Easing Tension While Keeping Expression

Dynamic facial lines often form gradually through repeated muscle movement, especially across the forehead and between the brows. Many patients seek treatment when these lines begin to feel fixed or overly intense.

At Restivo Plastic Surgery, Dysport is used with restraint and intention. As a female-led, boutique practice serving Hawaii, care is delivered in a calm, private setting at our Maui office, where treatment decisions are guided by anatomy, comfort, and long-term goals.

Getting to Know Dysport

Dysport is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By reducing muscle activity in specific areas, Dysport helps soften lines while maintaining natural facial movement.

Patients often choose Dysport in Hawaii for its ability to treat broader muscle areas smoothly when appropriate. Treatment plans are customized rather than standardized, with careful attention to facial dynamics.

Benefits of Dysport

  • Smooth, Even Softening: Dysport can be effective in treating larger muscle groups, helping lines soften evenly without disrupting facial balance.
  • Maintained Facial Movement: Thoughtful dosing allows expression to remain natural while reducing unwanted tension.
  • Efficient, In-Office Treatment: Appointments are typically brief and fit easily into a regular schedule.
  • Refined, Natural Results: Conservative technique supports a refreshed appearance rather than a noticeably treated look.

Is Dysport a Good Fit for You?

Dysport may be appropriate for patients seeking to soften dynamic wrinkles while preserving expressiveness. It is often considered by individuals who have stronger muscle activity or specific patterning in the forehead or brow area.

During consultation, Dr. Restivo evaluates facial movement and discusses whether Dysport in Hawaii aligns with your anatomy, preferences, and timing—without assumptions or pressure.

What to Expect From Dysport Treatment

1. A Thoughtful Consultation

Your visit begins with understanding which facial movements feel most concerning. Dr. Restivo assesses muscle activity and discusses whether Dysport or another option best supports your goals.

2. The Injection Process

Dysport is administered through precise injections into targeted muscles. Comfort measures are used, and the treatment itself is typically brief.

3. Early Aftercare

Patients generally return to daily activities shortly after treatment. Temporary redness or mild swelling at injection sites may occur.

4. Follow-Up and Ongoing Planning

As results develop, follow-up allows for assessment and thoughtful planning of future care if desired.

Best plastic surgery office in the world. When you have a traumatic experience in life and you need help, this is the place to go. I had such an amazing experience here and I'm so grateful for Dr. Restivo and her team. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and felt like I was in a beautiful spa full of kind and loving people. The office is gorgeous and immaculately clean. Dr. Restivo has such delicate hands and her patience and skill are apparent in everything she does. When she numbed me up, she made sure that I was comfortable and I couldn’t even feel it! It was the most painless surgery I’ve ever experienced. I was impressed with Dr. Restivo‘s attention to detail and making sure every thing she did was perfect and every suture was perfectly placed. She gave me clear post operative instructions and made sure I left her office feeling good. The most amazing part is that she does everything from major surgeries to minor surgeries to cosmetic treatments and weight loss. I could see that all of her patients in her office were very happy to see her and eager to continue their care with her. Thank you for creating such an incredible team. I am forever grateful.

I went to Dr Restivo Plastic Surgery for a consultation. Dr. Restivo was both lovely and extremely professional. It turned out that she didn’t think the procedure that I had come to see her about was really what I needed. She gently referred me to trusted dermatology colleagues and said I could reach out to her later for a follow-up or any other procedure that was appropriate. I know surgeons love to cut and sew, but she only had my best interests at heart I trust her.

Dr. Terry Restivo is THE BEST plastic surgeon! Our family was visiting Maui and our 20 month old daughter had an emergency which required immediate surgery. We were terrified not knowing how everything was going to turn out. Dr. Restivo, who has decades of experience, calmed our entire family, guided us thru each step, assured us we were in capable and very experienced hands and whisked our baby off to surgery. She not only saved our daughter’s finger by re-attaching it, but she also did it with such precision. This was incredible considering how small of a body part Dr. Restivo had to work with. We also wanted absolute perfection since our daughter works in entertainment and didn’t want her to lose work over a botched finger. We are so happy with the outcome and can’t thank Dr. Restivo enough!!! She is the BEST!
