MUST READ if Considering DOCTOR POUSTI - San Diego, CA

After gradually loosing for the past 2 years (40 in total) through eating healthier and mild exercise, I looked at the scale crying in happiness when I saw my goal weight reflected on it. I stood in front of the mirror nude but still found myself unhappy. I tried so hard to loose this stubborn weight and I couldn't believe my body looked the way it did. My whole life, even when I was heavier, I was self conscious about my breasts. I thought why me? Why was I this little chubby woman and still flat chested, it's like I didn't even have that perk. I stuffed my bra everyday my whole life, I got caught by family and friends and I still did it. My body just did not look right. One day when I was about 15, I saw my sister (21 at the time) undressing and I saw her beautiful round breasts, I thought "Phew, mine are going to look like that eventually!" Nope, as the years past my breasts while at one point (at my heaviest weight) were size small C, had a strange shape. I was just so self conscious even keeping a bra on during sex, what's worse is that I felt like I needed a bra to look sexy. I have wanted breast implants my whole life. My parents are not very supportive of cosmetic surgery and it held me back, that, and the cost. So, for the past few years I've just been stuck in this miserable, envious, I hate my body state. I know I should not base my self confidence on a breast augmentation but it was one thing, no matter how much I tried at the gym or ate right that I COULD NOT fix myself, it was out of control. I had to live with what I was given to me. I am a psychology and woman's studies major at a university in California, in both fields of study they teach you to accept yourself, to love yourself, accept your unique features. While I see myself as a hard working girl who has overcome diversity and pushed myself in school and in my health, I knew I was unhappy with my breasts and it honestly lead to me being spiteful towards myself, hiding my breasts in pictures, envious of big breasted women, just very unhappy. So, for the past few months, I started looking at Doctors with no expectations, just wanted to look and see if Breast Augmentation was right for me. I went into a Doctor, put on sizers and cried. I could not believe the difference a sizer made in my Bra. Unfortunately, the doctor refused to give me the size I wanted, even called my choice, weird. I went on to the next doctor in new port and while I liked her she just emphasized the complications that might arise with the breast shape I had. Almost as though she had no confidence in the procedure. I went on to see about more doctors from beverly hills, Orange County, Los Angeles... etc. I heard the same thing everywhere; complications, risk, the problem with my breasts... It was heartbreaking to hear all of these doctors point out that my breasts were not beautiful and what a difficult procedure it would be to fix them. I knew my breasts were not nice, I just didn't know to what extent. Some doctors, did try to sell me on their ideas, trying to play it "safe" and butter me up almost so I would choose them, or were very pushy, and told me what I wanted to hear. I hated this. I almost gave up on breast augmentation then and there. I found peace in the fact that I would just live in push up bras for the rest of my life. I thought, "oh well." I would still randomly search doctors online, becoming more and more scared of being let down with pretty much no hope anymore. Then I saw a Dr that I really liked! She said I was a good cantidate for breast implants and with her experience she would be able to preform a beautiful surgery. She told me to check this website out for her reviews. After reading a couple, I saw Dr. Pousti on the sidebar and clicked his profile. After reading one super positive review I went to his website looked at all of his before and after pictures, read more reviews, and googled information on him in several different forums. I fell in love with Dr. Pousti's work. There was a problem, I live in Los Angeles, and he's out in San Diego. I decided to take the drive for the consultation because this is my body, I've disliked my body my whole life, I figured if I was going get this surgery, I was going to do it right. i anxiously made an appointment for a consultation and was kind of bummed about the 100 fee, because I was driving so far and I was expecting Pousti to turn me away, and I was kind of already leaning towards the doctor I had just seen. But, I went anyway and let me tell you, it's the best decision I could have made for my body. I walked in, was greeted by the super sweet staff. I began talking to one of the many beautiful girls that works there about my goals and she was so sweet and adorable. She even showed me her breasts and allowed me to feel them. I couldn't believe she was disclosing so much of her private life with me, like a friend would. I was very thankful for her being there for me.
