Reviews for Eyelid Surgery Procedures in Pittsburgh, PA

First I’ll start by saying the staff at Dr.Fernau’s office were so nice! I am very pleased with the results that I have received so far. I’ve wanted the bags under my eyes removed since I was young since it is hereditary and Dr.Fernau did just that!!! Thank you so very much! More

19 y/o Septo-rhinoplasty - Ever since I can remember, I've never been able to breathe through my nose. Eventually I found out that I had a deviated septum and figured now while I'm young (19, f), now would be a good time to get a septoplasty and also fix a bump that I've always been self conscious of on my bridge. The second Dr.Fernau saw my nose he could tell me that my nose had been broken at one point in my life, mind you that I've been to numerous ENT specialists and other plastic surgeons that never mentioned that. He assured me that after the septo-rhinoplasty that I'd be able to breathe completely after the surgery and I scheduled the surgery a few days later. The office staff was always accommodating to my needs and questions as the surgery got closer (helping me plan my appointments well in advance around my weird work schedule, squeezing me in when needed) and were always friendly. Dr.Fernau made me feel so comfortable and prepared before the surgery with all of the pre-operative measures he takes with a vitamin regime, ointments and soaps using for the last three days before surgery. You always knew that he knew what he was doing and was doing it for your best interest. The day of surgery I was so nervous! He came back before surgery and met my family and assured them (and me again) that I'd be ecstatic with the outcome. 5 hours later I woke up and my boyfriend told me that he said my nose fracture was so bad that a piece of bone actually chipped away. He said before surgery he couldn't get a syringe up my one nostril and after he could fit his fingers up there so I will now be able to breathe. My surgery was July 20th so my first post-op appointment was four days later to get my internal splints out. I went into the appointment feeling weak, tired and not like myself. With black eyes and a swollen face, how can anyone feel good? As soon as he came in he could sense that and in a matter of minutes he had me laughing. He has a wonderful bedside manner. I'm not gonna candy coat it, the splint removal was HORRIBLE. I thought my brain was gonna come out with them. More

Excellent is not enough For Dr James, he deserves more. One and a half year ago I have had Lower lid surgery Blepharoplasty, under a surgeon who rewind my lower lids by taking extra skin, the eyelid is turned outward away from the eyeball. I suffered doing 3 unsuccessful correction surgeries before I get to know Dr James. When I decided to go for the 4th surgery through Dr Fernau I did not have the hope that he will be able to give me the normal look I dream of. My conclusion after the procedure he made to me, I can not describe the happiness I am in whenever I look at the mirror. This is enough to say He is marvelous . Thanks God that made me come through his website when I was searching for a relief . More

Dr. Fernau, I wanted to take the time to thank you for everything! My last doctor did not resolve my issues with the deep grooves in my forehead & between my eyes. I thought it wasn't possible. You worked your "magic"! I am most surprised by the "liquid rhinoplasty". I had no idea that my hump in my nose could be fixed so easily. It has "Softened" the whole look of my face. A few injections and ten minutes later and I walked out the door with a new nose! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! More

I can't thank Dr. Fernau enough for my beautiful nose. He stepped up to the plate of fixing my collapsing nose due to two previous botched surgeries when no other doctor would. When I look in the mirror now tears come to my eyes because of how perfect my nose looks. I've always since a young girl hated my nose and now I'm in love with it... I would recommend him to anyone, and the fact I'm breathing out of both sides of my nose as I'm writing this makes me love it even more. More

I work in the cosmetics industry and have had Botox treatments for over 20 years (initially for headaches). Later, as I become hum, "more mature", I noticed Botox helped me in other ways. Although I adore the physicians I have reviewed for Botox thus far, I wanted a different, objective perspective by a physician that specializes in Botox and fillers. I am very glad I did. I have wanted a "lift" for my deep set eyes as well as symmetry and Dr. James Fernau achieved it! I am so happy! Not only this, he took pictures we reviewed together and Dr. James Fernau thoroughly studied my features as an artist does a canvas and discussed my options. Although I have used Botox for such a long time, he still explained every motion and use of my facial muscle and how the injections will help me achieve the results I was hoping for. Now, seven days later, I love my results! My small parting gift was a nice touch. Thanks Doc! More

The staff was very friendly and willing to take the time to answer all my newbie questions. Dr Fernau is awesome. What else can I say? He made me feel totally at ease and listened to my concerns. I had Restylane filler to conceal the tired looking bags under my eyes and it looks so natural that people ask what I've been doing different. No one suspects plastic surgery. More

I wanted a very subtle & natural looking change & he gave me exactly what I was looking for! I work in a very gossipy office and women are accused of having work done all the time...I had Restylane injected for tired looking eyes and the results were dramatic yet very natural. Quite a few people complimented me on my makeup & said my eyes looked very nice! lol More

After having two children and recently losing 25 pounds, my breasts were unsatisfying to me. The body I worked so hard for wasn’t perfect in my eyes. There had to be something I could do, and of course there was. My husband and I went on several consultations to well qualified surgeons and found that Dr. Fernau was perfect for the job. He and his staff are professional and well educated. He uses the latest techniques and methods. I was very impressed. He explained the procedure thoroughly, answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I showed concern about the pain. He assured me I would be taken care of. I felt very prepared having all my medications before my surgery. I felt confident in Dr. Fernau and was excited about the surgery. My recovery was fast and easy. I am very very happy with the results. They are exactly what I wanted. I know have the confidence and the breasts to go with my body. I would go to Dr. Fernau for all my esthetic needs. He is a very competent surgeon. I have already referred him to friends and family. More

Nine months ago Dr Fernau performed a facelift and a forehead left and a neck left and eyelid surgery and my results are amazing. My friends tell me I look 15 years younger. He also performed laser resurfacing of my scars free of charge and you cannot see any scars on my face lift incisions. I am extremely impressed by his nurses and staff as they have treated me so well and answered all of my questions. Dr Fernau keeps up with the latest technology and I am going to have a NeoGraft no incision hair transplant performed by him and his staff. Also he has his own aesthetician and I have gone to her for many micro dermabrasion's and she has placed me on a skin care regimen which I really like. More

Amazing doctor and excellent staff. Dr. Fernau was very personable and kind. The staff was really incredible especially the nurse named Sheila. The surgery was flawless and my eyes turned out perfect with no scarring. I am extremely pleased with his work. He is an artist and very professional. More

So Grateful!!! - Robinson, PA - Dr. Fernau is an amazing doctor and person. He is the best I've been to by far. His work is beautiful and he strives for perfection. He corrected a mistake that another physician made with filler in my tear trough area that I went around with for 2 years and no one else seemed to be able to fix. It was uneven, and I had bags there and a blue tinted discoloration. Dr. Fernau spent so much time with me and offered me different treatments to do everything he could to make me look my best. He used the most current products and techniques I have not seen anyone else use or even mention. He added filler to surrounding areas and he treated the Edema and the discoloration both FREE of charge! He also has continued to do the laser treatment around my eyes for FREE! Who else would do that!? He and his staff are so kind and wonderful like a family. Everyone there from the receptionist to the billing person was wonderful. Between the treatment I received from them and the immediate results that I got that day, I started to cry! I was and am so grateful!!!! Thank you so much again!!!! More

I love dr. Ferneu ! He is a gifted , and kind Dr. I would always go back to him for any procedure. He is always honest , and that means so much. I had my eyes done , i had bags under my eyes. They had got much worse because of a very stressful time in my life. Not only did he take the time to listen , i couldn't have hoped for a better result. The staff is always so kind and helpful. Mary was so helpful with getting things squared away. Sheila was always so calming to have around , always makes me feel better . Sherry is stands out in that way to for me . Just so helpful. Cindy has done Micro dermabrasion and just improved my skin so much. Thank you so much ! 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

My experience with Dr. Fernau and his staff could not have been better. As a physician, I have heard good things about Dr. Fernau and I would not have had him operate upon me if I did not have the utmost respect for his skills and talent. I had a facelift, neck lift and both eyes done at one time. It was done in his office under sedation which saved me money. I was given adequate post-operative pain medications. In less than 3 weeks, all the discoloration and most of the swelling is gone. I am entirely pleased with the results which should get even better as the residual swelling resolves. The only "sensation" I still have is a feeling of tighness around my face and some numb areas of skin, both of which he told me I would have for several months. Dr. Fernau is a good guy and an even better surgeon and his staff is equally professional. I would highly recommend him to both my family members and patients. More
