I would give zero stars if I could. I did a breast reduction/ lift with Doctor Restifo and I honestly could have gotten better results by someone doing the job blind folded. I sent the office inspiration pictures, which included some of Dr Restifos own photos from his website. I’ve now come to wonder are those photos really even his or are they edited? My areolas are BOTCHED completely uneven NOT round at all. Both areolas look horrible. In the inspo pics I even showed him how I wanted my nipples to look, I wake up and the nipples weren’t even worked on. He didn’t even bother to go near them. I woke up the same way I walked into his office. I don’t understand how someone can show you photos of what they’d like and you just completely ignore it? My breasts are also uneven on top of all of this. They were slightly uneven to begin with and he did not even bother trying to make them the same during reduction. Lastly, my breast’s aren’t even lifted. They have just been reduced in size. There is barely any lift. I go to my 3 month post op and Dr Restifo tells me to wait until 6 months and we will “fix it” I return in 6 months and he tells me “there’s nothing we can really do” so I asked him “than why’d you tell me when I return in 6 months you will fix it???” He told me “you know what, yeah we’ll fix it actually but there will be scars” sounds very promising. He wanted to “fix” the problem in his office under local anesthesia when he could of did all of this during my surgery because that was the whole point of why I went to him. I went to get PLASTIC SURGERY to feel better about my self and my confidence. Instead I leave botched unhappy and with empty pockets. If I wanted to be unhappy I would have just never paid him or went to him to still be unhappy. His response to all of this was “well sometimes things don’t go the way they should” EXCUSE ME? Aren’t you a professional? This is the easiest plastic surgery you could get and I just don’t know what went wrong that he had me leave looking like this. If you admit things went wrong than you owe me my money back sir because I do not trust you getting near me ever again. Especially because you admit things went wrong and expect me to just live with it. Thank you so much for making me even more insecure than I was before surgery: now with ugly scars and botched breast’s. I understand not everyone’s perfect but don’t label yourself as a professional than because a professional would try to fix the issue the right way and wants the customer to be happy. Your prices aren’t cheap either- so your prices should match the delivered outcome, which they did not. If you’re young and want your breasts to come out nice, go somewhere else !!!!

Dr. Restifo and his team are exceptional. They are pros in the field and it shows. The office is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I had tons of questions before, during and after surgery and they always answered right away with smiles. They had information packets that explained everything from cost, to surgery day, to after care, etc. I felt so informed and well taken care of. They are very trustworthy. I got a tummy tuck after losing an extreme amount of weight and my body has always been my biggest insecurity. I never once felt out of place, uncomfortable, judged or ashamed. During my most vulnerable time after surgery when my body is a mess and I’m sore and not myself, they took such good care of me and never once, again made me feel anything but normal. I loved my experience and the outcome is life changing. I’m only 2 weeks post op and I can tell I’m a new woman. Dr. Restifo and his team helped me get rid of the rest of the weight and skin that I couldn’t do on my own. I’m healthy, happy and excited for this new chapter in life. I will go back to Dr. Restifo in a second if I decide to have any other procedures done. I know that I could and probably should have also done my breast’s but I wasn’t ready at the time, no one, including Dr. pressured it or even brought it up. They don’t try to “over sell” they just try to make each of us feel our best! Thank you Dr. Restifo and team for my new chapter of life!!!!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful a person, and how skilled a surgeon Dr Restifo is. Whether your surgery is cosmetic or essential, he is the ultimate professional and an expert in his field. The results will exceed your expectations, and his compassion and after care equally outstanding. He strives to make his patients be very happy with the end result, and he succeeds in doing so. His staff is wonderful, kind, patient and very accommodating.. I cant say enoigh good things about his nurse Jackie, her professionalism, he kindness are very important in both pre and post op. I would highly recommend Dr. Restifo for any body surgery, whether it be elective or medically necessary.

Dr.Restifo did an amazing job. Four days since surgery and I can finally see that I have a flat stomach. 9 years struggling with pregnancy fat that I couldn’t get rid of, I’m so excited and so happy about my results and can’t want until I’m fully recovered. Then onto my next procedure! Thank you Dr.Restifo for everything! Best surgeon ever!

Silent and complicit with Chun Wei Mao after the entire practice knew I was harmed. Unprofessional and unprincipled

Great experience start to finish. I really wanted to write this review as I know when I was doing my own research to find the best doctor I had tons of questions. Pain being the scariest for me personally. I woke up from my surgery and I kept asking the nurse did he do it already? I didn’t feel anything and they work hard to ensure your comfortable every step of the way. The pain did kick in later that evening but I had all of my medication prior to my surgery and nurse Jackie made sure I understood how to take it. Most people go to the pain relief but the muscle relaxer gave me the most relief which nurse Jackie had told me in advance. I’m only 5 weeks post op but I already love my results. He isn’t the cheapest but when it comes to something as important as this you want the best not the cheapest. I would highly recommend Dr. Restifo to all of my friends and family.

I found Dr. Restifo after years of going to different surgeons for consultations and I am very happy that I took my time because Dr. Restifo did a wonderful job. I had a breast implant removal and lift and I am speechless. His work is impeccable and absolutely beautiful, he took all my concerns into consideration and even exceeded my expectations. His team is also fantastic and professional from start to finish, and I am forever grateful.
