Leading Scar Management Techniques
Minimizing scarring is a key focus of Dr. Ravi’s post-operative plan. He utilizes the latest in scar therapy—including medical-grade silicone and microneedling protocols—to ensure scars are as thin and inconspicuous as possible.
Nationally Recognized & Award-Winning
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.
