Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics offers a number of different cosmetic breast surgery options – each designed to produce specific results. The type of breast surgery that will be of most benefit to you is entirely dependent on factors unique to your desires, your natural anatomy, and your ultimate goals. 

The most effective way to determine which type of breast surgery is ideally suited for your needs is through a one-on-one consultation with breast specialist and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravi Somayazula. During this private and confidential consultation, Dr. Ravi will listen to your concerns and assess your frame to help you decide on the best solution. Having operated on thousands of patients to improve the appearance of their breasts, Dr. Ravi is well versed in the many types of breast cosmetic surgeries.

Types of Breast Surgery

Popular breast surgery options at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics include:

  • Breast Augmentation. The most popular plastic surgery procedure in the United States, breast enlargement with implants can help improve the size, shape, profile, and symmetry of the breasts. By taking precise scientific measurements, Dr. Ravi can customize the type of implants that your unique body requires.
  • Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation. With this option, fat is harvested from your own body, then purified prior to being used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This procedure utilizes liposuction for fat removal, giving it the dual benefit of breast enhancement and body contouring
  • Breast Lift. This procedure addresses sagging breast tissue and drooping nipple position. Breast Lift surgery helps lift and firm the breast mound, producing a perkier, healthier, and more youthful appearance. This can be performed at the same time as implant placement or with fat transfer.
  • Breast Reduction. Designed to eliminate the physical pain and emotional discomfort of excessively large breasts, reduction surgery can improve clothing options and range of motion while reducing pain from bra straps and cups, back strain, and similarly uncomfortable issues

Breast Implant Revision Surgery

In addition to primary breast augmentation procedures, Dr. Ravi offers breast implant revision surgery to replace deflated or otherwise unsatisfactory augmentation results. An experienced and respected plastic surgery, Dr. Ravi takes time to carefully plan and perform revisions, helping to ensure the least invasive procedure and the most pleasing results. Even if your breast augmentation was performed elsewhere, Dr. Ravi will work to correct and improve on your initial results to produce a look more in line with your desires.
