He is not a good doctor

He Did a breast reduction on me. The stitches he used were bad. I had to go to his office for 3 to 4 months to have him scrape the bacteria from my left breast because of the stitches. During those times he Told me that he had gone to another company for stitches. My breasts are scarred. No one will ever touch these because they are ugly! I regret going to him!!

Calf Augmentation/ Bicep implants

Dr Fernau did such a great job using an anatomical calf implant augmentation. He also used fat grafting for perfection. I had no downtime. He used Exparel long acting anesthetic. He really cares about his patients. Great doctor, great results.
At the time of my calf augmentation Dr Fernau did bicep implants. They are really perfect. Like I said great doctor, great results.

Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast Augmentation

Dr Fernau is the best. Personable, smart, honest and informative. His skills are amazing! He transformed my body from flabby and saggy to bold and beautiful ! Tummy and love handles gone. New breasts and new butt ! He performed my surgery far beyond my expectations. My postoperative care was wonderful. His staff is also amazing. I would send any friend or any family member to him.
