Richard J. Restifo, MD

After having children and being recommended for three different surgeries, I began researching options that could address multiple concerns at once. That’s when I learned an abdominoplasty could potentially resolve at least two of them. A trusted family friend referred me to Dr. Restifo, and from my very first appointment, I knew I was in excellent hands. Dr. Restifo confirmed that the abdominoplasty would address two of my concerns and explained that the third might improve naturally with time, healing, and strengthening—while being completely honest that this procedure would not fix it. What truly set him apart was his kindness, patience, and integrity. He listened carefully and never once tried to upsell me on unnecessary procedures, which was a stark contrast to my experience with another potential surgeon. His entire team was professional, warm, and supportive. I felt completely comfortable and confident throughout the process. I was also fortunate to take a cancellation slot and have my surgery sooner than expected. Now, just over eight months post-op, I’m thrilled with my results. I’ve returned to mostly my full exercise routine, I still experience occasional mild swelling but overall, I couldn’t be happier. My scar is about 21 inches long but very thin, and I’m optimistic it will continue to fade beautifully over time. Choosing Dr. Restifo was absolutely the right decision for me. I highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure—he is a skilled surgeon with a compassionate, genuine approach, and that combination is truly rare and invaluable.

I recently had an explant and breast lift procedure with Dr. Restifo and could not be happier. Both he and his staff were thoughtful in their care and quick to respond with any questions I had. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend Dr. Restifo. I did very thorough research on finding the surgeon who would be the perfect fit for my exact needs and my research paid off. This has been a wonderful experience.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the experience I had with Dr. Restifo and his entire practice. From the moment I walked into the office for my first consultation, all of my anxiety disappeared. The office is beautiful, and the staff are warm, professional, and genuinely caring. I’m a mother of five wonderful children, and as you can imagine, pregnancy took its toll on my stomach, skin, and breasts. For years I thought about getting a tummy tuck, but I could never find the courage to move forward. This September, I finally did it—I had both a tummy tuck and a breast lift—and the results are absolutely stunning. I feel like a new person, with confidence and comfort in my own skin that I never had, even before having children. I had worried so much about scarring, but the scars are already fading beautifully and truly don’t bother me at all—and it’s only been about five and a half weeks! The follow-up care has also been exceptional. Every post-op appointment is included in the quoted price, and even after hours, the responsiveness is amazing. I once called with a question in the evening, and the answering service connected me directly to Dr. Restifo within minutes. If you’re someone who’s unsure, like I once was, I can’t recommend the consultation enough—it’s absolutely worth it. I’m so thankful I went through with the surgery. It’s given me a sense of freedom and confidence I didn’t even realize I was missing. Thank you to Dr. Restifo and the entire team!

Doctor Restifo is wonderful. I had lipo and a mini tummy tuck. The whole process was very easy and smooth. I had extra care from Jackie, who helped answer all my questions before and after the procedure. I’m extremely happy with the results! Highly recommend him and the whole team!!

I couldn't recommend Dr. Restifo more! The initial consultation made me feel immediately at ease. I decided to get a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck - skin and fat removal only. The in depth consult for the implant size was truly helpful and I'm extremely happy with the results for both procedures. Dr. Restifo and his staff were very informative, helpful and answered all questions I had. After care was also very on point. It couldn't have gone better. If you're looking for excellent service, great results with true expectations, I highly recommend going to Dr. Restifo.

I had a breast augmentation and lift with Dr Restifo and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the first consultation, he was knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. He explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and I felt confident I was in the right hands. The entire process was smooth. His office was over an hour away from me so I almost went to another surgeon but I’m so glad I chose him. I absolutely love my results!

Dr. Restifo and his team exceeded my expectations from day one. I couldn’t be happier with my results and I’m so thankful for the entire team! 10/10! I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and the entire process was flawless. Highly recommend Dr. Restifo!

I first met Dr. Restifo back in 2010 for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I was amazed at the results back then, now fast forward to 2025 I chose him again for a breast implant replacement along with a BBL. I’m over the moon happy with my results. No more frog butt for me! It looks so natural and fits my body. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. 5 star service from his staff, and nurse Jackie is a pleasure. I feel like a new woman. Thanks a million.

I am 62 years old and recently had brachioplasty (arm lift) surgery performed by Dr. Restifo. The results are nothing short of amazing. I have suffered from hanging excess skin on my upper arms for much of my life even though I have always been fit and active. No matter what I did through diet or exercise, I could never reduce the appearance of my sagging arms. I was so self-conscious, I refused to wear short sleeves in public for decades. On a whim, I started researching plastic surgeons online and quickly found my way to Dr. Restifo. His medical credentials were extremely impressive and his patient testimonials were stellar. I was able to schedule an in-person consultation quickly and he was even able to see me on a weekend to accommodate my schedule. The staff (especially Rachel) was warm and welcoming and Dr. Restifo had a very calm and compassionate demeanor. He answered my many questions clearly and honestly and did an excellent job setting proper expectations. When I decided to move forward, the entire process went very smoothly, and I felt like I was in very good hands at all times. It has been 7 weeks since my surgery and the recovery process has been surprisingly manageable. Dr Restifo and nurse Jackie have been extremely responsive to all of my post-op questions and inquiries. The results I’ve achieved from the Brachioplasty surgery are truly astonishing. I now feel comfortable baring my arms in public again---a definite game-changer! I highly recommend Dr. Restifo and his practice. Updated on 14 Aug 2025: I am updating my testimonial to include photos. The before pictures were taken three days before my arm lift surgery. The after pictures were taken only ten days after my surgery. No more bat wings! :)

I used Dr. Restifo a few years ago for a procedure and my experience and results was amazing. Fast forward to this week where I went in for a consultation for his opinion on a possible reverse tummy tuck. He explained the details of undergoing this type of surgery, the expected results, etc. and suggested that I DO NOT have the surgery. He didn't try to sell me on a procedure that I didn't need. He gave me his honest opinion that was in my best interest. Needless to say, I felt pretty good about myself leaving that consultation. More doctors should take a page from his book. :)
