Particularly after having surgery, I became even more committed to maintaining my weight loss and NEW BEAUTIFUL body! But how to stay motivated??? I needed a new goal, and found an awesome one – learn to run a 1 marathon, and do it while helping to raise money for cancer research. I just ran my first 1 marathon, and it was one of the most incredible & rewarding experiences of my life. It gave me the renewed motivation & energy I needed to stay focused on maintaining my physique! I think these race pictures say it all!

I am so glad I came to Dr. Pousti for my breast augmentation. I don’t think I would have gotten the same results had I gone anywhere else nor would I be as happy as I am! I finally have the confidence I have been looking for. I don’t think I can ever thank you enough Dr. Pousti!!
………………….

I would just like to say that I had the best experience with Dr Pousti and his staff. When i made the decision to have breast augmentation,I had been to 3 other Dr.s for consultations but Dr. Pousti really stuck out to me. Right away I could tell he genuinely cared and wanted to help. I was very nervous the day of my surgery because i had never been under anesthesia, but the surgical team was really nice and made me comfortable through the entire procedure. Recovery was a breeze and boy was i surprised at how little pain there was! I was back to work 5 days after surgery. I am very happy with the results and have gained my confidence back. I am 2 months post op and every day my breasts look better and better
Dr. Pousti you really are amazing, Thank you very much for being genuine, kind, and taking the extra step to make me comfortable,happy and beautiful!

I recovered quickly and could not be more satisfied and ecstatic with my new breasts! My friend was so impressed with my results that she recently got a breast augmentation from Dr. Pousti as well.

"Tips for Summer: Guilt-Free Ice Cream"
“Tips for Summer: Guilt-Free Ice Cream”
It has been a sultry, hot summer this year, and though often people lose their
appetite in the heat, there is one thing we all like to make an exception for: ice cream!
Mmm… creamy, sweet, cold temptation!
Now before you go grab the nearest bucket of Ben and Jerry’s, please remember:
only 1/2 cup of the (delicious) chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream has 270 calories
AND 15 grams of fat!
Do you know how tiny 1/2 cup is? Its pathetic! Most people eat much more than that,
so don’t trick yourself that *270 calories isn’t so bad…*
Don’t worry though, because you can still enjoy ice cream!
Seriously! Just be smart about what you are going to consume.
One substitute I love: Blend a frozen banana or two (broken into chunks) with 1 tbs.
water or milk in a blender. Thats it, it tastes JUST like soft serve. If you feel indulgent,
you could top it with dark chocolate chips. A powerful blender such as a Vitamix is best for this.
Variations on the above recipe:
* Skinny Strawberry: add frozen strawberries for strawberry ice cream
* Chocolate Cherry: throw in a tiny bit of cacao powder, a packet of Truvia brand stevia (sweetener), and frozen cherries.
* Pina Colada: Add a small handful of frozen pineapple chunks, and a tablespoon of unsweetened coconut shavings.
If you prefer to just buy your ice cream, you might try Arctic Zero ice cream.
150 calories PER PINT!!! Fat and gluten free, lactose intolerant friendly,
8 grams of fiber, and 16 grams of whey protein concentrate! (Wow!) Available at Henrys, Sprouts, and on Amazon!
So there you go! Enjoy these yummy no-guilt ice cream treats!

Correction of Tuberous Breast Deformity
This 27-year old patient from San Diego, California had always felt insecure with the size and shape of her breast and was interested in breast enlargement and correction of her tuberous deformity.


While searching the internet for ways to improve tuberous breast she found Dr. Pousti and was impressed that not only was he a double board certified plastic surgeon but also that he had many years of experience with her specific problem.


Dr. Pousti released the constricted areas and lowerd the breast fold for a natural breast shape.


In order to achieve the patient’s size goals the breast pockets were improved and breast augmentation with 700cc Saline breast implants were used.

Correction of Constricted Breasts
This 25-year old patient from Riverside County was unhappy with her appearance due to constricted breasts. She was interested in breast augmentation surgery to enhance her body proportions and improve symmetry. To create symmetry Dr. Pousti plans to release the constricted breast tissue and lower the breast fold on the right breast.


Markings and measurements are made prior to surgery so that the patient’s size goals and desired look can be achieved.


The red arrows above indicate the constricted area and where the pocket must be lowered.

Before surgery

The skin underneath the right breast fold will relax and both implants will settle. In order to achieve the patient’s desired ‘natural’ look 295cc Saline breast implants were used submuscularly (implants placed under the muscle).

Revionary Breast Surgery with use of AlloDerm
After multiple procedures in 2003 and again in 2009, all from previous surgeons, this 36-year old patient ended up with a condition called symmastia. Symmastia – commonly referred to as “bread loafing” or “uni-boob”, occurs when two implants touch one another in the center of the chest. If the horizontal muscle that is connected to the sternum and goes across the implant is cut during surgery, then the implant can move toward the middle of the chest. Symmastia results from overly aggressive attempts to alter chestwall anatomy trying to increase cleavage in patients. This outcome is made worse by use of larger implants in thin patients.



Due to symmastia and rippling, the patient was very unhappy with the results of her surgery and she experienced pain on the sternum area. After months of discomfort this patient decided to proceed with revisionary breast surgery by a different surgeon. She found Dr. Pousti while searching for a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in symmastia.

The “red marks” above are where Dr. Pousti will be placing the pieces of AlloGraft to help support the internal sutures.

After Implants are removed more measurements and markings are made then internal sutures are used to create new breast pocket.

To improve rippling, due to the lack of breast tissue and thinning of the skin, AlloDerm was used to create an extra layer of coverage between the implant and the skin.


The internal sutures hold the implants in their new position.

A symmastia bra, also known as a ‘thong bra’, has to be worn after surgery to stabilize the area. This will allow the sutured area between the breasts to heal properly without excessive pressure being applied to the area.

700cc silicone-filled breast implants were used in both breasts with submuscular placement.
Updated pictures will be soon posted, sent via e-mail by the patient.

Mommy Makeover
This 24-year old stay-at-home mother from El Cajon, California found Dr. Pousti on the Internet and was interested in breast augmentation surgery Dr. Pousti performed her surgery in 2008.

Dr. Pousti used saline breast implants filled to 625cc on both breasts, made by Mentor Corporation to achieve her desired look.
The patient is now 2-years post op breast surgery and is very pleased with her results. After she has healed and recovered from her breast implant surgery, the patient decided to have tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty). The patient was so impressed with Dr. Pousti’s work on her breasts, and wanted him to perform her tummy tuck surgery.

The patient had 1-pregnancy, even with dieting and exercising the patient could not get rid of her stretch markings and her extra abdominal skin from losing elasticity from the pregnancy.



The night before surgery the patient met with Dr. Pousti to perform markings. The patient brought in her favorite bikini to show Dr. wear to hide her incision. Liposuction would also be performed to have better contouring of the sides and hips. The patient is extremely happy with her new mommy makeover.

Breast Augmentation Surgery with Nipple Reduction
This 32-year old patient from San Diego, California was uncomfortable with the projection of her nipples and wanted surgery to reduce the nipples in size, while enhancing her breast size and shape.


She was interested in breast augmentation surgery and nipple reduction.

Before Nipple reduction

Immediately after surgery
In order to reduce the nipple projection, the tip of the nipple will be removed and sutured closed. Depending on the severity of the case, sometimes the skin along the neck of the nipple will be removed. In those circumstances, the tip of the nipple is then sutured to the bottom of the nipple, creating a shorted nipple length.
The patient wanted to look extremely natural and in order to achieve her desired look, Dr. Pousti used saline breast implants and were filled to 370cc in both breasts, placed under the muscle. The patient loves her results.

Breast Reconstruction Surgery – AlloGraft
This 31-year old patient from Coronado, California previous breast surgery performed by another surgeon in 2008. She was unhappy with the results of her right breast, after several attempts to correct the malposition with her previous surgeon she decided to search for an experienced revisionary breast surgeon.


With reoccurring encapsulation in her right breast, the patient was interested in breast reconstruction surgery. She had heard about Dr. Pousti from a friend and that he is a double board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with many years of experience and training. She met with Dr. Pousti in his La Jolla office to express her concerns, and decided to proceed with breast revision surgery of her right breast.


Markings were performed on the right breast. You can see the degree of asymmetry between the right and left breast.

Along with performing capsulorrhaphy (internal sutures), Allograft would be added to the right lower breast to strengthen the breast pocket.

AlloGraft: Collagen structure (fiber-like proteins) and other proteins naturally found in skin. This structure acts as a frame for your tissue to grow into and around.

AlloGraft in place for breast reconstruction.

Dr. Pousti decided that her previous saline breast implant was able to be safely re-used and filled to match the left breast for symmetry.

Immediately after surgery.

A bolster dressing is made to hold and protect the corrected areas. Typically, this dressing is worn for about 2-weeks while in the internal suture are healing.
