CoolSculpting For MenCoolSculpting: The non-surgical way to SCULPT your body!Pousti Plastic Surgery is pleased and excited to announce the practice’s adoption of the innovative CoolSculpting fat removal technology for patients desiring fat removal without the cost and recovery associated with traditional liposuction. Pousti Plastic Surgery is one of the first medical and cosmetic surgery practices in the Southern California region to offer this breakthrough in non-invasive fat reduction. CoolSculpting is an exciting and innovative new approach to non-invasive fat reduction. “This technology has demonstrated significant positive results in clinical studies for removing unwanted body fat without the possible risks and recovery of invasive procedures” said Dr. Tom Pousti of Pousti Plastic Surgery in San Diego, California. “This fat-reducing technology is particularly effective in resistant localized areas of the body such as back fat, love handles, and isolated belly fat. The CoolSculpting procedure is extremely comfortable and patients are very satisfied with the process and results.” Cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the CoolSculpting technology works by gently cooling unwanted fat cells in the body, inducing a natural and controlled elimination of fat cells. CoolSculpting is based on scientific discovery from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. The research proved through vast research that fat cells are more susceptible to cold and are selectively, painlessly, and permanently destroyed. Several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis and start to shrink and disappear. The patient begins to naturally and gradually eliminate cooled fat cells, thereby reducing the thickness of the fat layer in targeted areas of the body. Unlike other harsh fat reduction or removal procedures, CoolSculpting requires no needles, surgery, or recovery periods. During the procedure, a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area. Treatments last between one and two hours, and patients have the option for additional treatments for more substantial effects if desired. Each CoolSculpting procedure results in an undeniable reduction of fat in the treatment area, and patients see results as early as three weeks following treatment. The most dramatic results occur over a period of between two and four months in most patients.

I cannot express how pleased I am with Dr. Pousti’s work. To make a long story short, I had battled, since I was a youth, stubborn pockets of fat that seemed to be resistant to every type of exercise and diet. Even as a bodybuilder I just could not get rid of my gut, no matter how much cardio and dieting I did. It took me seven years to finally make the decision to have the surgery done, as I was in grad school out of state. I can tell you that within that time I had consulted with Doctors all throughout the L.A. area, but when I finally met Dr. Pousti I knew I had found the right doctor, for two reasons. First, he actually took the time to be very honest with me about what to expect and what not to expect. He listened to my concerns and answered every question I asked him with great honesty and integrity. Secondly, he did not come off as a businessman, but rather a doctor whose first priority was the quality of his work. His fees were very reasonably priced compared to other doctors I had seen who were quick to discuss their much higher than average fees up front. All in all the quality of Dr. Pousti’s work speaks for itself and is very reasonably priced. Not to mention, he is just an all around first class professional. The actual surgery was a very positive experience. I was so impressed with how professional and caring his surgical staff was in the surgery room. They made me feel right at home. Before I knew it the surgery was over and I was on the road to recovery. Dr. Pousti also called me that night to discuss the surgery and how I felt, which was greatly appreciated. It is not a short trek from L.A. to San Diego but all the trips for the initial surgery to the follow-ups are all worth it. His office staff is especially nice and always very helpful. Lastly, let me just say how important it is when choosing a surgeon to choose wisely. I have heard many unfortunate stories from individuals who had substandard cosmetic surgery. If I were to do it all over again I would have no reservations about selecting Dr. Pousti. Sincerely, Male Liposuction of Abdominal and Flank AreasThis 34 year old male patient from San Diego, California was considering liposuction of the flank (lower back/’love handles’) and midsection area. While searching for a board certified plastic surgeon online, the patient found Dr. Pousti’s website and was impressed with the amount of information, Dr. Pousti’s credentials as well as his experience with male body contouring.
Even with the patient demanding military fitness training and healthy eating habits, the patient was not able to diminish the stubborn fat in his back and abdomen areas. Dr. Pousti suggested liposuction on his abdomen, flanks and back.
The liposuction procedure varies from 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of the patients case. The incisions are very minimal, generally measuring about a quarter of an inch. Recovery time ranges from patient to patient but most of our patient can return to work after 3-6 days and are able to return to their normal activities in about 3-6 weeks.
This patient is extremely happy with his results. Male Liposuction TestimonialI was very impressed with Dr. Pousti.

Gynecomastia/LiposuctionThis 29 year old patient from Temecula,California (Riverside County) was unhappy and insecure with the appearance of his chest. The patient was interested in male breast reduction. After doing some research the patient found out he had a condition called Gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition when males have excess breast tissue. While searching online, the patient found San Diego Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Pousti. After receiving a consultation from Dr. Pousti, the patient was told he had bilateral gynecomastia, which is the enlargement of both breasts in men and also the details on how this could be fixed.

Emotions Before and After SurgeryFor many patients, plastic surgery is a life-changing experience, both physically and mentally. Many people considering surgery to improve their looks do not realize that they may also experience some emotional ups and downs. There are a number of positive psychological benefits that contribute to the patient’s boost in confidence and self-esteem. However, some adverse emotional side effects may also be involved, such as depression and anxiety. Cosmetic surgery can be very exciting, yet, frustrating at the same time. Some may find the process a pleasant one, while others find it stressful. People find it difficult to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon they are comfortable with and who they feel they can trust with this major change. Anxiety may occur prior to the surgery and during recovery while patients try to patiently wait for their final results. Post-surgical depression is common, especially among patients with personality disorders, relationship issues, and lacking confidence. Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, it is important to keep a positive attitude. Having realistic expectations for your plastic surgery experience is crucial to having a positive mindset later. The purpose of plastic surgery is to improve a specific problem area of your body. There is no guarantee the results of your surgery will change your life.
Discussing your expectations and goals with your surgeon will ensure the best results possible. This communication allows your doctor to help achieve your goals. Make sure you discuss what your expectations are with your surgeon. It is best to express all your concerns prior to the procedure so that he/she may address them to help ease the process. A Board Certified Surgeon will discuss the best and safest option for your specific case. It is in your best interest to discuss your medical history with your doctor. Cosmetic surgery can either be minor or invasive and in any case, your surgeon should be aware of all medical conditions that may affect your surgery or healing. Once you decide on a plastic surgeon and the planned procedure, it is vital for you to prepare for your recovery period. It is best that you are aware of what to expect after surgery and understand the pre-op and post-op instructions to ensure the best result possible. For example, swelling and bruising is a normal part of the healing process, pain and discomfort can be managed with medications, physical activity should be limited to promote healing and rest, and it is essential for you to have a good support system. Remember that all of these contributing factors to post-surgical depression or anxiety is temporary. With tincture of time, the incisions will heal and your results will improve. When times get tough, communicate your concerns during your follow-ups with your doctor and keep the end result in mind. 14 Tips for INCREDIBLE fat loss results!Hey everyone, it’s Cierra!
