Revisionary Breast Surgery

The patient wanted cleavage but with her breasts pointing in the right direction. She wanted to come to an expert in symmastia repair so she found Dr. Pousti online and believed that he would e the best surgeon to improve her results.

She came into the office the night before surgery for “markings” and to go over the specifics of her surgery. Dr. Pousti explained to the patient that having to fix the work of another surgeon is very dificult to do but he has a lot of experience in revisionary surgery.

Dr. Pousti takes 30-45 minutes to perform the “markings”. These markings assist him when he is in the operating room to achieve the best results possible.

For correction of symmastia, the procedure can take from 2-3 hours depending on how much work is involved. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Pousti takes his time in the operating room to make sure that he does what he can to achieve the patient’s results. The repair of symmastia requires additional surgery to move the implant back into the pocket of original placement.
• An incision is made (usually along the breast crease) to expose the underlying tissue, muscle, and implant.
• The tissue that encapsulates the implant is cut and rolled back to fit into the pocket.
• Tissue is sutured together to hold implant in place.
• The muscle is then sutured internally back in place, connecting the sternum.
• The incision is then sutured close.

She is a few days out of her revisionary surgery: breast implant removal, re-augmentation with silicone gel breast implants and symmastia repair — but EXTREMELY HAPPY!

Testimonial:

Dr. Pousti is a miracle worker! I had developed symmastia by a previous doctor in Orange County. After about a month I was extremely unhappy with my results, my breasts starting shifting towards the middle and I had no gap in between my breasts. It looked like I had one breast and my nipples were facing outward. One breast was noticeably lower than the other and I was in constant pain and discomfort. They gradually kept on getting worse and worse. I dealt with symmastia for almost two years. I had seen numerous plastic surgeons in my area but no one felt confident enough to successfully fix my breasts. I did some research online and found Dr. Pousti. When I came in for my consultation I felt at ease and I knew right away that he was the doctor that could fix my symmastia. It was such a relief! He gained my trust right away. The day before my surgery I came into the office to have my pre-op. I was so nervous but Dr. Pousti reassured me and I knew I would have gorgeous breasts. I was a little nervous the day of surgery until the nurse at the Alvarado Surgical Center told me that her daughter had the same procedure performed by Dr. Pousti and that she was happy with her results years later. When I got my bandages off I was in shock. I started tearing up, my results are beyond amazing. I have my self esteem back and couldn’t be happier. I knew my breasts would look good, but not this good! Dr. Pousti and his staff treat you as if you are family. His staff is so friendly and helpful and you can tell that they really enjoy their job. Not only is Dr. Pousti a wonderful plastic surgeon, he is also an artist. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and for changing my life!
