Surgical care should feel intentional, not overwhelming. Dr. Terry Restivo offers a full range of surgical procedures guided by experience, clear communication, and a commitment to results that feel natural, balanced, and personal.
Surgical Areas of Focus

Face
Facial surgery at Restivo Plastic Surgery is centered on balance, proportion, and expression. Procedures are planned conservatively to refine features without changing identity. Options range from eyelid surgery and brow lift to facelift, neck lift, lip lift, and rhinoplasty, with an emphasis on natural-looking outcomes.

Breast
Breast procedures are guided by anatomy, lifestyle, and personal comfort. Patients seek changes that feel aligned with their body rather than dramatic. Surgical options include breast augmentation, breast lift, reduction, implant removal or replacement, and reconstruction, all approached with careful planning and clear communication.

Body Sculpting
Body sculpting procedures are designed to restore contour and definition where diet and exercise fall short. Treatments such as liposuction, VASER liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, and mommy makeover are tailored to individual structure and recovery considerations, with an emphasis on proportion and long-term results.

Reconstruction
Reconstructive care addresses both function and appearance following injury, illness, or medical treatment. Dr. Restivo’s background in general and plastic surgery supports a thoughtful approach to post-traumatic reconstruction, skin cancer reconstruction, hand surgery, and breast reconstruction, always guided by safety and restoration.

Hair Restoration
Hair loss can affect how people see themselves long before it becomes a medical concern. Dr. Terry Restivo offers hair restoration in Hawaii focused on realistic planning, natural regrowth, and approaches that respect both biology and long-term outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions Surgical
How do I know which surgical procedure is right for me?
Most patients don’t arrive knowing exactly which procedure they need. Consultations focus on understanding your concerns, priorities, and anatomy, then clarifying which surgical options—if any—best align with your goals.
Is it common to consider surgery for more than one area at a time?
Yes. Many patients notice related concerns across the face or body. During consultation, Dr. Restivo helps determine whether addressing multiple areas together or separately makes the most sense.
Do I need to be a certain age to consider surgery?
There is no ideal age for surgery. Candidacy is based on health, anatomy, and goals rather than a specific number, and recommendations are always individualized.
What if I’m interested in surgery but still unsure about timing?
Timing is an important part of the conversation. Consultations can be used to gather information and plan ahead, even if surgery is months or years away.
Are consultations meant to lead directly to surgery?
No. Consultations are designed to provide clarity, education, and guidance. Many patients use them to understand options before deciding whether or when to move forward.
How are recovery expectations discussed across different procedures?
Recovery varies widely depending on the procedure and individual healing. Dr. Restivo discusses realistic downtime, activity limitations, and support needs so patients can plan thoughtfully.
Can surgical procedures be combined safely?
In some cases, combining procedures is appropriate and efficient. These decisions are based on anatomy, safety, and recovery considerations, and are discussed carefully during consultation.
What if I’ve had surgery elsewhere and want a second opinion?
Patients often seek second opinions when considering revision or additional surgery. Dr. Restivo provides honest, experience-based guidance without pressure to proceed.
How private is the surgical experience?
Privacy is a priority. The practice operates in a boutique setting with a small, consistent team, creating a discreet and respectful environment throughout care.
What role does long-term planning play in surgical decisions?
Surgery is considered with long-term outcomes in mind. Recommendations prioritize results that age naturally and align with future goals rather than short-term trends.
