I had a breast reduction, it started out great. I developed Pseudomonas that I could have died from. They did not seem concerned until after I spent a week in the hospital fighting for my life. They were mad because I went to the ER. The scar is horrific and my boobs are square. I hate them. I still owed about $2000 and didn’t feel like I should have to pay any more since due to everything I went through. Just so you know ; Pseudomonas is obtained by contamination/ improperly sterilization of OR and/ or instruments! And of course so much money spent flying from Texas to California, hotels, medications, and ER visit and 1 week hospitalizations at home.

He was absolutely the BEST there is, super sweet and great surgeon, I'm hoping he will be back sometime but I understand he needed to step down to take care of his family :-)

I had been contemplating a breast reduction for several years and decided it was time. You owe it to yourself to educate yourself on the procedure itself and just as important, if not more so, is selecting the doctor and their team you will be partnering with through this journey. I knew during the consultation I had found "the one". I selected Dr. Pousti and the entire experience has been beyond expectation. I had large sagging breasts and nipples pointing downward. Dr. Pousti performed my reduction, removing roughly 900 grams from each side, with no need to add implants for lifting with absolute perfection. His support team has been amazing and kept check on me frequently following the surgery. I am now 2 months post surgery and the girls are gorgeous. Talented, listens, cares, accessible, understanding, honest - I found the total package. I unreservedly recommend Dr. Pousti and Pousti Plastic Surgery.
