This 43 year old Mommy from Redlands, California (San Bernardino County) succeeded in losing her baby weight, after her pregnancies. At the same time she also lost the volume in her breasts and had damaged skin around her abdominal area. She decided to undergo a mommy makeover.

She and her husband were searching for a board certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience in Southern California. When they met with Dr. Pousti, they were introduced to many patients who had similar procedures performed and they felt very comfortable with Dr. Pousti’s experience level.

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery as well as breast lifting (mastopexy) surgery are both difficult procedures and she wanted the best plastic surgeon to take care of her.   The patient was also interested in getting breast implants to increase the fullness of her breasts but after discussing the potential risks and complications of performing the breast lifting surgery at the same time as the breast augmentation surgery, the patient and Dr. Pousti decided to perform the procedures in 2 stages.  First would be the mastopexy surgery and after a few months proceed with placement of breast implants.

Dr. Pousti took his time “marking” the patient the night before surgery and discussing the mastopexy surgery as well as the abdominoplasty surgery in detail with the patient.

The patient is extremely happy with her surgery.

This 38-year old patient from Temecula, California (Riverside County)  wanted a mommy makeover of her breasts. She was unhappy with her post-baby breasts from having 4 children and breast-feeding them.

The patient researched for the best Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Southern California who is experienced in Breast Lifting (mastopexy) cases to perform her surgery and found Dr. Pousti on the Internet. After reviewing countless before and after pictures on his website, the patient came into Dr. Pousti’s Temecula / Murrieta office for a consultation. During her consultation, the patient was able to meet with previous patients who had the breast lift surgery and were willing to share their experiences. She then decided to proceed with surgery.

Markings were carefully drawn out in detail, the morning of surgery to show how the nipple-areola will be raised.

Sizers were placed to achieve the desired look.. above you can see the right side lifted and augmented.

This 32-year old mommy from Murrieta, California has been researching a “mommy makeover” for several years. After having children, she felt very unhappy with her post-pregnancy body and wanted a flatter tummy and fuller breasts. She was referred to Dr. Pousti by two of her friends who are also mommy makeover patients of the Doctor. She checked out Dr. Poustis’s website on the internet and was very impressed with his experience as a Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon helping moms from all over the world. During her consultation, Dr. Pousti explained to her that she was a great candidate for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast augmentation / breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.

The patient was determined to lose as much weight possible before her surgery to get the best results possible. She was excited to have her muscles repaired, which have been stretched from pregnancy, and the lose excess skin in her abdominal area removed. She emphasized to the Doctor that she wanted a flat, tight tummy and perkier breasts.

She is 2 months post-op surgery. In order to achieve her desired look, Dr. Pousti placed silicone-gel breast implants under the muscle. The patient is extremely pleased with her new and improved look.

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.
