Specialized in Breast and Body Contouring

He believes that both men and women deserve to look and feel their best without losing their unique identity. With his keen artistic eye and meticulous attention to detail, Dr. Ravi helps patients feel confident in their enhanced appearance while maintaining a strong sense of self.

Elevated, Concierge-Level Care

Signature Procedures That Set Dr. Ravi Apart

The SMART Tummy Tuck

Dr. Ravi’s signature SMART Tummy Tuck is a true game-changer in abdominoplasty. This advanced technique addresses not only excess skin but also separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), stubborn fat, and poor core support. What truly sets his technique apart is the integration of high-definition abdominal liposuction, which cinches the waist and defines the upper abdomen for a sculpted, hourglass figure. To improve post-operative comfort and reduce the need for narcotics, Dr. Ravi also injects a long-acting, non-narcotic pain medication during surgery—helping patients recover more quickly and comfortably. His meticulous suturing techniques ensure that incisions remain low and flat, easily concealed by underwear or swimwear. And his creation of a natural-looking belly button—never artificial or “stuck on”—is one of his most recognized aesthetic signatures.

Rapid-Recovery Breast Augmentation

Unlike traditional breast augmentation, Dr. Ravi’s rapid-recovery protocol uses precise surgical techniques, specialized medications, and refined tissue handling to minimize bruising, pain, and downtime. Most patients are able to return to light activity within 24–48 hours and enjoy natural-feeling, beautifully proportioned results. Whether you’re restoring volume or enhancing your shape for the first time, Dr. Ravi customizes every procedure to suit your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.

Mommy Makeovers with a Personalized Touch

Dr. Ravi is especially known for his mommy makeover procedures, which are highly personalized combinations of breast and body surgeries to restore confidence after childbirth. He takes time to understand each patient’s post-pregnancy concerns—whether it’s loss of breast volume, abdominal laxity, or stubborn fat pockets—and designs a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and recovery timeline. His approach combines artistry and advanced technique, resulting in outcomes that look refreshed, not 'surgical.'

Expertise in Post-Weight Loss Surgery

After massive weight loss, excess skin can limit your mobility, irritate your skin, and prevent you from fully enjoying your transformation. Dr. Ravi has a strong passion for post-weight loss body contouring and has helped hundreds of patients achieve the final stage of their journey. Procedures such as circumferential body lifts, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and breast reshaping are tailored to your anatomy to reveal a more toned, confident physique.

Male Body Contouring

Men trust Dr. Ravi for discreet, effective body contouring procedures that highlight natural muscle definition and masculine proportions. From gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) to high-definition liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and chest, Dr. Ravi delivers results that look strong and athletic, never overdone.

What Real Patients Say

“After weight loss, I had loose skin and felt very self-conscious. Dr. Ravi not only gave me an incredible result, but also treated me with so much kindness. If you’re thinking about surgery, don’t go anywhere else.” — Eric W.
