Love Dr Restifo and the Staff So Much, That I Came Back for a Second Procedure 10 Years Later.

WORTH IT
I have long admired the exceptional work of Dr. Restifo, a relationship that began over a decade ago. At the age of forty, following four C-sections and having breastfed four children, I sought a transformative "mommy makeover." Dr. Restifo performed a comprehensive procedure including a tummy tuck with muscle repair and a breast lift with saline implants placed sub-muscularly. Remarkably, despite a subsequent fifty-pound weight fluctuation over the years, the integrity of his initial tummy tuck remained perfectly intact.
To celebrate my fiftieth birthday in November 2026, I returned to Dr. Restifo to address my changing needs. We collectively decided on an implant removal, a breast reduction from a 34D to a 34B, a mastopexy, and the innovative placement of Galaflex Breast Mesh. Dr. Restifo continues to be the epitome of professional excellence; he is profoundly compassionate, maintains an extraordinary bedside manner, and remains at the forefront of the latest advancements in plastic surgery. I particularly appreciate his unwavering honesty; when I inquired about additional procedures, he candidly advised that they were unnecessary at this time. I have total confidence in his practice and look forward to consulting with him again in the future.
