Considering a Breast Augmentation in Houston? Here’s What You Need to Know About Implants, Fat Transfer, and Lifts

Breast enhancement is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the country—and it’s also one of the most customizable. Whether you’re looking for fuller volume, better shape, or a lifted, more youthful appearance, there’s more than one way to achieve your ideal results.

At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, Dr. Ravi Somayazula is a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston who specializes in natural, customized breast surgery. From breast augmentation with implants, to fat transfer to the breasts, to breast lifts, Dr. Ravi tailors each procedure to your unique body, goals, and lifestyle.

Your Breast Enhancement Options

If you’re researching breast surgery, you’ve probably seen multiple terms—augmentation, lift, fat grafting, implants—but which one is right for you?

Here’s a breakdown of the three most common options we offer:

Breast Augmentation with Implants

Best for: Patients who want to increase breast volume and projection

Breast augmentation using silicone or saline implants remains the most effective and reliable way to increase breast size. With modern implant options like Motiva implants, patients in Houston are getting softer, more natural-looking results than ever before.

What to consider:

• Wide range of implant shapes, sizes, and profiles
• Customizable to your chest width, skin elasticity, and goals
• Can be placed over or under the muscle depending on anatomy
• Recovery is typically 1–2 weeks
• Long-lasting, safe, and effective

Implants are ideal for patients with minimal sagging who want a fuller cup size or more balanced proportions.

Fat Transfer to the Breasts

Best for: Patients who want a modest, natural enhancement without implants

Fat transfer uses liposuction to remove fat from one area of the body—usually the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—and carefully injects it into the breasts. This approach gives subtle volume and improved shape using your own natural tissue.

Benefits of fat transfer:

• No implants or foreign materials
• Dual benefit: body contouring + breast enhancement
• Natural look and feel
• No large incisions or implant-related maintenance

This is a great option for patients who want a small size increase or have mild asymmetry they’d like corrected.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Best for: Patients with sagging breasts, volume loss, or downward-pointing nipples

A breast lift doesn’t change the size of your breasts, but it significantly improves shape and position by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and breast tissue. This procedure is ideal for women who have experienced changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.

Why patients choose a lift:

• Restores a youthful, lifted breast shape
• Improves nipple position and firmness
• Can be combined with implants or fat transfer if volume is also needed
• Helps clothing and bras fit more comfortably

During your consultation, Dr. Ravi will help determine whether a lift alone or a lift with volume enhancement is right for you.

How to Choose the Right Option for You

Every patient is unique, and the best results come from a personalized plan. During your consultation with Dr. Ravi, we’ll evaluate:

• Your natural breast shape and volume
• Skin elasticity and degree of sagging
• Nipple position and breast symmetry
• Your aesthetic goals—size, fullness, projection, and natural feel
• Whether you prefer implants or a natural approach

Some patients benefit from a lift + implant combination, while others may prefer a standalone augmentation or fat transfer. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution—and that’s a good thing.
