Every woman’s body tells a story. Over time, life’s most meaningful moments - pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or simply the passing of years - can alter the shape and firmness of the breasts. These changes are natural, yet they often carry a deeper emotional impact. Many women express feeling less confident in their clothing, avoiding certain styles they once loved, or feeling that their reflection no longer matches how they feel inside.
For those ready to restore a youthful shape and renewed confidence, advanced plastic surgery offers safe and beautiful solutions. At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Houston, TX, Dr. Ravi Somayazula specializes in customized breast rejuvenation procedures designed to lift, reshape, and refine the natural contour of the breasts with artistry and precision. His philosophy is simple - empower women to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin.
Sagging breasts, medically called breast ptosis, occur when the skin and internal ligaments that support the breast tissue lose elasticity. This loss of firmness is influenced by several factors, each contributing to subtle or significant changes in shape, projection, and nipple position.
The aging process is one of the most common causes. As collagen and elastin fibers weaken, the skin gradually loses its ability to resist gravity. Over time, the breast envelope stretches, and the tissue inside descends. Hormonal changes during menopause can further affect volume and density, creating a softer, less supported feel.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding also play a major role. During these stages, the breasts naturally enlarge as milk ducts expand, stretching the skin and underlying ligaments. Once breastfeeding ends, the tissue often deflates, leaving behind laxity or a “deflated” appearance. Many mothers express that although they cherish what their bodies accomplished, they wish to restore their pre-pregnancy contour and firmness.
Weight fluctuations contribute as well. Gaining or losing significant weight alters the fatty tissue within the breasts, stretching the skin and then leaving it looser once the volume decreases. Lifestyle choices, genetics, and even posture over time can all influence how early and how significantly sagging occurs.
While the causes vary, the result is often the same - breasts that no longer reflect the youthful shape or proportion many women desire. The good news is that modern surgical techniques allow this change to be addressed safely and predictably, with results tailored to each woman’s anatomy and goals.
At the heart of every successful transformation is trust, and trust begins with understanding. Dr. Ravi Somayazula, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston, TX, has built his practice on compassion, integrity, and meticulous attention to detail. His philosophy centers on listening carefully to each patient’s story, learning what they hope to achieve, and creating a surgical plan that blends medical precision with aesthetic artistry.
At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, the environment reflects this philosophy. From the moment patients walk through the door, they experience a calm, luxurious setting that feels more like a high-end wellness retreat than a medical office. Every element - from consultation to recovery - is designed to be personal, private, and empowering.

All procedures are performed in an QuadAAAASF-accredited surgical facility, where board-certified anesthesiologists and a dedicated medical team ensure the highest level of patient care.

Dr. Ravi’s results are known for their natural elegance. His goal is not to create a “surgical look” but to restore proportion, shape, and harmony to the body. By using the latest surgical innovations and understanding the nuances of anatomy, he achieves beautiful, balanced results that align with each patient’s unique frame and aesthetic vision.
There is no single solution for sagging breasts. Every woman’s body is unique, and treatment must be individualized to achieve the most natural and lasting outcome. At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, Dr. Ravi Somayazula offers several advanced techniques, each designed to address specific concerns while enhancing comfort, recovery, and scar quality.
A breast lift repositions the breast tissue and nipple higher on the chest, removes excess skin, and reshapes the breast for a firmer contour. It is ideal for women who are happy with their breast size but wish to correct drooping or loss of shape.
Dr. Ravi performs several variations of this procedure, choosing the most appropriate based on each patient’s degree of sagging and skin quality. He utilizes internal parenchymal shaping sutures - specialized internal stitches that sculpt the breast tissue from within, creating long-lasting support. In certain cases, an internal bra technique may be used to reinforce the lower pole, ensuring the breast maintains its lifted position for years to come.
Scars are carefully placed to blend naturally with the breast’s anatomy, often fading beautifully over time. Dr. Ravi’s scar optimization protocol includes the use of silicone therapy, microneedling, and Brijjit devices to improve healing and minimize visibility.
For women who experience both sagging and loss of upper pole volume, a combined lift and implant procedure may be the most effective approach. This surgery restores both shape and size in a single stage, offering a youthful, balanced result.
Dr. Ravi uses premium implants from Allergan and Motiva, chosen for their safety, durability, and natural feel. Implant selection is based on detailed measurements of the patient’s breast footprint, tissue thickness, and desired outcome. By using precise sizing and placement techniques, he achieves symmetry and proportion that complement the body’s natural lines.
A lift with implants not only rejuvenates the breast but also enhances the overall silhouette, improving how clothing fits and how patients feel about their reflection.
For those seeking a modest increase in volume without implants, fat transfer offers a gentle and organic alternative. Using his SAFE Liposuction technique, Dr. Ravi carefully harvests fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The purified fat is then reinjected into the breasts to restore softness, fullness, and improved contour.
This approach is particularly beneficial for women who desire a natural look or wish to refine cleavage and upper pole fullness following weight loss or pregnancy. The added benefit is improved body contouring in donor areas, creating a harmonious balance between body and breast.
What distinguishes Dr. Ravi Somayazula is his dedication to advanced surgical artistry and modern recovery science. His approach integrates proven techniques that improve comfort, healing, and long-term satisfaction.
He often incorporates internal support sutures - an “internal bra” concept - to maintain breast shape and prevent bottoming out over time. To optimize scar quality, his patients benefit from postoperative care such as microneedling and silicone therapy, which enhance collagen remodeling and reduce redness.
Dr. Ravi also practices an enhanced recovery protocol that minimizes pain and speeds up healing. Using multimodal pain management strategies, including non-opioid medications and long-lasting local anesthetics, most patients experience a smooth recovery and are able to return to light activity sooner than expected.
Every detail is intentional, from preoperative planning to postoperative follow-up, ensuring each patient feels supported and cared for throughout their journey.

Mild sagging can sometimes improve with lifestyle factors like consistent exercise, improved posture, and skin-tightening treatments. However, once the skin and breast tissue have stretched beyond a certain point, only surgical lifting can truly reposition and reshape the breasts to a more youthful contour.
Yes, but always with care and precision. During a breast lift, the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more natural level on the chest without disconnecting the underlying blood and nerve supply. This ensures a youthful, centered appearance while preserving sensation whenever possible.
Most women retain the ability to breastfeed after these procedures. Dr. Ravi Somayazula uses surgical techniques that protect glandular and ductal structures whenever possible, but this can vary depending on anatomy and the extent of correction needed.
The results of a breast lift or augmentation with lift are long-lasting. However, the natural aging process continues, and factors like weight fluctuation or pregnancy can influence breast position over time. Maintaining a stable weight and supportive lifestyle helps preserve the result beautifully for many years.
Yes. Many women choose to combine a breast lift with a reduction, especially when sagging is caused by overly heavy tissue. This combination reshapes the breast while creating a lighter, lifted feel that enhances posture and comfort.
Absolutely. Many women in Houston choose to combine breast lift surgery with procedures such as tummy tuck or liposuction as part of a customized Mommy Makeover. This approach restores overall proportion, streamlines recovery, and provides a balanced, harmonious result.
Not at all. Sagging breasts are a natural part of life and do not reflect poor health. They simply represent changes in skin elasticity, tissue structure, and gravity over time. Correcting sagging is a personal choice about confidence and comfort - not a medical necessity.
Sagging breasts do not have to define how a woman feels about her body. With advanced surgical techniques, artistic vision, and a patient-centered philosophy, transformation is possible.
