Don't Hesitate

I cannot thank Dr. Restifo and his amazing staff enough for the incredible experience and results from my extended tummy tuck. I was extremely nervous about the procedure, and it took me over four years of research and reading reviews, especially on RealSelf, to build up the confidence to finally move forward. I'm so glad I did!

At 49, after having three children, I struggled with muscle separation, extra skin, and stubborn fat from my pregnancies. I didn’t want additional liposuction, so an extended tummy tuck seemed like the best solution. Dr. Restifo was professional, thorough, and took the time to explain everything to me, putting all my anxieties at ease. I felt supported every step of the way.

The recovery was just as expected. Swelling continued for about six months, but I made sure to follow all the instructions given by Dr. Restifo and his team, and that really made a difference. With their guidance, I was able to stay on track and see the results I was hoping for.

It’s been a year now and I’m so grateful for Dr. Restifo and his team—they gave me a fresh start and helped me feel better about myself. If you’re considering this procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Restifo.
