What is a
Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the volume, shape, and symmetry of the breasts through the placement of silicone gel or saline breast implants. It is often sought to restore breast fullness lost due to breastfeeding, weight fluctuation, or aging, to correct unevenness, or simply to bring the body into more harmonious proportions. Renowned for her refined aesthetic and advanced surgical technique, Dr. Zamani approaches breast augmentation with precision and artistry—thoughtfully selecting implant type, size, and placement to create beautifully balanced results that align with each patient’s unique vision and natural form.

Steps of Selecting Your Implants

Implant Size and Shape

Selecting the ideal implant size and shape is one of the most important aspects of the breast augmentation journey—and one to which Dr. Zamani devotes exceptional time and care. With a thoughtful and individualized approach, she begins by taking precise measurements to determine implant dimensions that are proportional to your body and respectful of your unique anatomy. Because every patient is different, Dr. Zamani ensures that the chosen implant complements your natural form while aligning with your personal aesthetic goals.

To support this process, you are encouraged to share inspirational photos, which help articulate your vision and guide the overall direction of your result. Based on your anatomy and preferences, Dr. Zamani will curate a personalized selection of implants for you to try on in-office using implant sizers within a bra—allowing you to see and feel the possibilities. In some cases, virtual simulation may also be offered to help you visualize your potential outcome with greater clarity. By combining detailed measurements, your aesthetic preferences, in-office sizing, and state-of-the-art imaging, Dr. Zamani carefully refines the implant selection process to achieve a result that feels tailored and uniquely yours.

Type of Implant

Dr. Zamani offers two types of breast implants: cohesive silicone gel—commonly known as “gummy bear” implants—and traditional saline implants.

Cohesive Gel Silicone Implants (“Gummy Bear” Implants):

These advanced implants are known for their soft, natural feel and their ability to maintain shape over time. Their form-stable consistency allows for precise customization in both size and contour, making them ideal for patients seeking upper-cleavage fullness, a sculpted silhouette, or implant placement above the muscle—particularly in those with a slender or petite frame. Due to their cohesive gel structure, the silicone does not leak in the event of an implant rupture, much like the inside of a gummy bear once bitten into, hence their nickname. This cohesive gel feature also reduces the risk of visible rippling or irregularities, contributing to a smooth and natural-appearing aesthetic result.

Saline implants:

Saline implants have silicone shells that are filled with a sterile saltwater solution similar to the natural fluids found in the body. The implants are inserted into the body while empty and gradually filled with saline until the breast achieves the desired volume and shape. Saline implants remain a safe and effective option, especially for those who prefer a slightly firmer feel, have breast tissue fullness to begin with, or prefer saline implants.

Implant Placement

Breast implants can be placed below or above the pectoral muscle (submuscular/ subpectoral). Each position has certain functional or aesthetic advantages. Dr. Zamani will determine the best placement based on your body, implant selection, and lifestyle goals.

Traditionally, saline and silicone breast implants have been placed below the muscle to provide additional cover and camouflage to the implant. While this added layer remains important when using saline implants where there is a higher possibility of visible implant rippling and in very petite patients who have thin breast tissue, the benefits of subpectoral placement for silicone implants was more profound for older generation implants, which lacked cohesivity and the advancements that the newest generation implants offer.

A modern and advanced technique involves placement of the cohesive gel silicone implant beneath the casing layer of the pectoral muscle (the “fascia”) but above the muscle itself. The fascia acts as a natural supportive layer to hold the position of the implant while imparting a natural shape and feel to the breast. Since the muscle is left intact, it is an ideal option for active and athletic patients who do not want to modify their activities and lifestyle and altogether avoid the risk of implant movement with muscle flexion (“animation deformity”). Due to the less invasive nature of the surgery, subfascial breast augmentation offers rapid 24-hour recovery with minimal discomfort. 

The subfascial pocket differs from the subglandular pocket used decades ago, where the implant was placed directly beneath the breast gland tissue and completely above the muscle and fascia. The subglandular pocket lacks the benefits of improved breast shape, implant stability, and reduced risk of capsular contracture offered by the fascia coverage in subfascial placement.

Incision Placement

Breast implants are typically placed through a small, inconspicuous incision under the breast fold, hidden in the body’s natural shadows and creases. This inframammary approach offers the safest implant placement, minimizing the likelihood of early or long-term complications, and is optimal for fine-tuned implant techniques to enhance outcomes. In select cases, the incision may be made in the areola or armpit.

What are the
benefits of
Breast Augmentation?

Undergoing a breast augmentation is a personal decision, and Dr. Zamani’s goal is to use surgery to deliver the best version of you. Many of her patients in Beverly Hills and the greater Los Angeles area have chosen breast augmentations for the following benefits:

  • Breasts that are proportional to the body
  • Correcting the symmetry between breasts
  • Restoring volume loss due to aging, breastfeeding, or lifestyle changes
  • Improving cleavage and breast fullness
  • Enhancing self-esteem and confidence!

Who are the
best candidates
for a Breast Augmentation?

Dr. Zamani understands that breast augmentation is a personal decision. You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:

  • Are in good overall physical and emotional health
  • Are a non-smoker (or willing to completely stop for 6 weeks prior to surgery and during recovery)
  • Have realistic expectations based on your body type and anatomy
  • Desire fuller breasts or more balanced proportions
  • Have naturally small breasts or have lost volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • Notable asymmetry between your breasts
  • Wish to enhance confidence and comfort in your appearance

What’s the
first step?

Dr. Zamani takes a thoughtful, holistic approach to plastic surgery, ensuring that each patient receives care that is truly personalized to their unique goals, body, and lifestyle. If you’re considering breast augmentation, your experience will begin with a one-on-one consultation at her boutique Beverly Hills practice—where you’ll meet directly with Dr. Zamani. She personally guides every step of the process, so your care is never delegated to consultants or other providers.

During your consultation, you’ll have the chance to openly discuss your goals, whether it’s restoring volume, enhancing symmetry, or simply feeling more confident in your figure. You’re welcome to bring inspiration photos to help communicate your ideal look. Dr. Zamani will take detailed measurements, walk you through different implant options, and invite you to try on implant sizers so you can see and feel what suits you best. Based on your unique proportions and goals, Dr. Zamani will recommend the implant type, size, and surgical approach best suited to achieving natural and beautifully balanced results.

Once your aesthetic plan is finalized, our patient care team member will assist you in scheduling your procedure and preparing for the exciting journey ahead!

Preparing for Surgery

Preparing for breast augmentation surgery involves a few important steps to ensure a smooth and successful procedure. Dr. Zamani will provide you with pre-operative instructions, which may include stopping certain medications, such as blood thinners or supplements, that can increase the risk of bleeding. You’ll be advised to avoid smoking and alcohol for several weeks before the surgery to promote better healing.

It’s essential to arrange for a trusted friend or family member to accompany you on the day of the surgery, as you’ll need assistance getting home after the procedure. Dr. Zamani will discuss your goals and confirm the implant size and placement, ensuring that you are comfortable with your surgical plan. She may also provide specific instructions on eating or drinking before surgery and any other necessary steps to optimize your health and recovery.

Following these guidelines will help minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcome from your breast augmentation.

What to expect on the Day of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Prior to your surgery, Dr. Zamani will meet with you to review your surgical plan and answer any outstanding questions you might have about your breast augmentation. She values patients’ well-informed and comfortable feelings before undergoing any elective surgical procedure.

When you are ready, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia and be present for the entire duration of your procedure. Dr. Zamani will then make the incisions and insert the selected implants into your breast tissue. The surgery may take approximately one to two hours.

Breast augmentation is an outpatient surgery, so you can return home the same day you receive your procedure. Please arrange for a trusted friend or relative to help transport you home and assist with basic tasks following your surgery.

Breast Augmentation
recovery

Once the anesthesia has worn off, patients may experience mild discomfort or tightness as their breasts adjust to the implants. During this time, you will be provided with a surgical bra to reduce swelling and provide comfortable support to the breasts. Dr. Zamani recommends taking at least 2 to 3 days off of work or household duties in order to recuperate properly and at least four weeks of rest before resuming physical exercise.

3 Tips for Recovery

  1. Following Dr. Zamani’s post-operative instructions is essential for optimal healing after your Beverly Hills breast augmentation. These include taking prescribed medications to manage pain and prevent infection, wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support implant positioning, and avoiding strenuous activity for at least four weeks. 

2. Swelling and bruising are common but will subside over time. Contact Dr. Zamani if you notice excessive swelling or unusual pain. Sleep with your head elevated to manage swelling, and avoid sudden movements or lifting heavy objects. Stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and refrain from smoking or drinking. 

3. Be patient with your body and trust in the healing process– your final results will take shape gradually, and the outcome will be worth the wait!
