General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Are you more or less happy with your figure, except for that remaining “pooch” on your lower belly? After pregnancy or weight loss, or sometimes just as a result of genetics, many women and men have excess, drooping skin and fat concentrated in their lower belly. A mini-tummy tuck can prove an excellent solution for these patients to achieve a flatter, firmer lower belly.
Primary Care
My initial contact and during my visits the receptionist was courteous and helpful, Katie is excellent! I was referred by my primary care physician. The consultation was very educational and helpful in understanding the procedures. All of my questions were answered, the accreditation of the surgeon was very important to me. The brochures were very nice with full understanding.
Emergency Care
“I was recently at your Emergency Room. I wanted to thank the hospital and the staff that engaged in my recovery on that evening July 8, 2005. To Julie Day, PA I never had the chance to engage with you but I was told that you were concerned about my condition. I want to thank you for your genuine concern. To Jonathon Gorbach, MD I would also like to thank you for your commitment in making sure I was in good hands before you had to leave and take care of additional patients that were obviously under your care. To Christopher Hess, MD I want to thank you sincerely for taking the time to make sure that my face would repair in a manner that was similar to the one I had before you met me. I understand that your staff is always tasked more than what it should be, but I felt that you guys took a great deal of time and care in making sure that I was comfortable and that my wounds were attended to in a manner that would allow me to resume my day to day work activities. I can’t say enough that would thank you in a proper way, but I do appreciate your effort in taking care of me. Your hospital was genuine in their concern and I can’t thank you enough. To all of the above that cared for me, Thank You So Very Much it won’t be soon forgotten. I think too often your services go unrewarded and I feel you’re a great attribute to your profession.” Northern Virginia Resident, July 2005”
Constipation

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
The above conditions tend to develop naturally over time due to aging and gravity, especially after childbirth, during which the weight of larger breasts may stretch the skin.

Mental Health
This document explains in detail how we use your Protected Health Information (PHI) which is any information about you that could identify you, your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition(s). Your acknowledgement of receipt of this document will be required the first time you receive services after April 14, 2003, at Hess Plastic Surgery.

Ultrasound
The injection is performed in the operating room after you are asleep. The anesthesiologist uses and ultrasound machine to visualize the muscle layers of the abdomen and then injects anesthetic between the muscle layers. This medication numbs the nerves that supply sensation to the lower abdomen.
X-Rays

Hysterectomy
Patients having lower abdominal surgery benefit from at TAP block. A few examples are hernia repair, abdominoplasty, hysterectomy and colectomy.
Hip Replacement
However, intrinsically this doesn’t make much sense. With almost all other surgeries, knee replacement, hip replacement etc., the patient is gotten out of bed almost immediately after surgery. This reduces swelling and stiffness and reduces complications thus supporting a fast recovery. So why not do this with breast surgery? The premise is simple – reduce postoperative breast swelling, stiffness and pain through passive pectoralis muscle motion and anti-inflammatories.
Knee Replacement
Reconstructive Surgery
The decision to undergo reconstructive surgery is extremely personal and there are many techniques designed to meet the individual goals and physical needs of each patient. Dr. Hess will discuss all of the options available to you and help you make a decision appropriate for your needs.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Injectable treatments are the most popular of all cosmetic procedures in northern Virginia and nationwide—by far. And, with quick treatments (usually 30 minutes or less), quick or even instant results, and effects that last for many months, it’s no wonder so many men and women turn to Botox, Juvéderm, and other products to keep them looking young and refreshed.
Eyelid Surgery
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, eyelid surgery was one the top five most popular procedures in the country in 2007. Eyelid surgery is uniquely able to eliminate saggy and tired eyes with tolerable downtime and provides noticeable, yet natural results. Scars are minimal and practically invisible, because the incision is concealed within the tiny crease of the eyelid.
Liposuction
If you’d like a flatter, firmer belly, you’re on the right track by considering a tummy tuck. But what about the excess fat along your hips and abdomen? Tummy tuck surgery can tighten muscle and remove excess, sagging skin, but liposuction is more effective when it comes to removing fat.
Breast Augmentation
Are you considering having your breast implants removed? You are not alone. While the vast majority of patients are very happy with their breast augmentation results, occasionally things can change, whether for cosmetic reasons, because of a change in lifestyle or aesthetic preferences, or due to complications.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is a procedure done to reshape and reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a smaller breast size in proportion with the body. Breast reduction surgery also alleviates the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery restores the breasts to a younger and “perkier” appearance by removing excess skin, lifting the nipple, and tightening the surrounding tissue. To further enhance the overall appearance of the breasts, this procedure can be performed in combination with breast implants.
Breast Reconstruction
A breast reconstruction patient who also happens to be a talented writer has kindly agreed to publish excerpts from her personal journals on our website, in an effort to share her experience with other breast cancer patients who are in the midst of a difficult and painful journey.
Plastic Surgery
Hess Plastic Surgery will close its doors on June 19, 2023. We share this news with heavy hearts and with deep appreciation for the patients who have entrusted us with their care throughout the past 19 years here in Fairfax. We are sincerely grateful for the confidence you have placed in us.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift surgery is technically one of two procedures, an inner thigh lift or an outer thigh lift. These can be performed in conjunction, though each is distinct.
Face Lift
Neck Lift
Blepharoplasty
An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) involves the surgical removal of loose skin and fat deposits that surround your eyes. Factors such as age, stress level, and heredity can all contribute to changes in the way your eyes look as you age. For some, this means an excessively puffy appearance, deep bags, or dark circles that won’t go away. When your eyes begin to look aged, it can convey unintended expressions, such as tired or sad, when you’re not. Eyelid rejuvenation surgery can help you reverse these affects of aging and look younger and much better refreshed.
Abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as an abdominoplasty, can provide a smoother, more toned appearance to your abdomen. During surgery, Dr. Hess removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten weakened or separated muscles, creating a smoother and firmer tummy.
Body Lift
Arm lift surgery is often part of post-bariatric body contouring surgery, a comprehensive approach intended to resolve the problem of loose body skin that may be present after major weight loss. Other common procedures include the tummy tuck, thigh lift, breast lift and body lift.
Breast Surgery
The flash recovery was originally tried by a surgeon in Texas and it was found to be wildly successful. So I adopted this Rapid Recovery program several years ago for breast surgery and my patients are very happy that I did. Most patients are back to their normal routine, including work-outs, in just a few short days.
Scar Revision
Scar revision is a surgical procedure that minimizes the appearance of scar tissue. Through techniques personalized to your specific needs, a scar revision procedure can help you regain a more normal appearance, soften scar tissue to improve mobility, and help you regain greater confidence in your appearance after injury, illness, or prior surgery.
Body Contouring
Whether a patient has chosen breast enhancement, body contouring, or facial surgery, we enjoy hearing that friends and family didn’t comment on an obvious surgical change. Instead, people notice that our patients look healthy, rested, and simply terrific.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a relatively common condition characterized by abnormally large, firm breast tissue on males, typically caused by hormone imbalance. For men who suffer from this condition, it’s embarrassing and uncomfortable to go shirtless in public and even in private.
Cosmetic Surgery
Dr. Hess will be moving to Florida, where he plans to practice at Premiere Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Tampa. The decision to close our doors was not an easy one, so please rest assured that it was made after careful consideration and with the best interest of our patients and our team at heart.

Acne Treatment
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels, also called chemexfoliation or derma peeling, are acids (mostly) that penetrate the skin to different depths, creating a wound. The cells are injured and can no longer stick to each other, thus the skin peels. This wound stimulates the growth of new skin cells and collagen, leading to new, healthier skin.
Rashes
Skin Care
A healthy appearance begins with great skin. Quality medical-grade skincare products and cosmeceuticals are like preventative maintenance for your face. Often working in concert with one another, the following treatments can maintain youthful complexion longer, and help you minimize visible signs of aging.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a process of mechanically exfoliating the skin. In the medical setting, this is performed via a device that consists of a diamond tip on a wand attached to a vacuum. The tip is passed over the skin and the vacuum removes the exfoliated skin.
