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.

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.
