Testimonials

I flew all the way from Nebraska to see Heather. Her level of education and expertise makes me feel so informed and comfortable. I trust her injecting me because I know she can make full facial assessments and be able to handle any safety situations if they arise. People need to be aware and consult with their injector to make sure they have a high level of experience and education like Heather. She is AMAZING!

Heather is so talented and knowledgeable, she has an eye for perfection and has taken injectables and anti-aging procedures to a new level. I recently had Sculptra injected into my elbows to improve the look of crepey, sagging skin and what a difference it has made! Next up, my knees! The office is beautiful and the entire staff is friendly and helpful. Wonderful experience.

I recently visited Heather at Beck Aesthetic Surgery and she is truly amazing. I went in there not aware of issues with shape & unevenness in my face. She pointed out my facial issues. I went in there with an uneven jawline, no shape in my cheekbones, and basically no lips (they were very thin). Thanks to her attentiveness to detail I have fuller lips, fuller cheeks and jawline. Heather was determined to create fuller lips and I love her determination. Heather is amazing and the best in what she does. Highly recommend Heather!! You will not regret it!

Heather is the absolute best. She never tries to oversell and is so knowledgeable. I feel really comfortable every time I’m in the room with her. she always gives the most natural look.Can’t say enough good things! The entire office is fabulous!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Beck. Heather is the “master” of her trade!! There is absolutely no one else I would go to for injectables. I drive 2 hours just to see her and I am grateful to be able to do so. She is professional, honest, compassionate, and always has the patients best interest at the forefront of treatment decisions. Highly recommended!!

Heather is an amazing injector! She is extremely knowledgeable and discusses all the options to get the most natural looking results. Charlotte is so lucky to have her.
