Dr. Amy Bandy’s staff is always a joy to be around, they make you feel comfortable the moment you walk into the office. Dr Bandy is professional and super sweet, I have had many procedures performed and would highly recommend Dr Amy T Bandy to anyone who is wanting to improve or accentuate their looks.

I’ve never thought of myself as vain, yet I like looking good and have always tried to look my best and stay in shape. The one thing I always said was that I wouldn’t look like a mom. I had three kids and got my body back every time. But, after having my fourth, by c-section, I was horrified. My tummy would not go back to being flat no matter what I did. And, my breasts, which I had fixed after my first three children completely changed. I had heard that Dr. Bandy does the best tummy tucks and a friend highly recommended her. I also had a hernia that needed fixing. To make a long story short, I called Dr. Bandy’s office very last minute, towards the end of the year because of insurance issues. I needed to get the surgery done before the end of the year since the hernia portion would be covered by insurance. Melissa got me in and Dr. Bandy took a great deal of time explaining what she wanted to do, what I could expect and how much time I would need to recuperate.She answered every single question and concern I had. She did an amazing job and shattered every expectation I had. I now have a tiny waist, a flat stomach, an adorable belly button and a new outlook on life.

I love being a mom…just not looking like a new one! My husband loves my new tummy and can’t get over how tight and flat it is. Dr. Bandy also switched out my saline implants and gave me the perfect sized new Memory gels. I was hesitant about the size, but she made the right call! I can hardly wait for summer so I can finally wear a bikini for the first time in 8 years!!! I recommend Dr. Bandy to anyone who’s looking to look and feel better about themselves.

I was beginning to see the first signs of aging skin, and it was really bothering me. So I decided to try the laser buff and shine peel that Dr. Bandy had been promoting via email, and I’m so glad I did! Now my skin looks amazingly clear and youthful again. The brown spots and wrinkles on my face have faded significantly. The pores in my t-zone are also much smaller and the overall clarity of my skin is just beautiful. I am hundred-percent pleased with the results and look forward to returning for more laser buff and shine treatments as needed.

Oh my goodness! What can I say! Dr. Bandy and her team were absolutely amazing! From the very first meeting, I was treated with such respect and compassion! The appointments leading up to my surgery went so smoothly and AMY in the office answered all my questions and calmed my anxiety- before, during and after my surgery! Dr bandy did such an awesome job with my breast reduction! She took the time to sit with me and really go over exactly what to expect during and after surgery. My results are above and beyond anything I expected! I would recommend Dr bandy and her office to anyone wanting a surgeon who really cares about each patient!

The nurses and anesthetist made me completely at ease the day of my surgeries.

I am VERY pleased with my experience and would recommend Dr. Bandy to anyone. I had two procedures done and both were revisions from prior surgeries, there’s no comparison. Dr. Bandy is passionate about her work and you see it in the results, she is meticulous to detail on every level. What’s even more impressive is the level of engagement and support Dr. Bandy and her staff give the patient post recovery.P.S. This was my 3rd revision and 3rd plastic surgeon, my only regret is not finding Dr. Bandy years ago.

I had been contemplating breast augmentation for years before actually having it done. Recent weight and the years themselves had not been kind to my breasts and they were no longer the ample, perky breasts they had been in my 20’s. They had been one of my favorite physical parts about myself, but I had become embarrassed by them. With my wedding just around the corner, and having waited till my mid-thirties to get married for the first time, I wanted to look and feel perfect on my big day. Dr. Bandy was the only doctor that I met with that really understood what I envisioned for my breasts. She was so personable and had such a “real person” quality about her. Both Dr. Bandy and her staff were unbelievably amazing. I must have contacted them a dozen times before my procedure with different questions and they always got back to me right away. They all made me feel so comfortable on the day of my procedure that I didn’t feel nervous at all! Every time I came in for a follow up exam, everyone wanted to see me and say Hi and tell me how great I looked! In addition, due to all the stress of planning my destination wedding, as well as a vacation for 17 people, I had huge dark circles under my eyes that could not be covered up by make-up. And my eyes were my other favorite physical part of myself! Like I said, I wanted to look and feel perfect on my wedding day.

I was more nervous about having the Juvederm put in under my eyes than I was about the breast augmentation. But Dr. Bandy and her staff quickly calmed my nerves. After having it done I couldn’t believe I had even been nervous in the first place! Thanks to the help of Dr. Bandy, I felt like a beautiful princess on my wedding day! More than a year and a half later and I still look at my breasts in the mirror and smile proudly. And nearly a year after having the Juvederm put in under my eyes, you would never know how dark the circles under my eyes had been! I feel so lucky to have been able to have Dr. Bandy help me improve how I felt about myself. I recommend her to everyone : )

I love Dr. Bandy for what she has been able to accomplish for me and my life. I feel confident and sexy again. Her staff treated me with such warmth and delicacy. I felt at home with all appointments. There are so many Plastic Surgeons on tv now these days that are touted as the best. However, through personal experience with friends and colleagues, I have discovered they are not as personable or as passionate about there abilities. I recommend Dr. Bandy to all my friends and family without losing sleep.

Everyday that goes by I am more pleased with the results of my procedure and convinced I made the right choice to have you and your staff perform it. From the first day I walked into your office in Torrance for a consultation to the surgery in Newport and follow-up visits, you and your staff have been wonderful

Dr. Bandy treated me like her own family member. She listened closely to what I wanted, and gave me her educated and honest advice. She analyzed every possible outcome for me. She is so experienced and confident! Cosmetic surgery is a crucial life event. It is nerve-wracking and wonderful all at the same time. At the end of the day, your mirrored reflection is what you want improved. It’s what you will live with every day. My result was outstanding and I am so happy. If you are planning cosmetic surgery, include Dr. Bandy on your list of considerations. She will not let you down.

Dr. Bandy is amazing… I highly recommend Dr. Bandy to anyone!

When I was seeking the expertise of a qualified plastic surgeon. I turn to board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Amy Bandy D.O F.A.C.S., Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Amy Bandy is the only surgeon I would recommend to anyone of my friends ,family, and anyone who is looking for a doctor who truly cares about her patients. After having my breast augmentation with Dr. Amy Bandy. D.O F.A.C.S I have complete confidence in my personal appearance now.

Dr. Amy Bandy, placed my implants under the muscular wall for a much more natural appearance my personal recovery was easy. with a post ops checkup the very next day. Dr. Amy Bandy and her entire team were there for me every step of the way with compassion.I have been Dr. Amy Bandy’s patient since 2011. I continue to come in for laser treatments Botox and my yearly breast checkups. I have referred 21 clients to Dr. Amy Bandy over years my modeling career has taken off due to my confidence and how natural my breast’s look. Also well as my routine botox appointments and laser treatments.

Thank you Dr. Amy Bandy

I am completely satisfied with the personal attention and complete detail I receive ever time I stop in to say hello to Dr. Amy Bandy and her compassionate and professional team.

I would, and have, recommended Dr Amy Bandy to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon, particularly for breast reconstruction/mastopexy (lift). This is actually the second breast surgery she has done for me. My first surgery with Dr Bandy was 7 years ago, a breast implant exchange, breast lift, and correction of pockets from my first implant surgery (done by another surgeon) from over 15 years ago… she was the first doctor to actually listen to me and assure me she could downsize my implants and create new smaller pockets, no other surgeon I consulted with said I would be happy with going smaller. Dr Bandy did exactly what I asked, the scars were so thin and precise they were nearly invisible within a year post surgery.

However I did return to Dr Bandy (without hesitation) a few months ago, Oct of 2019, when deciding to remove my implants and have a full capsulectomy, due to what I believe was breast implant Illness (BII). I have been struggling with my health, diagnosed autoimmune diseases, and a long list of other symptoms, since about a year after my first set of implants were put in. Took me a very long time, and many lost memories with family and friends due to feeling miserable, to finally put my health first over my outward appearance! Once I had my aha moment, the first thing I did was book a consult with Dr Bandy…I think because Dr Bandy is a women she is so much more empathetic and understanding then “other” doctors who tend to sugar coat the possible complications of implants in some women. She was honest, had positive stories to share of other explanat surgeries she had preformed which made even more convinced I was going to put my life in her delicate, perfectionist hands!! I was booked for my surgery for the following month! Admittedly I was nervous, but knowing she had already been in my body once before and my results were amazing, eased my anxiety a lot… I decided on a full capsulectomy (enbloc if everything was in tact), and a full lift.

The staff and nurses are always so sweet and genuinely interested in your happiness… The day of my surgery went super smooth, the anesthesiologist was so great, as well as OR nurses. My surgery took almost 4 hours, I woke up to my husband and a new lease on life! It’s been about 4 months since my explant surgery and I feel incredible!!

Dr Amy Bandy saved my life! My boobs look like a teenagers, you’d never know I had nursed a child, or had 3 surgeries on my breasts to date. I had almost no bruising, no drains needed, and was up the next day full of energy, I only took my pain meds for a day and a half. I was finally able to wear my wedding ring I haven’t been able to get on for a year, due to my hands being so inflamed and rash I would get! Im so happy, I wish I would have done this years ago, but this is my journey, and my story to tell… Dr Bandy and her staff are a huge party of my being able to regain my health, and my happiness, and hopefully make up for the years I lost being ill.

You probably don’t remember me, but in August of 2010 you performed my breast augmentation. You were the one doctor that I met with who truly understood my vision for my breasts and suggested an implant in the 600cc range (when other doctors had suggested 250-300cc max). Shortly after my surgery I became ill and was hospitalized and you came to check on me. You were amazing to me, and my breasts were exactly the way I envisioned they would be on my wedding day. My breasts are beautiful and I have loved them every day since you worked on them.

But the way that they look is not the reason that I’m writing to thank you. I vaguely remember that in one of our conversations before my surgery you asked if I planned on having children. At the time we had no plans of having children, so when you asked I sort of paused because I wasn’t sure why you were asking. Then you said that you would do something a little different if I were planning to breastfeed. We decided to leave it as an option.

Fast forward 5 years, and in July of 2015 I gave birth to a daughter. The pediatrician and the lactation consultant at the hospital told me that because of the type of breast surgery that I had, I would likely have to supplement with formula. They said that most women that had augmentation/ lifts where the nipple was removed, couldn’t produce enough milk to solely breastfeed a baby. At that point I was pretty devastated, but also very determined to do the best I could to breastfeed my baby. I definitely did not produce enough milk in the beginning and the baby wasn’t gaining weight, so I had to supplement for a little while with formula. But the lactation consultant also gave me a feeding/ pumping schedule to follow, as well as some supplements to take. Within 2 weeks I was able stop supplementing with formula and solely breastfeed. We are now just over a week away from 7 months of exclusively feeding breastmilk! Both my pediatrician and my lactation consultant said that I had an amazing plastic surgeon, and the lactation consultant even said that she thought it was the best work she had ever seen.

So, Dr. Bandy, I just wanted to send a note to say thank you. Thank you for doing such exceptional work on my breasts that I have been able to beat the odds and breastfeed my daughter for 7 months so far. You are awesome, my daughter and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come in on a Sunday night to fix me and make me look normal again. The hour that you spent will last a lifetime and stay with me forever. You illustrated what it truly means to be a doctor.

Thank You

I wanted to let you know that I am so impressed with my results – I am constantly getting compliments on my appearance. Thank you so much for the fabulous work you did. It has really given me the boost in my confidence that I needed. You and your staff are absolutely phenomenal.
I visited a total of seven (7) cosmetic doctors before coming to you and I chose your office for several reasons; your office was always clean and inviting, your employees were always professional and I felt the connection as well as a sincere concern with each of them.

Thank you for everything! You helped me more than words could ever express. My dream of looking better came about with your help! I’m so very happy with my results. You and your staff are a class act…Thank you for your support, strength and grace in helping me receive a dream come true!

Thanks so much Dr. Bandy! …you’re giving me a new lease on life…

Thank you for helping me feel better about myself. I now have a confidence that I’ve never had before! Thank you for your kind ways and changing my life.

I’ll never finish to thank you for what you have done to me, first with your wonderful work you did to my breast. I’m so happy..that surgery changed my life.

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job that you performed…

Thank you so much for the wonderful care and attention. I am told I look ten years younger!

With love and appreciation for the wonderful improvement you have done for me.

You are amazing! You have touched my life in a beautiful way I never thought possible. I am so grateful for my “two new best friends” – hee hee! I love them. You do beautiful work and I am so lucky to have had you for my doctor. All the girls were so gracious and treated me with such special care.

You are an asset to your profession. I am very happy with the results.

I want to say “Thanks” for doing such a wonderful job on my chin and neck.

I am very delighted with my surgery. I have to tell you how great I look, and I feel much better about myself. Thank you so much.

Thank you again for my new “twins” they are gorgeous, and thank you for taking such good care of me from day one. Your work is a masterpiece. Your staff is awesome. God Bless You All.

I want to thank you for all you have done for me. I was so disappointed with the results of my last surgery that I thought all hope was lost. I feel very fortunate to have found you because you have changed my life. I smile more already! Thank you for being trustworthy and honest. I want you to know I will always be grateful. I hope you know just how special of a doctor you are.

Thank you again from the bottom of my chin… – Hi Dr. Bandy,
Just had to say thank you again for the beautiful work and care you took to transform my ugly fat chin to a slimmer one. I feel so much better about myself now. I will surely tell my friends about you! Thanks again.

Thank you so much for being so good to me. You’ve made me feel like I was you only patient and that you had all the time in the world for my weird questions. I always look forward to my appointments.

I just wanted to thank you for everything. You are some of the nicest people I have ever met. You all made me feel really comfortable and safe. I’m happy that I got it done and that I got to meet you people. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I would like to show my appreciation to you for being such a caring person. You don’t only make me look good you also make me feel good! Thanks!

Every day while I am putting on my makeup and fixing my hair, I look into the mirror and think, I have got to put into writing what you have done for me. So here goes… I love the freedom my new and improved face gives me. I can get ready in a snap and go out into the world and put my best “face” forward. I feel like I look softer and happier without all the lines, especially since I no longer have that furrowed brow look.

I want to let you know how much I appreciate you and your great staff. Not only do you do beautiful work and possess a caring bedside manner, your genuine concern and the individual attention you give to your patients is something to be commended. From the first day of my consultation to the day I felt my last “twinge” of pain I never had any doubt I was receiving the very best care. And therefore in itself is a tremendous consolement for someone undergoing surgery for the 1st time! Thank you!

Thank you for making my life 3 cup sizes better! And being so kind while doing so!

I really thank you and your staff for such a wonderful job you have done. You and the staff have been sensitive and very helpful in every way. And WOW!! You did a great job. They’re beautiful.

…When my husband & I left her office we knew she was the one! We moved forward with Dr. Bandy on what I needed done (breast implants *big beautiful ones* & a lollipop lift). Dr. Bandy & her team have been there for me the whole way from the beginning & through all my post-op follow up visits.

The results of my breast implants & lift are amazing *I love my new twin girls* and so does my husband! I’m extremely happy with my experience & results, I feel confident & complete again. As time goes by and my healing continues I am more and more impressed with my outcome.

Dr. Bandy….my husband & I are convinced that we made the right choice to have you and your team perform my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Bandy to everyone….you will be happy you did.

I’m so thankful to have found you! I wanted rhinoplasty for a long time and you instantly made me feel so safe and welcome in your facility.
Thank you for being so caring and genuine and for listening to my concerns before working your magic on my nose and ears!
You truly do have a gift! Words can’t express the confidence you’ve given me!

many women of my age, 67, want explant and complete capsule removal for a healthy chest. My research led me to Dr. Amy Bandy. I chose her for her experience in this procedure. During our consultation I felt listened to and heard as well. My results are amazing. Dr. Bandy’s expertise resulted in a clear healthy chest, and a beautiful lift procedure. Dr. Bandy is my warrior princess. I was taken care of and cared for. Thank you Dr. and your professional and delightful staff for ensuring I am healthy.
