I Finally Did It - Mount Pleasant, SC After years of discomfort, and lots of research, I finally went through with my surgery. I had gone to my obgyn originally, who completely understood my concern but in the end I wanted it done by a plastic surgeon who had done the procedure many times before. I plan on giving a day by day review and will upload pictures when I have them. Day 1 I was put to sleep for the surgery (which I highly recommend) and woke up fine with little to no immediate pain ( I believe I had the trim method)... read more

Breast Reconstruction After Bilateral Mastectomy - Charleston, SC I was diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer after a lumpectomy in September 2014. My breast surgeon gave me a couple of treatment options (1) more surgery to have clear margins from the cancer that was removed, followed by radiation, and then be on a medication for 10 years or (2) bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Considering my age (35 at the time of diagnosis) and having 3 young children, I wanted to greatly reduce the opportunity for reoccurre... read more

Botched Breast Reduction Beautifully Resolved - Mount Pleasant, SC Dr. Kalus had to do revisional surgery on a really poor breast "reduction" from a year ago. He did a beautiful job and I am now a perfect 36C without implants. The awful scars from the first Dr. are gone too! I don't know how Dr. Kalus did it, but I am pretty sure it was experience, talent and diligence. To us, it is nothing short of incredible. I will never use anyone other than Ram Kalus; I know that he cares and that his work ethic is superb. His staff is ... read more

Happy Birthday to Me AND the Girls + New Pics! Hello & Woo-Hoo! This is so exciting! I am keeping this a pretty big secret, so it feels great to be able to come here and share my story, as well as learn from all of yours! I'm fast approaching my 42nd birthday and have always had breast envy! As an early teen, I was teased for being flat and eventually began poking fun at myself to control the humiliation. Needless to say, this came from my insecurity, which was always just below the surface during my dating years, as well. F... read more

35 Year Old, 5'2" 96 lbs, BA 175-215 cc's I'll start by saying that I have less than 36 hours now before my BA and not until today did I plan on writing a review. I had a change of heart for really two reasons. First I have been on RealSelf for many weeks now, learned so much from you ladies & this site, and would feel like a total hypocrite if I didn't share my own journey. Second I am the only person I know that will be getting such small implants (decided on 175-215 cc's, smooth round moderate profile silicone). I'm hopin... read more

I Was Better Before Surgery - Columbia, SC Every time I look in the mirror I get angry. People can't believe I had a breast augmentation because they are so small. I'm asked frequently "why did you get them so small".. Extremely upsetting. Dr. kalus is arrogant and cocky. He didn't even keep his promise of fixing his work. I woke up from the procedure crying. He returned to give me my prescription and seen I was crying. He said within a year if I didn't like them he would redo his work. And charge me just the anesthesia.
