Richard J. Restifo, MD

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.

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. :)

I was refered by someone I trust to Dr Restifo., My experience was perfect , from start to finish. Dr Restifo was very honest with me about what could be done, as I was a patient that needed to remove 30 year old implants that were banned in the 1990s, and I am so grateful to him for being an amazing surgeon because not only am I healthier THE RESULT LOOKS GREAT!!! I expressed that I wanted a fuller chest area but not large and that it was important to me that they look natural , the result was Better than I could have ever imagined , Dr Restifo knew exactly what to do within 15 minutes of the consultation and he gave me real answers and he was very correct with his plan to improve my health and the appearance is beautiful I can’t say enough about him he is an incredible surgeon !! I couldn’t be happier and I’m so glad I found him !!! I had an explant , new implants , a lift and an internal bra , they look so natural and feel natural and are perfect in my opinion so thank you for making my life so much better I feel great !

Dr.Restifo and his entire team were professional and made the process of scheduling and performing my surgery seamless. Rachel helped to reschedule my date two times due to some work conflicts and Dr.Restifo’s calm nature and experience helped me to make the best decision for my revision surgery. Jackie was responsive to my many questions before and after the surgery, as well. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone considering surgery.

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Restifo and his team for my Breast Implant Illness surgery. From day one, I felt truly heard and supported. Dr. Restifo is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also deeply compassionate. He explained everything clearly and helped me feel completely at ease.

The care from his staff was just as exceptional. Nurse Jackie was the absolute sweetest, and Rachel, the patient care liaison, was consistently kind, helpful, and encouraging throughout the entire process.

My recovery has gone beautifully, and I feel so much better — both physically and emotionally. I’m beyond grateful for the level of care I received. If you’re looking for a surgeon who truly cares, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Restifo and his amazing team.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Restifo and his team. From the beginning, I felt like I was in good hands. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, compassion and definitely attention to detail. The support team created a calm and reassuring environment both before and after the surgery. I never felt rushed and all of my questions were taken seriously. After the surgery, I was especially impressed by how responsive and accessible everyone was. It was easy to reach Dr. Restifo's nurse via email and she always responded the same day. It was also easy to schedule follow up appointments when necessary. I am more than happy with my results and that I chose Dr. Restifo. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner!!

Absolutely, hands down the best decision I made. The office of Drl Restifo made me feel very welcome. They were professional and made me feel at ease. Dr. Restifo is a top notch surgeon. I knew I was in the right place with the best team and not once had any doubts. After the surgery, I had my follow up visits and was very pleased with the results. I had a breast augmentation on one side to even things out.
