AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Over 25+ years, I've seen hundreds of amazing hardworking moms who desperately want to feel like themselves again post-pregnancy. These women diet and exercise to get their body back into shape but are beyond frustrated by the extra skin, big stretch marks, and separated abdominal muscles post-pregnancy. Most express deep dissatisfaction about how their breast contours have changed. They feel uncomfortable and insecure in and out of clothes and often describe their breasts as "deflated", "saggy", and "granny-like". If this sounds like you, we can work together to transform your body so you love the skin you're in again! Whether you need a breast lift, reduction, lift/augmentation or implants in addition to a tummy procedure, my commitment is to compassionate care and exceptional results. Additional treatments may include liposuction, Brazilian buttock lift, arm and thigh lift, or labiaplasty, See: www.restifoplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body-procedures/mommy-makeover/

Breast Surgery
••
I started out in plastic surgery to serve women who lost their breasts to cancer. I've maintained my passion because I know how life-altering surgery is when you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. It affects all aspects of life: work, well-being, and relationships. That's why I collaborate closely with patients to achieve balanced and beautiful results that reflect their unique aesthetic and lifestyle needs whether they want breast augmentation, augment with lift, fat transfer, lift, nipple surgery or asymmetry correction. We use Vectra 3-D imaging to envision the end result so you feel comfortable and confident each step of the way. Ultimately, it's satisfying to arrive at results that restore your sense of beauty and empower you to love the skin you're in. I'm personally on-call 24/7 alongside our amazing nurse, Jackie, so together we deliver unparalleled safety, satisfaction, and exceptional results.

I cannot say enough amazing things about not only Dr. Restifo, but his entire office. I was so nervous when I went for my consultation to discuss my breast augment surgery. Dr. Restifo was kind, calm, knowledgeable and just had such a way about him that put me instantly at ease. I ended up scheduling my surgery that day; the front office staff answered all my questions, explained the process and all the financial components very thoroughly. My next appointment was with Dr.

My experiences both times were such positive ones, in terms of my results and in my dealings with Dr. Restifo and his staff. He and every staff member I have dealt with have been professional, thorough and friendly and really have a way of putting their patients at ease. I would very highly recommend them.
The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. Dr. Restifo and his team are kind, professional, and explained what to expect every step of the way. The initial consultation costs $150, and if you proceed with the procedure, that gets applied to your total cost. At that consultation, everything was explained-what to expect prior to and the day of surgery, any restrictions following surgery, and total costs of the surgery, including anesthesiologist and surgery center
