Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), Liposuction, and Body Contouring in South Carolina
Dr. Ram Kalus performs many cosmetic surgery procedures to optimize your body. Utilizing the latest technology, Dr. Kalus will work with your individual needs to provide the best possible results.
With constant advances in surgical technology, the range of body contouring techniques is becoming broader every day. Dr. Ram Kalus keeps up to date on the latest of these technologies, allowing him to produce extraordinary results with procedures including thigh lift, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), and tumescent liposuction at his Columbia, South Carolina practice. Patients travel from throughout North and South Carolina to benefit from Dr. Kalus’ expertise in performing abdominoplasty, lifts, and other body contouring procedures.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Often referred to as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty is available to South Carolina patients through Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas. Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that can significantly lessen the appearance of a protruding abdomen. The tummy tuck procedure is best suited for patients who have an abdominal fat deposit or excess skin that does not diminish with proper diet and exercise.
Abdominoplasty procedures offered at our South Carolina practice are designed to remove excess fat and skin, giving greater definition to a patient’s abs. Abdominoplasty is ideal for women who are experiencing abdominal laxity as a result of giving birth and patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and been left with excess skin. Those with excess fat who are not interested in also removing excess skin may benefit more from liposuction surgery.
The Tummy Tuck Procedure
Depending on the extent of work needed for the procedure, abdominoplasty surgery may last anywhere from two to five hours. The most common side effects of abdominoplasty include swelling, bruising, and some mild discomfort. These symptoms normally last no longer than 10 days. If you are considering abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), contact our office in Columbia, South Carolina to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kalus.
Liposuction
Eating right and exercising are the healthiest ways to lose weight, but many people retain problem areas of fat, no matter how strict their diet and exercise regimen is. Because of this, Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas offers liposuction to our South Carolina and North Carolina patients.
Liposuction is a procedure that surgically removes these problem areas. Liposuction at our South Carolina location is performed by the skilled hand of Dr. Ram Kalus. Depending on a patient’s needs, Dr. Kalus can target many body areas with liposuction, including the legs, buttocks, hips, stomach, arms, chin, neck, and ankles.
Labiaplasty
Occasionally women will present with labia minora hypertrophy. This can be both painful and embarrassing if the labia show through the underclothes, or get pinched with certain activities including bicycle riding. Labial reduction surgery can performed both by qualified plastic surgeons as well as gynecologists, and the results can be dramatic for the patient. Dr. Ram Kalus at Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas is one of the few plastic surgeons who has had extensive experience with labial reduction surgery. Contact Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas for more information or to schedule a consultation.
Introducing Tumescent Liposuction
We now also offer tumescent liposuction through our Columbia practice. A newer liposuction method, tumescent liposuction uses a liquid injected into the area to be treated. This substance enters the fat pockets and becomes swollen and firm, allowing for easier removal of the fat. The techniques used in tumescent liposuction reduce post-operative bruising and pain.
Tumescent liposuction is completed while the patient is under anesthesia. This outpatient surgery may last over two hours, depending on desired results. Patients may experience minor discomfort and swelling, which will disappear during the brief healing period. Once healed, patients who have tumescent liposuction through our Columbia, South Carolina practice will notice a more sculpted and toned physique. Contact Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas to discuss your liposuction options today.
Thigh Lift
This is the perfect procedure for patients who just can’t seem to get the firm, healthy thighs they desire. Thigh lifts incorporate liposuction to remove excess skin and tissue, and gentle tightening to tone the thighs. For more information about thigh lifts, please contact Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas today.
Upper Arm Lift – Brachioplasty
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes loose skin and fat deposits in the upper arm. Upper arm skin can become loose and flabby with age, and many choose to have it tightened with this simple procedure. For more information and to discuss the options, contact Dr. Ram Kalus today.
