From the reviews

I have been going to this wonderful team for almost 20 years now. When I was 18 I had a mole removed from my face, and I was terrified to “go under the knife”. Dr. Mess was so skilled that she was able to completely conceal the scar from the removal- by placing it exactly within my dimple where I smile.

★★★★★ — Hope, Dec 2025

I cannot express enough what an amazing experience this has been! From start to finish, I felt so well cared for by everyone in the office. Dr. Mess truly cares about each patient and is such a perfectionist. She is absolutely the best around!

★★★★★ — Carly, Dec 2024

I had a great experience with Dr. Mess. She performed a reconstructive procedure from fat destruction that I experienced from an outside entity. Her care exceeded my expectations and I've had an excellent outcome thus far; it has been about 10 days.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Jul 2025

Dr. Mess and her staff are the absolute best. Everyone is friendly and caring. They all want you to have the best experience ever. I had surgery in June, and have no complaints. The results are better than I expected, and any questions or concerns I have are addressed immediately.

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.
