  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

From the first time I walked into Dr. Pousti's...

From the first time I walked into Dr. Pousti's office until my current recovery, I have had an awesome experience. I am 53 yrs young and Menopause wore me down in many ways. One being, I gained 30 pounds and it seemed all of it was on my chest! So, I lost the 30 pounds and my chest size, basically, stayed the same:(! I had been contemplating a Breast Reduction for 3-4 years and realized after losing the weight that I really needed to have a consultation with Dr. Pousti. I was referred to him by a Flight Attendant friend of mine. She raved about what a great job he did for her (breast reduction) and told me I had to go to him.I have trained in TaeKwon-Do for 17 years and have a full time job as a Flight Attendant.So, as a very active person working full time and raising 3 kids, my 32H bra size was REALLY BOTHERING ME!!! Well, I could cry right now because I am so happy!! Dr. Pousti has changed my life!!! I am still recovering from my September 20th surgery, but I am already thinking about all the ways this will change my life. No more back pain, neck pain and hands going numb, my clothes will fit better and I will actually be able to go to a regular store and buy a BATHING SUIT TOP!! Yea!! I told my GrandMaster of TaeKwon-Do, I will jump higher, spin faster and fly farther!!! Every one in my family and all my friends know how miserable I have been.I am so happy! Dr. Pousti and his staff have been so supportive throughout my whole experience. They have been there every step of the way!! I want to thank them for helping me with all the insurance and recovery paperwork, also! Everything has gone smoothly without a hitch! I wish I had done this sooner. Dr. Pousti was right!!! Thank you soooo much for everything!!

Ladies, You know how this website is titled Real...

Ladies,
You know how this website is titled Real Self?...Now I feel my real self is a reality in progress!!! This is how I have always felt. Somehow, mother nature took my body in a different direction than I expected....or just different than how I feel on the INSIDE! For those of you who struggle with this, I know you know what I mean!!!!! Only you know how it feels to look one way on the outside and know that your REAL SELF is hidden there underneath. Well, now I know I'm still here. Just needed some help:) So, that help came to me in my Dr., who believes in making our "true selves" a reality. I really am so grateful for Dr. Pousti! He seems to "GET" what we are trying to do.....FIND OUR REAL SELVES AGAIN!! This is serious, life changing stuff. Dr. Pousti understands this and I am so grateful to have fallen into his hands!!! Good luck on your journey towards making your "real self" a reality!! Keep me posted on your progress!!

Today was a great day! I got to see my new breasts...

Today was a great day! I got to see my new breasts for the first time. Dr. Pousti outdid himself!!! Wow, what a great job! I told him before the surgery that if I had a choice between keeping larger breasts that are on the softer side, or smaller, but more firm and "perky", I would choose perky....and he delivered!!! Wow! Before my surgery, He gave me 2 opportunities to see other patients in his office that had the same proceedure that I was going to have. This brought me great comfort to see actual people that had just done what I was going to do. Today, I showed 2 of his new patients the results of my surgery after 2 weeks. They thought Dr. Pousti did a great job and I think it helped them relax a little about their own surgeries. I hope!! Tomorrow I hope to post the pictures of my 2 week results. I can envision so many possible things in my life because of this and I can't thank Dr. Pousti enough. Also, two of the women in his office have helped me through the process immensely, Daisy and Veronica. They are the most beautiful people inside and out. They have followed my progress from the beginning and I can tell they are truly happy for me and have addressed my every concern from day one!! So, Hopefully I will be able to post some new pics tomorrow!!! Good luck to all of you that have an upcoming procedure. If you want to talk to me by phone, call Dr. Pousti's office at 1-619-466-8851. They will direct you to me. Talk soon!:)
