What is Breast Implant Removal?
After undergoing a breast augmentation to enhance the size and contour of the breasts, a few women may decide to get them taken out for a variety of factors. At Appel Wormer Esthetics in Charlotte, NC, Dr. James Appel consults with patients who wish to remove their breast implants. In some cases, a breast lift might be required following implant removal based upon the size of the implants and how much your skin stretched. A lift can often help reduce sagging or excess skin, which can remain after an implant removal. If you're wishing to go back to your previous breast size, breast implant removal surgery along with a breast lift may create beautiful results to restore the natural look and texture of your breasts.
Surgical Technique
For your breast implant removal procedure, the implants are taken out and scar tissue may also have to be eliminated. Scar tissue is typical after receiving implants and will need to be removed if it's affecting the shape of the breast or causing pain. After the implants are removed, Dr. Appel may conduct a breast lift, fat transfer, or possibly both depending on what was decided upon during your consultation. There are also a number of options to restore volume after an implant removal to improve the shape of the breast.
Benefits of Breast Implant Removal

Appel Wormer Esthetics Reviews
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.

Ideal Candidates
Breast implant removal can be used to correct an array of issues a patient might experience after a breast augmentation, including scar tissue (capsular contracture), implant malfunction, and unhappiness with the breast implants. Sometimes, women might simply prefer their original breast and want to restore their natural appearance. Regardless of the reason, breast augmentation removal may function to counteract the outcomes of a breast augmentation and if combined with a breast lift, may reestablish a natural, desirable aesthetic appearance. Before your surgery, Dr. Appel will talk with you about your wanted look for your breasts and how to reach it.

What to Expect
The recovery period will vary for every patient depending on the reconstruction needed following the procedure. After the surgery, Dr. Appel will deliver post-procedure directions and might suggest additional procedures to help reduce scarring. For the first two or three weeks, patients will experience swelling and bruising and must restrict strenuous exercise until otherwise permitted. However, patients are encouraged to stand and gradually move around since it will help with blood circulation. Optimal results can normally be seen roughly 4 – 6 months after the procedure.
