Amazing doc and team I brought my best friend to my consultation appt for breast implants revision and labiaplasty. Dr and staff were knowledgeable, happy, kind, and fun. Literally gave me all the time I needed to get my questions answered. Even included my BFF in the conversation even answering questions about her breasts, she goes back and forth about wanting implants to 'perk them up a bit' eventually Dr Pousti telling her if she's happy with how she looks don't do it. We were both kind of shocked to hear that. You'd think someone would be scheduling her surgery lol My consult was about 2 hours long. Never once did I feel like I was holding them up. I tried on sizers, and they used their 3d Vectra machine which is the coolest thing ever. He and his staff are friendly and outgoing but in a professional way. I live out of state, he's in California and I'm in Washington state. I sent my wish pix in via email and had a few phone calls from them in between. Pre op appt was the same, they seemed happy to see us, (me and my bestie) I was completely relaxed. Went over my wish pix and other normal paperwork. Surgery was the next day, bestie dropped me off at the surgery center. Dr Pousti 's surgery team is every bit as amazing as his office staff. I was not at all nervous, but excited to get my surgery done. Dr came in drew his markings everywhere (chest and labia) both with a mirror so I could see, which was interesting. When they walked me into the surgery room, is when it all hit me. I put on my brave face and hopped on the table. Littlest bit of nerves. The anesthesiologist told me I'd feel a cold feeling in my arm where the IV was and I'd be asleep before the count of 10. Dr Pousti was standing right next to me. I started to tear up a little, he smiled at me and held my hand until I was out. Waking up in recovery, I was only up for a few minutes before my BFF got there. Obviously I felt great still loaded up on meds. We got to her house I ate and slept. Only took the Percocet /Valium for two days then switched to acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Only taking Valium at bedtime. His staff calls everyday to check on me and answer questions. I layed low the first few days. I truly felt really good. Tired at times and mild discomfort Surg was Wed post op was Mon. I couldn't wait to see the Dr because I felt so good. Everything was healing well. Dr Pousti 's Rules for labiaplasty.. No boys, bikes or broncos for 6 weeks. They gave me a pink tank top that says Body by Pousti on the front. Of course I had to put it on right away! I got hugs, pix with the staff and Dr. It was a great experience. I'm excited to see them all again for my 6 week post op. Labiaplasty was the thing I was most nervous about. Breast Revision is more uncomfortable. Even that isn't bad, more annoying or inconvenient.
