Richard J. Restifo, MD

Dr. Restifo has completely changed the shape of my body! Now I have a natural curvy shape. He performed a mini tummy tuck and lipo to my flanks and upper abs. He also performed a MMO on my good friend and her results are also amazing!

Thrilled with my experience with Dr. Restifo! He came highly referred by a friend who had an equally positive experience just 3 months prior for the same abdominalplasty procedure. Dr. Restifo was the only surgeon confident he could repair my post-pregnancy belly button, along with full muscle repair and removal of some stretched skin without a t-shaped incision. I had multiple surgeons tell me I likely have enough stretched skin for one horizontal incision, and another who wasn’t sure they could fix my belly button that looked like a wax-seal post-pregnancy. Dr. Restifo did so beautifully. I’m now 2 months post-op and thrilled with my results. Dr. Restifo is exceptional!

I have undergone two separate procedures with Dr. Restifo, 20+ years apart. 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 fees. There were no surprises and the whole process was seamless. Communication was easy, and prompt. Dr. Restifo himself is an artist. He does fantastic work, he did everything we discussed in our consultation, and I am so pleased with my results. The recovery has been a piece of cake, with minimal discomfort. Much easier than I expected, and I was back to work at my desk job after one week. If you are considering surgery, do yourself a favor and check out this practice. I couldn’t be happier with the results or my experience!

Dr. Restifo is amazing! He was able to removed 5 lbs of skin on my tummy, that I didn’t even know I had, and left me with a bikini worthy stomach, and don’t even get me started on how cute my belly button is! After 4 very large pregnancies, I had muscle separation was affecting my daily living so I decided to go for a TT, and discovered Dr. Restifo in the process. My goal was to get the muscle repaired and remove some of the loose skin, not realizing how much skin I actually had. The operation went smoothly, zero complications, and the only surprise was how great I looked under all of that skin. The staff is amazing. From the service coordinator to his wonderful nurse, the entire experience was worth every penny. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Beyond happy — amazing results and incredible communication I had a breast lift/reduction, tummy tuck, and arm lift with Dr. Restifo (Orange, CT) in late 2025 and I’m beyond happy. He is meticulous, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. He listens, explains everything clearly, and his work is incredibly precise. The office communication was also outstanding. Nurse Jackie and the rest of the staff were so easy to reach — they got back to me immediately whenever I had questions. Dr. Restifo was also easy to contact and talk to, which made the whole experience feel very supported. I had a tummy tuck about 25 years ago and my belly button and C-section scar tissue needed a lot of fixing after pregnancy, surgery and weight changes — he corrected it beautifully. I already feel amazing and can’t wait to see the final results as everything continues to heal over the next six months. I truly wish I had done it earlier.

Dr Restifo was amazing to work with. He listened and had no problem answering questions (even repeat ones) and the entire office was amazing to work with as well. I’m very pleased with my results and would 100% recommend him to anyone. It was worth the 1.5 hour drive to his office- don’t let distance deter you, I promise you won’t be disappointed !

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Restifo for my breast augmentation. From start to finish, the entire process felt easy and seamless. He was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and never once made me feel rushed. His calm and comforting demeanor immediately put me at ease. I came in with a very specific aesthetic in mind, and he truly listened. While I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, Dr. Restifo confidently guided me in a direction that refined my vision and ultimately delivered the look I was after — even better than I had imagined. His eye for detail, professionalism, and expertise are exceptional. I couldn’t be happier with my results and am so grateful I trusted his guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

From the moment I sat down with Dr. Restifo for a consultation I felt as though I was in good hands! He listened to my needs and concerns and never suggested that I do anything more than I wanted. His nurse and staff are great, the procedure and recovery were seamless and I never once felt uninformed or overwhelmed. The best thing of course, is that I’m so happy with the results!!

I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Restifo and I’m very happy with my results. The outcome is exactly what I was hoping for. The surgical process was organized and efficient, and I felt well-informed about what to expect and appreciate the team’s professionalism. Overall, I’m very pleased with my experience, especially with my results and would recommend Dr. Restifo to anyone considering the procedure.
