Dr. Howard Paul Heppe, MD

Dr. Heppe made my goals and dreams a reality. His remarkable knowledge and skills have enabled me to enjoy a whole new life! People can't believe that i was ever 160+ lbs overweight - my arms, legs, and abs look great! (When I had the tummy tuck, i went into surgery a size 14 and came out 3 hrs later a size 8!) After this multi-year journey with him, i smile a lot now - i have my confidence back, i LIKE looking in the mirror, and am doing things i haven't been able to do ever (or at least in 30+ years) like hang gliding, kayaking, horseback riding and jogging. The entire office - from doctors to nurses to admin staff have been so supportive during this amazing journey! Coming to Dr. Heppe was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life! I can never say thank you enough! Dr. Heppe and his office will always have my respect and appreciation. Sincerely, D. N.

I am 100% happy with the results of my surgery. On February 26, 2025, I had multiple procedures performed under general anesthesia with Dr. Heppe. The results exceeded my expectations — but just as importantly, the entire experience with his office was exceptional. From start to finish, Dr. Heppe's staff, nurses, and the entire team were simply wonderful. Elective surgery is not a decision to take lightly. It’s important to understand what will happen, how long recovery will take, and to set realistic expectations. Dr. Heppe’s team was incredible at walking me through everything. They explained each step clearly, made me feel comfortable, and reassured me throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how well the team works together. His staff has clearly been with him for a long time, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs — everyone knows their role, and they function like a well-oiled machine.

I am 3 months post op mommy makeover. The results have exceeded my expectations and I appreciate the personal attention I received from Dr Heppe and his staff.

I had fat transfer to my aging hands and it turned out even better than I expected. Compliments to Dr. Heppe for an extraordinary job.

I did my research and I found Dr Heppe was one of Northern Virginia’s top plastic surgeons. When I met Dr Heppe and his staff, I was very happy on how friendly and knowledgeable they were. On the day of my procedure, which is done in the building, I was very much impressed with how the process was done. All my questions and concerns were answered. I am a registered nurse, and I am acutely aware of when infection control procedures are followed and not followed, I absolutely felt safe in this environment. I am now three months out from my surgery and I am very much pleased with the results. I did not have any postoperative complications nor any infection. I honestly can highly recommend Dr.Heppe. I had a brachioplasty done and it’s the first time in 30 years that I’ve worn sleeveless tops and dresses. I wish I had done this earlier! Thank you to Dr Heppe and his staff. I have sent friends to him and they are pleased as well. Connie W RN

Dr. Heppe, or as I have nicknamed him, Dr. Happy, is truly a world class plastic surgeon. I had originally booked with a different plastic surgeon and after have a bad gut feeling, I did some research and found unfavorable feedback on said dr. Still wanting the surgery, I researched all the plastic surgeons within the MD/VA area and felt drawn to Heppe's credentials as well as client reviews. Meeting him in person, I instantly felt at ease and knew he was the Dr. I wanted to perform my mommy makeover. I appreciated his completely platonic analysis of my body, focusing on medical aspects, while also sharing his recommendations and expectations. Given the fact that the first plastic surgeon I had booked with felt like a used cars salesman, Dr. Heppe's technique was more medical and realistic focused. I am 10 days post op and am in love with my results! If you are reading this review because you need assurance to use Dr. Heppe or the extra push to go for it, do it!! It will be a day… you will celebrate where you regained your self confidence! Thank you to Dr. Heppe and his team for not only taking wonderful care of me but also being good sports in keeping up with the antics my post surgical care support (aka my crazy friends) and I put you through!

From my consult with Dr Heppe to my post-op appointment, the experience has been positive in every way. Dr Heppe listened and answered all my questions, never appearing rushed. I’m completely happy with my results! He far exceeded a Beverly Hills (best) surgeon who performed a procedure on me. The staff is friendly, caring and knowledgeable. A+

After living with large breast implants that had become uncomfortable and saggy. I decide to have them reduced and a lift. I got many recommendations and after meeting with Dr. Heppe and his wonderful staff I knew he was the right Doctor for me. I am only two weeks out of my surgery and just ecstatic about my results. Dr. Heppe exceeded my expectations and my results are even better than I could have imaged! Everyone in the office is friendly and super helpful! I can’t express enough how much I would recommend Dr. Heppe and his team!

. After 2 years of working out 3-4 time a week and eating clean ( most of the time lol) I just couldn’t loss my belly fat. It was so frustrating, so I decided to give Dr. Heppe office a call and immediately knew he was the doctor for me upon meeting him. He explained everything to me and I had 100% confidence in his results. He surly did delivery. I got the the belly I always wanted, looking, and feel fantastic. Looking forward to bikini's shopping for summer 2022. BTW he truly cares about his patients

Dr. Heppe is literally a plastic surgery genius! I had a breast augmentation procedure done, he was able to create the most beautiful breast I've ever seen out of what little I had. His work is worth much more than what he is charging.
