My scar is BARELY noticeable now! - 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

Perfect rhinoplasty - results were more than expected - Dr. Fernau’s work is absolutely amazing. My rhinoplasty results were more than I ever expected. The entire staff at the office is kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. They helped me understand all the questions that I had and treated me great. The complete procedure process was top notch from start to finish and I’m so glad I went through with the procedure. If you’re looking for amazing results, he’s your guy! I can’t thank everyone at the office enough for how much they did for me and helped me with. More

Dr. Fernau and Nurse Sheila Are Amazing at What They Do - After researching plastic surgeons for 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

Dr. Fernau was amazing - I was very nervous about having any type of surgery let alone plastic surgery. I researched several 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. More

I went from a 32 b to a 32 d - It's been almost a year since I had my breast augmentation with Dr. Fernau and I love them! I went from a 32 b to a 32 d with 350cc silicone high profile gummy bear implants under the muscle. Awesome perk is laser scar removal is included in the surgery package! This was definitely a life changing decision and I'm glad I picked an experienced, safety oriented surgeon. More

My nose without any bad angles - I have always had breathing problems. It wasn't something only I noticed - even school classmates commented. When I turned 30, I figured I still hopefully have 60 years of breathing left to do, so it is time to do something about it. I interviewed every doc in town and landed on Dr. Fernau because:1) He is double boarded as both an ENT and as a plastic surgeon 2) His before/afters appealed to my aesthetic the most3) He said during the consultation that his daughter had the same bumps on the side of her nose and I thought maybe he'll see a bit of his daughter on the table that day.In the end >2 years later, I am incredibly happy with my results both from a cosmetic and functional aspect. I can breathe now. I sleep with my mouth closed and my constantly bleeding/chapped lips are better. Getting sick is a breeze because I can actually blow the mucous out of my nose instead of every cold turning into a raging sinus infection. I am very happy with the appearance- it is still "my nose" but I just don't have any bad angles anymore. Throughout the entire experience with Dr. Fernau, I was treated with respect, kind consideration, and was never rushed out of just one more question with every member of his team. Two years ago the office scheduling practices were a mess, but I knew when I got back there, I would be the #1 priority so it was worthwhile. Billed to insurance was over $45k, but my total cost was about $15.7k once you paid all the bills, medications, etc. I would recommend Dr. Fernau to anyone considering a septo/rhinoplasty. More

Subglandular Sientra 355 cc smooth round mod+ gummy bear implants with GalaFORM mesh dissolvable scaffolding - 5 days until my surgery! My first consultation was in December of 2018 and we decided on subglandular gummy bear implants in order to achieve optimum lift. The implants won't be seen because I had a good "pinch test" and since they're gummy bear, there won't be any implant "rippling.' The exact size and profile is TBD because he will be using sizers on me during my surgery. Thinking somewhere between 350-415 ccs and moderate to moderate plus profile. More

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!

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

Hands down the BEST - 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

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

Some More on Top - It was immediately evident that Dr. Fernau is a doctor who cares deeply about his work and his patients, and his commitment to staying abreast of the latest developments in his field was obvious. Most of my time was spent with Sherry and Bonnie, a mother / daughter team of technician / nurse who both were unbelievably invested in and committed to the success of my procedure, as well as my comfort and satisfaction. Perhaps the most accurate and succinct way to describe them is to say that they sincerely care about their patients. You can trust these folks. 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

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

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

48 Year Old Wanting to Look Good in Tops my Whole Life - Dr Fernau and his staff were so wonderful. I had 3 prior consults and they couldn't compare to my consult with Dr Fernau. He is very intelligent and stresses patient safety and I felt immediately comfortable with the entire processs. They have state of the art 3 dimensional imaging to help choose the size and style of the implant. My consult was over an hour and I never felt rushed. I chose a 355 Sientra gummy bear implants and my results are perfect. I never took a pain pill after surgery. I was out of my garment in one week. No external sutures. They laser (free of charge) a 3 cm scar to make it disappear. The scars are in my natural breast crease and as I understand it Dr Fernau uses a Keller funnel to keep the scars so small. I have had 2 laser treatments and i cannot see the scars. Dr Fernau is a great surgeon because of his attention to detail. And he truley cares! More

53 Years Old Physician, Revision Rhinoplasty After First Procedure at Age 16 Due to Birth Defect - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. Fernau and his staff are wonderful. I picked this Doctor because he was double boarded in ENT and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery AND because he was only provider in the area who is member of Rhinoplasty Assn. He travels the world to learn and share his expertise in the procedure of rhinoplasty. He is highly qualified to do revision rhinoplasty which I waited almost 40 years to get done because I was waiting for the technology and the right surgeon! Obviously I did it and I am pleased! Is it your first rhinoplasty procedure? if you get it right the first time by choosing Dr. Fernau, you won't have to worry about revision! I recommend Dr. Fernau highly and without reservation. More

I traveled from out of country for my procedure and Dr. Fernau and his team were there from the beginning right to the end. They helped with my transportation to and from the hospital and follow-up appointments. Throughout the process of planning they were quick to respond to emails, etc...nothing negative I can say.

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

AMAZING Doctor, Great Results for SeptoRhinoplasty - I am 24 years old and I have always had difficulty breathing due to a trauma that occurred when I was a child. Not only did I have trouble breathing, I was very self-conscious because of the appearance of my nose due to the trauma. I began researching for doctors and came across Dr. Fernau in Pittsburgh, PA. I decided to book a consultation with him because of all the excellent reviews I read and his continued education. During my consultation Dr. Fernau was very personable, intelligent and took his time explaining to me my condition and his plan to correct my deviated septum and to improve the appearance of my nose. He made me feel very much at ease and after the consultation, I knew right away he was the one I wanted to do my septorhinoplasty. Only a few days later I booked my surgery. Sheila and Sharon helped me get the exact date I wanted even though his schedule was very busy. (Because he is AWESOME.) After my surgery Dr. Fernau gave me his personal cell phone number to contact him if needed. During my recovery I texted him and he responded immediately with compassion and the information I needed. After week one I was able to get my internal splints out and I could breathe better than I ever had in my life, and I was brought to tears. After two weeks I was allowed to remove my nasal cast and the appearance of my nose was AMAZING. My nose was very natural looking and fit perfectly with my face. I am currently 3 weeks postop and I can confidently say that my choice to have this surgery was life changing. If you want a surgeon who will do amazing work and who makes you feel like family, Dr. Fernau is your guy. I cannot brag enough about him and his staff. They are all so knowledgeable, helpful and warm. More

I can swim with confidence and am now on my third job promotion. Life changing experience for sure. I also use their hair products and get PRP injections. Use the laser cap , as well. 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. His staff are smart and sweet and always available for questions. Highest rating for Dr Fernau and his staff. 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

Cindy took extra time explaining the science behind the procedure and recommended a skin care regime that has left my skin soooooo amazing . I have scheduled another needling but continue to use the skin care and my skin has never looked so healthy. I cannot recommend Cindy enough and the results of a series of the needling. It is great for older skin like mine to help turnover but I have seen other younger patients with acne have equally unbelievable results. 10 star rating More

20 Year Old, Athletic, No Kids, Breast Augmentation - Pittsburgh, PA - I am currently 5 weeks post OP from receiving a breast augmentation from Dr. James Fernau and loving my results! He did an amazing job finding the right implants for my body and I felt extremely comfortable in his care. His staff is amazing and there is such a welcoming atmosphere in his office. The procedure went smoothly and I had very little downtime compared to some other reviews I have read. I highly recommend Dr. Fernau and his awesome staff! More

Late Forty's with Forehead Wrinkles - Pittsburgh, PA - I am in my late forty's and noticed prominent wrinkles lines in my forehead area. I have been using creams and serums but nothing is working. A family member referred me to see Dr. Fernau. I was hesitant at first because I was nervous about having work done on my face but the more I looked at myself I called and made an appointment. From the beginning his office staff was super nice and worked with me around my schedule. From the moment I met Dr. Fernau I knew I was in good hands. He was very pleasant and answered all my questions and explained the different fillers available and what he felt was best to use for me. He was able to perform the procedure while I was there at the office without me having to reschedule. He and his wonderful staff staff made me feel very comfortable. I had a few pinches and then next thing I knew I was done! I couldn't believe the difference it had made already. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Fernau in the future. More

In Desparate Need of Cleavage - Pittsburgh, PA - I have always wanted a breast augmentation. I went to 5 doctors and no one even compared to Dr. Fernau. He is internationally recognized for his work in body contouring. He trained in Brazil and has extensive knowledge. He is so kind and down to earth and really listens. His staff is tremendous. This process was so easy. He placed 375 cc silicone gel implants using the Quick Recovery technique and used a 72 hour long acting anesthetic called Exparel and I had NO pain. My results are perfect! I also had Smartlipo of my abdomen and hips and I really look great! He is my doctor !!! More

Laser Scar Revision - Pittsburgh, PA - I had laser scar revision on my leg. The results were fantastic. Dr. Fernau fixed the incision and took care of the nerves that were affected by my accident. I also had laser scar revision on my hand, and he provided free follow ups to ensure that the scar was completely non existent. The staff was incredibly friendly. They all had cheerful tones, and they ensured that I was comfortable. They are all wonderful and sweet. They really care about their patients. I had practically no wait time. I would recommend Dr. Fernau to any friend, and I will keep him as my primary doctor. More

40 Years Old - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. Fernau has performed multiple surgeries on me and my results were excellent! He has so many positive reviews and while waiting in his waiting area there were so many positive comments about him as a doctor. He has won multiple top Dr. awards in Pittsburgh and in Pennsylvania and nationally. I saw that he was featured in Newsweek for one of his facelifts he performed and for performing an incredible surgery to reconstruct the entire scalp for it in place of Evanuick Russian girl. Most importantly he did this at no charge! His staff is wonderful and Dr. Fernau and his entire staff care about my recovery. He also performs laser resurfacing at no additional charge to make sure there is no scar present. No other plastic surgeon does this to my knowledge. He is truly a unique position and will be my plastic surgeon for the rest of my life. More

53 Years Old Physician, Revision Rhinoplasty After First Procedure at Age 16 Due to Birth Defect - Pittsburgh, PA - Dr. Fernau and his staff are wonderful. I picked this Doctor because he was double boarded in ENT and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery AND because he was only provider in the area who is member of Rhinoplasty Assn. He travels the world to learn and share his expertise in the procedure of rhinoplasty. He is highly qualified to do revision rhinoplasty which I waited almost 40 years to get done because I was waiting for the technology and the right surgeon! Obviously I did it and I am pleased! Is it your first rhinoplasty procedure? if you get it right the first time by choosing Dr. Fernau, you won't have to worry about revision! I recommend Dr. Fernau highly and without reservation. More

22 Years Old, Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure - Best Experience Ever! - Pittsburgh, PA - He truely cares about each one of his patients as if we are one of his children. He was there during my entire consult, gave me his cell phone number for any questions before or after my surgery, and made sure I was confident in both his skills as well as the machine, the HydroSolve, that he would be using. His experience worldwide is exceptional, and his work that he performed on me was truely artistic. He does an outstanding job. - - 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

When I was brought back, the surgical technician, Sherry, took some time with me to get my medical history and answer a few questions I had. She made me feel extremely comfortable and made an effort to answer my questions in great detail and was so relatable.When the doctor came in, he totally won me over. He was very professional but had such a great personality too. You could tell he didn't just mean business and want to take my money, he actually cared about me.After I decided to go through with the surgery, the doctor, his nurse Sheila and their surgical technician Sherry all gave me their personal cell phone numbers to call at anytime if I had any questions or concerns. I ended up having to call them in the middle of the night one night and they still answered right away and had me come in the very next morning.Overall, my experience was a 10/10. From the preop process all the way through to my post op experience. Im now about 15 months post op and couldn't be happier with my results! You gave me the confidence I needed Dr Fernau and I can't thank you enough!!!! 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

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

Microneedling Was Worth It Performed by Cindy Scozio at Dr. Fernau's Office - Pittsburgh, PA - I have never had a bad experience at Dr. Fernau's office. All of his employees have always been extremely kind to me, and Dr. Fernau himself has shown me interest and care. My skin concerns involve Cindy Scozio in particular, who has worked with me over the years to treat my acne and acne scars. She has just recently performed a new treatment on me, which I loved for both my acne and scarring. The microneedle combined with Regenica made my acne disappear completely for a solid month, and I had multiple red spots that completely went away. Additionally, the acne scars that have been present for years, though severely diminished since seeing Cindy, were even further reduced by 50-75% depending on the spot. I was also happy that no numbing was needed; my forehead was minimally painful, and my cheeks didn't hurt a bit. There was only one day that I had to go without wearing makeup, and after that you couldn't even tell I had anything done! It was perfect to get done right before I went to the beach. I have been seeing Cindy for 3 years now, and I've never had an unpleasant experience! More

24 Year Old-Rhinoplasty - Pittsburgh, PA - I recently had a rhinoplasty through Dr. Fernau and his medical staff. During my research process, he appeared in my searches time after time and the reviews spoke highly of his wonderful bedside manners, professionalism, and successes in his procedures. I consulted a few surgeons because I wanted to ensure that I would not receive "botched" results on my nose. The experiences I had with the other businesses were either mediocre or poor--rushing me through phone calls, speaking unprofessionally, etc. However, my first phone call to Dr. Fernau's office was exceptional. The receptionist took time to discuss my questions, concerns, fears, and even gave me insight into her experiences.My consultation with Dr. Fernau was similar to the first phone call; he took all the time I needed to get through my questions and concerns (over 2 hours) and had no problem taking more time with me if I needed it! I have never experienced a doctor that has taken that much time with me! He discussed the changes that would be made to my nose and the life changing medical benefits that would result-particularly the ability for me to breathe well (which has resulted in my receiving more oxygen, increased energy levels, and ability to sleep through the night).Dr. Fernau had incredible bedside manners during the procedure and was just as excited as I was to experience the successful results. He has answered his phone, day and night, to allay any concerns and answer my questions during my recovery. Even in my post-op appointments, he took well over an hour with me to discuss how happy he was with the outcome and to answer all the questions I had for the future. Every member of Dr. Fernau's staff has been so genuinely happy for me and has taken it upon themselves to open up about their experiences with their own procedures. Dr. Fernau had described how life-changing this procedure would be for me, and he was correct. I sincerely recommend Dr. Fernau and his staff for any procedure you are considering, because they are caring and genuine, and highly skilled professionals. They desire, as much as you, to give you the best results possible. 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.

Not only do they perform their jobs well, their personalities made the experience that much better. You're treated like a good friend and every question and concern is thoroughly addressed.

And his staff is just as gracious. - - As a 42 year old male, I was experiencing classic symptoms of male pattern baldness.
