In Dr. Michael Zarrabi's own words

How Dr. Michael Zarrabi describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • The practice establishes its own rules and guidelines for patient care.
  • And oftentimes I recommend downsizing the implant so there's less stretching
  • Dr. Zarrabi's approach to lifts involves reshaping the breast's architecture.
  • But sometimes the goal of plastic surgery is to create that symmetry

Specialization

  • I'm Dr. Zirabi, board certified plastic surgeon here in Beverly Hills
  • The doctor is a liposuction specialist.

Technique

  • Motiva implants now allow us to place silicone implants either on top of the muscle or behind the muscle
  • We are going to do bilateral breast lift surgery using my signature auto-augmentation
  • We're gonna do some lipo and contouring, add that fat back to the breast to help enhance the upper pole

Consultation

  • If you’re tired of compromises and ready for results that feel architectural rather than augmented, I’d be happy to show you what’s possible in a consultation

About

Dr. Michael Zarrabi is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Beverly Hills, California. He specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, offering procedures such as breast reduction, eyelid surgery, tummy tucks, and is a liposuction specialist. Dr. Zarrabi's philosophy centers on regenerative aesthetics, moving beyond merely filling space. His practice establishes its own rules and guidelines to ensure truly tailored patient care. For breast lifts, he focuses on reshaping the breast's architecture, and with auto augmentation, he repositions a patient's own tissue to rebuild natural upper pole fullness and projection, creating a timeless contour without artificial roundness or maintenance. He also offers Alloclae fat transfer, an option to rebuild soft tissue and volume without surgical fat harvest or a donor site. Dr. Zarrabi notes evolving breast implant techniques, including the option for over-the-muscle placement, sometimes preferred, thanks to Motiva implants. He addresses complex cases like symmastia by rebuilding internal support. Patients seeking architectural results and a "chore-free" post-operative period are encouraged to consult.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael Zarrabi

Sourced directly from Dr. Michael Zarrabi's social posts and replies.

How does Dr. Zarrabi approach fixing symmastia ('uniboob')?
Dr. Zarrabi emphasizes that fixing symmastia is not as simple as merely replacing implants. The essential work involves rebuilding the internal support within the implant pocket to keep implants separated. These cases require advanced revision techniques.
What are the benefits of a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) with Dr. Zarrabi?
A Tummy Tuck performed by Dr. Zarrabi can correct excess skin laxity and muscle separation, leading to a rejuvenated appearance where abdominal muscles can show through and the tummy looks brand new.
What is Dr. Zarrabi's perspective on breast implant placement techniques?
Dr. Zarrabi notes that breast implant techniques are evolving. While placing implants under the muscle was once considered the gold standard, the availability of implants like Motiva has led to changes. Placing implants over the muscle is now an available option and can be preferred in some cases.
What is Dr. Zarrabi's approach to Auto Augmentation?
Dr. Zarrabi's approach to lifts, including auto augmentation, involves reshaping the breast's architecture, rather than just moving skin. Auto augmentation uses the patient's own breast tissue, repositioned to rebuild natural upper pole fullness and projection. This technique aims for a timeless contour that belongs to the patient, without artificial roundness or requiring maintenance.
Who is a suitable candidate for a consultation with Dr. Zarrabi regarding breast procedures?
Patients who are tired of compromises and ready for results that feel architectural rather than augmented are suitable candidates for a consultation. Dr. Zarrabi is happy to demonstrate what is possible with his approach during a consultation.
What is Alloclae fat transfer and how does it differ from traditional fat transfer?
Traditionally, restoring volume with fat meant harvesting it from the patient's own body. Dr. Zarrabi now offers Alloclae fat transfer as an alternative. Alloclae fat can be injected to help rebuild soft tissue and volume without requiring liposuction, a donor site, or surgical fat harvest.
What is Dr. Zarrabi's recommendation for the post-operative period?
Dr. Zarrabi emphasizes that the post-operative period should be 'chore-free' for patients.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$155

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Michael Zarrabi received $155 across 3 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
