When patients come to Dr. Zamani for breast augmentation, one of the questions she hears most is: how do you actually choose the right implant, when there are hundreds of options out there?
It’s a fair question. Implant selection isn’t about picking a popular size off a shelf — it’s about matching an implant to two things: your anatomy and your unique goals.

The result you loved on another person came from their body, not yours. The […]
One of the most important — and most misunderstood — decisions in breast augmentation isn’t the implant itself, but where it’s placed.

In reality, there is no universally superior approach. The best technique depends on your anatomy, your goals, and your surgeon’s experience.
At her Beverly Hills practice, dual board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Maryam Zamani believes that every labiaplasty should be customized to the individual patient.

Many women are surprised to learn that labiaplasty usually does not require general anesthesia. In fact, for most patients having labiaplasty as a standalone procedure, local anesthesia provides excellent pain control while avoiding many of the side effects associated with being put completely to sleep.
At her Beverly Hills practice, dual board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Maryam Zamani, certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, typically performs standalone awake labiaplasty under local anesthesia.
