Reviews for Pittsburgh, PA Plastic Surgeon Dr. James Fernau Injectables Procedures

I had decided for my birthday that I was going to gift myself some Botox! After doing as millennials do (i.e. going to Google and Reddit to research and find recommendations), I chose Dr. Fernau's office. I was not looking for the cheapest or closest option -- I wanted the best. I liked the idea of a facial plastic surgeon taking care of my Botox -- I didn't think I would be pressured to do more than I was comfortable, and I wanted natural results. From inquiry to scheduling to the actual appointment, everything was easy and the staff is so kind! Sheila performed my procedure, and she walked me through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. I'm only two days post-procedure, and I can already tell a difference -- it's very subtle, I feel like I still completely look like me, but refreshed. 10/10 recommend a birthday gift to yourself of Botox, and 10/10 recommend seeing Sheila, Dr. Fernau, and team! I will definitely be returning! More

Dr. Fernau and his team achieve incredible results, while epitomizing the highest standard of patient care. I had a liquid rhinoplasty done here and my expectations were exceeded to such an extent, that I am nothing short of astonished by the result he and his team created. Dr. Fernau is an artist who will not settle for anything less than the best for his patients. A wonderful person in addition to a skilled doctor, his genuine nature shined through every interaction we had. The contours and shaping he created as a result of my procedure were perfect from every angle, and on top of it, I impressively experienced no noticeable bruising or swelling afterwards thanks to his adept technique and methods. Having had this same procedure done years ago elsewhere (thus having ability to compare doctors), I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Fernau for anyone looking to have a procedure of this nature done. Alongside of Dr. Fernau is a consummate team of professionals who exhibit the same high level of skill and care that he demonstrates. Sherry, Cindy, and Amber are all incredibly approachable, easy to talk to, and ask questions of. They go above and beyond to make your experience and procedure/visit smooth and comfortable, all while concurrently running an efficient operation. I admire their teamwork, knowledge, and efficiency. What sets this office apart are a) the level of artistry and expertise you receive and b) the genuine human touch that comes with it. You are not a number here; you are a patient who the entire team demonstrates true care and compassion for from intake to your final result. You will be glad you chose them. I will undoubtably be coming back for other needs in the future. 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

Sheila does excellent on Botox! Dr. Fernau did a wonderful job on my lip injections! More

I have been coming to Dr Fernau for years for injectables. I have had such a positive experience, as well as really wonderful results! The staff are very friendly and will put you at ease (Shelia, Cynthia, Alana come to mind, but all have been great). I'm soon to be 53 and genetics were not on my side! I've been able to stay confident in my appearance, and (thus far) avoid more invasive procedures. What I appreciate about Dr Fernau in particular is an honest evaluation, followed by a solution. This practice is decidedly results oriented. More

I got lip injections a couple months ago and absolutely love the way my lips look now! Dr Fernau and his staff go above and beyond to meet your needs and make you feel as comfortable as possible! I’m so happy with my results that I’ve already booked my next appointment. More

I have to start by saying "Thank you Dr. Fernau for an amazing result I have with my most recent visit to get filler!" On multiple occasions and especially for my special occasions I have gotten lip and facial fillers and Botox. His attention to detail is amazing! Also the patience he has and the time he takes with me is commendable. He is always willing to go above and beyond to get me a beautiful result. He will do a touch up after a couple weeks if I had a stubborn brow that needed a bit more Botox. He is very knowledgable and always professional and caring. He takes the time to answer and explain all my questions. I always feel comfortable and at ease knowing I am in his care. His staff are wonderful too! They are always so pleasant and caring! I can't say enough about Dr. Fernau and his staff. He is excellent! More

Thank you fellow reviewers!!! You are so right!!!! Based on your reviews, I chose Dr. Fernau for my injectable adventure. I was terrified because years ago I had a bad experience but from the initial contact with Josh I knew this was the right choice. Have you ever had fun making an appointment? Well Josh is super! His easy going manner, super personality and patience answering questions was beyond what would normally be expected. Upon arrival at the office, he made you feel welcomed like a friend, rather than one of many consumers. And that feeling continued as Amber, Dr. Fernau's Medical Assistant ushered me back to the office where she too exhibited patience and caring with all my questions and concerns. She also is a joy! When I met Dr. Fernau, he was thorough, patient, confident, caring and made my fears disappear. He answered all my questions without fatigue and I felt instantly comfortable. I can't explain the confidence I had in him after I met with him, and as it turned out, that confidence was well deserved. What I love about Dr. Fernau is that my injection outcome seemed as important to him as a major plastic surgery event. I am very pleased with the results and appreciate the time Dr.Fernau gave me over a few weeks to make sure everything turned out perfect! During the course of those visits I met with Sheila, who also is proficient in injectables. She is so pleasant and was also very concerned with a good outcome. I also met Cindy the Aesthetician, who was so gracious, speaking with me regarding other possible procedures down the line. Really, I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you Dr. Fernau for your excellence and your total office experience. I will be back. See you soon! More

I was very pleased with the results of my filler treatment by Dr. Fernau. He is truly a perfectionist when it comes to fillers and botox treatments. Dr. Fernau has a very warm, welcoming personality.

I had lip fillers and couldn't be more satisfied. Amber, Sheila and Dr. Fernau made me feel very comfortable. They always strive to meet and deliver your wants. I wouldn't trust anyone else in Pittsburgh and highly recommend the whole team. More

I have been to Dr.Fernau's office for Juvederm injections in my lips on three separate occasions and both he and his staff have been fabulous every single time. I came to get juvederm fearfully after a bad experience at a local and very popular medical spa that left me with botched looking lips that had to be fixed and dissolved. I wish I would have found Accent on Body before then! Dr.Fernau and his staff injected my lips in a truly artful and careful manner! They are excellent at what they do, and have a friendly bedside manner that makes you feel comfortable. I now have the perfect pout and I love my lips! More

Voluma - Pittsburgh, PA - I had an opportunity to receive a party price for a mini face life using Voluma. Dr. Fernau and his certified nurse Sheila (certified in facial fillers) injected Voluma in my cheek region that instantly gave me cheekbones and lifted my lower jowl area reducing some fine wrinkles in my lower face. I cannot wait to get additional injections that will complete my "liquid face lift" I think I actually got extra just because Dr. Fernau wanted me to look better and WOW it was instantly noticeable by my friend who I met afterwards. As an added bonus, one of the staff members gave me a makeup touch up with a really neat line of cosmetics, Younique , that added to my fabulous look. It was safe to apply because it is mineral based and won't introduce parabans into the skin. Loved the whole experience. More

Brow Wrinkles - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. Fernau injected Bellafill into my brow line wrinkles with incredible results. He also used botox to make sure the Bellafill stayed in place. He was so gentle and kind and made me feel so comfortable. The results were immediate and amazing. There was no pain. He is the besy! His office staff is also so sweet and and kind and efficient.

I called for an appointment and his office staff was super nice!

I have suffered from migraine headaches since I was a child. I have tried multiple medications and have seen many doctors. I haven't found any methods of relief until now. Dr Fernau treated my headaches with Botox to see if I would get any relief from my horrible headaches. The first treatment I had about 25% relief , second treatment 50%, and I just had my third treatment 2 months ago and have had zero headaches! I can't thank him and his staff enough!!! This has truly changed my life! More

I will go back over and over again for filler as well as other procedures in the future ! He really took his time with me and made me feel at ease !! More

Where do I start...Dr. James Fernau is wonderful!! He is my life saver. My mom has been seeing Dr. James Fernau for well over 10 years and couldn't recommend him more. I have been going to see doc for about 10 years also because I suffer from hyperhydrosis (sweating in the underarms) and he has changed my life! I get Botox, yes Botox, in my underarms to prevent sweating. It works magnificently! I go in about every 6 months and he treats me like a family member or one of his favorite homies. I adore Dr. James Fernau and his professionalism when it comes to his recommendations of what to do for me. He cares and listens. His prices couldn't be more fair. As far as "over-priced" I don't feel that way at all. 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 have been to a lot of doctors offices over the years and the staff is what separates this office from all of the others. They rearrange their schedule to meet your needs and address any concern you may have as if they were their own! They have earned a life long relationship and friendship with me! 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

Excellent rhinoplasty surgeon and injectable Botox and filler expert 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. He is not only professional to work with but also very insightful on what/how a change needs to be done for you to look your best. More
