Facing breast cancer is an overwhelming journey—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. For many women, the experience of undergoing a lumpectomy or mastectomy is not only medically challenging. It can also profoundly impact their self-image. Dr. Jamie Zampell, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills with elite training in microsurgery and aesthetic reconstruction, understands this intimately. Her mission is to guide patients through the post-cancer healing process with compassion, artistry, and an unwavering commitment to restoring confidence.
Here’s how Dr. Zampell helps survivors take back ownership of their bodies and their lives.
A Personalized, Empowering Approach to Breast Reconstruction
Dr. Zampell believes that reconstruction is not just about physical restoration—it’s about empowering patients to feel whole again. Her expertise in autologous reconstruction, a technique that uses the patient’s own tissue to rebuild the breasts, enables her to achieve elegant, natural results that honor each woman’s body and vision. Each surgical plan reflects a deep understanding of the patient’s anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic vision.
She offers a range of advanced techniques to suit different needs:
- DIEP, SIEA, and PAP flaps for natural tissue reconstruction
- Implant-based reconstruction for select patients
- Fat grafting to enhance volume and contour
- Hybrid approaches combining implants with autologous tissue
Expertise in Lumpectomy and Oncoplastic Reconstruction
For women coping with the effects of lumpectomy and radiation, breast shape and symmetry can be significantly altered. To address this, Dr. Zampell uses refined lumpectomy reconstruction and oncoplastic techniques that restore a balanced, natural-looking breast contour.
Treatment strategies may include:
- TDAP or ICAP local flaps: To restore volume and shape using nearby tissue.
- Fat grafting: To smooth irregularities and improve contour.
- Breast reduction or lift: Performed during lumpectomy to enhance symmetry and aesthetics.
Her ability to perform breast reduction or lifting procedures during cancer removal (oncoplastic surgery) allows many patients to undergo cancer excision and cosmetic correction in a single session, minimizing recovery time and emotional strain.
What to Expect During the Reconstruction Journey
Choosing reconstruction is a significant decision, and Dr. Zampell ensures each step of the journey is met with clarity and care. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, her process is built around education, collaboration, and attentive support.

- A thorough, compassionate consultation focused on your goals, medical history, and options
- A customized surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic preferences

Dr. Zampell and her team prioritize not only surgical success but also emotional healing, offering an experience that is as supportive as it is sophisticated.
