Dr.Hackman knowledge and recommendations were spot on for my reconstructive surgery. From my first consultation 6 months prior to completion of procedure he demonstrated a caring heart, open mindedness for my insecurities,deep feelings for my well being and excellent surgical skills.

I can’t thank you enough for this! The surgery and support I’ve received from Dr Heckman and his team was amazing!!! This sugery has been seriously life changing and I’m very grateful to have gotten done! He has done an excellent job at not only walking me through the steps but also ensuring that I have had a successful recovery as well! My only regret is not doing it sooner! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing work you’ve done!

My skin cancer on the side of my nose. Was too bad for the plastic surgeon in Lincoln to do the closure. So my dermatologist Liz Sutton contacted Dr. Wes Heckman to do it. What a God sent that was! It’s been almost 3 months and Dr. Heckman is an amazing plastic surgeon. He also has great bedside manners. He’s the BEST in Nebraska!

I had a TCA peel to lighten age spots and improve the texture of my skin. I was also concerned about the reoccurrence of skin cancer Dr. Heckman had previously removed (he did an amazing job with that) from my face. The procedure is quick-- I was in an out in less than an hour--but pretty uncomfortable (the prep solution smells horrible and irritates your eyes and the TCA solution stings). Definitely ask for post-procedure pain meds to cover a few days to take the edge off so you can sleep. Recovery is annoying, not painful, after the initial swelling goes down in 2-3 days, with itching you can't scratch being the biggest challenge. I didn't socialize for 2-3 weeks after the procedure due to peeling and redness. You have to be religious about staying out of the sun--I wore a broad-brimmed hat absolutely everywhere--for the first 6 months. I still wear SPF 60 every day, even in winter. The spots will come right back if you keep exposing your skin as you did in the past. I would absolutely tough it out again as this procedure is totally worth it. My skin is completely rejuvinated with better texture, tone, and a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Heckman was very thorough in his explanation of the procedures I had (brow lift and upper and lower lids). Surgery and recovery went very well. His staff is excellent. His nurses answered my phone calls and texts quickly when I had questions afterwards. The office handled all the Medicare paperwork so everything went smoothly. I am very happy with my whole experience and would do it again.

Dr Heckman and his PA Ann Story and Staff are so awesome. From the time you walk into the office and see the Dr everyone makes you feel so comfortable with his bedside manner. All your worries are gone. Dr makes sure all your questions are answered and goes over the procedure to make sure you know what he will do. And recovery time. My family and friends are just amazed how well my lip reconstruction went. You cannot even tell I had surgery. The site healed so well. I will definately refer my family and friends to Dr Heckman . And I will go back back if the need arises.

I highly recommend Dr.Heckman! I am almost a year post surgery & everything looks/healed like I had hoped. Everytime I go in for checkups, I really enjoy talking to him and his staff. They always make sure to answer any questions or concerns that I have.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had issues and trouble breathing out of my nose. My ENT referred me to Dr. Heckman to discuss what would be needed to fix my breathing issues. Dr. Heckman assessed my nose and suggested that I would need a septoplasty, rhinoplasty and turbinate reduction to help my breathing issues and fix my deviated septum. During my consultation with Dr. Heckman, he took his time answering all of my questions and made sure I understood exactly what was going to be happening in these surgeries. He talked about the surgeries in a way that I could understand and also made sure that I was comfortable with what would be happening. For me, my number one priority going into this was that I would be able to breathe better rather than the cosmetic look of my nose (though I did want it to look good without having to make major cosmetic changes). The day of my surgery, I met with Dr. Heckman before we went into the procedure, and again, he talked me through what was going to be happening and answered any questions I had. When I woke up from surgery, I felt as great as I could’ve and spent the following week resting and recovering. Overall, I would say I had a great recovery process! I had minimal bruising/swelling and when I got my cast off a week later basically all of the bruising had already faded away. I am extremely happy with my results - not only can I tell such a difference in my breathing but I love the way my nose looks as well. I can now take deep breaths in and out through my nose and breathe normally. It has seriously been life changing. I would highly recommend Dr. Heckman if you are looking to get any of these surgeries done. Not only was he extremely professional, but he also made me feel very comfortable and confident with choosing him as my doctor.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway

Dr. Heckman was great. He took all the time that I needed to explain exactly what he was going to be doing. It was a very scary surgery for me and he and his staff made the day of the surgery a lot easier.

Dr. Heckman injected Restylane filler into my tear troughs and I am beyond pleased with my results. Dr. Heckman is not only professional he is very personable as well. I would definitely recommend Dr. Heckman!
