Dr. Ram Kalus Breast Surgery Before After Gallery
South Carolina – Breast Augmentation,
Breast Reduction,
Breast Lift, and More
Dr. Ram Kalus performs a variety of breast surgeries at
his South Carolina practice, including breast augmentation,
breast reduction, and breast lift (with or without breast
implants). Dr. Kalus will work
with you on a personal basis to decide which procedure is
right for you. Personalized treatment is
especially important today because many women are being
over-augmented. Dr. Kalus believes this is affecting the
overall esthetic of what breasts should look like. If you
can tell that someone has had
breast implants, the doctor was not successful. Dr. Kalus
strives to achieve extraordinarily natural-looking results using state-of-the-art technology.
If you are interested in breast surgery, including breast
lift or breast augmentation with implants,

Columbia, Charleston, and locations throughout
North and South Carolina.
Breast Augmentation
Properly proportioned, well-formed breasts can instill a
sense of confidence in any woman. At our
plastic surgery center in South Carolina, we offer breast
augmentation to give women the opportunity
to feel more attractive. We believe every woman deserves to
feel beautiful and to love her body.
With breast implants, our patients in Columbia and across
South Carolina get to experience that
sensation of beauty.
Placing Breast Implants
The breast augmentation procedure is designed to
supplement a woman’s existing breasts, increasing
their size and enhancing their shape. After breast implants
are placed, a woman will have a more curvaceous, sexy bust
line and a completely natural but enhanced look.
To better serve his patients, Dr. Kalus utilizes only
well-respected surgical facilities in South Carolina
to perform breast augmentation procedures. Breast
augmentation is an hour-long outpatient procedure performed
under general anesthesia. Breast implants are carefully
inserted either under or above the pectoral muscles through
a tiny incision. Dr. Ram Kalus’ experience and skill help
minimize discomfort, scarring, and healing time. However,
following the placement of breast implants, patients will
need to
return to our Columbia office for follow-up consultations.
Patients who reside in South Carolina are welcome to
contact our office to schedule a breast
augmentation consultation. We serve residents of Charleston,
Columbia, and patients traveling from
North Carolina and nearby states.

Breast Lift – Mastopexy
In addition to breast augmentation, we also offer breast
lift surgery at our Columbia plastic surgery
center.
As you age, the skin surrounding your breasts may lose
some of its elasticity and cause a sagging appearance. This
phenomenon is common in women who have given birth and
breast-fed their infants.
A simple breast lift, also known a mastopexy, can restore
your body’s youthful state, by tightening a sagging bust
line. During the breast lift procedure, excess skin and
tissue are trimmed away as the bust
line is made taut and lifted. The breasts’ remaining skin
and nipples are repositioned to create a natural look.
The Breast Lift Procedure
Typically an outpatient procedure, basic breast lift
surgery takes about one to three hours. This
procedure may be performed with other breast surgeries,
including breast augmentation, for even more effective
results. For some women, breast implants are an excellent
complement to the breast lift
procedure. Additional surgical components may lengthen the
duration of the surgery. If you interested
in breast lift surgery, with or without breast implants,
contact our Columbia cosmetic surgery center
today.

Breast Reduction Surgery –
Reduction Mammaplasty
Oversized breasts force women to carry excess weight that
may cause medical issues including neck
and back pain, soreness from bra straps cutting into their
shoulders, and general discomfort. Women
with large breasts may feel insecure and awkward. Plastic
Surgery of the Carolinas helps women in
North and South Carolina by offering breast reduction
surgery. Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, can
also be characterized as a
reconstructive cosmetic surgery procedure. The
procedure reduces the size of the breasts so that they are
more proportional to the rest of a woman’s
body.
The Breast Reduction Procedure
Breast reduction surgery begins with an incision that
circles the areola and continues below to the lower crease
of the breast. After removing tissue, skin, and unneeded fat
(via
liposuction), Dr. Ram Kalus will tighten the remaining
skin around the now contoured breast. Breast reduction
surgery, which is
performed on an outpatient basis, usually lasts less than
three hours.
Patients in South Carolina considering breast reduction
surgery should
contact Dr. Ram Kalus today for more information. Dr.
Kalus and the staff at Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas will
be happy to address all questions about the breast reduction
procedure and financial / insurance matters during
consultations.

Breast Reconstruction
With the spread and increased detection of breast cancer
throughout the United States, many women
save their own lives by losing a part of themselves. During
a mastectomy, the breast is removed to stop the spread of
cancer. Women seek breast reconstruction surgery to restore
the natural curves of a breast
lost during a mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is also
performed on patients who suffer from breast deformities.
The procedure improves a patient’s quality of life by
heightening self-esteem and
confidence.
Breast Reconstruction Techniques
Breast reconstruction surgery is usually performed in
stages and can span across a period of six months. The first
procedure, which is usually performed at the time of the
mastectomy, is the longest and most complex. Most subsequent
breast reconstruction surgeries involve minimal pain and
recovery.
There are two categories of reconstruction: implant-based
reconstruction and reconstruction using the patient's own
tissue. There are many factors and variables to consider in
deciding whether to use one's
own tissue to reconstruct breasts or utilize breast
implants. At our office in Columbia, Dr. Ram Kalus
formulates individualized treatment plans for each of his
patients. To discuss a breast reconstruction strategy,
please
contact Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas today.
