Been going to Christie for years for all my injectable needs. Always turns out natural and wonderful looking.

Always Christie for injectables. I just got lip filler for the first time. Was veryyyy scared but the be honest the experience was well worth it. I got numbed and did the pronox which helped a lot. I also took 2 CBD gummies lol which eased some of my anxiety. Most importantly, my lips look A+. I actually came back for more because I thought they looked so good and sexy! Hessler is the only place I trust for injectables. :-) read more

Doctor Hessler is a highly skilled surgeon. She is also a warm, friendly and compassionate doctor. If you put your face in her artistic hands, you will not regret it. I am 70 years old and one year out from a deep plane face and neck lift, lower blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing. I recovered quickly , and I am delighted with the completely natural looking results. Years have been erased from my face and I look like a younger version of myself. Many times I have seen women and it is obvious they have had face lifts. That will not happen if your surgery is performed by Doctor Hessler. I receive compliments on how wonderful I look, but even friends have not guessed. I look beautifully rested and natural, and as one gentleman told me, "You are too young to be retired"! My dance teacher who is 61 asked me how old I was and when I told her she was shocked. She said that she was jealous and it must be all the hard work that I do on my acre of land which keeps me looking so young! One of my dance partners assumed that I was his age, he is 57. Doctor Hessler has turned back the clock and now I look on the outside how I feel on the inside! My husband is delighted with the results, and is so very impressed with Doctor Hessler's surgical skill, and as he told me, her beautiful and now undetectable stitches. The all women staff are extremely competent, caring and follow you through every phase of recovery. I feel so lucky to have been recommended to Doctor Hessler. I am glad to support a woman doctor and her female staff, and I also encourage any man who needs a refresh to put yourself in her capable hands! There are other services that I take advantage of including lymphatic massage which is so soothing after surgery. I have Botox for maintenance, and she has a lovely skin care line. I highly recommend Dr. Jill Hessler and her staff at Hessler Plastic Surgery. Look no further for a stellar, professional and trustworthy surgeon. read more

I just had my 47th birthday so it was time for botox. I don't know why I waited this long! I was really nervous about my appointment but my injector was great. Really knowledgeable. The entire staff was really warm and friendly. Made me super comfortable the entire time. I have other aging concerns like skin tightening, weight, and hormone therapy. This place has everything, including an on-site surgery suite. I will definitely continue my relationship with them. read more

Amazing Dr Hessler! Helping us all stay beautiful! Awesome staff in a wonderful location! read more

Had the best experience at Hessler's office! I have been getting Botox for years and was ready to try filler for my first time... Victoria was so amazing--very skilled and attentive. my face looks incredible--natural, refreshed, and exactly what I wanted. The whole team was professional and welcoming. If you're considering any aesthetic treatments, this is the place to go! read more

I honestly don't understand the raving reviews. The place was nice, clean and they clearly do a high volume of patients, so there is that. I went in for nose job and felt very little care/concern provided and ultimately post surgery called with concerns on the brace they put on/recovery and was dismissed. They didn't even want to see me or address it and said just come at normal scheduled appoint. Nose was not straightened and they told me to use my fingers to shape it some excessive number of times a day to fix it. No real acknowledgement that my nose was very crooked still and the lack of significant improvement. It is very costly here and no follow up after the first appointment or even offer to try to fix. I wouldn't go back to have it fixed either way but they were happy to take my money and move on with life with no follow up or resolution what so ever. Well aware it won't always be perfect but low review is for how treated throughout the process, high price with little care or attention. read more

I had an amazing experience at Hessler Plastic Surgery! The staff was so warm and friendly. It was my first time getting filler so I was a little nervous, but Christy made me feel totally at ease and talked me through the whole process. And I LOVE my results! I've already recommended them to 2 of my best friends :) read more

When seeking a professional for my future surgery, I decided to have conciliations with 3 different Surgeons. After seeing the first two male Dr's which are board certified plastic surgeons, I felt curious to seek a female facial board certified plastic surgeon, intrigued by her focus on doing only facial procedures. At my conciliation, my positive experiences with Dr Hessler & her team gave me an immediate "YES!" She was very professional & friendly, explaining in detail the full process. She was the first Dr who explained corrections she could make with the addition of Septoplasty for correct a breathing issue due to my right nostril closing tightly when breathing in quickly. She also shared details about my thicker skin & how it most likely takes longer for the swelling to recover. I really appreciate her honesty & realism. She even offered a helpful discount for sharing my experience post surgery w/ before & after photos, which I felt is not only generous, but gave me confirmation that she is confident in her skillful outcome. During my appointment, It was reassuring to be informed that Dr Hessler is a motivated teacher as well & will be speaking this weekend at AAFPRS Masters of Facial Plastic Surgery Meeting discussing techniques with other masters in the field. I was offered a tour of the surgery room & all equipment was high-tech, sparkly-new with a large screen for up-close footage during surgery. I had my second pre-op appointment & it went smoothly. We went over preparation details & I was given a take-home folder with a shopping list. The most exciting part of this experience for me was to see the 3D image results of the desired new nose! It really helped to ease my mind of wondering what I would look like. I'm so grateful for the 3D imagery option with Dr Hessler Surgery! Today I received the results that I tested negative for Covid.. now in count-down mode for my surgery in less than a week. I feel super secure & that I'm in the best hands with this life-changing decision & I couldn't be happier! read more

Dr. Hessler is amazing. She offers objective advice on the treatments and products that will make a difference. She is extremely knowledgeable. Have been a patient for 2 years and can highly recommend. read more

After doing my homework for the last 6 plus years, I chose Doctor Hessler for my procedures and am so happy with the results. She recommended just enough to really make me feel youthful but not too much that anyone really knows I did anything. I get compliments on a regular basis, just the other day someone complimented me on my beautiful profile. I emphasized to Dr. Hessler that I only wanted to do any kind of surgery once and she assured me this would be the best way to feel youthful and age gracefully. Her staff is great and helps you all along the way. After almost 3 years, it has been a wonderful and life changing experience. Thank you to the Hessler Team! read more

Ultherapy is a procedure that sparks debate, with numerous concerning stories circulating. Perhaps, with thicker and darker skin, I might be a more suitable candidate, but I also believe the practitioner's skill plays a crucial role. I've been seeing Dr. Hessler intermittently for the past 8 years, mostly achieving great results. The noticeable transformation in the pictures convinces me to continue pursuing this for the well-defined jawline. The only concern is that the cost keeps going up dramatically every year.. read more

I have been a patient/client at Hessler Plastic Surgery for over 7 years and I really do appreciate Dr. Hessler's expertise and eye for the natural aesthetic. I schedule regular Botox and filler appointments and also have had skin treatments such as Fraxel, BBL, and microneedling (The Secret). Her entire medical staff/team are all highly skilled. I can honestly say that I looked more refreshed and younger now than when I arrived at my first visit. I highly recommend Dr. Hessler and her team. If I could give 10 stars, I would! read more

Dr Hessler was recommended to me by an ENT at Menlo Medical when I asked about filler. Just had filler & Botox with her. She was warm, professional, and thoughtful of where to put the Dysport so that it raised my outer brow without giving me a heavy brow in the center. she was thoughtful about the filler to lift my cheeks and soften the transition from my cheeks to eye area - I was very hollow there. 3 week update: Happy with the outcome, especially my raised lateral eyebrows. read more

I spoke to 4 different doctors before I met Dr. Hessler to do Buccal fat removal. She made me feel at ease from the moment I first met her , during and after the procedure. They were so thorough and extremely patient answering every question I had. Their office called me almost every day post-surgery to check up on me. Everyone's just so caring and wonderful! Words are not enough to thank her for taking care of me and for listening attentively to my needs. Plus I love the result !!!!!!!! read more

I was quoted $55,000 for a lower facelift and some other treatments. I was shocked and obviously too poor for this doctor. Starting at $10,000 for a blethoplasty alone. I know there aren't too many top female doctors and I guess you get what you pay for (shrug). read more

After spending years researching and preparing for having eyelid (upper and lower) surgery, I landed on Dr. Hessler. She is the best and when doing something to your face, you want the best! Now that I'm post op 3 months I can honestly say I wish I had done this years ago! From the beginning consult through surgery day and in follow up appointments, I have felt cared for and confident in my decisions. I cannot recommend Dr. Hessler more! I've had several procedures with Dr.Hessler's office and been so happy with my results! read more

After years of struggling from 4 to 6 sinus infections a year and breathing issues, I had developed obstructive sleep apnea and would only sleep an average of 3 hours a night, constantly waking up. I would wake gasping for air as my right nostril had very little airflow and when I would get congested at night is when I would have the hardest time breathing through my nose. I would end up breathing through my mouth most of the day and all through the night. That gave me other issues like irritated throat, dry mouth, and swollen tongue which made it hard to talk in the morning. I tried a wedge pillow, nose strip, humidifier and every nasal spray I could find finding only momentary relief ( minutes ) with the medicated nasal sprays. Nothing was helping and the lack of sleep was affecting me. Aesthetically I never liked my nose and I started hating it because it was causing me so many health issues. I decided enough was enough. I didn't want to keep complaining about something that could be changed. I decided I wanted to get a functional rhinoplasty (I had a deviated septum), to improve my breathing and improve the appearance as well. I did some research and after a couple of phone calls I decided that I wanted to go with Dr. Jill Hessler and I set up an in-person consultation. (I know with COVID 19 going anywhere is very different from before. Her office has a protocol in place and after being explained the details of it on the phone and in email I saw minimal risk and decided to move forward and go in person. My health had been so greatly affected by my nose that I decided the small risk was very much worth it.) I went in for my consultation and I truly felt like Dr. Hessler understood what I wanted.  I did choose Dr. Hessler because she specializes in the face and is an expert in noses. I felt confident she would improve my breathing and the look of my nose. My surgery date was scheduled for about a month after my consultation date. Everything went great!I had the best nurse, Devon she checked in on me every day for the first four days and made herself so available to answer all my questions. I really appreciate Devonand Dr Hessler they made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole thing .I experienced very minimal pain only the day of surgery at night and the 2 days following. I moved onto using tylenol on day 3. On day 3 I felt completely normal and I could not believe the airflow I was getting already! All of the bruising was gone by day 5. On day seven I was back to work and just had to be careful with lifting heavy objects on my day to day. I had post op for cast removal about a week after and it was easy and only mildly uncomfortable, not painful at all. I was told I was still very swollen that day but it already looked great to me. One week after that and most of the swelling was gone! I was not expecting results like this until 3 months in! I have been sleeping 6 to 8 hours a night. I am now about a year post op, zero complications not a single sinus infection, I can sleep like a normal person and have amazing air flow with no more congestion. I am very thankful for Dr. Hessler and her staff. Seriously just follow the instructions you are given and healing will be a breeze read more

Hessler Plastic Surgery - Before&after - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Dr. Hessler's team is awesome! Everyone is really friendly and knowledgeable. Aesthetic nurse Victoria has really helped rejuvenate my skin this past year with all of her skin care and treatment recommendations. I highly recommend this office! read more

It is my pleasure to provide this review of Dr. Hessler. I'm a 59 year old woman who came to Dr. Hessler hoping for a miracle with my sagging jowls and turkey neck. I just hated it. My self esteem really took a hit especially because I don't "feel" 59. She performed a deep plane facelift and removed my bags under my eyes. I'm only 3 weeks in as I write this and I look beautiful! I have never said that before. I'm so happy with my results. It was a quick recovery. Dr. Hessler is kind, competent, and you just feel you're in good hands because you are. Moreover, her staff of nurses are amazing! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Hessler for 5 years for regular Botox. She is very warm, accommodating, and professional. I would definitely recommend her! read more

This review is so overdue! I came to Hessler Plastic Surgery on the recommendation of a friend (a doctor herself) and was impressed by how kind, thorough, and extremely caring this team is. The teamwork is a reflection of Dr. Hessler, who is not only a skilled surgeon, but also a very warm person. I felt very comfortable through the whole process of undergoing a lower blepharoplasty. There is sometimes a wait before seeing Dr. H during appointments, but in a healthcare setting, this is a good thing! Patient education and thorough consultations take time, and knowing the perfectionist she is, Dr. H certainly took the time to understand my needs and explain all aspects of the procedure. Thank you Dr. Hessler and the team for your great work, I feel so much more confident now :) read more

If you're looking for a top notch facial plastic surgeon, look no further. I've been a patient of Dr. Hessler's for over 5 years and have found the Doctor and her staff to be the most highly knowledgeable and specialized in the Bay Area and beyond. A very delightful office. read more

I came to Dr. Hessler's office super open, looking for her and Christy's recommendations on how to improve my eye bags and lower face area, and 6 months later I'm here writing this in my 30s looking better than I looked in my teens. After consulting with the team I just knew that I didn't need to look any further, their communication was fantastic, I left there educated and confident in the plan we came up with. I underwent the combined procedures in one surgery: lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer, facetite with chin lipo, chin implant, and buccal fat reduction. The surgery center was great, I felt super safe with the team, the staff is just this group of super professional, competent, caring, and delightful women. My recovery was a breeze, with super minimal scarring. I feel like a million dollars, and I can't recommend them enough! read more

I had lower and upper blepharoplasty done with Dr Hessler and super happy with the results. 6 months post surgery and there is really no visible scar from the upper surgery. Her staff is also great to work with. The day of procedure I felt very well taken care of! Definitely recommend Dr. Hessler! read more

Dr. Hessler's clinic excels on every facet of facial surgery, judging by my experience: it offers enormous technical skill from Dr. Hessler herself to achieve exactly what the patient asks of her before going into the OR -- no more and no less -- and a support team that is both highly coordinated and efficient and genuinely caring about each patient. I had Dr. Hessler do a comprehensive face lift on me, including upper and lower blepharoplasty. The comprehensiveness of this treatment was very much my decision, after she laid out the various options for me -- there was no pressure whatsoever from her or her staff. Make no mistake about it, a facelift is real surgery, with anesthesia, a small risk of infection and other complications, a recovery period requiring supervision, and vast potential differences in scarring and outcome for visual attractiveness and perceived facial expression. A changed range of facial expression rather than a magical return to youth was in fact my main concern. For some reason age was making me look indefatigably stern to the point of obscuring positive social signals. Dr. Hessler got it. Nobody has noticed that I had something substantive done to my face, not even my young adult kids -- well, maybe they'd be the last to notice in any case. But I can sense that people are reacting differently to me now, responding to my smile when I do in fact smile, etc. Having looked at typical before-and-after pictures of facelifts done elsewhere (whether the cheapest or the priciest), I suspect that this subtlety in what she can achieve, using her own judgment and artfulness to give a patient exactly what is requested in what's ultimately a social change, really sets Dr. Hessler apart. As to that recovery period, I could see Dr. Hessler and her team every step of the way (as often as I would have liked, I suspect), have my healing monitored, and reassure myself that whatever minor discomforts I experienced were normal indeed. What might have been a disconcerting two weeks without Dr. Hessler and her team's careful follow-up was just a fairly stress-free hiatus from daily life, thanks to them. read more

Christy is the best!!! Absolutely love my results and had an amazing experience from start to finish. I can't wait to come back!

I am 44 y/o and recently had Co2 laser and upper blasphemy on my eyelids. I had my procedure on a Friday and was back to work on Monday (video off for only a few days while the laser healed and swelling subsided). I had ZERO bruising around my eyes - which I was pleasantly surprised by. My incisions are almost invisible (already!), only after two weeks. She even managed to work around my lash extensions, which held up perfectly through the procedure and the healing process. Dr. Hessler and team were extremely kind and walked me through everything before and after - no surprises. Thank you team for making making the experience a great one - and I'm loving the results thus far! read more

So happy I found Hessler Plastic Surgery. I have been receiving treatments for about 5 years. My skin looks better and younger today than it did 10 years ago. The staff is so friendly and professional. I always feel cared for and that I am getting the best care plan for my skin and my goals. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Hessler as she does beautiful, natural-looking work. After my procedures I looked 10 years younger and yet still looked like me. My friends who knew that I was having "work" done were so impressed and, as I had hoped, the people who didn't know didn't suspect a thing. After interviewing other surgeons, I chose Dr. Hessler for her excellent skills and bedside manner. I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

Dr. Hessler and team are awesome! I'd been thinking about a lower blepharoplasty for years and finally decided to pull the trigger. I went to several different consultations and felt most at ease with Dr. Hessler. Even though she was super busy I never felt rushed at my appt and she took the time to answer all questions. I was incredibly nervous because this would be my first surgery ever but Hessler and nurse Devon made me feel very comfortable from beginning to end. My biggest fear was not being sedated enough and that I would feel them working on me but I was knocked out completely, didn't feel a thing! Recovery was incredibly easy and the most pain (which was minimal) I had was in my belly from the fat transfer. My eyes were more uncomfortable rather than painful. Nurse Devon called everyday the first 3 days to check in on me and answer any questions I had which was great! I'm in love with the results and its really boosted my self esteem. I'll definitely be going back for more services read more

I love Hessler Plastic Surgery! I first visited after turning 36 and noticing my face was changing-- seemly overnight. Dr. Hessler helped explain that the changes I was seeing was due to facial volume loss and thus, I was first introduced to fillers. Dr. Hessler has a wonderful nurse, Sofia, who also does an excellent job with fillers (at a reduced price -- which is great for my student budget!). Sofia has also performed a series of microneedling with prp which made my skin GLOW like new baby skin. This treatment included subcision to tackle some unfortunately deep, old acne scars -- as the healing process has continued, I've definitely seen a reduction in the scar depressions. I'm now mid treatment using the new Secret RF (which is microneedling with radiofrequency) as a continuation of the scar treatment. An added (delightful and amazing) benefit is this also tightens and renews your skin. After one treatment, my whole face is lifted (including my brows!!!), and my complexion is brighter. I'm looking forward to seeing how my scars respond -- they already appear less noticeable, but the skin repair process take a couple months to have its full effect. I feel years younger and so happy with my appearance since coming here! Their work is very natural, as I don't look overdone in anyway. I just look like a younger version of myself. They don't try to sell you things you do not need and everyone in the office is super nice. Highly recommend! read more

I was just telling Dr Hessler that I recently saw photos of myself from 10 years ago and realized, with her artistic use of fillers and botox, she has made me look better than I ever have!!!! Not only is she truly gifted, but because she is also a warm and wonderful person, it's so very easy to communicate with her. She is always honest and her goal is to make me look natural but enhanced. One day I plan to have her do a facelift because I've seen her work and know I can trust her. CW read more

Jill Hessler, MD is an amazing surgeon. She is smart, professional, good listener & artful eye. Her team are just as great; I felt supported (done during CV-19) during the entire process (start to finish) and was explained realistically and accurately what to expect. I'm 53yo. With age, my top lip had dropped to cover my front teeth, and became thin almost a straight line.... so I wanted my lip lift to look natural with a perky kissable pout to show my top teeth like when I was young.... that is what I got!! I'm happy with my lip lift, glad I selected Dr Hessler. Thank you. read more

I just returned for my first Botox treatment since the beginning of the pandemic - and the experience was wonderful. There are clear instructions and protocols about arrival to keep everyone safe and distanced, the office spotless, as always the staff is super friendly and informative and Dr. Hessler is amazing. I was in and out and felt super comfortable the whole time. And the Botox lasts longer than most places I've heard of. Always highly recommend! read more

Awful people skills. Only interested in money. Have the money but please ping me if you have a question. She bought the building and we are paying for it. Did not have a patient coordinator, wants a consultation fee if you call with a question-each time! Awful experience. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Christy Fung, RN at Hessler Plastic Surgery! Christy is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. She made me feel so comfortable at my first appointment with her positive energy and friendly smile. I know I am in good hands when I see Christy for my injection appointments. Christy is gentle, and always makes me feel calm and welcome. I feel so lucky to know her and I highly recommend her! read more

I have been thinking about getting a facelift for some time, and after interviewing and researching several doctors, including head of plastic surgery at UCSF, I went with Dr Hessler. Aside from her curriculum vitae and bona fides which were everything I wanted, she has a very approachable, down to earth manner. (Not for nothing, but in her office I seldom have to wait.) Also, call me crazy, but I feel like a female doctor intuitively knows what women want, whereas a male doctor knows what men...want to see. At my first appointment we also discussed upper and lower blepharoplasty, and she was able to address an issue with slackness of muscle under my eyes no other doctor has. She also suggested fat transfer to upper cheeks and sides of chin, and lasering under the eyes to improve skin texture. This all added to the cost but in the end I decided to go for it. One and done! It was a long surgery. I was out completely but didn't get sick afterwords like I have in the past. I followed the pre and post directions closely. There was very little pain. I looked like a monster for about 5 days, which I was expecting, from bruising and redness from laser. I iced as directed or it probably would have been a lot worse. I was back at work after 10 days with heavy concealer. It has been 6 weeks since my surgery and I look fantastic. I am so glad I added the fat transfer and laser like Dr Hessler suggested. She has such a light, subtle touch. I look like me, but younger and much fresher. I'm 55 and feel 45. I could have paid less with someone else, but why gamble with my FACE? Finally a shout out to her office staff, esp. Reece, Camille, and Sophie. They couldn't be nicer and more helpful and answer questions and respond to emails quickly. They also have a great facialist on staff. I can't recommend Dr Hessler enough. read more

Dr Hessler is absolutely amazing! Her staff is great as well! They truly help you achieve the most natural and beautiful look to aide in feeling like your best self! She takes time to listen you and help achieve your goals. I would highly recommend Dr Hessler to anyone, even coming from out of town! read more

I am thrilled to have found Hessler Plastic Surgery! As I quickly approach 50 I have started thinking about the possibility of having a facelift. On a friends recommendation I made an appointment for a consult with Dr. Hessler. Dr. Hessler was wonderful, she was so kind and did a great job of explaining what she felt would need to be done to achieve the result I am looking for. When the time comes I will without a doubt have Dr. Hessler perform my procedure. On the day of my consultation I also had some Botox done. Dr. Hessler had a full schedule so I saw Sofia...I have been getting Botox for 20 years and I have to say quite honestly that Sofia is by far the BEST injector I have ever had! I am thrilled with the result and will definitely be going back to her. It is also worth noting that the office staff was wonderful as well. I felt so welcome from the moment I walked in the door. read more
