What is After Weight Loss Surgery?
Celebrating a major weight loss is a significant achievement, but for many, it's a victory that may be overshadowed by the subsequent challenge of excess, sagging skin. This leftover skin often fails to fit their newly slimmed contours. For comprehensive skin tightening and body contouring, brachioplasty, thigh lift, and body lift are often necessary. These surgeries, performed by Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer, address skin laxity and improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue. For individuals in Charlotte, NC, undergoing these procedures at Appel Wormer Esthetics can be the final, triumphant phase in their weight reduction journey, offering a new lease on life and a body shape that reflects their hard-won success.
What is our Surgical Technique?
Post-weight loss surgery, including procedures like brachioplasty, thigh lift, and body lift, is a comprehensive, invasive treatment that requires general anesthesia with a duration ranging from 3 – 7 hours, depending on the extent of combined surgeries. Often, an overnight hospital stay is necessary for recovery. The process typically includes liposuction to address remaining fat deposits, followed by the excision of excess skin. Given the extensive nature of these procedures, larger incisions are inevitable, leading to more significant scarring compared to other cosmetic surgeries. However, Dr. Appel and Dr. Wormer exercise meticulous care to place incisions discreetly and provide detailed aftercare instructions for scar management to promote optimal healing and aesthetic results.

They did a great job with my surgery and were quick to respond to any questions I had over their app. They didn't treat me as if i was just money through the door but as a patient that was truly being taken care of. This is an awsome place, people, and great experience. I would definitely recommend to others. Thanks for all you do
Dr. Blair Wormer is the best .
Ashley did my Botox and she was amazing! Very professional, informative, and kind! The front office staff was also very friendly! Highly recommend!
This is my second surgery connection with Dr. Wormer. I really enjoyed the new 'in house' venue for this procedure as opposed to the hospital. All the staff were respectful, helpful, professional and upbeat. Dr. Wormer did a fabulous job and the follow up was all one could hope for.
These are wonderful professionals who truly care. From taking the time to patiently answer every question to ensuring the greatest level of care is given to their clients every step of the way, Appel Wormer gets the results you're after with the best possible experience.
