Mommy Makeover
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.

Before photo taken before surgery of the belly button. Notice the excess skin resulting from pregnancy. The quality of the skin makes it difficult for the skin to bounce back.

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.
