Mommy Makeover

Monday, May 17th, 2010

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.

Markings were performed the night prior 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 breast 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.

Mommy Makeover

Monday, April 26th, 2010

This 33-year old mommy of three from Oceanside, California wanted to improve her post-pregnancy body contours. After doing extensive research for plastic surgery procedures, she decided to look into a mommy makeover which would include tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation/lift (mastopexy), and  liposuction surgery. In order to achieve her desired results safely, she was determined to find a board certified plastic surgeon to perform the multiple procedures.

The patient discovered Double Board Certified, Dr. Tom Pousti on the internet and couldn’t believe the amazing results of his mommy makeovers. She set up a consultation to meet with him right away once she lost the post-baby weight. During her consultation, Dr. Pousti provided his honest advice and explained to the patient that she would significantly benefit from an extended tummy tuck for the best results possible. She emphasized that she wanted to obtain fullness in her breasts and wanted a perkier look since they had changed and lost the volume after nursing her children. She knew after meeting the Doctor and his staff that she would be in good hands and decided to proceed with surgery.

Measurements are precise to provide symmetry. Liposuction is included to improve the contours. The patient is required to wear an abdominal binder and surgical bra for 4 weeks to help minimize the swelling and provide support.

She is 6-weeks post-op extended tummy tuck surgery with liposuction of the flanks and back. Dr. Pousti used saline-filled implants to achieve symmetry. The patient is very pleased with her new and improved look and looks forward to seeing the final results of surgery.
