Couldn't Have Chosen a Better Doctor for my Need.

Dr. Hardy cared for me recently. He was meticulous, proficient, and sincerely caring and available through the entire process. The outcome was excellent. I can't imagine having had any better care. And I would readily refer others (and have already) to him.

Photos Don't Do It Justice

Why did I wait so long?! This was the absolute best decision I could've made for myself with respect to my body! Dr Hardy and his team were professional, made recommendations and answered all of my questions. The only question that his staff would not answer is a time estimate on the surgery because "Dr Hardy is a perfectionist and sometimes perfection takes longer than estimates". I couldn't agree more!! I am almost 20 months out from my procedure and I am beyond thrilled with my appearance.

My surgery was painless and clean

Dr. Hardy and his team were professional and courteous. My surgery was painless and clean. He was cheaper than expected. I received several estimates from many plastic surgeons in their area. All I can say is I could not have chosen a better doctor.

Improved and accentuated my natural shape

Don’t walk…. Run…. Let me tell you Dr. Hardy not only has amazing bed side manner but he is professional and he understands the assignment! I did not want to travel out of town and I wanted a doctor that would keep my natural shape but get rid of my horrible, awful stomach( 2 c-sections and weight gain) and restore my body back to pre pregnancy. Dr.Hardy nailed it! I’m only one month post-op and my results are already stunning. My waist before surgery was 31in and I’m a little under 29 inches now. Mind you, I am still healing and have some swelling and brushing in a few places. I have followed all of his guidelines and I get my lymphatic massages from Chris at the beauty factory and it is making a world of difference. I’m 43 and turning heads like I’m 25 again. I get soo many compliments about my shape and I’m loving it (wait until I’m fully healed it’s going to be a hot Mama summer). My tummy tuck has improved and accentuated my natural shape 1000%. My breast look bigger and perky, my but looks bigger, my hips are popping. He created a brick house! Oh, and he does a great job on the belly button too. What are you waiting for? You better go get snatched. 100 out of 10 hands down. I am a PROUD Hardy DOLL.

In love with my body 1 year post-op Lipo 360 - results far exceeded expectations

I recently underwent a 360 liposuction procedure performed by the incredibly skilled Dr. James Hardy, and the results have far exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Hardy demonstrated a level of expertise, professionalism, and genuine care that truly sets him apart as a plastic surgeon. Not only is Dr. Hardy a consummate professional, but he also possesses an artistic eye that sets him apart in the field of plastic surgery. He understands the importance of achieving results that not only meet medical standards but also align with the unique desires and proportions of each patient. Please understand that the healing process is just that a PROCESS. Lipo360 literally take a year for all the swelling to go away. As of today I am 1 year post-op and the swelling went away last week. I love my results. Thank you Dr. Hardy

Breast Lift with Implants

Highly recommend his services to anyone considering these procedures

I could not be happier with my overall experience with Dr. Hardy. I am barely 3 weeks out from a bilateral mastopexy and augmentation (385cc 'gummy bear' implants) and I don't know why I waited this long for my new boobs. From the initial consultation, it was clear how knowledgeable Dr. Hardy is and he made me totally comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend his services to anyone considering these procedures!

I’m loving this New Body Thanks Dr. Hardy

Breast Augmentation

Rational909754

Magic & brilliant! Nobody believes my breasts are implants

I met Dr. Hardy in 2014. He immediately gave me his respect and caring when I requested a consultation for breast implants and buttock "rejuvenation". I was impressed by every aspect of his knowledge and desire to help me feel that he would do his very best to make an insecure feeling normal and ok to ask for, rather than silly and superficial. Nobody believes (including my mammogram tech until she saw the photos) that my breasts are implants. To this day, he automatically comes to mind when I consider procedures. Dr. James Hardy is a gift to Northeast Florida. Honestly there were times I wanted to keep him and his staff as my secret. But he deserves every compliment and accolade. And now I am receiving semaglutide injections from him because he is the only doctor I would trust with careful and achievable healthy weight loss. I am in my 2nd month and feel already like myself 10 years ago. He and his staff have made it clear that they are here for me. Isn't that what we all want? The best to care about us? I am forever in debt to the doctors who recommended Dr. James Hardy.

Mommy Makeover

Ljbean

Not even a full month out and I’m already just blown away

Doctor Hardy is amazing but it’s also his entire office staff and the surgical center he uses. Everyone from miss Becky in the front office to the anesthesiologist at the surgery center are kind and helpful and make you feel incredibly safe. I always feel safe, valued and respected. I had basically a fully mommy make over on July 25th 2023 and it’s not even a full month out and I’m already just blown away at my results and the recovery process. Yes it’s hard yes it’s scary but every day of my life is easier. I’m not spending an hour finding clothes that flatter me and hide my apron belly or cover my breasts enough for my taste, I can put on anything and look the way I imagine it’ll look on the hanger. I have so much more energy, my neck and shoulder pain is just gone, I have less headaches, I can move my body more effectively. Everything is easier and I’m not even fully recovered yet.

Breast Augmentation

Versatile236947

I have the fullness I described and the scars are perfectly hidden

I’ve wanted fuller breast for as long as I can remember. After breastfeeding my third kid, i knew it was just a matter of finding the right doctor. So just in time (9mos before) my 40th birthday I found Dr. Hardy. He was spoken highly of by people I trust. Every appointment has been pleasant. Even when walking into a PACKED waiting room, I was still able to be seen at my appointed time and by a very friendly staff. I’ve never felt rushed or like a “peg on a wheel”, Dr. Hardy answered any and every question I could throw at him. I am currently 9mos post and they are setting in quite nicely. I have the fullness I described and the scars are perfectly hidden. 100% satisfied with my decision.
