Reviews for Body Procedures Near Pittsburgh, PA

dr. Fernau and his staff are some of the most friendly caring people I’ve ever met. A bit anxious because I wanted so much work done that it was a very long procedure. I got my under arms Lipo and Lipo 360 peck bicep and tricep implants everything better than I had imagined, the outcome was amazing. I even had a lot of personal things going on and they were so empathetic and so helpful. If I wasn’t moving away, I would be back once a month for touchups on skin care. I’ll never find another surgeon as caring and his talent to his Dr. Fernau . More

I called Dr Fernau’s office for an emergency implant replacement after an unfortunate mammogram incident . My prior Dr from 21 years ago retired and Dr Fernau’s office immediately scheduled me right in. By the following Monday I was scheduled for surgery and could not be happier with the results. They replaced both implants and a fat transfer which now allows me to zip up those old jeans. An extra bonus! The nurses and staff are wonderful and they make you feel comfortable. Dr Fernau is an artist in his field. I highly recommend and cannot thank them all enough! More

Extremely Professional and Comfortable Experience - Dr. Fernau sat with my husband and I and discussed all the options we had. We felt that he took his time answering our questions. All of the staff were beyond kind. I had liposuction of abdomen, flanks, and back. Had an augmentation and fat grafting to breasts. Would recommend 10/10 More

want to start by thanking Dr. Fernau and his staff for all they did for me. Not only did they make the surgery process comfortable, but they showed me grace and kindness from the start. It can be quite an intimidating process to obtain a surgery. Additionally, to take care of something that has been a bother for about 15 years of life. Sheila, Sherry, Ryan, Amber, Michelle, Mara, Cindy, Alexa, and Amenah are quite an all star team. Dr. Fernau and staff performed SAFE Liposuction of my chest with Renuvion radio frequency tightening and fat grafting into the pectoralis major muscle. I couldn’t be happier with the results. 15 years of pain and discomfort gone in a few short hours. All of my fears of post surgery went scarce with the support from the staff and post operation procedures. I can’t thank them enough for the lending hand. More

Absolutely thrilled with the results Dr. Fernau and his professional staff provided. I opted for the textured, teardrop shaped implants hoping for the most natural look possible and could not be more pleased. I also had liposuction on my neck followed by Renuvion to get rid of my double chin and neck sagging. Each day the results look better. Thank you, Dr. Fernau, Shelia, Alex, Amber, Sherry, Ryan, and Mara. Each of you made me feel understood. I did my “online research” and even had a consult with a surgeon closer to home. I’m so glad I went with my gut and sought out another surgeon. My sincerest thank you for making my wishes come true. PS: I’m planning on coming back for a tummy tuck once I have the funds! More

Dr Fernau and his entire practice were an absolute dream to work with. From Mara at the desk, to the nurse Sheila, and the doctor himself. I got a mini tummy tuck, lipo, and fat grafting. My TT scar is so low! Perfectly carved. I am so grateful to have found him. More

Dr Fernau and his staff has made me feel welcomed and confident in his skills to give me the shape I’ve always desired. I’ve went to him twice already and he’s very approachable, very respectful and empathetic and does amazing work. He lets you know if he can or can’t do something, his staff are very polite and comforting and I would 100% go to him for future procedures. He did my buttock augmentation in 2019/2020 and another round of lipo this February 2023 and I’m very pleased with my results and he made me feel so much more confident. Highly recommend him for trustworthy and affordable surgery. :) More

dr. fernau and his team are quit wonderful! they are all very knowledgeable in what they do. I had a fat transfer to my hips, and I couldn’t be more happier with the results will definitely be back for future surgeries! More

Breast Augmentation from start to finish was a great experience. This was my first time with any type of procedure let alone a cosmetic procedure. I didnt know what to expect. Office was very kind to answer any of my questions and Sheila even answer my text while on vacation. I'm very please with the result and would be love to have lipo or tummy tuck in the future. I will post results if that time comes! Thank you for the wonderful service you provide ❤️‍ More

Dr Fernau and his staff have been absolutely wonderful! I came to him in a very desperate situation as I had experienced complications with a burn and subsequent problems with cortisone after a scar revision from a different doctor. I was looking for a doctor who was well versed in fat grafting. He ended up suggesting a less invasive route using laser procedures and filler. I have had laser procedures in the past; however, he REALLY knows what he is doing! My scar is BARELY noticeable now (and it only gets better each time). He is EXTREMELY skilled and also has wonderful bedside manner. Sheila, the nurse, has the warmest personality and made me feel so comfortable. Everyone in the front office is friendly and helpful. They have helped bring back my confidence, and I couldn't be more thankful that I found this practice! More

First off I want to say that Dr. James Fernau is absolutely amazing at what he does. He is so talented/knowledgeable and it clearly shows. I am so incredibly happy with my results. I got Lipo with Renuvion and my results from that are even better than I could imagine. I then got a BBL and my results from that are fantastic. I am so truly happy with my experience with Dr. James Fernau and his wonderful staff especially Sheila she is so kind and willing to go out of her way to help you. I definitely know where I’ll be going if I want anymore procedures in the future. 10/10 experience More

I truly had the most amazing experience at Dr. Fernau’s office. He and his staff treated me with the upmost respect and always made me feel heard. I felt so comfortable with Sheila and Sherry as they helped me through my post op recovery. I had liposuction and fat grafting and I am extremely happy with my results. Thank you to Dr. Fernau and everyone else on the team for making this a safe and enjoyable experience! More

After 2 back surgeries and 7 years for not being able to walk properly or stand up straight I had finally gotten to a place of health where my mobility was normal. After 2 years of weightloss post back surgeries I was left with loose skin and uneven fat distribution around my body. I had a lipo 360 procedure done at another facility but was left very underwhelmed by the result. I had consulted with several other places in the tri state area but immediately following my consultation with Dr. Fernau I knew this was the place The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the Dr. listened to my concerns over recovery with respect to my back issues. I had a mini tummy tuck and lipo of several areas. The whole process was incredibly professional and I felt safe and confident throughout the process. It is now 2 weeks post surgery and although I am still in recovery the results are amazing. I now have a beautifully natural hourglass figure and my confidence in my appearance is the best it's been since before my spine injury. My goal over the past years has been to get past the toll the spine injury took on my mind and my body. Dr. Fernau and his staff have helped me take a huge step in achieving that goal and I can't thank them enough! More

Dr. Fernau and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable. My experience from day 1 (consultation) for gynecomastia / liposuction surgery exceeded all of my expectations. Ms Shiela was very kind and warm. She made me feel extremely comfortable and explained everything in understandable detail. Every visit she greeted me with a smile and made me feel at ease in the process. Dr Fernau was very personable and confident in achieving my desired results. I can honestly say he truly cares about his patients. Needless to say, I’m extremely happy with his work and my results. I met Ms. Sherry the day of my surgery and the post-surgery follow-up. She was very kind and personable as well. I cannot thank this staff enough for their continued professionalism and support both before and after my procedure. I highly and strongly recommend giving them the opportunity to help you look and feel your best! I look forward to my next appointment for the stitches removal. God bless! More

After a lot of research I decided I wanted a drainless tummy tuck. The first time I met with Dr. Fernau I knew that I wanted him to be my surgeon. He’s truly caring, listens and is easy to talk to. His practice uses the best and newest technology, and he always puts patient safety first. He ended up doing my tummy tuck and some lipo. My results exceeded my expectations, he is truly a perfectionist! The best part of it all is that it was as painless as it could be. I never even took a pain pill. He also gives complimentary laser treatments on your scars- as many as you need until it’s gone! The entire staff there is caring and extremely welcoming! Sheila, Alana and Amber make you feel completely at ease. I really can’t say enough good things about Dr. Fernau and his staff! More

I needed a mommy make over after having my last child. Dr. Fernau did the most amazing job!! He listened to all my concerns and eased all my fears and concerns. I loved how he was using all the new state of the art techniques and products. And most important, safety was his number one goal. As a new mom that was so important to me!!! I had a tummy tuck many years ago and I was amazed at how much faster my recovery was this time compared to my first one. I even had more procedures with my tummy tuck this time which included , liposuction of multiple places , breast implant exchange, and a breast lift. I was back to work in 2 weeks, I was shocked. His staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the surgical process. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my entire experience was from start to finish! More

Wow wow wow!!!! I don't even know where to begin... Excellent bedside manner... Nurse Sheila...is amazing and I truly felt as if she was my best friend in this entire journey and she was there every step of the way from first consult and is always in reach when needed. She is truly a beautiful wonderful soul . Now let's talk about Dr. Fernau... I have done extensive research over the last two years and finally narrowed my search down to 3 doctors to consult and scheduled Dr. Fernau first... Needless to say I cancelled the other 2 consults on the spot!!! I fell in love with his amazing down to earth personality... He makes you feel you beautiful just the way you are and most important his strong confidence made me feel secure, safe, and excited to move forward ( btw I've read a few other reviews that referred to him as arrogant.. he is NOT arrogant at all!!! it's called CONFIDENCE people!!! that's what you should expect and require when selecting a surgeon) his experience, training, results, and track record speaks for itself. I immediately felt safe and at ease... I initially wanted a 360 lipo he strongly encouraged I add a BBL and he was CONFIDENT in this suggestion and was able to provide me with his vision.... I agreed (there was absolutely no pressure)... Boy oh boy!!! I am glad I did!!! The BBL is actually my favorite part!!!This man knows his stuff... Trust him!!! I am only on day 3 And I already look AMAZING!!!! I am SOOOOO happy with the results already I don't even know what to do myself!!! I'll probably end up with at least 5 more husbands, 6 boyfriends, and more babies (just kidding lol) he did a superb job!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. FERNAU AND HIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!! With that said...Thank you Dr. Fernau and Team!!! More

If you are looking for great staff and doctor you need to go to Dr. Fernau, they take care of you as if you are family. His staff always put you first.

I had a liposuction procedure with Dr. Fernau and could not be happier with the results. Currently only a couple of weeks post procedure, I am down 2 shirt sizes, lost 15 pounds, and best of all love the way I look in the mirror. Dr. Fernau is meticulous and will work hard to give you the best possible result. Shiela is amazing. Could not recommend them more! More

I just finished day seven of my post-surgery checkup with Dr Fernau, and here’s my personal experience. Upon arrival of my consultation, I was greeted by the friendliest staff. Every one of them helped in my progression, aided in my treatments, calmed my anxiety, and exceeded my expectations. Scheduling surgery and getting the medications for the operation were straightforward. As for the surgery, the instructions were clear, the procedure explained, and questions answered. The results were beyond what I expected. Dr Fernau is exceptionally passionate about his work and cares for his patients. The open communication that Dr Fernau has with his staff is what creates such a successful business model and positive outcomes for his patients. After surgery I had difficulty walking, and one of the staff members helped my wife with taking me home. The compassion, dedication, and excellence that I experienced with Dr Fernau and his staff give me the pleasure of providing the highest of recommendations. More

Turning 41 this year and being active my whole life I started to realize areas that were always lean began to have fat deposits. I began to look for a remedy. I found Doctor Fernau on an internet search of top plastic surgeons in Pittsburgh. After reading hundreds of positive reviews I decided to make an appointment. When I first walked in the office I was greeted by his staff. During my consultation I found Doctor Fernau to be really down to earth. He answered every question I had and made suggestions of what my options were. I decided to have abdominal etching, liposuction of my love handles, and some fat grafting using the Hydrosolv form of liposuction. The day of surgery I was visited by Dr. Fernau and went over each step of the operation. During this time I asked Dr. Fernau if some of the fat taken could be placed into my calves. With out hesitation Dr. Fernau made this happen. I'm currently 6 weeks post op and couldnt be more satisfied. He's a skilled surgeon, but most importantly he honestly makes you feel like you matter. Any one looking to have any type of cosmetic/reconstructive surgery Dr. Fernau should not only be first on your list, but the only one on your list. More

Dr. Fernau and his staff are amazing! In June 2018 I had a no drain lipoabdominoplasty and the results are better than I ever could have imagined. During the consultation, I was given the options based on what I wanted to accomplish and Dr. Fernau was very honest with me in which procedures would get me the best results. In deciding to go through with the tummy tuck, Sheila was a wealth of knowledge in going over the paper work and preoperative procedures. On the day of the surgery at Trinity Hospital (and their staff was amazing too!), I was nervous, but knew I was in good hands because of how thorough and meticulous Dr. Fernau was before we went into the room for surgery. After surgery I couldn't believe how good I felt and already looked! The recovery process was much better than expected (I never took a pain pill!). I was walking pretty much normal after a week and back to normal activities within 6 weeks. My life has changed completely due to this procedure and the wonderful results thanks to Dr. Fernau. I am continuing to workout and watch my diet and after 5 months post-op I am down 20 pounds and look like a whole knew person! I highly recommend Dr. Fernau and his staff. They are truly AMAZING!

Very happy with my results - I had a Labiaplasty with Dr. Fernau and I'm very happy with my results. He and his staff are great and he just very thorough in expaining your procedure. He truly cares about his patients and their satisfaction with his work. I highly recommend him! More

Phenomenal experience - From the first consultation, Dr. Fernau and his staff were beyond welcoming and helpful. He made me feel like I was his only patient. He seemed genuinely excited about my procedure and getting me the results that I wanted. He's a perfectionist and won't settle for less than perfect results. He travels around the world attending conferences related to his trade. He has his finger on the pulse of the latest technologies. I lost about 100 pounds 2 years ago and my breasts were loose bags of skin and tissue. He performed a breast lift and augmentation using the PAM technique. Its only been a month, but I can't believe how good they look. The scarring is so minimal right now and they look like full, natural breasts. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Fernau or my experience. I plan to go to him again for an abdominoplasty next year. More

27 YO Labiaplasty - I had my labiaplasty procedure done today with Dr. Fernau. He's such a great doctor and sees to it that you're well taken care of and informed. His staff is very friendly and helpful.. they treat you like friends/ family instead of just patients. I cannot wait to see my final results. For now my before pictures are being attached. I will updated when I'm further along post op. Updated on 29 Aug 2018: Feeling way better today than I was last night. Bruising pretty bad but pain is bearable.. uncomfortable more than painful. Took my Percocet and Valium this morning and only my ibuprofen since then, and seem to be getting by ok with just the ibuprofen now. Updated on 31 Aug 2018: Swelling and bruising is improving. I'm getting around pretty good now. Some slight stinging here and there but no pain meds needed. Continuing to take my antibiotics. Very happy with my results so far and anxious for the swelling and bruising to be completely gone. I know I've got a ways to go though ;) Updated on 4 Sep 2018: Making progress on the swelling. Slowly, but expected. Pain free other than a shooting stinging feeling every now and then. I'm guessing it's nerve pain. Hoping these next few weeks of recovery fly by. Updated on 2 Oct 2018: Been a while, thought I'd post an update. My swelling has gone down and I'm thrilled with my results so far. Bumps are starting to smooth out and look way better. I don't feel any internal stitches now. Still some darkness on the skin but I'm assuming that will go away with more time. Looking at before and afters now, I can't believe I didn't get this done sooner. Updated on 2 Nov 2018: I'm a little over 2 months post op now and feel great. I'm happy with my results and feel completely back to normal again. I've resumed intercourse with my husband and there's no issues now. The first couple times were a little tough, the skin felt too tight so we took it slow.. but after about the 3rd time everything has been great since, even better than before surgery. Updated on 5 Dec 2018: Still seeing some minor changes but feel like I'm pretty close to what my final look will be. Very happy with the results and cannot believe I went through so many years of shame. I should've had this surgery years ago. Updated on 21 Feb 2020: Not as happy with my results as I was my last update. It seems after the tissue completely relaxed that it has increasingly gotten larger again. And the appearance is more bumpy now and less smooth. It also seems like my tissue is kind of dog eared near my clitoris on the left side. I dont understand what caused it to change so much but overall I'm still happier than i was before surgery. Im just not completely satisfied like i was the last time. I still stand by Dr. Fernau and say him and his teams were great. More

Absolute Plastic Surgery Genius! - Dr. Fernau and his entire staff are amazing. After numerous virtual consultations, I scheduled to have my lipo abdominoplasty with Dr. Fernau. PLEASE, don’t choose a surgeon on affordability or discounts, alone. This is your ONE body and you get what you pay for. I’m currently 6 days post-op and am already in love with my new shape. Dr. Fernau is an artist, not just a surgeon. His meticulous attention to detail and undivided attention will guarantee you results that you could only dream of. I traveled to the Pittsburgh area from South Carolina for his services and would do so again in a heartbeat. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this surgical genius and his staff. More

Breast Augmentation - It was never in my cards to have breasts, so growing up I knew I wanted an augmentation. I was referred to Dr Fernau by a client. She had amazing results from a “mommy makeover” done years ago! My augmentation was almost 3 months ago and I am loving my results! I have so much more confidence and I love being able to wear the tops I’ve always wanted to wear. He and his staff were amazing through out the whole process! I would highly recommend! More

27 YO Labiaplasty - I had my labiaplasty procedure done today with Dr. Fernau. He's such a great doctor and sees to it that you're well taken care of and informed. His staff is very friendly and helpful.. they treat you like friends/ family instead of just patients. I cannot wait to see my final results. For now my before pictures are being attached. I will updated when I'm further along post op. More

27 YO Mom of 2 Labiaplasty - Dr. Fernau and his staff are excellent! He takes alot of time to go over the procedure with you and makes sure all of your questions are answered. He recently did my Labiaplasty procedure and I will hopefully be going back for a BBL in the future. I rate him and his team a 10 out of 10 for sure! More

Absolute Plastic Surgery Genius! - Dr. Fernau and his entire staff are amazing. After numerous virtual consultations, I scheduled to have my lipo abdominoplasty with Dr. Fernau. PLEASE, don’t choose a surgeon on affordability or discounts, alone. This is your ONE body and you get what you pay for. I’m currently 6 days post-op and am already in love with my new shape.

Turning 41 this year and being active my whole life I started to realize areas that were always lean began to have fat deposits. I began to look for a remedy. I found Doctor Fernau on an internet search of top plastic surgeons in Pittsburgh. After reading hundreds of positive reviews I decided to make an appointment. When I first walked in the office I was greeted by his staff. During my consultation I found Doctor Fernau to be really down to earth. He answered every question I had and made suggestions of what my options were. I decided to have abdominal etching, liposuction of my love handles, and some fat grafting using the Hydrosolv form of liposuction. The day of surgery I was visited by Dr. Fernau and went over each step of the operation. During this time I asked Dr. Fernau if some of the fat taken could be placed into my calves. With out hesitation Dr. Fernau made this happen. I'm currently 6 weeks post op and couldnt be more satisfied. He's a skilled surgeon, but most importantly he honestly makes you feel like you matter. Any one looking to have any type of cosmetic/reconstructive surgery Dr. Fernau should not only be first on your list, but the only one on your list. More

29 Year Old 5'2 115 Lbs - 7 days ago had a bbl done with dr fernau in Pittsburgh pa. Dr fernau has done my breast and my rhinoplasty so I fully trusted him with my bbl! Without having my much fat on my body we knew it was going to be a challange! On surgery date I weighed 120 and 600cc per cheek was the goal. He ended up doing 980cc and my results are amazing!

From the first consultation, Dr. Fernau and his staff were beyond welcoming and helpful. He made me feel like I was his only patient. He seemed genuinely excited about my procedure and getting me the results that I wanted. He's a perfectionist and won't settle for less than perfect results. He travels around the world attending conferences related to his trade. He has his finger on the pulse of the latest technologies. I lost about 100 pounds 2 years ago and my breasts were loose bags of skin and tissue. He performed a breast lift and augmentation using the PAM technique. Its only been a month, but I can't believe how good they look. The scarring is so minimal right now and they look like full, natural breasts. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Fernau or my experience. I plan to go to him again for an abdominoplasty next year. More

Best Decision I Made - Dr Fernau is amazing. He cares so much about his patients and is truly a perfectionist. I had surgery for a tummy tuck and was so pleased with the outcome, he definitely goes over and above. He really listens and answers your questions and cares about his patients and exceeding their expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. More

Incredible Surgeon! - My experience with Dr. Fernau and his staff was absolutely incredible. I had Pyloric Stenosis as an infant, which years later has resulted as deeply puckered scars throughout my abdomen. Dr. Fernau suggested hydrasolve liposuction and my results have been life-changing. The post-op recovery was quick and painless and there is no visible scarring as a result of this procedure. Dr. Fernau and his staff are incredibly helpful, honest, informative, and dedicated to providing their patients with a smooth and satisfactory experience. I cannot recommend him enough, he has absolutely changed my life! More

I now look like nature intended! - Pittsburgh, PA - I'm a 48 year-old woman in good shape - but I had saddlebags from hell. They looked like they didn't belong on my body and were a source of embarrassment. I could never get rid of them with diet and exercise, and even with clothes on it was noticeable. I chose Dr. Fernau because I'm a physician myself and I'm very aware that not everyone who practices plastic surgery is well-qualified. Dr. Fernau not only has academic appointments and is on several patient safety committees, but he has an extensive pre-operative protocol intended to minimize the risk of postoperative complications. I decided to put myself in Dr. Fernau's hands and I'm so glad I did! I had liposuction of inner and outer thighs and fat transfer into the buttocks. I tolerated the surgery and postoperative period well. My saddlebags are gone and I don't know how Dr. Fernau did it (I guess that is the "art" of plastic surgery), but it looks completely natural, not "done", no visible scars. It looks like nature intended and I look proportional. Every time I see my legs in the mirror I'm so glad I had the surgery and chose Dr. Ferneu and his team. More

48 Year Old Wanting to Look Good in Tops my Whole Life - I already gave a detailed review (see above). To summarize Dr Fernau is an excellent surgeon. Intelligent, kind, caring, thorough, extreme attention to detail, great beside manner, loved by his staff and patients in the waiting area. He is on top of all of the latest technology to give his patients the best results. And, other than breast augmentation his other work is superior. I saw first hand beautiful rhinoplasty results, facelift results and patients so happy with liposuction. More

22 Years Old, Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure - Best Experience Ever! - Pittsburgh, PA - I am 22 years old, and my husband and myself had been shopping for the right doctor to perform my Brazilian Butt Lift. We had been to every office in Pittsburgh, and saved Dr. Fernau's office last, because I was highly impressed with his previous work in Brazil. His consult was so outstanding, that we scheduled my surgery before leaving his office. The technology he used during his consult was the best I had seen, not to mention I could really tell that he was passionate about his work. He referred to what he did as "art" instead of surgery. The fact that the doctor himself was there to answer all my question really impressed me, since all of my other consult's were with an LPN or a doctor's consult manager. I was so nervous, and Dr. Fernau literally made me feel so confident by the time of my appointment date. He even gave me his personal cell phone number if I had any questions before or after! What surgeon do you know, does that? He told me at the consult he sees his patients as his children, and he was not lying! He was always there to answer any questions or give any suggestions, and even supplied a health routine (with vitamins, probiotics, and dietary suggestions) for me to follow prior and after surgery as to see that I will have top notch results and to help my body heal faster. During my research on Dr. Fernau I was impressed to see his work on patient safety, his advanced education, and the world wide recognition his name holds in the plastic surgery world. He is one of the only doctor's who has the advanced technology of the HydroSolve, that he used to take out the fat in my abdominal and hip rolls and place into my buttocks. The HydroSolve alone, if you are looking into this surgery, and you don't know about it; please do yourself the favor and do some research on how advanced this machine is and how lucky you'd be to have your surgery done using this machine. The HydroSolve machine combined with Dr. Fernau's excellent skills and extremely caring and professional staff; I am beyond happy with my experience and even happier with my results. I love how he sculpted my body! In fact my husband and I decieded to also commit to having my boob job, as well as laser hair removal done at Dr. Fernau's office as well. I truely feel like family when I come to his office, and each visit feels so comforting, yet professional. After consulting with each plastic surgeon in Pittsburgh, PA I am so happy that I found and stuck with Dr. Fernau. Hands down best experience ever. They made sure I was confident, happy, healthy, and most importantly safe from beginning to end of my BBL procedure. 10 out of 10 stars awesome! More

5’5, 210 Lbs., 50, BA, 565cc HP Sientra - Pittsburgh, PA - He really takes pride in his work. Very skilled, honest and realistic. - - In order to make it easier for those like me, I have tried to put all the key words in my title to make searching for a story on a plus-size, older woman’s experience easier to find. Before I start, I just want to say thank you to all the lovely and brave ladies that have shared your stories. I’ve been reading and reading and re-reading so many. I’m finally sitting down to share mine. My story is similar to others that I have read. I never had big breasts. Especially in my 20s, I was 110 lbs. with an A cup size i.e. no boobs. I was always trying to hide my chest with ruffles on bikini tops, padded bras, and loose tops. As I gained weight, I did gain some in my cup size but mostly in my band size. At my highest weight, 274, I was a 44d with my stomach sticking out further than my boobs. A problem I still have at 210, 42c.In 2014, I had gastric bypass surgery and lost 90 lbs. While I was reading the WLS forums the inkling of PS started stirring. Tummy tucks, BAs and BLs. I was down to 184, then started gaining weight over the last 4 or 5 months, up 40 lbs. When my clothes started getting tight I started stepping on the scale and was so mad at what I gained back, I then started journaling my food and exercising – something I never did faithfully. I lost 14 lbs. and STOPPED. I’ve been at the same weight for two months! I can’t take it. I don’t know if it’s a stall – long stalls are common in WLS patients – or if it’s something else. If it’s just a weight-loss stall then I don’t know what to do. Anyway, earlier this year I started thinking about BA and researched online and found two PS that seemed to be candidates for consultations. I then spoke with my husband who was totally surprised that this was something that I’d ever want. Of course, he’d love it, lol. I told him that if PS was more prevalent and I was more confident back when I was in my 20s, I would have had it done. He totally supports whatever I want to do and has always said he loves me like I am. He is the only one who knows that I’m going to do this. I have started what I call “double-bubbling it”. I wear a padded-increase-your-cup-size-by-2 bra with an underwire regular bra on top that is a cup size larger than what I am. It’s ridiculous, but what I need to do to start transitioning into my after-BA body without it being too noticeable. I was so nervous to make that call to set-up my first consultation. More

I couldn't be happier with my decision of choosing Dr. James Fernau for my abdominal/flanks liposuction.Even though I work out regularly (I was a fitness instructor for many years) and live a healthy lifestyle, I struggled with getting rid of fat around my midsection. I tried different non-surgical procedures that gave me no results. It wasn't until I met with Dr. James Fernau that I felt confident that I would finally get the results I'd been hoping for. Not only did he have the eye and extensive knowledge to recommend the best approach to achieve my goal; but he carefully took the time to listen to my needs which resulted in the natural look I was wishing for. I'm so happy with the results! With my newly sculpted return to my more feminine shape, I've regained the self-confidence that I had lost over time.Beside Dr. James Fernau's expertise, my main reason for choosing him to do my surgery was the feeling I got of a kind, genuine person that truly cares for making a difference in my life. More

My Awesome Breast Augmentation - Pittsburgh, PA - With Dr. Fernau, you instantly know that he is seeing the best “you” that you can possibly be 'as he’s talking with you'. He had great suggestions and ideas on what I could do to improve my look based on my personal priorities. I had asked his opinion as to what he felt he could help me improve upon. Glad I did! I hadn't known about fat transfers before him. He pulled out materials, books, diagrams, and explained everything in detail...and there was no rushing. Sheila, the RN, is so knowledgeable, thorough, PATIENT and kind.. (AND too beautiful, lol!). I was well cared for from start to finish! More

I am now nearly 4 weeks post op after a full abdominoplasty with Dr. James Fernau, and could not be happier with my experience. Dr. James Fernau is a highly skilled surgeon and, perhaps just as important, has an artist's eye for the aesthetic nuance that distinguishes a great abdominplasty from a good one. After interviewing several surgeons, I chose Dr. James Fernau because it was clear that he is meticulous in the extreme. (After he explained -- in intricate detail -- what makes for a natural-looking belly button, I was his.) His staff was lovely and helpful throughout the process, the office always impeccable. The on-site operating room and after-care suite made the whole experience more comfortable and low stress. And my overnight nurse in the after-care suite was truly amazing. My physical results are beyond my expectations. Seriously, the man knows from carving out a sexy stomach. For anyone considering abdominoplasty, I will add that I have had two c-sections, and this was by far more painful and required significantly more time to recover. I had done enough research going in that my expectations were realistic; however I have heard of many people being surprised by the intensity of the aftermath and recovery time. So, just something to keep in mind if you are considering it. I have not had a moment's regret and would certainly recommend Dr. James Fernau to anyone looking for an outstanding surgeon. More

The Entire Experience by Far Exceeded Well Beyond my Expectations - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. James Fernau and his entire staff are just simply amazing! 5 Stars is simply not enough.I met with Dr. James Fernau for a consultation to discuss a Breast Augmentation as well as a Tummy Tuck. The consultation lasted about 2 hours. I never felt rushed and left knowing exactly what was involved and what to expect.As a mother of three, having plastic surgery is scary as I thought what happens if... The day before the surgery the surgical nurse and the anesthesiologist called me to discuss the procedure. With being so scared; after each call I felt completely reassured that everything will go smoothly and the decision I was making was the right choice. The surgery went very well. Afterwards, I stayed overnight in the suite with the nurse. She was so very sweet and caring. I never had to ask for anything as she was always on top of everything. For two days following surgery; the Doctor, the surgical nurse, my overnight nurse and my anesthesiologist all called me to check up on me. I have had a previous procedure done by another plastic surgeon so I do have something to compare Dr. James Fernau to and I must say I have never experienced a Doctor and his entire staff that is so caring.Would I recommend Dr. James Fernau? Absolutely! The entire experience by far exceeded well beyond my expectations. More

About two years ago, I made some significant lifestyle changes for my health and well-being. One great benefit was that my body weight returned to normal as I lost over 30 pounds and became very fit. I have stayed committed to my new healthy lifestyle. However, even after I was back to looking and feeling good, I had an extremely difficult time getting rid of fat in certain stubborn areas. The fat stored in my lower abdomen, hips and lower back seemed like it was never going to go away. On a recommendation, I flew from way out west to have the ?Aqualipo? liposuction procedure performed by Dr. Fernau. I am extremely happy with the results and feel rejuvenated. The fat in those stubborn areas is completely gone. Dr. Fernau is very meticulous and a perfectionist. Sheila and the rest of his staff are very friendly. I felt confident and relaxed the entire time. Highly recommend. More

I had tumescent liposuction done on my abdomen and hips this past May by doctor Fernau. During my consultation Dr. Fernau answered any necessary questions that I had asked. The staff was very professional and made me feel comfortable on the day of the surgery. They treated me like royalty. I was the only appointment on the day of my surgery so they did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable. I would not recommend that anyone choose any other doctor but Dr. Fernau. My results were exactly what I was looking for and could not be more happy. Since the surgery I was given Dr. Fernau's personal cell phone number along with Sheila's in case I had any questions. I have been seen about 3 times since my surgery and have started getting my scars removed, which by the way are not very noticeable at all. More

I had a face lift, eye lid surgery and a neck lift. Several months later I had a fat transfer procedure in which fat was injected into my face to correct some deep wrinkles. I am extremely satisfied w ith the results. As a physician myself, I would only go to another doctor if I knew of his reputation and surgical skill. Dr, Fernau has an excellent reputation among other physicians and he is a highly skilled surgeon. I would recommend him to my friends, family members and patients. His staff was exceptionally nice and very responsive to my questions and needs. More

I went to Dr. Fernau for labiaplasty and a breast augmentation. I have always been self conscious about my appearance in those areas up until now. Dr. Fernau assured me that I was a great candidate for these procedures and would be well taken care of. His entire staff is extremely wonderful as well! I felt very comfortable calling the office, and especially Sheila at any given time with any questions and concerns.

Mama's Turn! - Pittsburgh, PA - Ready to have a partial tummy tuck with aqua lipo and fat grafting. I'm 40 years old with a 11 yr. old and also a 19 yr. old. Tired of my tummy having to be hidden - always. :( Don't want the perfect tummy... Just want the pouch to go far, far away. I'm nervous about the recovery period. I work a desk job full-time... Live in a 2-story house w/the bathroom only on the top floor. I've had gall bladder surgery this past May & that was a couple weeks to recover - so REALLY scared about this surgery. More

I searched the Pittsburgh area looking for a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck. The two doctors that I interviewed did not leave me confident that they would do a good job. Then I found Dr. Fernau on line. His receptionist was very friendly and got me an appointment right away. On the initial visit Dr. Fernau answered all of my questions and showed me pictures of his of his work which looked great. I am now post op 3 months and I am a little sore. I had a wound that needed repaired after the tummy tuck and Dr. Fernau took care of it right away. I would recommend him to family and friends because he is a doctor who is very experienced and you leave with great results. And he and his staff were very professional More

My breasts are perfect!!! I went from an A to a full C and they really are perfect. Dr. Fernau is so nice and he is such a perfectionist. I have seen 4 of my girlfriends and they all turned out like mine. I have recommended him to friends and family. I am ging to him for the new Aqualipo liposuction in the spring. I see why he was voted a Top Plastic Surgeon in America for 7 years! Love him ! More

I am a teenage patient Dr. Fernau had for a Labiaplasty. Now, before this surgery, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't wear shorts, bathing suits, or even thongs. When I got my period, the labia would crack open and bleed, it would swell, and I would get infections; especially vaginal infections due to the blockage. I couldn't use tampons. I couldn't cross my legs. Sitting in class for 42 minutes didn't really help at all either, I had to slouch or sit on my tailbone. Simple activities like running was beyond uncomfortable. Laying down was uncomfortable. I swallowed Motrin like crazy. I didn't have a normal teenage life like I was supposed to. After I got the surgery, my life has changed for the better. I can wear whatever I want without wanting to hide. I am pain and infection free thanks to his compassion and his skills. I am very satisfied with the results. So, thank you Dr. Fernau, for giving me my quality of life back. -CC More

Dr. Fernau gave me a tummy tuck about 10 weeks ago, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! He is extremely knowledgeable and very capable of applying the newest techniques, of which I have greatly benefited. Dr. Fernau chose to use a new Brazilian technique which has kept my scar several inches shorter than the usual hip to hip incision that I was dreading. I am amazed at how my scar is fading, thanks to his laser treatment, and can't wait to get show off my flat tummy this summer. The staff at the office are also extremely competent and professional. They are very friendly and patient, and have encouraged my questions even when I have had to contact them after hours. I have actually enjoyed coming into the office because they really seem to enjoy helping people. It's a fabulous environment. Dr. Fernau has also been very professional in his demeanor, and always prompt. I look forward to my future breast augmentation, which he has offered at substantial discount! More
