This 39-year old mommy of three had been interested in a mommy makeover for many years. After losing the post-baby weight, she was still very unhappy with her body proportions and wanted to improve the look of her abdomen area and her “saggy” breasts. The patient decided to research for a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who had experience in tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation with breast lift surgery (mastopexy).

When she met Dr. Pousti and his staff, she felt very comfortable with his bed-side 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 asymmetry 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.

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 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.
