Jason Hess, MD, FACS

San Diego’s Best Tummy Tuck and Mommy makeover Surgeon

Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jason R. Hess

Dr. Jason Hess specializes in the Tummy Tuck and Mommy Makeover surgeries in San Diego, California. He consistently has the lowest tummy tuck scars and has refined his surgical skills over the past couple decades. Dr. Hess is highly regarded by his patients for his meticulous attention to detail and his gentle bedside manner.

Dr. Hess grew up in the Midwest where he gained the core values he maintains today. He knew from early childhood that he wanted to study medicine and become a surgeon. Dr. Hess has always loved drawing and the field of art, so plastic surgery was the perfect outlet to explore and perfect techniques. Plastic surgery is by far the most creative mix of art and medicine because as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Hess has to go beyond the text book and think outside the box to tailor each specific procedure for a patient.

His education began at the Ohio State University where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in Molecular Genetics. In medical school, he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society, an award reserved for the top 10% of physicians. At the University of Texas in Houston, one of the busiest trauma centers in the country, Dr. Hess began his general surgery training. This center is acclaimed as the largest medical complex in the world.

Then, he dedicated a year to basic science research in the study of peripheral nerve regeneration at Washington University with one of the nation’s leading experts in peripheral nerve surgery. (Scroll down for more information about Dr. Jason R. Hess)

I received a mommy makeover from Dr. Hess Nov. of last year. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Hess and his staff are amazing, helpful and compassionate. My results are beyond anything I could have imagined, his attention to detail is impeccable.
