I had a Sofwave treatment with Ashley, an esthetician at Fenner Medical Spa. Ashley walked me through each step - she was incredibly thorough, professional, and overall amazing! After talking with Ashley before my treatment, I chose to opt out of numbing. Even without the numbing, it was completely tolerable and hardly noticeable!! I even told Ashley at one point that I forgot I was getting anything done. I saw almost immediate results with my upper eyelids and submental. I have to wait a few more weeks to see the final result, but I know I will be going back again & this is a treatment I already highly recommend!

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!
