A flat, sculpted abdomen can be difficult to achieve, especially following pregnancy or weight loss. A tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin, fat, and underlying muscle to slim and firm your midsection. Houston Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravi offers exquisitely natural tummy tuck results in Houston. Explore the benefits of a personalized tummy tuck, and schedule your private consultation with Dr. Ravi for an exceptional plastic surgery experience and long-lasting confidence.
Pregnancy is a life-changing experience that affects every facet of you as a person, including your body. A mommy makeover is a combination surgical procedure designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body and youthful confidence. As a highly personalized treatment, a mommy makeover consists of a tummy tuck and breast procedure (typically augmentation or lift), with the option to incorporate other surgical procedures for comprehensive results and optimal satisfaction.
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.
Breast augmentation involves the surgical placement of implants to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravi offers a personalized treatment experience designed to deliver your most authentically youthful results according to your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Explore the benefits of breast augmentation, and schedule your consultation with Dr. Ravi to achieve exquisitely feminine contours.
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.
Full and lifted buttocks contribute to a youthful and feminine silhouette. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a surgical procedure that uses transferred fat to accentuate the buttocks, enhancing volume, firmness, and contours. Reduce fat in areas such as the abdomen and thighs or anywhere else that contains sufficient fat for your BBL to create your ideal body proportions. With high-definition liposuction and the skill of a trusted surgeon, you can look forward to beautifully smooth, seamless fat transfer results.
