Offering such a wide range of procedures - in body contouring, breast enhancement and facial rejuvenation - without sacrificing personalized patient care, has become rare in our industry. However, Dr. Hess believes a broad focus is actually the key to providing excellent results in plastic surgery.

Dr. Hess is able to recommend the most beneficial surgical or cosmeceutical treatment for each individual, based on his or her goals, anatomy, and budget. He also has the expertise to provide his patients with a safe experience and results that are aesthetically pleasing.

Success for us, is when our patients are comfortable and relaxed, excited about the possibilities, and ultimately, thrilled with the results.

Testimonials


Testi It was my idea to have the enhancement surgery. I researched for months and met with numerous doctors, but after meeting Dr. Hess and having a consultation, I booked the surgery within a week. As the big day approached I was not nervous as all my questions had been answered. After the surgery, I had practically no pain and went back to work within a few days. My only side effect was bigger bust and my only complaint was that I didn't have this done earlier. I feel so much better and I love the fact that these look so natural since people don't believe me when I tell them they're implants. This really couldn't have been a better experience.

Testi The whole procedure was a scary one, but from the beginning Dr. Hess explained everything step by step and relieved the pre-surgery fears that we had. After he was soothing and available. Overall, the experience was positive and successful

Testi My overall experience at Hess Plastic Surgery: A++
All pre-, trans- and post-surgery actions were done in a superb, professional manner; I was pleasantly surprised with the results; my expectations were exceeded at every turn. I've been thoroughly delighted with the results, and have already recommended Hess Plastic Surgery to others. Dr. Hess, you're a magician. Nice job! Thanks

Testi Dr. Hess put me at ease straight away. He was very generous with his time and shared his abundance of knowledge in his field. What I loved about him was not only his skills and sense of humor, but his honesty. If there was something he felt someone else could do with more expertise, he referred you to that doctor for that specific procedure. A fabulous quality for a surgeon to have! I recommend him highly!!
