Dr. Jamie Zampell is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in reconstructive microsurgery and aesthetic procedures. She believes every patient is unique and customizes her approach to align with individual goals and needs. By combining the precision of reconstruction with the artistry of cosmetic surgery, she strives to deliver outstanding, natural-looking outcomes.
Dr. Zampell is dedicated to helping patients achieve their cosmetic aspirations and offering an exceptional experience. As a trusted female cosmetic surgeon in Beverly Hills, she combines technical expertise with a compassionate approach to patient care. It is essential to bear in mind that while possessing a wealth of expertise and experience is a prerequisite, the human connection you establish with your surgeon is equally invaluable. Breast reconstruction is a big step, and you deserve support and understanding from a surgeon who will guide you through every part of the process.
Dr. Zampell’s passion for excellence in plastic surgical outcomes is rooted in her desire to bridge art and science. Although offered a full scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design, she pursued undergraduate studies at Emory University where she immersed herself in pre-medical studies and performed extensive scientific research in tumor immunology. She graduated summa cum laude in biology and went on to pursue her medical degree at Ohio State University.
Her unique background in both art and science continues to shape her approach to plastic surgery, allowing her to create natural, harmonious results tailored to each individual. This fusion of creativity and clinical precision is what sets Dr. Zampell apart and drives her commitment to delivering the highest level of care and aesthetic excellence.
Following medical school, Dr. Zampell completed residency training in plastic surgery at New York University’s Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. It was during this training that she began to merge the practice of surgical excellence with mindful attention to aesthetic ideals.
During her residency, she continued basic science and clinical research, including completion of a three year dedicated research fellowship in lymphedema pathophysiology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York where she obtained competitive grant funding from the Department of Defense and Plastic Surgery Education Foundation for breast cancer and lymphedema research. After finishing residency and research fellowship, she then completed a microsurgery fellowship at the University of California in Los Angeles.
Dr. Zampell practiced in New Orleans with her mentor and pioneer of natural tissue breast reconstruction, Dr. Robert Allen, where she directed Ochsner Medical Center’s Center for Breast Reconstruction and served as program director for the Ochsner-LSU microsurgery fellowship.
In these roles, she worked to advance new methods and broaden the scope of natural tissue breast reconstruction and lymphedema treatment and prevention. She has lectured and published extensively in academic plastic surgery and oncologic journals*. Most recently, Dr. Zampell returned to Beverly Hills to grow her practice of comprehensive breast reconstruction. She continues her commitment to resident education in complex reconstruction by practicing under the University of California in Los Angeles plastic surgery division at the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration.
Board certification is one of the most important indicators of a plastic surgeon’s training, experience, and commitment to patient safety. Surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, have completed extensive medical education and rigorous, supervised training in both reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery.
To earn this credential, surgeons must meet strict eligibility standards and successfully complete a comprehensive oral examination evaluating surgical judgment, technical skill, ethics, and patient safety. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Zampell means placing your care in the hands of a physician who meets the highest professional standards and is dedicated to delivering safe, ethical, and high-quality results you can trust.
Dr. Zampell is fantastic! I went to her for a breast reduction and she worked with me and helped me every step of the way, from appealing to my insurance to cover it to checking on me post-surgery. I'm so happy with my results too! I went down 4 sizes and am very happy with my new, light-weighted breasts. I can't recommend her enough.
