Pregnancy, weight loss, and time can change not only the volume of the breasts, but also their position and support. Many women find that while implants can restore fullness, they do not fully address sagging, while a lift alone may improve position, but not restore lost volume.
A breast augmentation with lift (augmentation-mastopexy) combines both: restoring fullness while reshaping and elevating the breast for a more youthful, supported, and naturally proportioned result.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravi Somayazula, with over 15 years of private practice experience and more than 1,000+ breast lift procedures performed, specializes in advanced cosmetic and revision breast surgery. His approach focuses on creating results that look refined and natural, while incorporating techniques designed to support how the breast will look and age over time.
Patients travel from across Houston, Memorial, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, and surrounding communities seeking this level of precision, personalization, and care.
Meet with Dr. Ravi to determine whether a breast augmentation, lift, or combination approach is right for you, and receive a treatment plan designed specifically for your anatomy and goals.
Many women considering breast enhancement are unsure whether they need breast implants, a breast lift, or both. While these procedures are often discussed together, they address very different concerns.
A breast augmentation with lift combines both, making it the ideal solution for women who want to restore fullness and correct sagging in a single, carefully planned procedure.
In his consultation process, Dr. Ravi evaluates:
This allows him to determine whether a lift, implants, or a combination will create the most natural and balanced outcome.
The goal is not simply to make the breasts larger, but to create a result that is proportionate, supported, and aligned with your overall silhouette.
Why Do Women Choose Dr. Ravi for Breast Augmentation with Lift?
Breast augmentation with lift is one of the most technically demanding procedures in aesthetic surgery, requiring not only the ability to enhance volume, but to reshape, support, and create balance that looks natural both immediately and over time.
Dr. Ravi Somayazula is a board-certified plastic surgeon, Harvard-trained, and an active member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS). With over 15 years in private practice, he has performed thousands of breast procedures, including more than 1,000+ breast lifts. He cares for patients seeking everything from subtle, natural enhancement to more comprehensive transformation after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
In addition, his experience includes revision and more complex cases, where achieving both refined shape and long-term support requires a higher level of surgical judgment. This depth of experience informs every procedure he performs, allowing for results that are thoughtfully designed and beautifully balanced.
He is also recognized as a nationally respected contributor within the field of aesthetic surgery, having been invited to write and share expertise among his peers, reflecting both his experience and his commitment to advancing surgical technique.
What sets his approach apart is not just technical skill, but a deep understanding of how breast shape, support, and proportion work together to create results that feel balanced, natural, and long-lasting.
One of the most important parts of this journey is the consultation.
Dr. Ravi takes a highly individualized approach, beginning with a detailed understanding of what you are hoping to achieve—not just in terms of size, but overall shape, proportion, and how you want to feel in your body.
Many patients find it helpful to bring wish photos, which serve as a starting point for discussion. From there, Dr. Ravi evaluates your anatomy, skin quality, and existing breast tissue to determine whether a lift, implants, or a combination of both will best achieve your goals.
When implants are part of the plan:
This level of customization allows for a result that feels intentional—not standardized.
Breast augmentation with lift is one of the most technically nuanced procedures in cosmetic surgery—requiring careful balance between volume, lift, and long-term support.
Dr. Ravi’s approach to breast augmentation with lift is defined by precision, experience, and a focus on long-term results:
Dr. Ravi’s focus is not only on achieving a beautiful immediate result, but on creating a breast shape that remains balanced, supported, and natural as your body evolves over time.
“The biggest challenge with augmentation and lift is not just creating a beautiful result, but maintaining it over time. The breast skin is not meant to carry weight alone. That’s why I often incorporate internal support techniques. By creating a foundation beneath the breast, we reduce stress on the skin and allow the results to hold their shape longer.”

What Type of Breast Lift Incision Will I Need?
For many women, this is one of the most important questions:
“What will my scars look like?”
It’s completely understandable. For some patients, the concern about scarring is significant enough that they hesitate to move forward, wondering if it’s better to live with their current shape than trade it for visible scars.
Dr. Ravi approaches this very thoughtfully.
His goal is always to use only the incisions that are truly necessary, nothing more, while still achieving a beautifully lifted, balanced result. Choosing too few incisions can compromise shape, while choosing the right approach allows the breast to be properly supported and positioned.
Equally important is how those incisions are managed, both during surgery and throughout healing.
Dr. Ravi utilizes precision, multi-layered closure techniques designed to reduce tension on the skin, and in many cases incorporates Brijit, a tension-reduction system that helps support optimal scar healing from the very beginning.
After surgery, patients are guided through a comprehensive scar care process, including silicone-based therapies and advanced treatments through RISE Med Spa, such as microneedling, to further refine texture and appearance over time.
For many patients, as healing progresses, scars soften and fade significantly, often becoming faint and difficult to notice by the one-year mark.
The specific incision pattern depends on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and the degree of lift required.
Dr. Ravi’s focus is always to achieve the best possible shape using the least amount of scarring necessary, while ensuring that scars heal as discreetly and gracefully as possible over time.
Also known as a Benelli mastopexy, this technique involves an incision around the areola only.
This technique includes an incision around the areola and a vertical line down to the breast crease.
This technique includes an incision around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the breast crease.
For many women, one of the biggest concerns before surgery isn’t just the result, it’s the recovery.
At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery, recovery is not an afterthought, it is thoughtfully designed as part of your surgical experience.
Dr. Ravi has developed an Enhanced Recovery Protocol that prioritizes comfort, safety, and a smoother return to daily life. During surgery, he uses Exparel®, a long-acting anesthetic that provides targeted pain relief for up to 72 hours, allowing most patients to wake up with significantly less discomfort than expected.
Because pain is controlled at the source:
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how quickly they are able to return to light daily activities, often within 7 to 10 days.
This is not just about getting through recovery. It’s about feeling supported, cared for, and confident every step of the way.
One of the most rewarding aspects of a breast augmentation with lift is seeing how the results evolve.
Immediately after surgery, you will notice a lifted, fuller shape, but in the early weeks, it’s normal for the breasts to feel firm, slightly elevated, and not yet fully settled.
As your body heals, everything begins to soften and take on a more natural appearance.
This gradual transformation is part of the process, and part of what allows the results to feel so authentically you.
A beautifully performed breast augmentation with lift is designed to last, but like all things, your body will continue to evolve over time.
At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery, we view your results as a long-term partnership.
Simple, thoughtful habits can help preserve your outcome:
Regular follow-ups with Dr. Ravi allow for continued guidance and reassurance as your results mature.
Because this isn’t just about surgery. It’s about helping you feel confident in your body for years to come.
This is one of the most common questions, and the answer depends on your anatomy and goals.
If your primary concern is loss of volume, implants alone may be appropriate. If your concern is sagging or a lowered breast position, a lift may be needed.
However, many women experience both volume loss and sagging, especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. In these cases, a breast augmentation with lift allows for a more complete, balanced result.
During your consultation, Dr. Ravi evaluates breast position, skin quality, and tissue distribution to determine the most appropriate approach for you.
It’s completely normal to be concerned about scarring, and this is something Dr. Ravi takes seriously from the very beginning.
The type of incision depends on how much lift is needed, but the goal is always to use the least amount of scarring necessary to achieve a beautiful shape.
Equally important is how scars are managed. Dr. Ravi uses precision closure techniques and tension-reduction strategies, and patients are guided through a comprehensive scar care process, including silicone therapy and advanced treatments through RISE Med Spa.
Over time, scars typically fade and soften significantly, often becoming faint and much less noticeable by one year.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised that recovery is more comfortable than expected.
Dr. Ravi uses an Enhanced Recovery Protocol, including long-acting anesthetic (Exparel®), to provide targeted pain relief for up to 72 hours after surgery.
Because discomfort is well controlled:
Most patients return to light daily activities within 7–10 days, with lifting restrictions for about 6 weeks.
This procedure is designed to create results that are long-lasting and natural in appearance, but your body will continue to change over time.
Dr. Ravi focuses on long-term outcomes by:
While no surgery can stop the aging process, these strategies help results maintain their shape and position for many years.
One of Dr. Ravi’s primary goals is to create results that look natural, balanced, and in harmony with your body.
This includes:
Most patients feel that they look like a more refreshed, confident version of themselves—not overdone or artificial.

It is often combined with procedures such as:
Because Dr. Ravi is highly experienced in body contouring procedures, he is able to design a plan that considers your entire silhouette, not just one area.
Choosing implant size is a collaborative process.
During your consultation:
In many cases, a selection of implants is brought into the operating room to allow for final adjustments during surgery, ensuring the most balanced and natural result.
You may be a good candidate if you:
The best way to determine candidacy is through a personalized consultation, where Dr. Ravi can assess your anatomy and discuss your goals in detail.
Yes, this is considered one of the more technically demanding breast procedures because it requires balancing volume, lift, and long-term support at the same time.
Implants alone add fullness, while a lift reshapes and repositions the breast. Combining both requires careful planning to ensure the result looks natural and maintains its shape over time.
This is why surgeon experience and technique play such an important role in achieving a balanced, long-lasting outcome. With over 15 years of experience and more than 1,000 breast lifts performed, Dr. Ravi approaches this procedure with a level of planning and precision designed to support both immediate and long-term results.
Choosing a surgeon for this procedure is about more than credentials, it’s about experience with both breast shaping and long-term support techniques.
You should look for a surgeon who:
This procedure requires both technical precision and aesthetic judgment, which is why many patients prioritize experience when making their decision.
Combining both procedures allows for a more complete transformation in a single surgery, restoring both volume and position at the same time.
It also means:
For many patients, combining the procedures provides the most natural and harmonious outcome.
For many women, the changes in breast shape and position after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging can feel significant.
A breast augmentation with lift is designed not just to restore volume and shape, but to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body again.
Patients often share that their results feel like a return to a version of themselves that feels more aligned, balanced, and confident.
This procedure is typically performed in a private, accredited surgical facility and takes from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the surgical plan.
At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery, all procedures are performed at Houston Plastic Surgery Center, a nationally accredited QuadA surgical center, with board-certified physician anesthesiologists and a highly experienced surgical team.
