Patient Reviews
Jun 20, 2023
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.
