This 33-year old mommy from San Diego, California came to Dr. Pousti for a “Mommy Makeover.” As a mommy of two, she wanted to restore her pre-pregnancy body, including her previous breast augmentation procedure. During her consultation with Dr. Pousti, they decided that she would benefit from a tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty), and a lift(mastopexy) to improve her breasts after breast-feeding.

In order to achieve her expected goals, she explained what she wanted with the Doctor during several meetings in his office. She emphasized her desire for fuller and perkier breasts and a flatter and tighter tummy. After meeting with other mommy’s who had the makeover done with Dr. Pousti, she was very comfortable with her decision to proceed with surgery.

The patient is already 2-months post-op surgery. She is very pleased with her overall result, especially her incision lines. She understands that over time the incisions will fade.

Patient Testimonial:

Dear Dr. Pousti (and amazing staff!),

Wow! What an experience� ok so it took me an ultra-conservative 11 months of surgeon interviews and patient post-op reviews before I plunked down some small change and booked my breast lift & tummy tuck with Dr. Pousti. Now currently 10 weeks post-op, I am still a little swollen � but couldn’t be any happier with the results. Not just my body results, but also in how great the whole Pousti team makes you feel when you’re there. I think the quote that best sums it up is from my 11 year old son who 8 weeks after my surgery said, “it feels really good to hug you, mom”. Bottom line, I feel really good� again. I didn’t think it was possible, but you made it possible� and you did it while keeping me feeling very comfortable too, which I’m sure was a feat in itself. My most sincere heartfelt thanks to all of you for taking such good care of me, and making me look so damn good.

This 32-year old mother of 3 is from Murrieta (Riverside County) California. She struggled with her post-pregnancy weight for years and was unhappy with her body. After deciding to reach her goal weight she looked into abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast augmentation / breast lift (mastopexy) to improve her body contours and proportions. In order to have a safe and sucessful mommy makeover, she needed to find a board certified plastic surgeon in the murrieta area.

The patient was referred to Dr. Pousti by 2 mommy’s (previous patients). These mommy’s had the same issues and concerns regarding their seperated muscles from pregnancy and the lost volume in their breasts from nursing.

A pain pump is placed to aid the patient in healing. The photo is taken immediately after surgery.

Patient Testimonial:

I just wanted to take the time to express how unbelievably grateful I am to the entire staff @ Pousti plastic surgery. I am now 3 months post-surgery and I couldn’t be happier with my results. From the initial consultation to the frequent post op visits, Dr. Pousti and his staff have been professional, informative and understanding.
I am a 32 year old mother of 3 who for several years has struggled with being overweight. Over 2 years ago I made the decision to get into shape and lost over 100 lbs. As strange as it sounds, the more weight I lost, the less confident I felt about my body. My breasts shriveled up to almost nothing and the skin around my stomach was loose and saggy. It was so frustrating to work as hard as I did to get fit and not be able to wear a cute swimsuit or trendy pair of jeans.
I started to day dream about plastic surgery. I watched television shows and started researching surgeons in southern California. I decided that I would only meet with doctors that were referred to me. I make several appointments with highly recommended surgeons to continue my research. Dr. Pousti was second on my list of doctors. I never made it to doctors 3, 4, or 5; because from the moment my husband and I met with Dr. Pousti, I knew he would be the one to perform my surgery. I think my initial consultation lasted for over 3 hours. Dr. Pousti answered every single one of my questions; I had a million, and allowed me to speak with several existing clients about their experience and results with Pousti plastic surgery. I scheduled my surgery with Dr. Pousti that day.
The day of surgery Dr. Pousti made me feel calm and at ease. The staff at Alvarado Surgery Center was top notch. My surgery (a breast lift with augmentation and a tummy tuck) went beautifully. I opted to stay at the Hideaway recovery center for 2 nights. The staff at the Hideaway helped to make the transition form the hospital to home smooth. They showed my husband everything he needed to do to care for me for the next few weeks. Recovery from the surgery was definitely the hardest part of the whole process for me. I was uncomfortable, but not in pain. The difficult part was staying hunched over to protect my incision and not being able to lift and care for my 2 year old. Looking back 3 months later, those first few weeks of recovery went by so fast and were so worth the outcome. I started working out again at 6 weeks and now at 12 weeks there’s nothing I can’t do. I absolutely love my new body! I feel like a completely new person. Thanks to Dr. Pousti’s professionalism, and expertise I now am comfortable in my own skin once again.

This 31-year old mommy from Temecula, California (Riverside County) was unhappy with her post-pregnancy body and was very self-conscious about her loose “saggy” skin in her abdominal area. She was interested in tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) and breast reduction surgery.

The patient was referred to Dr. Pousti by a friend (previous patient). As she researched about the Dr., she was very impressed by his patient reviews and his informative website and decided to schedule a consultation at the Murrieta office in Temecula.

During her consultation, Dr. Pousti is honest when discussing the patient’s options. The patient was able to meet with post-op patients and see results at different stages. She was very pleased with her experience and decided to proceed with surgery, knowing that Dr. Pousti would achieve exactly what she wanted.

The night before her surgery, she came into the San Diego office for markings. All of her questions were answered and markings were measured carefully to ensure symmetry and preciseness.

The morning of surgery, markings are reviewed.
