I cannot tell you how happy I am with my results from Dr. Pousti. I am a 28 year old female and had always thought I wasn't proportioned. I had A cup breasts with some curves and always thought of breast augmentation but never thought I would actually go through with it. One of my good friends had seen Dr. Pousti for breast augmentation and had nothing but great things to say about him! My husband and I went through his website and got some ideas of what shape, size, etc. that I would like. Once I read a handful of testimonials I felt confident enough to schedule a consultation. From the moment I walked in his office I felt welcome! His office has very nice staff who are all so caring and respectful. I have to say, I expected our initial conversation with Dr. Pousti to be more like a sales pitch. It was in fact, much different than what I had expected. He was open to questions. Once I shook his hand I knew he was someone who could be trusted! Without hesitation, I wanted to schedule my surgery. Dr. Pousti advised that my husband and I think about it over night and call the office the next day. Which is exactly what I did! Everything fell into place from there and next thing you know, I was in surgery a month later. I had my surgery on a Thursday so I was able to take off from work for 6 days, which was perfect! The pain was only bad for 2 of those days with a little soreness to follow. Everything was seamless, even on surgery day. I showed up for my appointment and had a wonderful nurse who got me all ready. Next thing you know, I am on the table going to sleep and that was it! I had so much anxiety leading up to it and now that I think back, it was really much easier than I had imagined.My best advice would be to read patient testimonials and do your homework about what you want! I knew exactly the shape and picked a specific picture from his website and I have to say... my breasts turned out exactly so!I am now 5 months post surgery and couldn't be happier with my results. The scarring has gone down significantly and is barely noticeable! I am also 4 months pregnant and plan to also write a review after the baby is born (since I plan to breast feed). I can confidently say I would recommend anyone to go with Dr. Pousti and if you are thinking about Breast Augmentation at all- do your research and schedule an appointment. You will not regret it! It is certainly the best investment I have ever made :)

I went in for a consultation and I was treated extremely well by all the staff. Dr. Pousti is a very warm and personable doctor.

Greetings from Greece Dr. Pousti 😛😁

The staff was amazing & Dr. Pousti is very knowledgeable and very patient. He answered all of my questions. If you are looking for a place to take care of your surgical needs, you're in great hands with this team!

I seriously could have not found a better Doctor and office! As a patient suffering from breast fibrosis and pain, I was really hesitant to operate and find the right physician to take care of my health,. My experience with Dr. Pousti was stellar from the moment I walked in to my post surgery treatment. The ladies at the front desk are happy and attentive, they always welcome you with a beautiful smile. Dr. Pousti is very friendly and caring. He is AMAZING and has the best bedside manners. I had fibrosis on my left breast from a surgery that went wrong outside of the US. Dr. Pousti did an incredible job fixing my breast and making it look just like my right, which was done by a different doctor - this is extremely hard. He is super talented and I highly recommend his services! You will not be disappointed.

I felt so very comfortable at my consultation today. Dr. Pousti was very informative and I feel like I’ve made the right decision with my BA. I can’t wait for the newly improved me!

Approximately 3 years following my first breast augmentation surgery I had an earnest desire to increase my breast size, for I was no longer satisfied with their current look. Furthermore, they were hanging lower than what I found acceptable and one breast was becoming increasingly smaller than the other on observation over time. I had discovered Dr. Pousti during my initial search but was unable to travel to his location during that time. I was unquestionably impressed with his work and his mastery of plastic surgery was apparent. I knew that he would be the one I would go to and no other for my breast revision when the time came. Fast forward to approximately 4 years later, it was time to take the necessary steps for the breasts I have been longing for and dreaming about. I made an appointment with Dr. Pousti at his office and I was nervous but overwhelmingly excited to say the least. Staff was friendly, informative, caring, welcoming, and highly professional. Meeting with Dr. Pousti exceeded my expectations. He listened to my concerns as well as goals and provided feedback on what can realistically be achieved. It was immediately apparent that he was committed, passionate, and dedicated to his work and his patients. I scheduled a surgery date that same day! I was anxious the day of surgery, but staff at the surgery center put me at ease immediately. The care was high in quality and meets standards of the highest caliber, and as a nurse, this does not go unnoticed. Your safety and health are their main priority. Only a week out from the surgery, I could not be more satisfied with the results. I was provided EXACTLY what I was looking for and could not be more thrilled. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Pousti and his team. I am grateful and overwhelmed with gratitude for the work he was able to do in making the breasts I have envisioned for so long a reality!

I was beyond impressed with Dr. Pousti and his staffs performances. I was treated with honesty and respect. I could not have asked for a better out come or better result on my procedure. I highly recommend going to Dr.Pousti and I have met several other people who have gone to him that say the same.

Always a pleasant experience. They always treat me like a very valued customer.; everyone is courteous and professional. I cannot wait for my big day!

I'm a 33 year old mother of 4. I just had a complete tummy tuck/hernia repair on August 29th.I had a bowel obstruction in 2005 and had a large vertical incision and an umbilical hernia. I tried to have the hernia repaired by a general surgeon last year, but that failed miserably. My insurance company would only allow them to re-open my old incision. He chose not to use mesh, but instead closed my rectus muscles with absorbable sutures. Within three months, my diastasis was worse than ever. My intestines were literally bulging through. This was something that was very difficult for me to live with because I’m extremely fit, and health conscience.I'm very petite 5'3" and 112 pounds with no extra fatty tissue (normally not the type of person that considers a tummy tuck!) I did not want to go back to another general surgeon to have my problem fixed. I wanted someone who would care about the “finished product” as well as the medical issue. I saw 5 plastic surgeons because I knew how delicate my procedure would be because of this. Two of them even turned me away! I chose to consult with Dr. Pousti because of the wonderful experience one of my best friends had with him. I immediately felt very comfortable with both him and his staff. It gave me great confidence to know that is board certified in BOTH plastic and general surgery. Both my husband and I knew without a doubt that he could handle any possible complication that he may be faced with.I saw Dr. Pousti for the first time since my procedure a few days ago, and he said that on a scale of "white-hair" inducing tummy tucks, mine was about an 11! He checked out all of my digestive organs, and thankfully everything was okay...and so far, from what we can tell, it looks awesome!! I’m 10 days post-op today, and am feeling stronger every day.I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Pousti to anyone. In my opinion, he IS the absolute best in San Diego.Kati N.
