What is Breast Augmentation?
Cosmetic breast surgery is a procedure that adds volume to breasts to create a fuller look. It is known as one of the most desired cosmetic surgeries, providing women who are unhappy with their breast shape numerous options for improvement. With the help of implants or fat grafting, this cosmetic treatment improves breast size and shape and creates an appealing and natural-looking outcome. Charlotte, NC plastic surgeons Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer are experienced in executing this procedure and perform many breast augmentations each year. During your consultation at Appel Wormer Esthetics, your surgeon will address your concerns and desires and provide you with all of the choices available while also tailoring a treatment plan to attain your goals.
What is our Surgical Technique?
Incision placement and implant placement are aspects that are made before surgery. During the procedure, the chosen incision is created and then the implant will be slipped into its position. Two techniques may be applied for implant placement. These include either submuscular placement (under the pec muscle) or behind the breast tissue but over the pectoral muscle. Where to place the breast implant depends on varying factors, including the size and type of implant, along with the expertise of Dr. Appel and Dr. Wormer. No matter where the incision is placed, scarring is usually minimal. Implant placement is determined based on your implant size, activity level, and body type.
During a fat grafting procedure, you will be under some form of anesthesia. The exact type of anesthesia or numbing method will depend on how much fat tissue is being removed, including where it will be reinstated. Liposuction is first performed using a thin, special cannula to carefully extract the fat, which will then be purified and harvested inside a centrifuge (which preps the highest quality fat for syringes). After preparing the injection site, the healthy fat tissue will be transferred into the breasts. The process of injecting is completed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained.

Appel Wormer Esthetics Reviews
Dr Wormer has been great for me an my Explant. He is very kind, knowledgeable and remembers who you are. Suffering from now what we believe is BII (Breast Implant Illness) he was able to Explant and improve everyone of my symptoms that I suffered for over the life of my Implants of 9 years….high blood pressure, major weight gain, aches and pains, numbness, constipation, eye vision was going bad fast and just over all Not myself! The heal is real and will take sometime after the Explant but Dr Wormer will be there the whole way. Thank you Dr Wormer and staff for believing in me and giving me back my health.
Dr. Wormer is wonderful ! Extremely kind , great bedside manner , and just and overall wonderful doctor. He changed my life and love my results from my breast augmentation !!! I highly recommend him , he’s amazing 😉!
Just want to give a huge shout out to Dr Wormer. My mom has complications from breast implants resulting from a mastectomy and Dr Wormer worked her in for emergency surgery today not ever having met her. My mom has had two sets of implants over the past 18 years and is now having complications and needs emergency surgery to remove one of the implants. The doctor that did both of her implants in the past would not come in to do the emergency surgery.Two doctors advocating for my mom called her previous doctor to tell him the gravity of the situation but because there was no money in this surgery, he refused to do it. Dr Wormer was no doubt sent by God to intervene on my mom’s behalf and I will be forever grateful. He actually cares about people and it’s not just about the money. He had no obligation to do this for my mom and actually had to cancel other patients to work her in. I can’t think of too many people that would do that for a stranger. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, please go to Dr Wormer. He is an amazing man and his staff are most definitely angels! It’s important to know you have a doctor that going to be there for you in the future if you need him. I have no doubt that Dr Wormer will always be there for his clients! He’s just simply awesome!
Before and after my bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer Dr. Wormer cared to know my areas of concern and thought outside the box to help me meet my goals. He utilized fat from my abdomen to reconstruct without breast implants. I am very happy with the outcome. I cannot say enough about his gentleness, patience and genuine caring. To top it off he is a highly skilled surgeon!
Where is the app for 10 stars?! - I have been Dr. Wormer's patient since 2020. I am a TNBC survivor. He did my initial surgery and my female family members were speechless after they saw my breast reconstruction surgery. My results were far beyond amazing. It didn't appear that I had a double breast mastectomy 4 months before reconstruction with Dr. Wormer. There are thin scars on each side of my breasts which appear to look like natural veins and my breasts look so natural, i.e. he was able to preserve my nipples. Dr. Wormer is one of the best in his industry. After 3 years I am prepping for my next breast surgery with him and I can assure you, it will be another amazing result! The staff, everyone there are simply fantastic. I hear Dr. Appel is just as amazing as Dr. Wormer. I will be back to give an update after my surgery in mid-July. So, grateful to God for giving me, Dr. Wormer.
