"Prior to reading please note: "before" pictures were taken after nursing two children. My "before" pictures taken prior to nursing my children showed much more significant bottoming out and symmastia. My breasts "sagged" some after nursing and actually hid the full extent of the problem.

I refused to give up hope! I knew there had to be a doctor somewhere that could achieve my desired results. I would not believe poor implant placement was a problem that could not be resolved. If I went braless, or if I was without a padded bra or padded swimsuit, you could easily see my implants were low and off center by my nipples being high. I also experienced my nipples coming out of the top of some bras and swimsuits because my nipples were too high and my volume was too low. At the gym, at the beach, at clubs,... even at church, you begin to notice nipples! Why are nipples even? Why aren't they pointing out or to the side? and Why are mine?... it is because my implants aren't in the correct place! How difficult is it to place and secure an implant in the correct position so my nipples will shine straight ahead? It wasn't that I walked around trying to show off my nipples, but I sure didn't like having to worry about them all the time!

Then my secondary problems... as I nursed two children, I developed some "loose skin". If I am going to have a correction... well... let's correct this also! And,... during nursing, one areola became larger than the other, we'll fix that while we are fixing.

After five procedures (total procedures prior to Dr. Pousti) I knew #6 (my last attempt) had to be performed by the best revision doctor... as there would not be another correction attempt. After searching on the internet for years (really!!.. about 5 years I researched during which time I breast fed my two children), and consulting with surgeons all over the U.S (Florida, Chicago, Dallas, California), Dr. Pousti was by far the man for the job. My decision was based mainly on his "before and after" photographs on his website. Doctors told me what they would do. Doctors told me what my results would be. Doctors told me what their skills were. Doctors professed their revision expertise. When I asked these Doctors to show me photographs/results of their work... they might show one or two patient pictures. Dr. Pousti had many pictures to prove his words... and pictures speak a thousand words! His website displayed dozens of breasts that displayed similar symptoms as mine (both more and less extreme than mine), but were corrected by Pousti. This is what he does... he's a "fixer". It also helped that Pousti said I could go larger to fill my loose skin and that I didn't need a "lift" as other doctors told me I might need to go with a smaller implant with a "lift" to achieve my desired results.

Office staff, hospital staff, Dr. Pousti... they are all great, but I really wasn't concerned about emotions and beside manner. I didn't fly half way across the U.S. for a congeniality contest. I wanted results! In my opinion, the trip and procedure was expensive, but well worth the money spent!! I wish I had found Pousti years ago and saved several revision attempts and wasted money. This is being written 6 months post-op, and at this point I could not ask for better results."

"Dr. Carli & Staff,

I wanted to thank all of you for your kindness and your friendliness. You all made my experience so pleasant! You will be seeing my Mom in soon as a patient and I will be back soon too! Thank you all for treating me so well. I will always recommend your office with the highest praise."

Since 1992, when it was banned, we could no longer offer silicone to our patients. I switched to “saline” and wrote an article on the subject, deploring this ban. Not familiar with saline, after using it for a few years, I discovered its advantages over silicone. (Courtesy of Alexander Carli, M.D., F.A.C.S.)

This 34 year old school teacher came to see Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Tom Pousti for a "make-over". After having 4 children, this patient was unable to lose the excess skin and adipose tissue of the abdominal area, and the inner and outer thighs. Her breasts had lost their fullness after breast feeding her children. She had many visits with Dr. Pousti and was comforted by the fact that Dr. Pousti is a double board certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. (Courtesy of Tom J. Pousti, M.D., F.A.C.S.)
