From the reviews

I’d recommend Dr. Richard Hess to anybody who’s considering cosmetic surgery. He did mine, and the results are fabulous. I had upper (lift) and lower (reduction of “poofyness”) eyelid surgery, and he also evened out my upper eyelids as one of them was drooping more than the other.

Dr. Hess did a 'thumb transplant' for my husband, who 'hates' doctors. It was so successful, that as soon as he recovered from the first, he went right back and had the other thumb done. He had full function of both thumbs without pain!

★★★★★ — Maureen, May 2017

I had surgery on November 2, 2017. I had a tummy tuck (not sure of the surgical procedure name) and I'm telling you that my husband and myself are absolutely amazed by the flawless transformation of my body. Dr. Hess is the most amazing, kind, caring doctor I have seen.

★★★★★ — Lynn, Dec 2017

I would like to thank Dr. Hess for is exceptional skill as a surgeon as well as his personable manner with his patients. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else for dermatological procedures involving surgery that has any risk of leaving a scar. Thank you Dr. Hess!

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.
