I had the good fortune of seeing Dr. Fenner’s results in several family members and friends before choosing him myself, and my experience confirmed what I already knew—his work is unmatched. Dr. Fenner is both highly trained (three fellowships) and gifted with an artistic eye. He has a rare ability to make people look refreshed, younger, and more vibrant, while still completely like themselves. His results are natural, symmetrical, and refined. What truly sets him apart is his kindness. He is compassionate, attentive, and always available—qualities that are unusual to find alongside such exceptional surgical talent. Dr. Fenner is not only a brilliant surgeon but also a true healer. I am so grateful I found him and recommend him wholeheartedly.

I had a wonderful experience with doctor Fenner! He made the whole process very comfortable and has been very accommodating with my busy schedule. The recovery was just as he described and they gave very clear instructions. I LOVE my results !!!! Would highly recommend.

Dr. Fenner is amazing!!! My friend recommended him, as she got a breat reduction over 6 years ago and us still thrilled with the results. I was scared, but Dr. Fenner and his staff made me feel really comfortable firing the initial consultation. I had breast reduction and am very happy with the results! Dr. Fenner is a perfectionist and a true professional! He is so curious and has great bedside manners! My breasts look amazing, it's been 5 months since the surgery and the scars are almost gone. I honestly could not wish for a better result! Thank you Dr. Fenner!!!!

I love Dr. Fenner so much I’d marry him if he’d have me. Rhinoplasty. 2014. I met Dr. Fenner through a client of mine at my spa. Kimmy and her mother both had amazing things to say in regards to his work. Let me preface by saying these are two women who are meticulous in their appearance, the kind you see in the Who’s Who section, the kind that spare no expense at the finer things in life. Her mother, who’d needed surgery after breast cancer, even worked with him on a broader capacity for breast cancer outreach. After speaking with these two gals, Kim who’d I’d known for over 10 years, I knew I had found my plastic surgeon. She also told me how several girls she knows, her being basically a supermodel with thousands of high calibre friends, had story after story of women she knew who LOVES Dr. Fenner. Seems I’ve got heavy competition for those wedding plans of mine. The results of my surgery. Of course it turned out well. Except for the one part that I differed in opinion. I wanted a slight upturn whereas he suggested not. I totally should have gone with his opinion. Nonetheless, completely happy. Liposuction of both front and back midsection and front and back thighs. Mole removal on my face. 2019. This one I’d struggled with. Growing up, I was a size 0 and had curves like a Victoria’s Secret supermodel. Let’s face it, bordering on an eating disorder and smoking a pack a day will do that. Those of us born in the early 1970s understand this was just how it was done. Then, I got healthier, and despite adopting a vegan, yoga retreat going, Ayurvedic learning, Greek island summer home-ing, spa owning lifestyle, the weight came on. It took a lot to admit defeat and ask for help. I could no longer do another Master Cleanse for 20 days. One of my long time clients, Jeni, was actually one of Dr. Fenner’s nurse anesthetist at NorthShore, helped me work through the emotions of the whole thing and actually go through with it. Can you imagine I was so embarrassed to even show the man where I’d failed and needed lipo. This is where he really shines. He truly is the sweetest man. The gentlest man. Not just as a doctor but as a human being. I think he knows what he does is life changing. I’m not sure if he knows why. It’s because he treated me so kindly when I felt like some sort of wounded animal caught in a trap. The results of my surgery. Of course it turned out well. And he gave me a discount even. By the way, Jeni says he’s one of the nicest surgeons to work with. Liposuction of my arms. Lower face lift. Another mole removal on my face. 2022. I just had these procedures done a couple weeks ago. I feel amazing. I can’t believe how much I’d forgotten what I looked like without saggy cheeks, chin, and neck. And I used to have the best arms, really it was my favorite feature. During Covid, of which I baked my way through, my once always super toned arms quadrupled in size. The results of my surgery. Of course it turned out well. Dare I say I feel pretty again. When I look in the mirror, do I still see all the imperfections? Absolutely. But the reflection is undeniably better. Besides myself, I have sent every single client of mine to Dr. Fenner when asked for recommendations and even when not asked. Mary, who had an eye lift a few years ago, can’t stop talking about all the other things she wants. Jodi and Elizabeth both had nose imperfections treated by him with total satisfaction. Then there are my clients who have already known him. Vanessa’s entire family has seen him. Her sister, who did something horrible to her face was visited by Dr. Fenner at the hospital in the middle of the night and he didn’t even charge her. Several other clients of mine who are already familiar, the It girls of Chicago, say he’s the best “boob man.” To sum it up, Dr. Fenner is a tiny but integral part of my quality of life. I’ve probably spent a total of 15 waking minutes with him. But his impact is immense. And I feel so fortunate this man literally works around the clock, because he is in high demand and otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get an appointment. His clientele are not generally the kind to write Yelp or Google reviews, they’re too busy deciding between the Greek Isles or the Amalfi Coast. But make no mistake, he’s The One. Mr. Big has nothing on Dr. Fenner.

Dr. Fenner is the best plastic surgeon I have seen. Firstly, he works much harder than anyone else to achieve perfection--and he has the skill and eye to get you as close to it as possible. Secondly, he has an incredible amount of experience, which anyone in medicine will tell you is key when it comes to surgery. Doctors in the past have seen me once post-surgery. Doctor Fenner followed-up for months to make sure the result was everything I expected. I will feel comfortable going back if I need something in the future. In choosing a plastic surgeon, I recommend two things: 1) scrutinize the before and after pictures they provide during the consultation and 2) ask what percentage of the doctor's patients are returning patients. Oh, one other thing: the people who work in his office are warm and supportive, which, based on my experience, is unusual.

My initial plastic surgeon failed to acknowledge I had an uneven cleavage after my bilateral mastectomy, I found Dr. Fenner for a second opinion. Dr. Fenner took over my post op care, and corrected my cleavage during the expander/silicone exchange surgery. I am very happy with the outcome.

Dr. Fenner is an amazing surgeon. He is definitely gifted. He had been recommended to me by a physician friend who is a breast oncology surgeon. In the months before my surgery, I had other physicians and nurses ask me who I will be using for reconstruction after double mastectomy. I told them Dr. Fenner, and they all gave me assurance that he is absolutely the best and that I made the right choice. So from the start, I felt great about my decision. Post op, his staff was amazing as well. His nurses are extremely caring and made me feel at ease. Everyone has some anxiety after surgery, and it is a great feeling to have a doctor and staff that understands and never gets annoyed with your questions or concerns. My results: my breasts came out better than I had ever expected. I cannot even believe how even and balanced they look. Judging from my outcome, I believe that Dr. Fenner is a perfectionist and I highly recommend him!

Start to finish Dr. Fenner has exceeded my expectations. I am a breast cancer survivor of 17+ years who had breast implants replaced a few years after undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. Over the last several years my implants increasingly became hard on both sides; one breast sat lower than the other and I had scar tissue on one causing the breast to bubble over the scar a bit. After several years of living with it I decided to do something about it. I had two consultations with Dr. Fenner prior to deciding to schedule my procedure. His compassionate demeanor was evident during both consults. He asked questions on what I thought would be a successful outcome, then shared what he would consider doing and why. I did not feel pressured to make a decision and felt he wanted me to feel educated and comfortable with the options available to me. Dr. Fenner performed a breast implant exchange and mastopexy surgery. (replaced silicone implants, scar removal/breast lift) The procedures went wonderfully. Actually, I can’t believe that after only three weeks how delighted I am with the results. For lack of a better description I would say he is an artist – I could see he was really thinking about what exactly he would do and he was 100% focused on the best results possible for me. Dr. Fenner is a highly skilled professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Hi All, First thank you to everyone on this site who has posted their opinions, experiences and photos as these have been invaluable. I may post photos later but trust me, my results are beyond my expectations! My new small breasts and waistline are fabulous. I met with 3 board certified Plastic Surgeons on Chicago's North Shore. Dr. Kim, Dr. Gutowski and Dr. Geoffrey Fenner. I chose Dr. Fenner and his work and artistry are top notch. My Breast reduction was covered by insurance but my tummy tuck (which was necessary to make my smaller breasts look proportional to my waistline) was approx. $15,000. He also did quite a bit of lipo on my flanks and my mons pubis. My surgery was done at Highland Park Hospital on the North Shore. The surgery itself was approx. 5.5 hours and I ended up staying 2 nights in hospital mainly from anesthesia problems and low blood pressure. NOW, 3 things I did or wish I had done: I wish I had given a bag of blood prior to my surgery. I ended up needing blood on day 2 of my recovery in hospital. I DID rent an electric lift chair/recliner from a medical supply store---IT has been a god-send! I slept in it for about 10 days and I can't imagine my recovery without it. Also, I bought an elevated toilet seat which again made my recovery so much easier! The breast reduction recovery has been a piece of cake...really. No problems and very little pain. The TT recovery has been way more painful and difficult...Thank heavens for the lift chair and elevated toilet seat! I'm almost 3 weeks post and I'm walking my dogs, and sleeping in my bed. I still have an abdominal drain but it should come out this week. Drain removal was not painful. Again, I'm super happy with my entire surgery-EVERYTHING! I only wish I had done this 20 years ago. BTW, I'm 56 yo, 5'5" and my pre-surgery weight was 144lbs, non-smoker. Updated on 18 Dec 2017: Decided to post a before and after photo. I truly am amazed at the transformation and the beautiful job performed by Dr. Fenner. I have healed without any issues or complications. Melissa and Heather, in Fenner's office have been a joy to work with!

Decided to go ahead and write a review since I have found this site very helpful pre-op and post op as well. I'm 5'5 114lbs and was a 32a before. I've always wanted bigger boobs and finally made the decision to do it! It all happened rather quickly (I was able to take more time off from work than I had thought so I pulled the trigger to have a breast augmentation instead of going on a vacation) My first consultation was end of January and on March 1 I had my procedure. I went into it not really knowing much (I.e. what the common cc's are and that a lot of women regret not going bigger). So when I went in for my consultation and tried on sizers I thought the 325cc's were actually almost too big for me but made the decision with my PS to go with that size since they are being place under the muscle. My left breast has 300cc and right is 325cc since my left breast naturally has always been bigger. It's only been 2 weeks post op and I'm still getting used to/feeling like I have bigger boobs! Ha, I read so many reviews from women on here saying they felt the same way or wished they had gone bigger and I'd look at their pictures and think to myself, 'there's no way I'll feel like that'....and guess what-I did! It took me about 6 days post op to actually believe I was any bigger than before. When I tried on some of my old bikini tops is when it sunk in and I felt great about the way I looked and the size I chose! I always wore a VS super push-up padded bra that made my boobs 2x the size they really were and had mastered the craft of making my boobs look bigger. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can finally wear backless dresses and tops without a bra or a bra with a ton of padding! Updated on 16 Mar 2016: It's been 2 weeks since my procedure and I feel great! Breasts are not swollen much any more and they're slowly starting to drop down and feel a lot less hard as the days continue. Still sleeping on my back. I did however sleep on my side for a little bit last night and it wasn't that uncomfortable. I'm able to wash my hair in shower using full range of motion in both arms. Gets better day by day! Photos were taken today at the 2 week mark :) Updated on 23 Mar 2016: Not much has changed within a week. My stitches were removed this morning and now will just tape the incisions until I see my doc again in a month-the scars are not nearly as bad as I thought they were going to be! Happy about that :) My right breast is dropping slower than my left but not by much. Ive been massaging them and will spend a little more time with my right ;)...I've def been having moments where I regret not going bigger, and thinking to myself they don't seem much bigger than they were before. It is such a strange feeling! This site has helped a lot by reading other women's stories and knowing I'm not the only one who goes through this! I know with time I'll get more used to them and do I believe I chose the right size for me....just wanted to share my thoughts on here for myself and others. Updated on 2 Apr 2016: I can't believe it's already been one month since my breast augmentation!...My right breast has finally caught up to my left in regards to softness and they feel so natural already!! The stiffness when I first wake up in the morning has gone away and I continue to love them more and more as the days go by. :) My scars aren't as bad as I thought they would be. My left boob has the 'worse' scar out of the two but isn't painful-just gets irritated if I'm moving around all day in a regular bra. Everything seems to be going very well! Just wanted to update on my first month and put some pics of my scars on here too. Updated on 6 May 2016: Just wanted to continue monthly update and post some pics of progress thus far. They continue to feel very natural-right one is still a tiny bit higher than left and I'm massaging it twice a day for about 3 minutes each time. No pain at all and able to lie on my stomach with zero pain-it's just an awkward feeling if anything. As far as size I'd say I'm more like a 32D (as apposed to 32DD which I was measured at a month ago and measured the same last week). The DD bras cover so much of my boob though that it shows when I wear tank tops-so the D I like better. Still wearing tape over scars. Adding some pics with bikini tops on-when I have doubts about size I chose (not going bigger), seeing myself in bikini tops re-assures me I chose the size I wanted :) Updated on 17 Apr 2017: It's been a little over a year since I had my breast augmentation. I'm still very happy with my results and no regrets. It took a while to feel comfortable working out using my arms/chest...it was more of an awkward/uncomfortable feeling at first and I always thought I was going to displace them or that they were going to pop out of my chest. Haha-it was just getting back to building my strength and muscles back after not using them for so long. Now, I'm used to it and it's not such a strange feeling to me when I do arm/back or chest exercises...I also noticed that my posture got worse post op-(obviously due to the slightly extra weight on top)-so that's why I also began doing more exercises involving my upper body so I could help prevent me from walking around with my shoulders scrunched in and slightly hunched over. Definitely has made a difference and am glad I worked on correcting that sooner than later. I still feel like they look a lot bigger when I have my bathing suit on vs. clothes. Which I'm fine with. I wanted to still look 'natural' but fill out a bralette/bikini top and that's exactly what I ended up with! ????....I still have visible scars but continue to fade. Right side has faded more than the left.
