Before my surgery, so many people had told me I was wasting my money, that I didn't need it and that I was beautiful the way I was. I didn't see myself that way, and while I appreciated the kind words- I didn't believe it. No matter who said it. No matter how many times I heard it. God himself could have told me I was beautiful and I would not have believed it. I needed to believe it for myself. Since my surgery, I've also had many people tell me that I did all of this for attention and validation from others, which, In some subconscious way- I'm sure a small part of this journey IS in fact my feelings of needing validation from others. But that's a story for a different day- when the topic is childhood trauma. I did this for myself. I needed to be able to look in the mirror and love myself. I needed to be in a healthier mental state- just to keep living. Literally. My body has caused an immense amount of depression and self image issues for 13 years- and I was ready to feel better. REALLY ready. I weighed 196lbs in January, which is the heaviest I've EVER been- even during pregnancy- while Steve was only 10lbs heavier than me. Like what?! Even his T-shirts that used to be big on me we're starting to get too small. I decided enough was enough. I am not comfortable with not even being able to fit into my man's T-shirt if I want. I set myself a goal for 2021 to lose about 50 pounds and get a tummy tuck surgery. I had to start somewhere, so I started researching plastic surgeons from here to Miami to Mexico. I finally found one that I felt very confident in just from looking at his online portfolio. Lucky for me- a nurse that I used to work with (who is a great nurse) works for him now so I had double the confidence and comfort of actually knowing who would be taking care of me. I was actually already established at a different plastic surgeon and decided to leave. I wanted the best of the best when it came to altering my body. I didn't meet my goal weight by the time of my surgery, which was disappointing, but the motivation to maintain and continue to lose weight solidified when I first got a glimpse of the new me- the day after surgery. As of today I weigh 159.2lbs. I have lost 36.8lbs. Let me tell you- that's just what I got. The BEST of the best. What Dr. Fedele was able to do for me- I could never repay him for. I honestly feel like what I paid doesn't cover the incredible results I have, let alone the drastic improvement in my quality of life. Just six weeks ago I dreaded getting up in the morning and looking at myself. Don't even talk about clothes shopping back then- or taking a photo that wasn't from my neck up. I allowed my self image to dictate what I did in life. I was extremely picky about my clothing and learned how to dress to hide my unflattering figure- which is probably why some said I was wasting my money and didn't need the procedures. To think that I allowed that to go on for so long, causing so much mental anguish, is ridiculous. I know I'm also not the only one who has struggled with this. If you are looking for a sign to move forward with a surgery, THIS is it. This is what I was hiding for so many years. What I was ashamed of and embarrassed about. This is what caused me to feel unattractive and undesirable. And now it's gone. I can breathe again. The after photos were taken today- at 4 weeks, 6 days post op. Thanks for reading. I am having trouble uploading the photos. It appears that you were able to but I don't have any type of upload button. I will try again later! read more

Amazing surgeon. Without question, the absolute best! I have been flat chested my entire life (even more so after kids) and wanted a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. I am now in my 40s and done having children, so it seemed like a good time. It was important for me to find a doctor who didn't "commercialize" the practice of medicine and who had a real interest in my well-being. I wanted a doctor who saw his craft as both an art and a science. I wanted someone who was brilliant but also warm, approachable, respectful, humble, and genuinely a nice person. Dr. Fedele embodies all of that and so much more! His approach is collaborative. He gives you his honest, professional opinion on what he believes is the best course medically and aesthetically. He is equally attentive to your goals and ultimately leads you to make an informed and confident decision. He is easy to talk to and non-judgmental. He made a point to personally call me twice to address my questions and concerns (and after surgery to check in on me). He never made me feel rushed. He stressed that my decisions were important ones and that as my doctor, he was there to guide me. He could have easily delegated these calls to his nurse, but he chose to address them himself. Dr. Fedele is a genius in the OR - his work is amazing - beyond the ordinary. He is meticulous, and his technique is exquisite. I had very little swelling, no bruising, and minimal pain after surgery. My breasts looked beautiful almost immediately. I was expecting swollen, blocky, bruised breasts. I had none of that! The results are exactly what I had hoped for - he nailed it! It is evident that Dr. Fedele holds his team to the same high standards he sets for himself. Every member of his team is exceptional (including all of the professionals at the Brainard Surgery Center - shout out to Dr. Rogoff - loved you!). It is a joy to interact with any one of them. They work remarkably well together, they show each other respect, and they put the patients first - that all comes from the top! If I could give Dr. Fedele an infinite number of stars, I would. In my eyes, you won't find a better doctor. read more

I was treated by Dr. Fedele for reconstructive breast surgery following a double mastectomy. At the age of 30, it was recommended that I received a mastectomy, which was a very daunting process. I was nervous, scared and anxious for it all to be over with. After meeting Dr. Fedele and his team, my negative thoughts and energy turned positive and confident. I immediately knew I was in great hands, which would support me along the way. The team took such personalized care of me, knowing the best way to ease my worries. Leading up to the surgery, Dr. Fedele educated me about all of my options and assisted me with choosing the best route for me. He provided me with information and answered all of my questions. The day of surgery, Dr. Fedele held my hand and comforted me until I was fully under anesthesia. The last thing I remember him saying is "we will take good care of you". He, indeed, did take good care of me. The surgery went well and his team made sure I was comfortable and healed well. He provided me with his person phone number to call if anything came up. I now have my surgery behind me and I could not be happier. I am a better version of myself and look back on the experience positively due to my caring team and the end results. I would recommend Dr. Fedele to my closest family members and friends, knowing they would be in amazing hands. I am grateful to have found Dr. Fedele and I cannot thank him enough. He is not only skilled at his practice, but his personalized care for his patients is exceptional. read more

Extraordinary Surgeon with Extraordinary Heart! Dr. Fedele in Cleveland, Ohio, performed abdominoplasty, liposuction, breast implant exchange & breast lift on me in June . I expected him to be one of the best Plastic Surgeons according to my research. He exceeded my expectations. His skills, results and heart are beyond spectacular. He is an extremely warm & caring Surgeon who listens. What came as a complete shock was his treatment of me while I was being prepped in the OR. I am 68 years old and I was terrified before my 6 hour surgery. Dr. Fedele walked up close to me, took my hand in his and kept constant contact with my eyes while he was talking to me softly. He told me not to worry, everything was going to be ok, he was going to take good care of me. I cannot tell you how this made a huge difference for me. It was incredibly comforting and reassuring and I felt 100% better. It calmed me down. I have had quite a few surgeries in my life. I never had a Surgeon or Doctor do this for me. It still makes me teary eyed just thinking about it. Dr. Fedele is literally a one-of-a kind Plastic Surgeon in every aspect. I heartily recommend him to everybody considering plastic surgery. If there was a Nobel price for Plastic Surgeons he would get it. I am thrilled beyond belief with my results. I did not expect such an amazing result for someone my age. I would be amiss not to mention his exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. read more

My experience with Dr. Fedele and his staff far exceeded any expectations I had going in. He was the first and last consultation I had. Upon meeting Dr. Fedele, I knew right away that he was the Dr. for me. He is extremely thorough and makes sure he answers any and all questions you have until you are 100% sure with your decision. He knows what is best for you and your body SO LISTEN TO HIM! He takes into account exactly what you are looking to achieve, combined with your body type and decides what will work best and trust me, he knows - he is the expert! From start to finish, Dr. Fedele made himself available by email, phone and as many appointments I needed to feel confident in what I was deciding for myself. My surgery could not have gone any smoother and my recovery was virtually pain free. I just had my 2-month post op visit and am almost 100% healed and I couldn't love my results more. Dr. Fedele gave me what I have always wanted and I will be forever grateful I went with my gut and chose him to be my doctor. Dr. Fedele says once you are his patient, you are his patient for life and he truly means it. There isn't a better doctor or staff (his staff is AMAZING!) around so if you want the results you desire - go see him today! read more

You will not find a more caring and meticulous surgeon than Dr. Fedele. Like many other new moms after extreme weight gain and nursing two babies for a year each, I was left with undesirable breasts. The decision to get breast implants in my 20's was the right decision for me at that time of my life. Eighteen years later after gravity and aging skin took over, I found myself in Dr. Fedele's office discussing my options. Dr. Fedele was extremely patient and explained the 3 options for me. 1. implant removal only 2. implant removal and a second breast augmentation 3. implant removal and a masoplexy (lift) I chose option 3. Dr. Fedele did such an incredible job. In my mid 40's I look and feel better than I did in my 20's. Dr. Fedele is the right choice if you are considering a procedure to enhance your appearance and self-confidence. Additionally, the office staff and nurses are kind and extraordinary. In my opinion the best gift you can give yourself is saying yes to yourself and any enhancement surgery with Dr. Fedele. He will get you the results you're looking for! read more

Dr. Fedele is absolutely incredible and so very talented. I am currently only 1 week post op and from day 1 I have been in utter amazement with how perfect my breasts look and feel. I know I have weeks ahead of me and I fully intend to follow up with another review at that time. At this point, I would do this entire process over And over again. I would and will be recommending him to any and all people who ask. I want to thank him and his incredible staff for making my dreams come true. This has been a huge insecurity and desire of mine for my entire life, so to finally have the confidence breast implants from such a skilled surgeon give, I feel on top of the world! the staff are all incredible and warming. I am genuinely disappointed that I only have one more 6 week check up haha I truly enjoy the Dr. and his staff. 10/10 recommend. i will follow up after those 6 weeks but I expect nothing less than perfection, still he truly is an artist and my healing is going great, pain is minimal and I cannot stop staring at them read more

Dr. Fedele is absolutely amazing. After recently having three kids, the most recent pregnancy with twins, my breasts were so deflated and sad. Being relatively young, I felt like they did not match the rest of my body. I wanted natural, full, perky breasts, but did not want to appear fake at all. Dr. Fedele was so warm and caring about my insecurities, and he was so knowledgeable and confident in helping me obtain the results I wanted. I can say I absolutely love my results and feel like "myself" again! Also, after my surgery Dr. Fedele personally called me and answered all my post op concerns and questions. I have also received laser hair removal at Dr. Fedele's. Every time I go in I am welcomed by the kindest staff and Megan is just wonderful with handling all of my cosmetic needs! I highly recommend Dr. Fedele to anyone; I trust him and his staff fully! read more

BEST PLASTIC SURGEON EVER!! Dr. Fedele is the most amazing plastic surgeon EVER. He is so unbelievably caring, professional, genuine and amazing at what he does. The top photo is a HORRIBLE breast augmentation done by a doctor in mentor and I was so unhappy with the result. It was completely botched. Dr. Fedele completely changed my life by giving me the exact desired result I have wanted for so long (bottom photo). He is so warm and kind as well as his entire staff. The whole office makes you feel safe and comfortable. I wish I could share the before and after photos because they are amazing. He made me look exactly like I wanted to and the entire experience was a complete pleasure. I recommend Dr. Fedele to anyone who is looking to get plastic surgery especially breast augmentation because he is the BEST around hands down. I mean LOOK at the difference! read more

I have always been an active woman, working out almost every single day. However, being 52 years old and a mother of two children, I was unable to get rid of my lower stomach "pooch", no matter how hard I worked out. I did my research on the procedures and the doctors in the Cleveland area and after meeting Dr. Fedele, I knew I found "The One". He and his entire staff are patient, kind, professional and honest. It has now been 11 weeks after my liposuction and modified tummy tuck and I look in the mirror in awe, daily.....I'm not kidding. I am no longer self conscious in a bathing suit, a tight dress or my gym tights and tanks! Not only did he change how my stomach looks, but gave me the self confidence I have been missing for years. Dr. Fedele Is simply amazing at what he does and I truly would not go to anyone else. read more

If you want to look 'refreshed' and 'natural' after your cosmetic procedures, look no further than Dr. Fedele! His skills are best-in-class, and the surgical experience he delivers is outstanding. During my initial consult, Dr. Fedele was kind and mindful in answering my many questions - and - he took the time to carefully understand the outcome that I was looking for (i.e. I wanted to look refreshed and natural. without looking like I had work done!). Dr. Fedele's bedside manner pre and post-op is unparalleled, and his calls to make sure I was doing OK after my surgeries were very thoughtful and caring. If I could give Dr. Fedele more than 5 stars, I would. My deepest thanks to him and his team for making my experience a wonderful one that far exceeded my expectations! read more

Dr. Fedele is literally a cut above the rest. I spent months researching drs to do my first procedure. I had multiple consults and after meeting Dr. Fedele I knew in my gut that he was the doctor for me. My first procedure went without hitch.

Everyone at the office, especially his assistants, are so helpful and welcoming. Im so thankful that they never made me feel like a number.

Dr. Fedele was the second (and last) plastic surgeon I had a consult with for my abdominoplasty. From the beginning, he and his staff were so thorough, taking ample time to show videos/pictures, explain the procedure, and answer all of my questions.

This was my second breast augmentation, first surgery with Dr Fedele. I had capsular contracture from my previous surgery so this was a replacement. Dr Fedele & his whole team were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Dr Fedele gave me a lot of information that my first surgeon did not tell me in regards to the care I could take to prevent capsular contracture. Any time I had questions, he responded near immediately to ease my mind. I am so happy with my results! They are much more natural and full looking compared to my last surgery. I cannot recommend Dr Fedele and his team enough! read more

Dr. Fedele's office staff are a reflection of his caring manner and are helpful both pre and post operative procedure. If you are in the greater Cleveland area, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fedele. He is the best! read more

I waited over 10 years to have my breast augmentation done. I went to multiple consults and thought it over for a very long time. When I met Dr. Fedele I knew he was the surgeon I needed.
