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

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 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

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

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. They provided me their cell numbers to call if I needed to and always checked up on me after the surgery. I had liposuction, a BBL and skin tightening, my results are AMAZING! His worked cannot be matched. He transforms your body into exactly what you want and more, I am in awe of my results. He is such a perfectionist that you come out looking better than you could even imagine. I would highly recommend him you will not be disappointed. Best DOCTOR in the Steel City! 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

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.

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

About one year ago I came back for liposuction of my chest, abs and love handles and again another great result. Dr Fernau used hydrasolve lipo and he said it leaves things smooth and that is true. I went from a 38 to a 32. I feel great. His staff also recommend practical life eating and a more "natural" approach. I cut out out diet pop and what a difference.

Awesome surgeon! Has a very caring bedside manner. He is very meticulous about his work. I've had several procedures and trust his skills as a surgeon. Staff is caring too! At least call for a consultation and he will answer any questions you have thoroughly without judgment. I was scared to go show some stranger my body issues but he made me feel that's its normal for people to want to improve themselves. He is very professional and loves what he does. From eyelift, rhinoplasty, dermabrasion, buttlift to liposuction, I've loved all my results! More

Dr Fernau performed a beautiful and satisfying breast augmentation using Sientra gummy bear implants 350 mL and simultaneous he performed smart liposuction of my abdomen and hip rolls and outer and inner thigh's and knees With absolutely fantastic and perfect results! He always complements his staff and I can see why because they are so wonderful and he is unbelievably kind and compassionate. And more than that he is a genius at his work ! I know that he has one so many Top Dr. Awards and writes papers worldwide and studies worldwide and I really appreciate that in a doctor. Best of all he is so down-to-earth and wonderful! 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.

Breast Augmentation, Brazilian Butt Lift - Accent on Body Cosmetic Surgery - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr Fernau is superb. My consult was over one hour. He explained everything in detail. How the breasts and buttock shape work together. He was so right. I am happy I listened to him. He is very smart and kind. My surgery and recovery was relatively painless; a little pressure thats all. My aftercare has been great with laser treatments over my scars at no charge: I cant see them! More

I have been to Dr. Fernau over the last couple of years for a variety of procedures in which I have been tremendously happy with the results;the benefits from undergoing anything from botox or liposuction has been immediate.

Dr Fernau performed a BBL or Brazilian Butt Lift and body contour liposuction including a breast lift as part of a mommy makeover. Outstanding results. Perfect to me. It has been one year and my buttocks have retained almost all of their volume far beyond my expectations. My breasts are symmetric and he fat grafted them to increase size which is perfect. He used SAFELipo on my body and all of my contours are smooth. I could not be happier. His staff gave me their phone numbers including Dr Fernau and I felt comfortable from the first consult to my last visit. I rate him 100 out of 10 ! More

Dr Fernau is all about excellence and genuinely the nicest doctor I have ever met! He is so knowledgeable, kind ,caring and approachable. He and his staff are the finest. From my first phone call to my very last visit I was treated with so much genuine kindness and everyone was helpful. I was never rushed. He spent over one hour with me during my first consult. Other doctors topped out at 20 minutes. I got to review his photo gallery from facelifts to liposuction and his results are incredible . I had surgery for gynecomastia and my results are perfect. I can take my shirt off at the beach . I was impressed at his genuine passion for his work and he took a lot of time encouraging an organic lifestyle of nutrition and exercise. He really wants me to retain my result. In short, he is the greatest doctor I have ever met! 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
