left side, your right was the one with the horrible double bubble, I never thought it would look normal again and I'm am overjoyed with how perfect they turned out. Right side still a little more swollen than left but right handed and not worried about it at all. I was very sceptical after all my previous problems and tried not to let myself get too excited or expect too much for fear of being disappointed but after 6 weeks I feel like I can finally start to celebrate having not only dent free but beautiful breast! At first when I heard what size I was I was a little worried I'd be too big but my Dr definitely knew what he was doing and the fit my body perfectly! Time to go bra shopping!:) still waiting for my before pics from Dr and will post those when I get them so you can see how extreme my double bubble was but until then here's a few I snapped this morning. Ignore the red band under breast, it's from sleeping in sports bra.

You look amazing! I'm 5'10 and I'm going in for a revision (I have terrible rippling after nursing) I have to change to under the muscle and I was thinking about the sientra since it's more cohesive. Looks perfect on you!

1 month post op 695cc, internal bra for double bubble

Made it to the 1 month mark! Feeling great, no pain just discomfort. Will have zings every once in a while or feel pressure where internal stitches are but was expected. Got a horrible cold last week wich had me a little worried but feeling better and all is well. Right side still higher and a little more sore than left. Right also not dropping as quickly and seems off center. because of my previous issues I'm worried about it filling out the lower pole where my muscle ends but know Its still early and just need to be patient. Strange because left was side with double bubble so expected that side to take longer to heal but thinking it's just because I'm right handed. I had such large debts where my muscle ends before that I am paranoid they will show again. If someone could just tell me this will fill out I would feel much better:) Still being very careful not to over do it. Keeping arms at my side as much as possible but does get harder the better I feel as sometimes I forget and reach out to grab something. Go in to see dr again next week and hoping to get the dressing changed so I can finally get a peek at my under folds, maybe even be given the ok for a full shower! Fingers crossed. Also because I am in surgical bra with strap I stillhave not been able to wear anything but high neck shirts.... Can't wait to see what the look like in normal clothes but I feeling confident I'm going to like what I see:)

Don't worry! When I had my double bubble fix the bottom wasn't full either. It takes awhile don't worry :). They are looking great!
Thank you for your response! I keep reminding myself it will all work out and to be patient but sometimes getting a little reasurance from someone who's been there puts me at ease :)
Your results are looking great!
Thank you :)
You still have ur dressing on from the internal bra? Uggg i so want these off already and only been two wks lol how long did u have to keep on?
Oh he removed thick dressing u had from surgury day huh wats on it now? Suk to be a out of town patient lol
The thick dressing tape began to come undone, i was still putting the thick gauze in though to help support i just had it out for the pic. I did however get the ok yesterday ( at 4 weeks) to take everything off. I was able to take a shower and slowly remove the tape. Felt amazing to take a shower and so much better without anything on. I also removed the stiri strips on nipples. Scars are looking great but incision is still slightly ope so i put strips back on for a couple more days. I will try and post some pics later today. Hang in there, before you know it you will be free from all the tape too!:)
Thank you for sharing i hate all the tape and gauze especially cuz im guaze up straight in the middle for seperation lol
