Stanley Hegg Obituary
age 68, died Thursday, March 21, 2013, in a tragic accident while skiing in British Columbia. Born in Seattle, Washington to Irene and Sterling Hegg, he grew up in Washington and Idaho. He graduated with a degree in Molecular Biology and Biophysics from Yale in 1966 and earned his MD in 1972 from Harvard Medical School, where he graduated cum laude. Stan received his surgical training at Stanford University before beginning private practice in the Bay Area. Stan was initially drawn to plastic surgery by the Stanford program Interplast, now named ReSurge International, that provides free reconstructive surgeries in developing countries. Stan performed hundreds of cleft lip and palate repair surgeries for impoverished children in Latin America and the South Pacific.
Stan was a talented surgeon and so much more. He will be remembered for his incredible intellect, gentle kindness, generosity, self-deprecating humor, infectious smile, his love of the arts, books, cuisine, outdoor adventure and most of all his family.
He will be profoundly missed by his wife, Laurie Karzen, his two children, Aaron and Meredith (Travis), his brother Warren (Miyuki), sister Margaret Farrell (David), his niece and nephews as well as Laurie's four children and eight grandchildren.
A memorial will be held Saturday in Tilden Park at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley at 10:30am. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions in Stan's name be made to ReSurge International: www.resurge.org.

Another year gone by and a piece of my heart still trying to heal. There is nothing I can say that everyone on this page hasn't said already. When I first came to you as a patient, I was barely 18 and I am now 56. I have NEVER found a doctor who could replace you. When doing research for surgeons I always compare them to you. I have turned down a few because no one compares to not only your work but the kind friend that you were. People don't understand how someone can love their doctor as much as I do as well as my family does too. We all miss you. The care you gave me was indescribable. I pray for your family because I know if I miss you this much, what have they gone through all these years. Thank you Lori for keeping this forum open all these years. God Bless you all.

Dear Dr. Hegg,
Another year has passed and I know I am not the only patient who continues to miss your wise influence and the medical care that went well beyond that Hippocratic Oath that you lived by with such honesty and honor. My thoughts and prayers are always with your loving family and dear friends and colleagues who knew you and loved you best beyond your office. I want them to know they are thought of and cared for in my prayers today. This year I am finding myself just as sad and incredulous at the loss of you as I was the day I heard the terrible news. It has not gotten any easier to accept. There is little consolation, except the remembrance of the scores of known and unknown good deeds and miracles you performed here on earth. You still are truly a legendary Doctor, and always will be. It is your Legacy. You made amazing differences in the lives of so many people. We are never, ever, going to forget you. I count myself so fortunate to have had you as my Dr. You will always be an inspiration. in humanity and character. to me. You will always be shining star in our skies. I send my warmest regards, respect and deepest sympathy for Laurie, kids and your entire family as I do my humble best to honor your memory here today.

Another year to say how much I miss you. You were not only my doctor since I was 18 (now 55) but my friend. I trusted you with all my being. When I was scared you comforted me. You would leave in the middle of the night and meet my husband and I at your clinic when I needed you. When I got so sick, you were there till the end. For that you are not only a Doctor but a fabulous human being with the kindest heart. I miss our talks about your family and how you loved your outdoor adventures. You truly took a piece of my heart . I have never trusted a doctor since, the way I trust you. I talk about you often. I will never forget the day, I was told you were gone. I am crying right now as I remember that day standing in my loft. I believe God put you here to help people. But in March of 2013 he wanted you back. You are truly a man who earned his wings. Now you fly high and watch over your wife and kids. I even feel like you are there with me sometimes when I medically get scared. I miss you.

Dear Stephanie, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your touching tribute to Dr. Hegg and for all of your past posts as well. Your words beautifully encapsulated his essence, and they deeply resonated with everyone in our family. Knowing that he continues to be greatly loved and fondly remembered brings us immense comfort. It warms my heart to know that he made a significant impact on your life, just as he did on mine. With warm regards, Laurie

Dr. Hegg was the epitome of a gentleman and a scholar. Add to that, he was an artist, and a true humanitarian. He was generous with his time with his patients, a priceless commodity in our world. Dr. Hegg was an all around sportsman, and had a healthy dose of good looks and the modesty to accompany them. He was a true GEM of a human being. Obviously, after all these years, I still hold him in highest esteem and truly miss his counsel and skills as my Dr. I'm sad that the world is missing out on the gifts he gave so freely. As always, my wishes for peace and comfort are with his wife and their family, as well as his many friends and colleagues and his patients. He was a great man.

I was blessed to be a patient of Dr. Hegg´s and I say blessed because every time I look at my body I fall in love all over again! I am the benefactor of his skills as a surgeon and his generosity of giving his time to come to my home to check on me...I believe no other surgeon would have been so thoughtful and caring! For me he is truly missed but will never ever be forgotten.

I think of Dr Hegg every time I look in the mirror. I would love to get rid of these wrinkles but he´s not here. He did my breast reduction and did a wonderful job.. He was so handsome, he looked like Harrison Ford and SuperMan balled up together. The nicest man you could ever know. Very professional. God Bless his family who miss him everyday. Just know he´s just a thought away.

Ten years have passed but not a day goes by that you are not with me in my heart. Whenever I am missing you, I also remember how fortunate I was to be your love, your best friend and your wife. Our life together was packed with rich and fulfilling moments and experiences. You used your skills, intellect, passion, kindness and generosity to make a difference in people's lives near and far. The tributes here and simply the fact that you are respected and remembered by many means the world to me and to our family.

Still missing my cousin Stan. He had a bit of a wild side when he came to visit his Washington state cousins. When we were young adults he came to visit our English Grandma Ada. I lived a several blocks away then. So, I drove over and, he asked to my car. It was a bright orange 240Z, and, man, did he drive it...up & down the streets of Aberdeen like a teenager, squeeling around corners. So much fun!!! I´ll always remember that special time.

Another year has passed and it is no exaggeration to say that this world is a lesser place without our incredible Dr. Hegg. I'm sending my deepest sympathy to all of his beloved family and friends. Please know and take comfort in knowing how much he was loved and respected by all of his patients and colleagues. Dr. Hegg. We miss you and all the good things you did in the world.

The years have passed but your memory has never faded. Your infectious smile and kind loving ways will always remain. When your name comes up in conversation, a sad but sweet feeling of a life cut short but so well lived fills my heart. You were certainly one of a kind Dr. Hegg. Gone way to soon but never forgotten. ❤

Still finding comfort, joy and appreciation for the many quips you often shared about life, living and death itself. We are all better and more "real", as the Skin Horse would say, by the words you have spoken and the stories you have told.

I STILL miss my favorite and most trusted Dr. I mourn knowing his brilliant mind and amazing humanity is gone from his family and his patients. Dr. Hegg was never snobby or talked down to me. He really listened to my concerns and he never exploited or tried to over-treat me for the sake of making money. His ethics were impeccable and his advice was solid gold. Needless to say he is irreplaceable to his family, but he is also irreplaceable to his patients who had deep reliance and trust in him. Gone but never forgotten Dr. Hegg. I'm sending another round of Sincerest Sympathy to those dearest to you, your family and your loyal Office staff. Till next year, RIP. patient-Stephanie Fisher

This man wasn't just a doctor to me, he was a friend. Someone who genuinely cared about people even after they left his office. There isn't a doctor out there I don't compare to Dr. Hegg. I will NEVER be able to replace him. Nor would I even try. I miss him very much.

He was very kind and generous. He truly loved what he did. When I couldn’t see myself getting out of bed to drive over an hour to his office, he made a house call. He will always be in my thoughts and his loved ones in my prayers. I will always be grateful for how he helped me.

Words can’t express how wonderful he was. He performed surgery on me in 2010, and here is ten years later and I still speak of how kind he was. I recently had some work done and I expressed to the doctor the experience I received with Stanley. I have not been happy with any other plastic surgeon. I guess I will always compare other doctors with him. Stanley was God’s gift to the world, and he will always be remember. I pray his spirit remains hovering over his wife, children, and grandchildren.

Sending my continued heartfelt sympathy to Dr. Hegg's extended family, friends and colleagues. I often wonder how you all are doing. I can only imagine how this terrible loss still hurts all of you after all these years. As one of Dr Hegg's patient I miss him too. He was the best Dr. I ever knew and was such a kind, generous and humane man, not to mention just the best Dr. in the world. I trusted him and his advice on my medical questions implicitly and he is irreplaceable. Thank you for the pictures of him with all of you. It is nice to see what a beautiful family he has and the happy moments you all shared. Dr. Hegg you were so special and will be missed forever by so many. RIP.

Please know that our family and I appreciate and cherish each and every thoughtful post on this site. Today, I am sending my own post to my husband:
You once wrote that you could not imagine an alternative universe - a meaningful life without me. Well my love, I could not imagine it without you either! You still remain my Northstar. Four precious grandchildren have been born in the last five years and it breaks my heart that you are not able to share in the joy they continuously bring. Six years you are gone and the yearning is as strong as ever. You are one of the best things that ever happened to me and I was blessed that you felt the same. I am a better person because of you. Thank you so much for the sweet and lasting memories. Rest In peace knowing that you made a difference and that you are remembered and loved by so many.

Not a single day passes that you don't cross my mind but today you're absence is felt even more. Jackson asked to read "the special book on the shelve next to the picture of mommy and the doctor" it made me tear up (and now I'm crying again). As I was reading him one of the Grimm stories I could hear is being read in my mind by your voice, in that moment I knew you were with me. You have been such a huge part of my life since the day I met you in the hospital when I was born, what are the odds that a cleft lip & palet surgeon would be passing through a hospital he doesn't work at to meet up with a friend for lunch and hear a page over head about a little girl born with cleft lip & palet. He was meant to be in my life, thank you for not only making me the woman I "look" like today but being a big part of the person I am today. I've always wanted to make you proud and I couldn't love you more than if you were my own blood.
Missing you extra today.
Love,

Once again I visit Dr. Hegg's memorial here online as I have each year. He is irreplaceable and still fiercly missed.
Dr. Hegg did so much good and was such a kind and humble man, and it's sad because men like that are few and far between. As a Dr. he can't be replaced I fear. As his patient for at least 2 procedures starting in 1999 I still don't know who to go to for any follow up or new work. I have tried to look online for candidates but no one compares. He is missed in so many ways. My condolences again to his wife and children and Patty and the rest of his staff. None of you are forgotten.
March 25, 2015
Dr.Hegg was the nicest person. He performed surgery on me,I didn't have enough money,I told him I will pay him monthly payments.he asked me how much I could pay.i told him he said that's fine he will do the surgery for that much which was less then half. My prayers are with his wife and family.you will be misses.

I was in San Leandro today to make an appointment in person and I did not see Dr. Hegg's name on the door ! I thought perhaps he had retired but I decided to google him anyway just in case he just moved his office. WHAT A SHOCK to see this memorial for him. he was the BEST plastic surgeon EVER! He had corrected a deformity that made me self conscious for a very long time. He once called me brave. I will never forget his words and I will never forget him. RIP Dr. Stanley Hegg. You will be missed.

Dear Family of Dr. Hegg, today my thoughts of Dr. Hegg were very strong. I was sitting outside playing with my dogs and reflecting on things and how people make others feel. I thought of Dr.Hegg and how he was so loved and questioned how a person becomes such a wonderful soul. I went online to see the date he passed. No surprise that it was last year to the day, Thursday. I think of you every day Dr. Hegg, when I apply my makeup to the beautiful face lift you performed on me 7 weeks before your accident. I will never forget how awesome you were to me and I send my prayers for your family again. Thank you so much for being you.

While getting my hair done yesterday, my hair stylist asked me who was my surgeon for the face lift I had in 2008. When I told her Dr. Hegg - she informed me that he died due to a skiing accident. I couldn't believe it....and now I see on the internet that it was a year ago! I feel compelled to add a comment to his guest/client book. Dr. Hegg performed several surgeries on me since I met him in 1993. I have come to think of him as someone special. When I would meet with him for appointments, we would chat about my sons and trips. I am deeply saddened to hear of his death. He not only was the best surgeon - but such a good person. I can't imagine how Patty is doing - I think she worked with Dr. Hegg for over 25 years. My heart hurts for Patty and his family.

Dr. Hegg performed surgery on my daughter when she was 10 months old. He was as kind with me as he was with her. Many years later he operated on my other daughter and she loved his care. I remember him as funny as well as kind. He obviously led a well-lived life. My prayers are with the family he left behind as well as the patients who loved him. I hope the fond memories you have of him will bring you warm smiles in the years to come.

I am devastated. I have gone to him for 15 years. I just saw him a few weeks before this accident, and I called just now for my yearly appointment and they did not tell me what happened, so I looked him up, and found this. Dr. Hegg was one of the most gentle and kind men I ever met. He was an artist and such a sweetheart. I do not know who I am going to go to now. I trusted him completely.
I am so sad. He will truly be very missed.

I think wherever you are you are, you are making good things happen just you did in this life. Respectfully, your patient Stephanie Fisher

I am just so shocked and saddened to hear about dear Dr. Heggs untimely passing! I had not seen him in a few years because I had suffered the loss of my 30 yr old son in Afghanistan but tonight was I just looking him up to see about a visit to get his help to help reverse some of the terrible grief on my face. He was the only one I trusted! I just can't get over it! He was so special, so wise and kind and ethical and professional and skilled. There is no replacement for him!I talked to him a couple of times in passing about his off the grid ski adventures and told him he was too brave for me. How ironic that would be the last conversation we had. My deepest sympathy to your wife and kids whom you spoke fondly of. Words just fail me here. I am beyond sadness for all of you and his beloved staff. Patty where are you?

I was a patient of Dr. Hegg nearly a decade ago, but I was deeply impressed with him. His demeanor, his talent, his wonderful spirit...I have kept him in mind all this time. So much so that I have referred many clients to him over the years. The most recent person I referred contacted me yesterday to let me know that your Stan had been tragically killed, and I just needed to reach out. He touched many peoples' lives in a kind and loving way; he is greatly appreciated. I hope you and your children feel some comfort from the words of love expressed here. I am terribly sorry for your loss.
Thank you for keeping this page up as an outlet for those of us whose lives he touched, that would otherwise have no closure. Beautiful life, wonderful man.

I am very sorry for the loss of such a great person. I was going over a couple emails I had received from Dr. Hegg regarding a surgery I was contemplating for this year and I decided to google his website online for the phone number. I heard so many great things about him and his charity work. Very sad.
August 12, 2013
I called Dr. Hegg's Office to schedule an appt. and because I couldn't remember the number, I did a Google search on his name. I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. He was a gifted surgeon and could always be counted on to give his honest opinion and advice. He was funny, witty, intelligent, and delightful. He will truly be missed.

Via a box of books donated to the Nampa, ID public library, I have found a file folder full of Dr. Hegg's childhood momentoes. Is anyone in the family interested in receiving these items?

Im a patient of Dr. Hegg and it took me a long time to write this because i was devistated about his death. I met doctor Hegg in 2011 when i walked in his office nervous about having surgery he made me feel so comfortable because i was from Rochester NY and he worked for a while in Buffalo NY we started talking about the awful weather there and from then on we were the Best of Friends. He would tell me stories and i would tell him stories and we always would laugh until we cried. Everytime i come into the office i would call him Handsome and he would call me Gorgeous. Dr. Hegg was a scholar and a true gentlemen and when i had my surgery he saved my life twice on the table because of my diabetes. I loved his work and i loved Dr. Hegg. There will be no one like him. I will truely miss him.

What a sad day. Just found out about Dr. Hegg's passing. What a generous soul and wonderful plastic surgeon. He conducted his work with the utmost integrity and honesty. I trusted what he had to say and listened to his suggestions. My thoughts are with his beautiful family and he will be missed.

Dr.Hegg was my doctor for 40 years. He was not only my doctor but a wonderful friend. He is the only doctor I ever met that made house visits. believe me he made plenty to mine. My husband and I really enjoyd his company. He would have a glass of wine with us and of course something to eat. Boy did he like to eat. God Bless him. My heart is totally broken. My heart goes out to his wife and children. I loved Dr.Hegg ans always will. Love,Stella Quien

I told my husband that I LOVED my DR. HEGG because he was the best human being I had ever met..sweet,gentle,kind,generous and so gifted as a surgeon.He told me just three months ago after my procedure that his passion was to make people as beautiful as he could and he did touch our spirits and hearts with his caring ways and that great smile.Oh how broken hearted we all feel and to his family know that his name and his life will never be forgotten.I AM so happy that he was in my life.HE CHANGED MY LIFE AND I WILL THINK OF HIM EVERYDAY ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE WHAT HE DID FOR ME IN THE MIRROR.When the wind blows I will know it is you DR.HEGG.What a tragedy and to his family we all feel your pain.I HOPE you will begin to heal and stay close as a family.

My thoughts and prayers and with Laurie and Stan's whole family and family of friends. I only met Stan a few times, but was struck by his kind and gentle manner. I know he will be missed, but remembered by so many.
