Dr. Amy Bandy Breast Reconstruction Procedure Before and After

Dr. Amy Bandy Breast Reconstruction

Dr. Amy T. Bandy is the leading plastic surgeon in Southern California.  Please contact her office today for a friendly consultation.

Breast reconstruction surgery has many indications and even more surgical options than ever before.  Women with noticeably asymmetric breasts may have a condition known as Poland’s syndrome.  This condition has a variety of presentations, which may only be manifested by breast size discrepancy to total absence of the pectoralis muscle behind the breast.   In its severe form, hand anomalies will also be present.  Depending on the size of each breast and the breast shape, the options vary from augmenting the smaller breast either with an implant or the patient’s own tissue, or reducing the larger breast to match the smaller one, or a combination of both.  This is covered in most instances by insurance plans.  For women who have had removal of all or part of their breast due to cancer, several options are available to reconstruct a “new” breast, including the nipple areola.

In addition to the current offices, Dr. Amy Bandy’s offices may one day expand to Hermosa Beach or Redondo Beach.
