An Expert Surgeon Who Stands by His Work - Pittsburgh, PA

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

WORTH IT

In addition to breast augmentation Dr. Heil has performed a septoplasty/rhinoplasty (septo fee covered by insurance), coolsculpting, & more recently a nipple lift and liposuction/body contouring. I have been a patient of Dr. Heil's since 2010. Back then I did go on a few consults for a rhinoplasty (my first procedure) but once I met Dr. Heil I knew I had found the right surgeon. Dr. Heil has a wonderful bedside manner. He spends time explaining the procedure and makes sure you are 100% comfortable to move forward and have it done. I never feel like he was rushing out of the room or that any question was too dumb. He is proud of his work and in my opinion a perfectionist. Definitely qualities I want in a plastic surgeon. I have since referred friends and family members to Dr. Heil and they have not been disappointed. He has his own surgery center in Wexford, PA that is quite beautiful (the office/Med spa is attached).

24 Years Old 2 Kids Breast Fed for Short Period with Both 5 Foot 103 Lbs. Wexford, PA

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

WORTH IT

400 (left) and 425 (right) mod plus silicone crease incision under the muscle. Best decision ever!!!i was so self conscious after going from a C cup to a small B after having kids. I really debated having this done because it was such a financial commitment and I didn't want to look fake. I am so glad that I went with the larger size, any smaller and I think I would be disappointed!

REWARD YOURSELF AND GET THE NEOGRAFT! The pictures tell the story!- Pittsburgh, PA

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

WORTH IT

I was SO HESITANT to do a hair restoration. I has researched online for what seemed like an eternity and weighed the cost versus what I could have bought with the money. My dad was bald by age 50 and it looked like I was headed down the same path. For me it was FACEBOOK that made me realize I wanted to do this. People were posting pictures and tagging me and I just couldn't believe how old I looked. It is so true isn't it, PICTURES DON'T LIE! I worked out of town during the week and found a doctor in Pittsburgh, PA (Dr. Brian Heil) who returned my call after hours and met me on the weekend to discuss the procedure. Quite frankly I am the biggest wimp when it comes to anything medical. The procedure was remarkably uneventful. I had my Neograft with 2900 grafts on a Thursday and took off Friday and Monday so I could have 4 days off to lay low. Like most anyone researching this procedure all the testimonials you read don't really compare to the "Before and After pictures". While I was hesitant to add pictures of my daughter I thought it was important to prove what words can't express. You can see she clearly looks one year older while I look 5-7 years younger (at least I think I do). This is after only one year! What a difference NeoGraft and Dr. Heil made for me! If your on the fence with a hair restoration procedure look closely at these pictures. Pick up the phone and give Brian a call, he is truly an expert with hair restoration. He has hundreds of local patients HE HAS PERSONALLY performed this procedure on, not a photo album of patients from all over the planet.

I Just Had my Lip Implants Done Today!! LOVE!! - Wexford, PA

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

I had been watching and reading these forums for some time as I researched getting the Permalip and what size I wanted...I went with the medium size as I didn't know if the larger size was just a bit to big for my face...I figure I can always go up if I want in the future...so, I did get put to sleep and so very glad I did that...I had watched all of the youtube video's of the dental blocks and NO THANKS!! LOL I am so far in a bit of pain (a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10 with no vicodin, but a 2 out 10 with it every 4 hours)...I can still feel my lips THANK GOODNESS and I am black and blue on top of my upper lip and a few red blotches on my actual lips...not that bad though...happy so far with the shape even though I am very swollen!! I have posted a few pics, some before surgery with some left over fillers and then some today after surgery... I can say that without a doubt, I LOVE IT so far and I am hoping for a full recovery soon!

5 weeks post Revision Capsulorrhaphy Surgery for Lateral Displacement - Pittsburgh, PA

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

Yesterday I had surgery to repair lateral displacement for my right breast and a slight bottoming out for my left. I am posting this because when I was doingnmy research I couldn't find much about the surgery. My surgery went very well as far as I woke up feeling good and for the most part I am 31 hours out from surgery and while I'm swollen, I can manage the pain very well with percoset. I did do a detox of no alcohol or soda and tons of lean protein and FIGI water the weeks leading up to my surgery. That helped me process the anesthesia and should help me heal faster. I take the wrap off tomorrow to shower and will update how it looks. My original surgery came out amazing and looked totally natural so I hope this repair goes the same. The good news is that pain so far is way less than I read it would be.

Happy with Results, Thank You DR. Heil! - Pittsburgh, PA

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

WORTH IT

Fist of all, There is not a drop down Procedure that applies here, so I had to choose "dont remember"......Actually , I will never forget....I had a few surgeries over the years by other Plastic Surgeons...Lets just say, I wasnt happy with the outcome and thought I had to learn to "just live with it" After too many years of this, I decided to see Dr. Heil. I was quite impressed upon meeting him, as he actually listened and noted, also going into great detail explaining just exactly what needed to be done in order to achieve the results I was looking for. I realize it isnt easy for a PS to have to revise anothers mishaps. However, with full confidence I booked the surgeries. I have never been happier, I feel fully restored and acually have ZERO complaints. I still cannot believe the results. If this review speaks to you I just want you to know that you dont have to just accept what another surgeon has left you with. I carried that feeling for years until Dr. Heil...I could never thank him enough for the gift he has given back to me,...Restoration and confidence.....Chanel

Had my revision surgery today. August 8, 2012

Brian Vassar Heil, MD

WORTH IT

I am a mom of 2 boys ages 14 and 10. When I was 17 I gave birth to my first child. I gained 80 pounds that pregnancy.I lost the weight and pretty much maintained that till my second pregnancy. After that my body was ruined. I had my second son when I was 21 and gained 90 pounds that time. I ended up losing 100 pounds and have been able to maintain pretty much around that. I am 31 now and am so ready to have a flat stomach again. Can't even remember what it was like anymore. I really wanted to get my breasts done too but that will have to be sometime in the future. Way too much money for me. I am supposed to get my surgery on August 24th. I have an ear infection at the moment and am on an antibiotic, so I am hoping it's cleared up by then. I am a little nervous about getting the surgery and the recovery but so many have done it so I think I will be ok. I will post some before pictures soon to show you my yucky stomach lol.

The Best People Providing the Best Treatment

WORTH IT

I have been a loyal patient of Bonnie and Aqua Blu for more than a decade. I always receive the best care from the best people and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. In a world where unqualified people are doing procedures I will never understand why anyone would trust their health with anyone but the best. Bonnie and the team at Aqua Blu are exactly that.

I received microdermabrasion every month starting a year before my wedding. It was the best investment. My skin literally glowed on my special day. The staff, particularly Sarah, did an amazing job.

I love Acqua Blu! Dr. Heil is a perfectionist. I only wish I had started seeing him many years earlier. My entire family sees Dr. Busquets for dermatology. She's sweet and takes the time to make you feel comfortable. She's incredible with my two young boys, too.
