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.
