What is Gynecomastia?
The scientific term gynecomastia is used for male breast enlargement. It is a condition that can produce a female-like chest due to the abnormal growth of breast tissue. Many times, gynecomastia is caused by an unknown hormonal problem. Certain medications, steroids, major weight gain or loss, or genetics can also cause it. Men with this condition often feel anxious and worried, more so in situations where the chest area is exposed, such as at the beach, pool, or in the gym. Charlotte, NC plastic surgeons Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer perform cosmetic breast treatment for men who have gynecomastia. This surgical procedure has a high success rate. It is one of the more common cosmetic surgeries for men at Appel Wormer Esthetics.
What is our Surgical Technique?
Liposuction is almost always utilized during surgery for gynecomastia. Performed under general anesthesia, liposuction helps eliminate excess fat from the chest wall. Next, any skin showing laxity will be removed to create a tighter appearance, and then the nipple area and surrounding areola will be surgically reshaped and placed into a proportionate position. For most men, this treatment strategy requires an incision near where the glandular tissue resides. After the pockets of fat and excess skin have been addressed, Dr. Appel or Dr. Wormer will tighten the remaining skin.

If I could give more than 5 stars i absolutely would! I have had nothing but amazing experiences each and every time. Both dr Appel and his office ladies are so kind and helpful. I’ve had 2 surgeries so far with Dr Appel and the last one was at his new office surgery suites and I must say it was wonderful, of course no one loves surgery but his office was so peaceful and clean and just calming everyone was so patient and kind and no one rushed and the nurse in the operating room was so sweet and kind as well as the ladies who were in the recovery room with me. This was the most amazing experience and nothing at all like having a surgery in a hospital. Also no matter what time both Dr Appel and his staff are always there to help or answer any questions or concerns and Dr Appel even made time to call and check on me that night after surgery a few times just to make sure I was okay. He also takes his time with his patients and really listens to them, I struggle with horrible body dysmorphia and he always makes me feel heard and does everything in his power to help his patients and he is honest as well. His work is amazing and I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin. I can say Dr Appel and his office ladies are stuck with me I’m a patient for life and I can’t say enough amazing things about them! ❤️
