Very Happy I Had my Procedure Completed by Dr Restifo

WORTH IT
I made the right choice having my tummy tuck completed by Dr Restifo. I met and consulted with three surgeons and decided Dr Restifo was the doctor for me. I added Dr Restifo to my list after I had a spray tan. Standing there in front of the spray tan lady feeling insecure about my body. We began talking and I mentioned that I wanted to get a tummy tuck. She said she has seen many tummy tucks done and she was always impressed with Dr Restifo’s work. I booked a consultation and never looked back!! (Later I found out a friend went to him too!)
At my consultation Dr Restifo answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed or pressured. Jackie was quick to help and responded to my questions as well. Everyone I met in the office is wonderful and professional.
I am so happy I had the procedure completed by Dr Restifo.

Response from Dr. Restifo:
It's great to know you feel confident in your choice to have surgery with our team. Dr. Restifo has been around 30 years, and everyone seems to know someone who has had surgery here! LOL. We are also happy to know the consultation and preop processes felt informative and helpful. We never want patients to feel pressured, but instead to know that we are there to support their goals.

Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear you had such a good experience! How was your recovery process?

I had a unique experience. Post the surgery, I did not want to take the pain meds. I took Tylenol and muscle relaxers for about a week, maybe two (I can’t remember exactly) and then I felt I didn’t need them anymore. (That’s just me!) For about 2 months after, I slept so good! So good!! Like I didn’t have a job or any responsibilities kind of good! (I was of course propped up as directed) I don’t know why, maybe because I was happy to have this behind me…? I realized this is a unique experience, but it’s my experience.
I would also like to share that 3 months after, I went on vacation and wore a bikini for the first time ever- and I’m 50yo!
