The Best in Body Sculpting

High-Definition Liposuction in Houston, TX

Even with a healthy lifestyle, excess, hard-to-lose fat can become stored in the body, compromising the aesthetic quality of your contours. High-definition liposuction, the most precise and effective form of permanent fat reduction, eliminates fat from targeted areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and virtually any area of the body. An advanced iteration of traditional liposuction, high-definition liposuction liquefies fat before removing it to create smooth, impeccably natural results.

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that involves lifting the position of the breasts on the chest wall for a more youthful appearance. In addition to elevating the breasts, a breast lift can be tailored to address other concerns, such as an elongated nipple-areola complex, asymmetry, and the loss of volume in the upper poles of the breasts. A breast lift can also be combined with other breast procedures, depending on your unique aesthetic goals, such as breast augmentation or reduction.

For the Best, Look No Further

Patient Testimonials

“If you are looking for the BEST, look no further! Seriously!!! As a nurse, I did my research on different surgeons and read every single review I could get my hands on. When I came across Dr. Ravi’s website, I read the reviews which were impressive then looked at the before and after pictures. I was FLOORED at how much better Dr. Ravi’s tummy tucks looked compared to other surgeons. … As for my tummy tuck results, let me just say I am officially SNATCHED!!! I will post pictures once my incisions have healed, and let me just say I have the CUTEST belly button!!! THANK YOU, DR. RAVI!” -Kali L., Houston, TX, extended tummy tuck, liposuction, and abdominal muscle repair patient.

“I never thought I’d ever have a cosmetic surgery. I had a double chin that I was super insecure about. I began doing research and came across Dr. Ravi. He and his team were knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. I had a chin liposuction procedure about 3 months ago and I’m loving my results. It has boosted my self-confidence. The procedure was so quick and painless that I was able to be awake with some simple numbing to the area. I’m happy I found them and will be back in the future.” –Lori T., Houston, TX, liposuction patient.

“Dr. Ravi is amazing, and his staff is awesome!! I had several consultations with different doctors, and I chose Dr. Ravi because he worked with diabetics before, and he followed through with my PCP before my surgery several times before I had my mommy makeover. This procedure was a smooth experience, especially because I live out of town and they helped plan out my aftercare and they truly care about your safety.” –Marisela M., Houston, TX, mommy makeover patient.

“Dr. Ravi is seriously the best!!! I got a breast reduction, lift, and internal bra, and it literally looks like I have implants in. The surgery was a breeze, and the recovery was not bad at all. The pre and post-op instructions were super easy to follow, and the 6-week recovery went by so fast. I love how confident I feel in my body now and am so happy I chose Dr. Ravi to perform my surgery” –Lauren H., Houston, TX, breast reduction with lift patient.

“I wanted to get my breast done after having two children and breastfeeding for almost three years. My breasts were sagging and deflated. My plan was to do multiple consultations, but I saw Dr. Ravi first and instantly chose him. They had me start taking medicine 5 days before the surgery, and I really think that’s what made my recovery so easy. … I didn’t even need the emergency pain medicine they gave me. The nurses called to check in with me before my follow-up. Overall, it was a very pleasant and easy experience” –Roxanne C., Houston, TX, breast augmentation and nipple lift patient.

“So happy with my experience with Dr. Gopathi! A friend referred me, and I was pleasantly surprised by how calm and quick my service was. My first time getting Botox, Dr. Gopathi really listened to my concerns and helped me feel at ease. I’m excited to continue my journey here and will be recommending to my family and friends. If you’re new to these procedures, Body By Ravi is a great place to begin.” –Elanie W., Houston, TX, Botox patient.

“My experience with Dr. Ravi was exceptional; he was thorough in explaining my procedure and had amazing bedside manners. His staff is professional and available to help even off hours. Karina was kind in answering my questions and seeing me post-op as well as all the staff in the office. I found Dr. Ravi through a friend who recommended him to me and she looked amazing and spoke so highly of him. I'm so thankful for my breast and abdomen improvements, and I cannot recommend him enough to everyone! He really is the best doctor and a great person.” –Ana R., Houston, TX, mommy makeover patient.

“When I decided to finally have a tummy tuck after 2 c-sections and years of fighting weight issues, I did a lot of research into plastic surgeons. Being a nurse, I carefully studied various surgeons’ websites, photos, and reviews in order to find the safest and most impressive one. Dr. Ravi met all my criteria, and the photos of his patients were by far the best. … I am so happy to be rid of my "muffin" stomach, and I can finally wear a 2-piece bathing suit for the 1st time in decades. Most importantly, my new body has encouraged me to work hard at losing weight and being healthy. Thank you.” –Stephanie C., Houston, TX, tummy tuck patient.

“I had a great experience with Dr. Ravi. I found his bedside manner to be a great balance of professional and personal. … I also appreciated Dr. Ravi's down-to-earth approach to cosmetic surgery: his goal is to achieve results that are natural-looking and add balance to the overall appearance. This was the primary reason I felt comfortable pursuing breast augmentation with his practice. I'm one year post-op, and I couldn't be happier with my results! I fit my clothing better, I appear more proportional, and I've had a great confidence boost. I highly recommend Dr. Ravi.” –Celeste, Houston, TX, body sculpting patient.

When selecting your surgeon, there are various criteria that you may consider to ensure a safe and satisfying experience:

Does your surgeon specialize in your desired procedure? Are they board-certified? Do they have a caring bedside manner?

In addition to his far-reaching reputation for patient empathy and specialized surgical experience, Dr. Ravi is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, signifying extensive training, knowledge, and practical experience. Board certification is not easily obtained. It involves years of advanced training and verbal assessment of a surgeon’s expertise and ethical standing as well as their ability to safely and effectively navigate various cosmetic and reconstructive challenges. More than a prestigious honor, board certification denotes an exceptional level of skill and conscientiousness so that patients can undergo treatment with the confidence that they have placed their trust in qualified hands.
