WORTH IT$9,000
I'm a 25 year old mother of one, and I've always been unhappy with the size & shape of my boobs. I breastfed my daughter for 15 months and now they're even more sad than they were before! :/ After a LOT of research I had a consultation with Dr. Pousti in San Diego, CA and it was a great experience. I met a few patients who were at their post-op appointments, and both of them had great results and we're happy with their experiences with Dr. Pousti. I also felt that the office staff were very polite and respectful and they made me feel comfortable during my visit. I tried on 450 cc sizers and I was really happy with the look so that's around the size we're aiming for!
Dr. Pousti and I agreed that I would benefit from a minor lift in addition to my implants. My nipples are a bit low on my boobs, and I have some asymmetry so I hope I'll be happy with the results Benelli lift! Dr. Pousti is confident that he can lift my left nipple a bit higher than my right and put a slightly larger implant on my right side to even then out :)
I'm scheduled for surgery on July 1st, & my pre-op appointment is June 7th! I'm super excited, I've been obsessing over goal photos!

Thanks for posting this. Is your surgeon doing a benelli lift to just the one side or to both sides? If he's doing a lift to just the one side and implants in both, is what my surgeon is proposing and it's been hard to find others who had the same surgery.

I'm having the lift on both sides, but I've seen photos of just one side done! The scars seem to heal pretty well!

What were your stats prior to your surgery. I am in your CC range and just need to know how tall you are and how much you weighed at the time of your surgery and post surgery. Thank you. Congrats they look amazing.

I'm 5'5 around 130 lbs. My weight hasn't really changed! lol I wore a B/C before & a DD/DDD now. I think they're perfect for my frame!

Almost pre-op time!
My pre-op appointment is in a few days and I'm so excited! I've been obsessing over before & after photos. I'm excited to talk about the type of silicone implants I might be getting! I've been researching but I know that dr. Pousti will make the decision of what will fit my needs best. I took some more "before" pictures in clothes to do comparisons after my surgery. I'll be paying the full amount for my surgery at my pre-op appointment. Less than one month to go!

Please be careful getting a Benelli- check out girls that have lollipop lifts and their scars- they usually scar better. Benelliscars are widened and aerolas stretch (even with permanent sutures), don't want anyone to go thru what I have...

Thank you for your input! I've seen many before & after pictures from my surgeon of Benelli lifts. I know the potential with stretching of the scars/areolas but I trust my surgeon. Hopefully I end up with a beautiful result like most of his patients!

Ok well best of luck!! Sounds like you are making an informed decision. I hate how my scars and aerola spread after mine :(

One week out!
I'm having my surgery next Friday and I'm so excited! I'm a bit nervous but mostly just can't wait. I've wanted this for a long time and I'm finally doing it :) I have all my meds and a few zip up sports bras ready to go & my mom flies in on Thursday night to stay with me the first few days & help me out. Added a few more wish pics! :)) so excited to see how many CCs I end up with. Getting Mentor smooth round probably high profile because the Benelli lift can flatten projection.
