Joseph L. Hill Jr., MD

I am 8 days post op. I still need help getting up and down. Breast are not that painful, but my tummy tuck is way worse. But I know it will be worth it in the end. Love the way I already look. Dr Joseph Hill in Lexington Ky was my doctor. He has also done full face life neck lift fat transfer in my face.

It’s been one month. I am still real happy with what Dr.Hill did. I had upper and lower eye surgery, full face and neck lift. With fat transfer to my cheeks and just under bottom lip at the corners. Dr. Hill said as woman age that where we loss fat. I still have some swallowing. I just can’t wait to see my final results

After a terrible car crash last year, I had a lifesaving laparotomy surgery. For one year I embraced my scars, thankful to be alive. However, I counted down to 1 yr so I could have my scars assessed. I’m so incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Hill. He took one look at my scar and said, “Why do vertical scar work when we can do a tummy tuck and eliminate a good portion of the scar?” In 2 minutes I went from hoping for a scar improvement to planning a tummy tuck. I promised myself I’d put my story out there because I had such a hard time finding stories like mine. I’m 13 days post op and I’m so happy with the process.

Today I received a bill from the hospital for over $90,000. Yes. That’s NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS. It’s an interesting development to say the least. ???? I wonder who else has experienced this. I’ll call Monday for answers.

I feel mostly recovered. Nightly swelling is getting better. My TT scar is “climbing” a bit. It seems to have some “attachment” issue. That’s the only way I can think to describe it. When I’m siting, it’s perfect. When I stand, it distorts significantly. I see Dr Hill Monday and I’ll address it. I’m sure he’ll say my tummy, scar, and scar issue make for complicated healing. I’m a smidge annoyed, as it seems to be getting worse, but I’m reserving my feelings til I hear what he says. The rest of the scar is BRILLIANT! I’m posting 2 same day pics. One sitting, one standing.

I forgot to update on my belly button news! It seems I lost a good portion of it. Again, I must cite the very complicated abdominal trauma from my crash (10/2018). I accepted after TT surgery that the belly button was iffy. This has helped me decide I probably won’t follow up with the vertical scar revision work I have planned with Dr Hill. I’m just sort of done. :)

Dr. Hill has been fantastic through my breast cancer reconstruction surgery. He answers all my questions, is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend him to anyone with plastic surgery needs.

I recommend anyone that wants a thorough surgeon and awesome staff to seek consultation with Dr. Hill. Every part of the surgery process from the initial appointment to post surgery is precise. I received amazing results that I am in LOVE with! If you are seeking great customer service, and great results I would definitely start with Dr. Hill.

I recently had my breast augmentation surgery done by Dr. Hill. I love my results. He took time to listen to make sure I got the look I wanted. I had an easy recovery. Very little pain. I was so nervous the morning of my surgery but the staff at the surgery center made me feel at ease. Dr. Hill assured me everything would be fine. All the staff at Dr. Hill's office is so nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Hill. I could not have asked for more caring doctor.

I was diagnosed with basal cell skin cancer. Dr. Hill performed surgery to remove the cancer and to reconstruct my nose. Surgery is intimidating, but Dr. Hill put me at ease. He thoroughly explained the procedure and recovery. My results are amazing. I trusted him with my face and he did a great job.

Dr. Hill very personable. He takes time to answer any and all questions I have. He is extremely thorough, I couldn't have ask for a better physician. The staff and Dr. Hill go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.

This review is to sing the praise of Dr. Hill. He recently performed a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast life (mastopexy) and lipo on my hips and lower back. My surgery was five weeks ago and I cannot stop smiling when I look at my naked body in the mirror. At 53, I never ever thought I would be able to say that. My whole life I struggled with my weight, losing pounds only to gain more back. After I had my daughter my weight climbed to 260 pounds and I am only 5’3”. Eight years ago I became determined to lose the weight and I lost 100 pounds. The weight loss was a great accomplishment and I looked pretty good in cloths but, after all the years of fluctuating weight, my breasts pointed south to the large jellyroll of fat and skin between my belly button and pubic area continuing around my hips. Exercise did not or could not lift my breasts or further reduce the jellyroll of fat, so I went to Dr. Hill to see what options were available to improve my appearance. Dr. Hill thought I was a good candidate for the procedures he performed and predicted that I would achieve good results. I must say the results are completely fantastic. I have to brag by saying my waist is already four inches smaller, and I am still swollen. I love my flat stomach and I think my new breasts are spectacular, symmetrical, perky, like two half melons. I could not be more pleased with the results. I can only imagine how my waist, stomach and hips will continue to shrink, now that I am back on the treadmill.
Recovery, after the surgery, was not too bad. The reality was that I had four days, post-surgery, that were difficult but not more than I could handle. I followed orders and walked often, rested and stayed hydrated. My incisions remained dry and did not weep at all. I have healed extremely well.
I am so pleased with my results that I have an appointment scheduled with Dr. Hill, in a few months, to discuss and plan phase II of my body remodel. He will perform an arm lift (brachioplasty), breast augmentation and lipo on my upper back. Phase III will include a thigh lift.
This review would not be complete without mention of the office staff at Plastic Surgeons of Lexington. The entire staff is professional, warm, friendly and very concerned about your recovery. I am from Kentucky but work in New York, both Dr. Hill and the staff worked to accommodate my travel schedule and make sure that I was ready to travel when I needed to return to work. I was also very pleased with the care I received at the Lexington Surgery Center.
I highly recommend Dr. Hill. He successfully transformed my body to look better than I ever could imagine.

Next week I will have my second surgery. Dr. Hill will perform an arm lift, breast augmentation and lipo on my back. Additionally, he will begin the transformation of my legs with lipo.

I am posting my before pictures. About six months ago Dr. Hill performed a very successful tummy tuck and breast lift. I could not be more pleased with the results. I am very confident that my arms and legs will look just as good as my stomach and breasts. My incisions healed quickly with no complications.

Dr. Hill is very professional and caring. He wanted to know my goals for surgery and recommended the tummy tuck/breast lift to be followed by the arm lift/lipo. He is cautious and concerned with achieving the best results but not at the expense of my health. I feel as if I am a partner in making the best decisions for my transformation.


I will post after pictures once I have healed.

This review is for Dr. Hill specifically. The office people have been great and for the most part Dr. Hill has too. I had a breast lift, augmentation and tummy tuck on August 29, 2023 after a significant weight loss. After a few consultations with other doctors I decided to go with Dr. Hill. a couple of issues I had is thin skin and one breast was larger than the other. I asked him about using mesh for more support because of the thin skin and stressed that I wanted the breast to be the same size. I am almost 6 months out. After care has been great. Mesh was not used so the implants are going under my arms when I lay down. Secondly he put implants in of 385cc and 415cc. He put the bigger implant in on the side of the bigger breast. I am now a D cup on one side and a DD on the other. I don't feel comfortable wearing a bathing suit and I'm extremely self conscious in my clothes. if everything had been done correctly the first time it would have cost me an extra $1000.00. Now I'm expected to pay for anesthesia again and apparently the implants if I want to redo both, plus time off of work again. The mesh will be covered. I asked the girl in the office when I called to speak with him about the cost of the implants and she wouldn't do it. She had a note from him saying if I redo both I will be charged for both even though he has to go back in both sides to put the mesh in. He's not a bad doctor I just think people should be aware that if it doesn't turn out right you will be expected to pay more.
