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 53-year old patient from Hemet, California (Riverside County) was interested in a mommy makeover. After pregnancy and breast-feeding, she wanted to gain back her pre-pregnancy body. After dedication of diet and exercise, she still felt that she needed plastic surgery to improve her body proportions.

She searched on the internet for a board certified plastic surgeon in the San Diego area and came upon Dr. Pousti’s website. After reviewing all of his patient’s testimonials and all the before and after photos of mommy’s. She also liked that he had several offices in the San Diego area to accommodate his patients. During her consultation, Dr. Pousti introduced her to some patients that had the procedure done as well.

After her examination, Dr. Pousti discussed her options in detail and the patient decided to proceed with tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) and breast augmentation surgery.

The patient is 5-months post-op a mommy makeover. She is extremely happy with her new and improved look. She has saline-filled breast implants placed under the muscle.

Patient Testimonial:

As with anyone who is thinking of having cosmetic surgery, safety is a great concern, and then there are the results. You want to know that at the end of it all, you have the results you were looking for. I spoke with several doctors prior to coming to Dr. Pousti and I did my research on cosmetic surgery. After my first meeting with Dr Pousti, I knew that I found the person I wanted to do my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Dr. Pousti took the time to explain the process and was more than willing to answer all my questions. He wanted to make sure that I would be happy with the results and reassured me that he would do all that could be done to make it a safe experience. During my initial appointment and all subsequent appointments, I had the opportunity to meet with some of Dr. Poust’s patients who were there for follow-ups. I was able to see his work and ask questions. I found this to be extremely helpful and it gave me great confidence in his abilities.

Well, it’s been 4 months and I have to tell you that I couldn’t be more pleased with the way I look and how well I feel. The first two months are a bit difficult, but as the discomfort begins to subside and the swelling goes down, you can see Dr. Pousti’s amazing work. I have been told that my breast look very natural and have been asked, ” Have you lost weight, you look great. I think that says a lot about Dr. Pousti’s skills.

My experience with Dr. Pousti and his staff has been great. They not only demonstrated professionalism throughout the entire process, but also were very friendly and sensitive to my needs. If I have any other surgery done, it will be done by Dr Pousti.

The patient searched for a board certified plastic surgeon and found Dr. Pousti online. She was very impressed with how informative his website was and by all of the before and after photos of mommy’s who experienced the same procedures she wanted.

After extensive research and several consultations with the Doctor via email and telephone, the patient decided to fly into San Diego for her surgery.

As soon as the patient landed into San Diego, she met with Dr. Pousti in his La Mesa office to meet with him to discuss everything in detail. markings were also performed to ensure accurate and precise measurements for surgery.

The morning of surgery, markings are reviewed in the operating room.

Dr. Pousti placed 339cc silicone-gel breast implants under the muscle to achieve a natural look and proportionate look.

Specific and exact measurements are made to reduce the projection and diameter of the nipple.

Notice the difference between the right nipple reduction completed and the appearance of the protrusion of the left nipple.

A tummy tuck involves tightening of the rectus muscles and removal of the loose excess skin which was stretched from pregnancy. The incision is placed low  enough so that it is hidden underneath underwear or bikini bottoms.

The patient is 3-weeks post-op surgery and is very pleased with the results of her mommy makeover. The patient follow’s up with the Doctor via email and telphone. She is recovering with no problems and is very happy at this point in time.

This 37-year old mommy from Jamul, California came to Dr. Pousti for a “Mommy Makeover”. She was referred to Dr. Pousti by her friend who had just had breast augmentation and a tummy tuck procedure done with the Doctor. She was impressed with her results and was interested in the same procedures. After months of rigorous exercise and dieting, the patient found it difficult to get rid of the loose excess skin in her abdominal area.

After meeting with Dr. Pousti, during her consultation, she knew he was the best surgeon for her to help her fulfill her needs.

The night before surgery, Dr. Pousti meets with the patient for markings. While markings are performed, the planned procedure is discussed in detail. The markings help prepare the Doctor for surgery ensuring precise and accurate measurements.

The morning of surgery, the patient explained to the Doctor that she was also bothered by the “muffin top” (flanks) area. They decided to proceed wtih an extended tummy tuck to improve the flank area as well.

Photos taken in the operating room.

Immediately after surgery, the excess skin is removed and the healthier skin is tightened and a new belly button is repositioned.

The patient is 5-weeks post-op a mommy makeover procedure with an extended tummy tuck  and breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Pousti placed 457cc silicone-gel implants submuscularly to achieve a natural and proportioned look for the patient. She is extremely pleased with her new mommy look.

This 36-year old mother of two from Escondido, California was interested in a “mommy makeover.” In order to gain back her pre-pregnancy body, she wanted to find a board certified plastic surgeon to perform her surgery safely. The patient researched online and found Dr. Tom Pousti. She was impressed with his experience in helping Mommy’s from all over the world obtain a flatter tummy and fuller breasts through breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy) and tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) surgery.

During her consultation, she discussed her options with the Doctor and was confident he would do the best possible job for her. After meeting with a couple of his patient’s who were very happy with their makeovers, she decided to proceed with surgery with Dr. Pousti.

A breast lift (mastopexy) was performed using a “lollipop” incision. The nipple-areola complex will be moved to the proper position to provide a lift for the patient.

To improve her body contours, Dr. Pousti suggested an extended tummy tuck which includes a back lipectomy. An extended tummy tuck involves an exteded incision to remove more tissue around the back area. This prevents the “muffin top” look and removes the love handles of the flank area.

The night before surgery, markings were performed to assist the Doctor with precise measurments and accuracy in the operating room.

The patient is 6-months post-op surgery and is very pleased with her new mommy body.

Patient Testimonial:

A year ago, after much research, I met the wonderful people at Pousti Plastic Surgery. I had a breast lift with saline implants and an extended tummy tuck. A life changing experience. A year later, I couldn’t be happier. I continue to feel that having the surgery and having had Dr. Pousti perform it were the best decisions I could have made.

After having three children my body just wasn’t doing me proud. I tried dieting and exercise but it seemed to no avail. The unsightly rolls of stretch marked excess skin in my mid-section and uneven saggy breasts were going nowhere. Shopping for and dressing myself were depressing chores. Camouflage, which seemed to be my only option, didn’t allow me to enjoy any of the new fashions. I was dressing myself in very practical “frumpy- mommy” clothes and didn’t enjoy it one bit. But if dressing was depressing then being undressed was a hundred times worse! I shied away from the tender caresses of my husband, regardless of how much he assured me that he loved all of me no matter what. I often wondered if I’d ever feel sexy again.

When my husband (who has been extremely supportive every step of this venture) and I decided that a mommy makeover was something we could deal with financially, we researched it thoroughly. Together we educated ourselves about the procedures, looked at many, many before and after picture galleries and read about a number of local plastic surgeons. We made a ’short list’ and began the actual consultations. Dr. Pousti blew everyone else right out of the water. For my husband (a scientist) it was important to hear just how the surgery would unfold and what the recovery would be like and was impressed with and assured by Dr. Pousti’s knowledge, education and experience in plastic surgery. The consultation for me was like the begining of a new chapter. Hearing that I was a good candidate for surgery and that someone (Dr. Pousti) could envision a good result for me was music to my ears. Dr. Pousti with his uncanny mix of humility and confidence assured me that he could and would create for me a flat stomach and fuller, natural looking breasts lifted back up into their original position. And he delivered!!

A year later I am thoroughly enjoying my new body. Maintaining it is important to me especially because now I can reap the rewards of working out. I have so much more energy and sex drive and my husband is loving every minute of it. Dressing is not so stressful anymore (now that I have found what my new size is and have managed to rebuild my wardrobe)! Fair warning to anyone considering this surgery…. you will need and want new clothes! Before surgery I weighed in at 136lbs and wore a size 10. Now I weigh 122lbs and wear a size 2!! I have never before worn a size 2, ever! I am HAPPY and really, really thrilled with my results and with my decision to go with Dr. Pousti. Thank you Dr. Pousti from the bottom of my heart. You gave me a ‘new look’ and outlook on life. My family and I are ever grateful to you and your wonderful staff for taking such good care of me.
