In the O.R. before surgery

The patient is post op extended tummy tuck surgery, breast lift (mastopexy) with 533cc silicone gel breast implants. She is ONLY 11 days post-op surgery and is loving her results.

The patient researched for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and found Dr. Pousti on the Internet. The patient expressed that she did not have any specific problems other then she wanted larger breasts. In order to achieve her desired look, Dr. Pousti used saline breast implants filled to 625cc on both breasts, made by Mentor Corporation.

The patient is now 2-years post op breast surgery and is very pleased with her results. After she has healed and recovered from her breast implant surgery, the patient decided to have tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty). The patient was so impressed with Dr. Pousti’s work on her breasts, and wanted him to perform her tummy tuck surgery.

The patient had 1-pregnancy, even with dieting and exercising the patient could not get rid of her stretch markings and her extra abdominal skin from losing elasticity from the pregnancy.

The night before surgery the patient met with Dr. Pousti to perform markings. The patient brought in her favorite bikini to show Dr. wear to hide her incision. Liposuction would also be performed to have better contouring of the sides and hips. The patient is extremely happy with her new mommy makeover.

She also wanted a breast lift (mastopexy) and breast implants to create a “perky” look and to only fill the volume lost in her breasts from breast-feeding. After meeting Dr. Pousti several times to discuss her options, the patient knew she had the best surgeon to perform her surgery.

The patient is extremely happy with her new mommy look.

During her meeting with the doctor, the patient emphasized that she was unhappy with her flank and abdomen area and struggled to lose the exces skin in that area through diet and exercise alone. Because she was unhappy with her flank area, the Doctor recommended that she would benefit from an extended tummy tuck to give her the best possible result. An extended tummy tuck would prevent the “muffin top” look.

The night before surgery, markings are performed to ensure accurate and precise measurements and symmetry.

Patient Testimonial:

I began looking for a plastic surgeon about 6 months after the birth of my 9lb 9oz baby girl in November of 2005. After delivering an almost a 10lb baby it was obvious my body would never be the same and I was going to need a surgical intervention to put me back to the way I used to be! It didn�t take long before I was browsing the before and after photos of Dr. Pousti�s website. I was hooked! His before and after photos were the best I had ever seen! I wrote down Dr. Pousti�s information and put it away, knowing I wasn�t going to be able to have anything done until I was done having babies. Over the 3 year period between my 1st and 2nd baby I continued to look for plastic surgeons online and never found anyone who held a candle to Dr. Pousti. After I had my Son in November of 2008 my body had all but given up. The muscles in my stomach were so separated I could literally place my fist between them. I looked 4 months pregnant even after loosing all my baby weight plus a little more. Body shapers or baggy clothing became a necessity. The stretch marks on my stomach made the skin look like it had a �burnt� texture to it. No amount of weight loss or sit ups could cure what had happened to me during pregnancy. I had my 1st consultation with Dr. Pousti in the fall of 2009. The office was bustling with activity, but Dr. Pousti took his time while examining me and answered all of my questions. I never once felt rushed. I met with two other women that day who had just had the same procedures done and boy did they look fantastic! After I left that night I knew I had found the Doctor for me. I came back for another consultation a few weeks later and scheduled my surgery for February of 2010. I am currently 3 months post surgery and I am COMPLETELY thrilled!!! My breasts look amazing and I swear you could bounce a quarter off of my abs! I have never in my life had a stomach so flat! My stretch marks are completely gone and I have the cutesiest belly button! I absolutely LOVE Dr. Pousti and his staff! I feel as if he has given me my life back. No more padding my bra or hiding my tummy under layers and layers of clothing. I can not wait for summer; I get to wear a bikini for the 1st time in 5 years!! If you are considering plastic surgery, look no further! You will not find anyone better than Dr. Pousti.

When she met Dr. Pousti and his staff, she felt very comfortable with his bed-seide manner and honesty and decided to proceed with surgery. During her consultation with Dr. Pousti, he discussed the best options possible for her. He assured that he would be able to improve the assymetry of her breasts and remove the excess, loose skin of her abdomen as well as tighten her rectus muscles, stretched from pregnancy. She loved that she was able to meet some of his previous patients who had similar procedures done as a reference. She scheduled for a mommy makeover immediately.

Markings were performed the night piror to surgery. All of the patient’s questions were answered and the planned procedure was discussed in full detail. 

The morning of surgery, markings are reevaluated to ensure accuracy and symmetry. To achieve symmetry of her breasts, Dr. Pousti performed a limited breats lift on the left breast and used a “lollipop” incision on the right breast, which involves an incision around the areola along with a vertical incision. The breast implants were placed under the muscle. The patient is required to wear a surgical bra and abdominal binder for 4-6 weeks to aid in the healing process.

The patient is 6-weeks post-op surgery and is very excited with her mommy makeover. She is looking forward to her final results.
