Breast sagging, or droopiness, is one of the most common aesthetic concerns among women. It happens naturally over time and is influenced by factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging. For many women, these changes go beyond physical appearance, often affecting self-confidence and comfort.
At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, Dr. Ravi Somayazula, board-certified plastic surgeon, provides advanced solutions to restore a lifted, youthful breast shape that looks and feels natural. His refined techniques and science-driven approach help women achieve beautiful results in a safe, luxurious, and supportive environment.
Breast drooping, medically known as ptosis, occurs when the skin and supporting tissues of the breast lose elasticity. Over time, gravity, hormonal changes, and stretching of the ligaments can cause the breast tissue and nipple to descend.
For many women, these changes are gradual and can be intensified by life events. Pregnancy and breastfeeding often stretch the skin and increase the weight of the breasts, which then deflate once milk production stops. Weight gain and loss can also stretch and thin the skin, while genetics determine how resilient each woman’s breast tissue may be.
Dr. Ravi Somayazula often explains that sagging breasts are not a sign of poor health or aging alone, but rather a natural outcome of how the body evolves. He believes that education and understanding empower patients to make thoughtful choices about their appearance and overall well-being.
Physical changes in the breasts often lead to emotional and psychological effects. Many women describe feeling self-conscious in fitted clothing or swimwear. Others express frustration with bra fit or discomfort during exercise. These concerns are valid and deeply personal.
Dr. Ravi approaches each consultation with empathy and active listening. His calm, thoughtful manner allows patients to share their goals openly, knowing they are in a judgment-free space. Every surgical recommendation is designed to help women regain not only their shape but also their confidence and sense of femininity.
Ptosis refers to how much the breast and nipple have descended from their youthful position. Mild sagging may show as a nipple that sits at or just below the breast crease, while moderate or severe ptosis involves the nipple pointing downward or lying below the fold entirely.
Accurate assessment is crucial for achieving natural results. During each consultation, Dr. Ravi performs detailed tissue-based measurements, evaluating the skin’s elasticity, the nipple position, and the overall breast footprint. This meticulous evaluation ensures that each surgical plan is precisely tailored to the individual. The goal is to restore proportionality and balance that harmonize with the patient’s body frame.

There are many non-surgical products marketed for firming or lifting the breasts, including creams, exercises, or special devices. While these may slightly improve skin tone or posture, they cannot reposition stretched ligaments or remove excess skin.
Dr. Ravi Somayazula emphasizes that true correction of droopy breasts requires a structural approach that only surgery can achieve. For lasting, predictable results, the breast lift remains the gold standard.
A breast lift, also called mastopexy, reshapes the breast by removing excess skin, tightening internal structures, and repositioning the nipple and areola to a more youthful height. The result is a firmer, rounder, and naturally elevated contour.
At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, every breast lift is customized to meet the patient’s anatomy and goals. Dr. Ravi is known for his attention to detail, incorporating both art and science in every procedure. His focus is on creating soft, balanced curves that enhance the overall figure without looking artificial.

Each surgery begins with a comprehensive plan that considers the patient’s body proportions, skin quality, and desired aesthetic. Dr. Ravi employs internal parenchymal shaping sutures and an internal bra technique to provide long-term support. These specialized sutures reinforce the breast structure, reducing strain on the skin and helping maintain results for years.
He carefully selects the incision pattern that best suits the patient’s needs. Some may benefit from a lollipop incision around the areola and vertically down the breast, while others may require an anchor-shaped incision for more extensive reshaping. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visibility and ensure natural contouring.
Dr. Ravi’s calm precision extends through every phase of surgery. His integration of advanced scar optimization therapies, including silicone treatments and microneedling, ensures scars fade beautifully with time.
Some women experience both sagging and volume loss, especially after pregnancy or significant weight changes. In these cases, combining a breast lift with implants can restore both shape and fullness.
Dr. Ravi Somayazula uses only top-tier implants, such as Motiva and Allergan, chosen for their superior safety profiles and natural feel. Implant selection is not based on guesswork but guided by exact tissue-based measurements taken during the consultation. This ensures that the implant fits harmoniously within the patient’s unique anatomy.
The lift repositions the breast and nipple, while the implant restores upper-pole fullness and projection. Together, the procedures deliver a balanced, youthful silhouette that enhances the entire torso without appearing overdone.

For women who prefer a purely natural approach, a breast lift without implants can achieve beautiful, subtle enhancement. Using either the patient’s own breast tissue or small-volume fat transfer, Dr. Ravi can restore softness and volume without synthetic materials.
Fat is gently harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, purified, and carefully injected into the upper portions of the breasts. This technique improves cleavage and fullness while maintaining a completely organic feel.
Many patients appreciate this approach because it not only rejuvenates the breasts but also refines surrounding body contours. It is an elegant, dual-benefit procedure that reflects Dr. Ravi’s dedication to natural-looking artistry.
Safety is the cornerstone of Dr. Ravi Somayazula’s practice. All surgeries take place in his QuadASF-accredited surgical facility located within Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Houston.
