I had a breast lift/reduction 15 years ago when I was 25. Since then I've had 3 children and breastfed all of them, leaving my breasts deflated, sagging and generally unattractive (I've named it the "raw chicken breast syndrome"!). I met with Dr. Pousti for a consultation and loved him. I also met with 2 other doctors and the choice was clear. It's been a month since my surgery. The first 2 weeks were a little tough but I'm feeling great now.

Congratulations! So happy to hear you're happy with your lift revision and your implants. Just curious, what type of implants and how many cc's did you get? Did you have some help the first few weeks of your recovery? Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf!

I got silicone gel implants with 440 cc's in each breast. Yes, I did have help during my first 2 weeks after surgery which I am very grateful for. I needed help transporting my 3 children to and from school and other activities since I did not drive at all during my first week post op. And I had help generally for me and caring for the kids.

Glad you had some help with the kiddos and driving. I also have 3 kids and I sometimes feel like a taxi driver. Did you share your surgery with any of your friends? Feel free to add your stats and implant size to an update in your review. Many women find it helpful to look at reviews with similar stats when researching breast implants. 

Congrats! How long did it take you to get a consult and book the surgery?
I called for a consult and was able to see the doctor within a week or two. I scheduled the surgery about 3 weeks after I made my decision.
Thank you.
