Reconstructive Microsurgery & Aesthetics
Beverly Hills | South Bay

I founded Zampell Plastic Surgery with the goal of refining reconstructive microsurgery in order to blend the practice of reconstruction with the art of aesthetic surgery. Choosing the best type of reconstruction is a personal decision, and should reflect your anatomy, your aesthetic sensibilities and your lifestyle. My goal is to provide comprehensive support and care to breast reconstruction and

aesthetic surgery clients, creating a customized plan of action for resolving their concerns. My passion for artistic excellence is a part of each phase of my professional process, from the moment you arrive for your first appointment to the compassionate follow-up you receive during your recovery.

When radiation is part of the breast reconstruction journey, timing matters. A common approach is:

→ Mastectomy + Tissue Expander or Implant
→ Wait 4–6 weeks
→ Radiation Therapy
→ Wait 3–6 months
→ Autologous Reconstruction
→ Wait 3–6 months
→ Revision Procedures as Necessary

Why use a tissue expander first? The expander acts as a placeholder, preserving the skin envelope and maintaining the breast footprint during radiation treatment. This helps protect the shape of the breast and creates a better foundation for the final reconstruction.

By delaying autologous reconstruction until after radiation, we can avoid exposing the final flap reconstruction to radiation-related changes that may affect long-term aesthetic outcomes.

Every patient’s timeline is unique, but thoughtful staging can help optimize both healing and results. Call us at 310-620-8750 for an in-person or virtual consultation to learn what reconstruction timeline may be right for you.

This patient underwent a hybrid reconstruction that started with tissue expanders after her bilateral mastectomy, then converted to a DIEP flap using her own abdominal tissue to create about two-thirds of the breast volume. A small implant was added beneath the flap for projection and shape, and we refined everything in a final stage with fat grafting. The result is soft, natural, and moves with her body. Every patient's anatomy and goals are different, and I love being able to offer solutions as individual as they are.

If you're exploring reconstruction options after mastectomy, I'd love to talk through what might be right for you. Call for an in-person or virtual consultation at 310-620-8750.

A lumbar flap is a type of breast reconstruction that uses skin and fat from the lower back, specifically the “love handle” or flank area, to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy.

The tissue is carefully removed along with its blood vessels and transferred to the chest using microsurgery, where the blood supply is reconnected under a microscope. Because it uses your own tissue, a lumbar flap provides a soft, natural reconstruction.

This technique can be a great option for certain patients, especially those who:
→ Are very thin
→ Have had previous tummy surgeries
→ Don’t have enough abdominal tissue for a DIEP flap

→ Want to avoid implants

Every patient’s anatomy is different, which is why understanding all available donor sites is so important in breast reconstruction planning. To learn more about your options, call us for an in-person or virtual consultation at 310-620-8750.

When patients choose to use their own tissue for breast reconstruction, my goal is to create a reconstruction that is uniquely tailored to their anatomy, lifestyle, and goals.

Perforator flap techniques allow me to transfer skin and fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or back while preserving the underlying muscle whenever possible. This muscle-sparing approach helps maintain strength and function at the donor site while providing natural tissue for reconstruction.

There is no single "best" flap for every patient. Whether it's a DIEP, PAP, SGAP, LAP, TDAP, or another perforator flap, each option serves a different purpose. My job is to identify the approach that best fits your body and reconstructive needs.

The most successful reconstruction is one that is designed specifically for you. If you've been considering autologous reconstruction, I'd love to discuss your options. Call us at 310-620-8750 for an in-person or virtual consultation.

Autologous breast reconstruction isn’t new, but it is more specialized, and not every surgeon offers it.

Because of that, many patients aren’t fully informed about it when they’re first exploring breast reconstruction options, and may not realize there are alternatives beyond the implant-based reconstruction that is most commonly presented.

The goal isn’t to push one approach over another, it’s to ensure you have a clear understanding of what’s available. When you have that knowledge, you’re in a much stronger position to choose what aligns best with your body and your goals.

If you’re exploring breast reconstruction, take the time to ask questions and make sure you’re seeing the full picture. In my practice, I focus on helping patients understand all of their options so they can make the decision that feels right for them.

In my practice, every patient is guided with expertise, warmth, and personalized attention from start to finish. I specialize in autologous breast reconstruction, helping breast cancer patients restore confidence with results tailored to their unique journey. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered, informed, and cared for through every step of your journey.

If you’re ready to learn more about your options, I invite you to schedule a consultation by calling 310-620-8750.

For many breast cancer patients, reconstruction is about more than healing. It’s about reclaiming identity, confidence, and self, and I’m honored to be a part of their stories. 💕
