This 52-year old patient from Carlsbad, California was interested in breast implant revision surgery.

The patient previously had a  subglandular (over the muscle) breast augmentation in 1973 and revision breast augmentation (subglandular) in 1993 — with the same surgeon. Due to several complications, including encapsulation, the patient had been looking into revisionary breast surgery by another surgeon for many years.

Her friend referred her to Dr. Pousti.

Markings were performed. Markings were performed. 

In order to achieve her desired look, the previous breast implants were removed and capsulectomy (removal of scar tissue around the implant) was performed.

Dr. Pousti decided to proceed with sub-muscular placement of the new 400cc silicone-gel breast implants to reduce the possibility of capsular contracture again.

Patient Testimonial:

Dr. Pousti came highly recommended by one of his patients. At my consult I found him to be very knowledgeable and personable. I was somewhat apprehensive going into the surgery but Dr. Pousti made me feel very comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. Besides the removal of scar tissue that had developed from a past procedure, my goal was to look very natural and well proportioned. Dr. Pousti achieved this and I’m extremely happy with the result. Overall my experience with Dr. Pousti and his staff was very positive. They acted in a professional and caring manner.
