Dear Dr. Kalus,Read More Testimonials
I am just thrilled with the success of my recent liposuction. I was born with a rounded belly that only got worse as I aged. Your surgery flattened by abdomen and gave me the motivation to take better care of myself through diet and exercise.

Mommy Makeover
Why a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy, childbirth and breast-feeding can dramatically affect a woman’s body. Although having a child can be extremely fulfilling, a post-pregnancy body can make some women feel self-conscious and even depressed. Many new mothers in Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina are having Mommy Makeover surgery to counter those effects not reversible through proper lifestyle changes including healthy eating and exercise.
Dr. Ram Kalus creates an individualized Mommy Makeover plan for your body and your busy life. Many plans include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction for a relatively quick transformation but can involve other procedures, as well. Although one thinks of body surgery when one thinks of Mommy Makeovers, your face can also begin to show early signs of aging. A proper skin care regimen may help you achieve a healthier overall complexion. Fine wrinkles around the corners of the mouth and crow’s feet can be corrected with injectables. Sagging eyelids can make you look tired, or that you lack sleep. While both of those things may actually be true you may still benefit from considering a blepharoplasty if those changes are present. You may want to consider a Mommy Makeover if you have:
- Early signs of aging in your face or eyes
- Loose or sagging skin
- Stretch marks
- Post-pregnancy weight and fatty deposits
- Misshaped, sagging or flattened breasts
- Pre-existing cosmetic concerns

About the Procedures
Breast augmentation, lift, and reduction procedures may be options for women who want their breasts to return to their pre-pregnancy shape. Because pregnancy may cause a woman’s breasts to sag or increase or decrease in cup size, these procedures can be combined with other fat reduction and lift procedures to shape, contour and enhance the breasts.
Tummy tuck and body lift procedures can eliminate loose and stretched skin and fat deposits that diet and exercise cannot. Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin returning your stomach to its toned, pre-pregnancy look. A tummy tuck can also be combined with other body lift procedures, such as arm, thigh and butt lifts, to address more problem areas.
Liposuction can quickly remove stubborn pockets of post-pregnancy fat that will not respond to diet and exercise. New liposuction technology offers less pain and bruising and quicker healing time than ever before.
Dr. Kalus will perform your Mommy Makeover surgery in an accredited surgical facility that serves your specific needs. The length, procedure types, sedation and recovery time will vary depending on your individualized treatment plan. After the Mommy Makeover, you will be dressed in gauze bandages or special undergarments that will help to reduce swelling and provide support as you heal.
