From the reviews

If you are thinking of getting plastic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Howard Heppe. When I first met Dr. Heppe I was in search of obtaining a breast reduction. It had been years of always feeling less than confident on how they looked more so how one breast was larger than the other.

★★★★★ — Nydia, May 2025

Dr. Heppe, or as I have nicknamed him, Dr. Happy, is truly a world class plastic surgeon. I had originally booked with a different plastic surgeon and after have a bad gut feeling, I did some research and found unfavorable feedback on said dr.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Oct 2023

It's taken me years to finally get the lower eyelid procedure I have been wanting but was too afraid to do. Dr. Heppe and his entire office team made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and answered every question, never making me feel rushed or pressured.

★★★★★ — Laureen, Feb 2022

Dr. Heppe and his staff are amazing! Not only are they caring and personable but they are professional and trustworthy as well. I immediately knew he was the doctor for me upon meeting him and had 100% faith in his results. I was not disappointed.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
