Dr. Ravi Somayazula adds Preservé breast augmentation in Houston

Body By Ravi Plastic Surgery & Associates in Houston is now offering Preservé Breast Augmentation with Motiva implants for suitable patients. The tissue-preserving technique aims to reduce disruption, shorten recovery and, in select cases, allow surgery without general anesthesia.

Why it matters: - Preservé® gives Houston patients another breast augmentation option that is designed to preserve more natural breast tissue, support structures and sensation. - The technique may appeal to patients who want less downtime, a smaller incision and the possibility of an awake procedure. - The addition expands the surgical choices available at Body By Ravi Plastic Surgery & Associates for patients comparing traditional augmentation, a lift or a combined approach.

What happened: - Dr. Ravi Somayazula introduced Preservé® Breast Augmentation with Motiva® Implants at Body By Ravi Plastic Surgery & Associates in Houston. - The technique is now available to suitable patients in Houston. - Dr. Ravi completed hands-on Preservé® training in Costa Rica at Establishment Labs, the maker of Motiva® breast implants. - During the training, Dr. Ravi participated in lectures, cadaveric dissection and live surgical cases.

The details: - Preservé® is described as a less invasive breast augmentation technique built around preservation of native breast tissue, sensation, supportive structures and chest muscles. - The procedure uses specialized Motiva® technologies to prepare the implant pocket in a less disruptive way and place the implant through a smaller incision. - For appropriately selected patients, the approach may allow local anesthesia with sedation instead of traditional general anesthesia. - Dr. Ravi said the technique is designed to preserve more of the breast’s natural anatomy and support longer-lasting results for appropriately selected patients. - Preservé® may be best for women with good overall breast shape who want more volume without extensive tissue disruption. - Patients with significant breast descent, stretched skin or a lower nipple position may get better results from a breast lift, traditional augmentation or a combined procedure. - Dr. Ravi brings more than 15 years of experience and thousands of cosmetic breast procedures to patient planning.

Between the lines: - Preservé® appears positioned as a niche option, not a replacement for standard breast augmentation. - The procedure’s value depends on patient selection, surgical technique and long-term planning, not just the implant used. - Dr. Ravi’s live training experience in Costa Rica suggests the practice is emphasizing technical specialization before offering the procedure selectively. - For patients concerned about anesthesia or recovery, the awake option could be a meaningful differentiator if they qualify.

What's next: - Patients interested in Preservé® will be evaluated during consultation to determine whether the technique, a traditional augmentation or another surgical plan is the better fit. - Body By Ravi Plastic Surgery & Associates will offer the procedure selectively to patients who match the technique’s anatomy and goals. - Dr. Ravi is expected to continue using the new training to guide patient selection and surgical planning.

The bottom line: - Houston patients now have access to a specialized breast augmentation option that aims to preserve more anatomy and reduce recovery burden, but only for the right candidates.
