A Thoughtful Approach to Surgery

Choosing surgery is rarely about one feature alone. It’s often about addressing a concern that has been present for years or responding to a meaningful life change. Patients seek clarity, honesty, and guidance they can trust.

At Restivo Plastic Surgery, surgery is never approached as a checklist. As a female-led, boutique practice serving Hawaii, care is shaped around patient priorities and delivered in a calm, private environment at our office in Maui. Each recommendation reflects experience, judgment, and respect for individual goals.

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

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.

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.
