Wonderful experience with Dr. Fernau and his team, Sheila, Ryan, Alexa and Sherry. They all made me feel comfortable throughout my breast augmentation process, answered all my questions and gave me their best advice on picking the perfect implant and size. I got 350cc sientra gummy bear implants with a subfascial approach and I couldn’t be happier with my results. Clinic was very clean, friendly and professional. Special shout out to nurse Alexa who made me feel relax and safe right before going into surgery. Thank you! You all were amazing! More

I looked up so many Plastic Surgeons and Dr. Fernau was the one I had chosen. I found him on Instagram. Check out his work!!!! It’s amazing what he does! I got breast augmentation and a umbilicoplasty done. Let’s say I was so nervous talking about what breast size I wanted and trying different ones but Sherry and Amber you girls are down to earth, which made me feel very comfortable. You girls helped me what size I was looking for. I’m very thankful!!!!! Dr. Fernau, Sherry, Alexa, and David, I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery. Your knowledge & skills gave me a very natural fullness look just like I requested. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful care you have given me. Thank you Dr. Fernau, Sherry, Amber, Cindy, Shelia, Alexa, and David. No one could ask for a better health-care team, you have been absolutely amazing! More

I am so pleased that I chose to get my breast augmentation done at Dr. Fernau’s office. I have to say my results are a 10/10. From my first consultation to the follow-up appointments the staff including Sheila and Sherry made me feel 100% comfortable and answered any questions I had along the way. Dr. Fernau and his staff have earned my recommendation to any patient looking for cosmetic surgery. Thank you Dr. Fernau! More

Recently, I had a breast augmentation. At the first appointment and leading up to surgery I was very nervous and had many questions. The staff quickly reassured me though and answered my many questions. This eased a lot of my anxiety and I was very excited for the surgery day. After surgery I was swollen but I trusted the recovery process and I couldnt be happier with my results, I got exactly what I asked for and Im feeling more confident than ever with my body. More

I had a differential breast augmentation with subfascial placement using Sientra smooth round silicone implants and it turned out perfect. Dr. Fernau is very skilled and knowledgeable and Nurse Sheila is incredibly kind and patient. I also really appreciated that they include 3 laser scar removal appointments for the incision scars. Thank you! More

Dr Fernau, Sheila, and the entire staff did a beautiful job on my surgery. My recovery time was short and in two weeks the implants felt like I was born with them. I told him what I expected and they exceeded those expectations. They took into consideration my very active lifestyle, and were honest about how big I could go while still looking natural, which was my end goal. My girlfriends loved the work so much a few have set up consultations for other surgeries Dr Fernau offers, and one has set up a consultation for corrective work on her breast implants. I plan on going back in the future for a few more enhancements. After seeing his rhinoplasty portfolio I know this is where I’ll go to have the damage my nose sustained in a car accident to be corrected. Definitely worth every penny. More

I had a breast augmentation with sub-fascial placement on 4/1/2021, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my results! My recovery time was quick and I was able to manage my recovery with over the counter pain medication only and was back to work in one week! Dr. Fernau and his staff are very knowledgeable, and were very responsive to any questions I had through out the process! I couldn’t ask for a better experience or better results! I highly recommend Dr. Fernau! More

After researching plastic surgeons for a breast augmentation for a few years I finally felt confident enough to get the procedure done with Dr.Fernau. I was worried that I would have a long recovery and not be able to do my physical job as a massage therapist but I was back to work less than a week later! I’m amazed at how my incisions healed so fast and just had my first laser session for the scar removal that is included with surgery. The doctor and nurses, especially Shelia and Amber, answer all my questions and talk to me about any service they offer. From breast augmentation to mole removal, Accent on Body will now be my only choice. More

I was very nervous about having any type of surgery let alone plastic surgery (breast reduction). I researched many doctors and had 3 consults. I am so very pleased with my results and with the entire process. Dr. Fernau was amazing. He explained everything and took the time to answer my questions. He has an eye for detail and strives for perfection. Highly, highly recommend. I felt safe and secure with him as my surgeon. Follow up was so easy and timely. Overall the procedure had very little pain or down time. The results are amazing. Wish I would have done it years ago. Would do it again. And would go with Dr. Fernau a thousand times over. More

I had a PAM (peri-areolar mastopexy) with 375 cc silicone implants. (I had my areola reduced, breast implants, and a breast lift.) I am 6 weeks post-op. Dr. Fernau and his staff made me feel very relaxed when I had my pre-op consults and at my post-op check-ups. I love the results so far and I am so happy I chose Dr. Fernau. More

I’m one month post op and I’m absolutely thrilled with my results. I had a mastopexy with implants and an areola reduction. I was very well informed before making the final decision for this surgery. The staff is AMAZING and friendly and Dr. Fernau is truly an artist. He’s caring, intelligent, very nice, patient and has genuine concern for his patients. I will definitely recommend him to others. I can’t wait to see how well my breasts look in the upcoming months as they fully heal. I have no doubt that I’ll be 110% satisfied. More
