As many others approaching their 50-60s, I was unhappy w my hooded eyes. I no longer saw my upper eyelid while putting on make up. I looked tired and angry all the time. When I smiled, my eyes were reduced to small slits. I decided in 2019 to have a consultation at Premiere. The office is beautiful and serene, very relaxing and reassuring that this was a top notch practice. The staff was attentive and kind, as if they could feel my apprehention. Dr Heil listened to my every word, answered my questions, and explained the process in detail- prior to the procedure and through recovery. I was given an estimate and said I would "think about it." Well, I just couldn't do it. What would others think of me? How could I function while healing? What "if" something went wrong, etc Fast forward to May 2025- I made another consultation appointment and met w Dr Heil again- this time I was ready! Again, he explained in detail what to expect before, during, and after. We scheduled for December because that was a slow time for me at work and it would be easier for me to stay home during the healing process. Yes I was scared, but I did it, and could not be happier! The photos are taken day 38 after surgery, and it keeps getting better! In addition to removing the appearance of hooded eyes, I can literally see SO much better! The world is brighter and bigger. I didnt know how severely my vision was being affected. It took me several years to get the courage to have the blepharoplasty, (I had upper and lower), but I am very happy I chose Dr Heil @ Premiere, the care I received was beyond all expectations. I highly recommend them!

BEST decision I ever made. From scar revision surgery { from another PS } I thought I would just have to " live with ",....Uhhhh,...no! .... Dr Heil revised my Tummy Tuck scar to the finest THIN white scar that was nearly undetectable ! No more covering up the insecurities that I had felt. Later that year I had that same thin scar needled after it fully healed to white and it appears is as if I had never had a surgical scar at all...vanished. I have had other experiences since that time with him and have no regrets. Please feel confident to trust this surgeon for the best outcome achievable. Dr. Heil spends time with you, no matter how long it takes and the outcome has always been positive.

I had a consultation done for a procedure at the South Hills location with An(drea). We did talk on the phone prior to my visit. I appreciated that she made multiple attempts to get in touch with me, since most places just leave a message and then forget all about you. When I arrived I was given an iPad by the lady at the front desk. It took me a few minutes to enter all of my personal and medical information before I had the consult. Make sure to have lists of medications, phone numbers, lab results and such with you when you go to speed along your process. Drea was able to tell me exactly how the procedure I was interested in was conducted, how long it would take and possible side effects as well as the type of equipment that would be used. I never seemed rushed and had plenty of time to ask any questions I had. She is honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met. She has the friendliest disposition and I think anyone would feel comfortable with her performing any type of procedure. I ended up visiting the Wexford location to have said procedure done since that is where it is performed. The ladies that I encountered up there were also very nice, they seem to have q great work environment and it also makes the clientele feel relaxed and at ease. I was so happy with my visit that I will be going back to have a couple more things done. I highly recommend this Med Spa to anyone looking to freshen up how they look or feel better about themselves.

Acqua Blu is located on Rt. 19 next to Ethan Allen Furniture just north of Wexford. I have only visited a couple times, but I am already in love with this place. I see Toni for microdermabrasion and she does a fabulous job. The treatment begins with a cleansing, gentle exfoliation, a vitamin rub, facial mask, steam treatment and a hand, arm and shoulder massage. I don't believe that microdermabrasion is meant to be relaxing. However, the treatment rooms are comfortable (though very small). You have the option of removing whatever clothing you would like, but since she does a shoulder treatment, it's a good idea to get those bra straps out of the way. And the shoulder and arm massage is wonderful! She also keeps the room fairly dimly lit, but of course, sometimes you have the bright glaring facial light on your face. Microdermabrasion is painless. They use a bristle-tip head to lightly "buff" the skin, which gently lifts away dead skin cells. Directly after treatment, your skin may look a bit pink or flushed, but this has never happened to me. The building itself is beautifully decorated. Lots of treatment rooms. They don't really push to try to sell you any products. And they only mention selling you treatments when they are having special pricing. And by doing that, they are doing you a favor.

Dr Heil is a miracle worker in my opinion. My daughter had a cyst on her face that a dermatologist injected and destroyed the skin on her face. After around 6 surgeries she was left with a large purple scar. We went to Dr. Heil and after one surgery you can not even notice her scar! The office and staff was amazing and got my daughter and myself through a horrible time with amazing results. I have always wanted a tummy tuck and I have an appointment today, I would never trust anyone else!!

Excellent. The staff is so nice and helpful. They're with you through any procedure. They'll get you in as soon as possible and take all things with a serious medical standpoint. I had rhinoplasty there with Dr. Brian Heil and could not be more happy with the results. My follow up checkups were good and they asked me if I was satisfied and offered to fix things if I wasn't. I was so pleased with the results though and wouldn't change it. Definitely a scary surgery to go in to and they made me feel so at ease. I would highly recommend it.

Dr. Brian Heil and his staff are friendly, informative, easy going & down to Earth, yet very professional. Dr. Heil spent a long while explaining the procedure, asked multiple times if I had any questions and made sure that I knew and understood exactly what was going to happen step by step, and what the potential risks were. Most surgeons in my experience only briefly discuss the risks, minimize them as much as possible, and talk more about the benefits. Dr. Heil did not do that, he explained the risks at length, took the time to reveal everything that could possibly go wrong. His confidence and experience however reassured me that I was in good hands. He also made it extremely clear that if anything did happen to go wrong for whatever reason, that he and his staff were always available, and that he would be there to fix any potential problems at no additional cost. If you would happen to require more surgery the only cost you may had to cover was that of the anesthesiologist. Since Dr. Heil had the very same procedure done on himself, he showed me how well his own procedure came out, and how minimal his own scarring was. One thing that I feel it necessary to express to anyone who may read this review is that although Dr. Heil's practice isn't a psychiatric facility, I was amazed at how well Dr. Heil and everyone on his staff knew and understood the psychological aspect of having such a procedure done, and went beyond just the physical procedure in their explanations to show a deep and sincere empathy and understanding. Dr. Heil knew why you were there in the first place wanting to have the procedure done, and even discussed his own psychological experiences with the same issue. My consult was in late April of 2018, and was operated on less than 2 weeks later in May of 18! After surgery their nursing staff called multiple times just to ask how I was, and if I was having any issues. I am as of this review I am nearly 8 months post-op and the experience has been life changing. I am very pleased with the results and with the care I have received from their office. I had a minor issue once the swelling went down, I was a tad uneven, nothing really noticeable to anyone but myself haha, but they brought me into the office several times to treat that with an injection that did fix the issue. Dr. Heil had said that he was confident the injection would work, but I was reassured that if it didn't they would do whatever is necessary to fix the issue. So, this was my experience thus far! I have read a few negative reviews and wanted to say that my experience couldn't have been more positive!

as a registered nurse and seeing many of doctor heil's patients throughout the years, i had no doubt what surgeon i wanted to consult with for my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. he is great at what he does and will give his honest feedback on what he thinks would look good and natural on your body type, which i appreciated. i can't thank him enough for the great job he did on my breasts and tummy. during my healing process, i was very cranky; i couldn't wait to get back to my normal routine. doctor heil continued to remain patient and kind with me even though i was less than desirable to be around. most of the staff at premier had procedures there themselves so they were always there for me to lend support when i needed it. i huge thank you to renee for always getting back to me so quickly. being on the patient side of things and not being the nurse, gave me a different perspective and the entire experience was one i would recommend to anyone. i want to extend a big thank you to doctor heil and his entire staff for their exceptional compassion, professionalism, and care. never doubted you, only reinforced what i already knew to be true. doctor heil, he is among the best in the business.

I had a breast augmentation in November 2016. I was initially very nervous, as I never thought I would never be one to get plastic surgery, although I always dreamed of having larger breasts throughout my life. When I had my first consult with the staff it was a really great experience. One PA , Stephanie spent 30-45 minutes with me going over the process, discussing size options, and answering any questions or concerns that I had. Stephanie was so kind and engaging. Following that, Dr. Heil came and spent at least one whole hour with me answering anything else that I had asked. He took his time, shared stories, as well as supported his answers to me with medical research. Dr. Heil was very genuine, easy to talk to and knowledgeable on all of the myths, risks, etc. Dr. Heil not only made my mother and I feel more than welcome in their office, but he instilled confidence in me to move forward and trust them with this big choice. One and a half years later, and I could not be happier. I had no issues healing what so ever, used minimal medication post operatively, and faced no complications. You cannot even tell I had the procedure done, as my scars are no longer visible. Zak, their other PA saw me post-operatively and did a great job ensuring everything was healing the way it was suppose to, as well as reminding me to follow their post-op recommendations. Zak was always efficient, professional, thorough answering any concerns, and above all made me feel comfortable in the office. My breasts are the perfect size for my body and look and feel natural! If you're someone insecure with small breasts, or just want bigger breast, this Surgeon and his team at Aqua Blu and Premier Plastics are the ones to trust. They're so welcoming, trustworthy and its always a fun experience at the office.

Referred to Premier by a friend who had breast augmentation by Dr Heil. Her results were natural and experience positive. The referral was a good one for me. Dr Heil explained the procedure to me and I felt confident with his experience, vision for my surgery and also important to me was his bed side manner. i wanted a surgeon i could connect with. my results are better than I ever expected and follow-up care was never rushed . facility was impeccable and clean. like my friend I will be recommending premier to my friends and family. thank you dr heil. I love my results.

As discussed with Zack this is not a permanent fix for my sagging jowls. He did his job professionally and gave good advice. It's up to me to be willing to take the next step.
