Liposuction

Body by Ravi offers surgical liposuction across multiple body zones — including abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, arms, and neck — as well as full 360-degree circumferential liposuction for comprehensive body re-shaping. Dr. Ravi Somayazula performs procedures at the clinic's adjacent private accredited surgical centre. Liposuction may be combined with fat grafting to redistribute harvested fat to areas that may benefit from augmentation. All-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees covers the facility, anaesthesia, post-operative compression garments, and follow-up care.

Liposuction at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery Houston is a surgical fat-reduction procedure performed by Dr. Ravi Somayazula DO at the Houston Plastic Surgery Center, the clinic's dedicated private accredited operating facility. The procedure uses small-calibre cannulas inserted through discreet access incisions to mechanically disrupt and aspirate subcutaneous adipose tissue from targeted anatomical zones. Body by Ravi treats the full range of common liposuction sites — the upper and lower abdomen, flanks and love handles, hips, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, chest and axilla, and the neck and submental region for chin contouring. The clinic also performs 360-degree liposuction, which addresses the anterior and posterior torso in a single operative session to achieve balanced circumferential reduction of the waist, flanks, back, and lower back simultaneously. This comprehensive approach produces more proportionate and harmonious overall body reshaping than targeting a single region in isolation. Tumescent infiltration — the instillation of a solution containing saline, dilute local anaesthetic (lidocaine), and a vasoconstrictor (epinephrine) — is used to hydro-dissect the fat compartment, reduce blood loss, and pre-anaesthetise the treatment zone. This technique substantially improves the smoothness of fat removal and reduces post-operative bruising and discomfort. For patients requiring concomitant augmentation of areas such as the buttocks or the breast, harvested fat can be processed and re-injected as an autologous fat graft in the same operative session — eliminating the need for synthetic implants while using material otherwise discarded. Liposuction is frequently combined with abdominoplasty in a single-stage mommy makeover, where the flank and hip zones are treated with liposuction before the abdominal skin and muscle work is completed. Dr. Somayazula's extensive board-certified experience and fellowship training underpin technically precise cannula movement patterns that minimise contour irregularities, seroma risk, and skin redundancy. Body by Ravi's all-inclusive pricing covers all components of the surgical episode — pre-operative appointments and labs, the private surgical facility, anaesthesiologist fee, post-operative compression garments sized to the patient, and unlimited follow-up visits through the recovery period.
