Amazing results

Just a quick summary that I had previously had liposuction on my abs several years ago, with different surgeons, all under local anesthesia. The results had been just okay, and because of that, I was also under the impression I needed a tummy tuck based on previous consultations as to why I still had a somewhat fatty, flabby stomach. So that is what I originally had made an appointment with Dr Hess to discuss, and he basically said I didn't need a tummy tuck, thankfully, just

Miracle worker - my body even looks better than before

Dr.Hess is an Amazing Surgeon! A Miracle Worker! Very Talented! He blessed me back with my body, gave me an hour glass figure . My body even looks better than before. After, so much working out and 2 pregnancies my muscle and excess skin could not be tightened at all even with my extreme workouts, so I got a tummy tuck with muscle repair and agressive liposuction and I'm currently 3 weeks out and feel and look my best. Definitely worth it ! Would recommend him to everyone who

Pending Results Tummy Tuck/Arm Lipo

One day post op and I have never been in this kind of pain in my life. Childbirth is a breeze. The incision is what it is but the muscle repair is what kills. Sitting, standing, clearing my throat, moving my arms - everything involves your abs. Hoping for more progress this week cause I’m feeling pretty helpless having to wake up my husband to help me get up and lay down from peeing. Updated on 9 Jul 2021: Drains are still in, unfortunately, and I am on antibiotics for what

Superb breast reduction by Dr. Chris Hess

I am not even sure where I should begin with this review because Dr. Hess and his excellent staff impressed me so much. I had been researching plastic surgeons for my breast reduction for several years when I found his website. My sister and best friend, both also physicians, independently found his website after doing their own research. We all agreed that I should schedule an appointment with Dr. Hess.On meeting him, I was blown away by the level of comfort and communication

Dr Hess is my BFF

I would recommend Dr Hess for everyone! He’s amazing at what he does, has the best office staff, has the best sense of humor and sarcasm... and is stellar in the OR. From my consult to my post op appts, every question or concern was answered - I actually didn’t need to ask any of the questions I had written out on 2 pages of paper during my consult because Dr Hess answered all of them before I could ask. His work is amazing, I’m extremely happy with my results and I’m currently

Healing from BII

When I realized I had Breast Implant Illness and needed my implants removed, I looked for a plastic surgeon who not only could perform the surgery well, but also was sympathetic to the situation and agreed that getting an explant could help me. Dr. Hess was that surgeon. He was understanding, friendly, and knowledgable. He also saw the urgency and reserved an OR immediately (I called for a consult on a Wednesday, he got me in the next day for a consult, and I had the surgery on

Wonderful and Compassionate!

Went to Dr, Hess to have my implants taken out, I had several autoimmune diseases and nothing seemed to help with all of my symptoms. I found Dr. Hess on the Breast Implant Illness Facebook page. Had seen 2 other doctors who basically told me "It's all in your head". As soon as I meet with Dr. Hess I finally felt some compassion and relief that I wasn't crazy. I am so grateful to have found him. Had my implants taken out 1 month ago and 85% of all my symptoms have been elevated.

49 and Needed my Body Back AND GOT IT BACK - Fairfax, VA

I am very pleased to write this review recommending Dr. Hess of Hess Plastic Surgery. After visiting three doctors, Dr. Hess was by far the most conservative in procedure and cost for having my pannus removed. He explained what would actually work best for my body type; how his method would provide the best healing afterwards and prevent further surgeries. Dr. Hess was outstanding. I had my pannus removed and I feel WONDERFUL. Easiest surgery, very simple recovery for me which

Beautiful Again

Thank you, Dr. Hess, for making me feel beautiful again. I had an umbilical float tummy tuck in July 2017 and was nervous about having surgery, you completely put me at ease and I completely understood everything that was going to happen from beginning to the end. I was worried right after surgery but I had to give it time, now I look beautiful. My stomach is back to what it was before I had babies! This was one of the best decisions I have ever made, wish I didn’t wait so

Wonderful Experience!

My breast reduction surgery was 6 months ago and I am thrilled with my results. I was a 36 DDD before my surgery and now I am a 36 B. My clothes fit better, my shoulders/back doesn’t hurt and I am so confident now! Thank you Dr. Hess, what a wonderful experience!
