Transformation isn’t theory here – it’s the origin story and the mission. As a young athlete, Dr. Jason Emer experienced a facial injury and emergency nose surgery that changed not only how he looked, but how he thought about medicine. That moment sparked a career devoted to purposeful aesthetics: using skill, science, and artistry to restore confidence. In practice, “cosmetic” means life change – he’s stood beside acne-scar patients moved to tears and revision liposuction patients finally recognizing themselves again.
The approach is personal and long-term: listen first, map anatomy and goals, explain trade-offs, then stage plans that fit real lives and real schedules. Expect meticulous customization across skin, face, and body, with an emphasis on results that look natural in motion and age well over time. More than procedures, this is a relationship built on education, transparency, and steady progress – because when care is tailored and thoughtful, the outcome is bigger than a before-and-after photo: it’s the return of ease, optimism, and everyday confidence.
The Origin Story: An Accident that Sparked a Calling
A baseball to the face. A broken nose. An emergency surgery that changed how his face looked – and how he viewed medicine. That dramatic shift seeded a lifelong pursuit: transformation with purpose. If one intervention could have such a profound impact on self-confidence, what might be possible with a thoughtful, artistic, and evidence-based approach to aesthetics?
Philosophy: Transformation, Confidence, and Real Relationships
Aesthetic medicine isn’t vanity; it’s transformation. Dr. Emer has stood in the room as acne-scar patients cried with relief and as revision liposuction patients finally recognized themselves again. His goal is more than technical success—it’s confidence that ripples into dating, clothing, and daily ease. He favors partnership over distance: be the trusted friend-physician who celebrates wins, explains tradeoffs, and stages plans that fit real lives.
Reputation & Testimonial Voice
Patients and peers say, “You won’t find another doctor who does complex treatments like Dr. Emer.” The team calls him inventive, relentless– even “crazy” in the best way– which fans echo with near-devotional praise: “If he started a church, I’d be in the front row.” That energy stems from consistent, exacting outcomes and full-cycle care.
Practice Scope: Skin, Face & Body – Comprehensive and Integrated
Body surgeries: advanced lipo (including 360 lipo), transformational skin removal, skin tightening, and breast surgeries.
Derm & lasers: tailored care for acne scars, pigmentation, wrinkles; careful energy selection for diverse skin.
Anti-aging: maintenance programs that keep results natural and long-lasting. ”
Case Study – “Shaunie”: Tummy Tuck Revision that Restored Freedom
Slim, post-pregnancy, yet burdened by a high tummy-tuck scar, a small fat “pouch” above it, and an off-center belly button. The fix required precision: lower/relocate the scar when safe, deflate and smooth the pouch, re-balance the umbilicus as anatomy allows. Beyond technique, this is freedom – bikinis, belly dancing, youthful spontaneity – returned. Revision is a significant part of the practice because not all surgeries and laser procedures are performed well elsewhere.
“Down Under” Medicine: No Stigma, Same Standards
If it’s part of your body, it deserves expert care and dignity– vaginal, penile, and anal areas included. A signature service is male girth enhancement. Its origin was pragmatic and compassionate: during facial fat grafting for HIV patients, a patient asked whether some fat could be transferred to the penis. The logic tracked (autologous tissue, controlled technique), and the results built a robust program. Patients even joke about trends like fuller pubic hair– “the ’70s are back.” Humor aside, the approach stays clinical: normalize the conversation, tailor the plan, and prioritize safety.
Oncology & Scar-Healing Breakthrough: A Mohs Case that Changed Everything
A 20-something man with a “pimple” that proved to be basal cell carcinoma underwent Mohs surgery. Subclinical spread meant a larger-than-expected defect; reconstruction left an emotionally heavy scar. The question that followed drives much of today’s protocol: Why can’t we mature scars earlier? By combining fractional laser therapy and chemical peels, scar edges and texture were optimized in a relatively short timeframe – within approximately three months, the scar appeared nearly invisible. This pivot solidified a focus on accelerating healing and optimizing early scar formation.
Subtle Maintenance & the Heart-Shaped Look
True transformation is maintained, not just made. Many patients opt for Botox and fillers (such as for the cheeks and chin) to achieve a gentle, heart-shaped facial contour with balanced, natural-looking lips. The best compliment? When patients forget they had anything done, it’s often until strangers compliment them.
Culture & Confidence in a Media World
The Miranda Priestly comparison (high standards, exacting taste) isn’t about attitude; it’s about systems and outcomes. In a selfie-driven world, presentation is a powerful form of communication. Done properly, aesthetics is a confidence builder that affects careers, relationships, and everyday poise.
What Your First Visit Feels Like
Your first visit is relaxed, collaborative, and zero-pressure. We’ll align on your goals, review your history, take standardized photos/measurements, and talk honestly about timelines, downtime, and budget. By the end, you’ll have clear options and know exactly what each step accomplishes – no surprises.
1) Listen: Dr. Emer asks about your goals, history, lifestyle, and downtime windows
2) Map: Dr. Emer will develop phased plan options (revise → refine → maintain) showing case studies of prior patients
3) Act: choose the plan that best suits you
4) Maintain: skincare, peptides, lifestyle strategy, and scheduled touch-ups to protect the investment
Standards that Stick
Energy settings, incision design, scar placement, graft volumes, compression: micro-decisions create macro-results. No shortcuts, no compromises, no guesswork.
Quick Comparison Table
Goal / Concern | Best-fit Options | Typical Plan | Downtime | Notes |
Acne scars (mixed depth) | Fractional laser ± chemical peels | 3-5 staged sessions | Low-Moderate | Combine for texture + tone; photograph baseline/3/6 mo |
Mohs/reconstruction scars | Early fractional laser + peels | Staged as healing allows | Low-Moderate | Aim to mature scars earlier; reduce emotional burden |
High tummy-tuck scar/pouch | Scar relocation, defatting, skin tightening | Single revision, then refine | Moderate | Re-center umbilicus when blood supply allows |
Contour irregularities after lipo | Precision fat removal + micro-grafting | 1-2 touchpoints | Low-Moderate | Smooth planes, equalize transitions |
Male girth concerns | Autologous fat grafting or filler modalities | 1 main session + follow-up | Low-Moderate | Candid consult on goals, tradeoffs, maintenance |
Heart-shaped facial contour | Cheek/chin filler + neuromodulator | Subtle, periodic | Minimal | Keep natural; plan for longevity and balance |
FAQs
Often yes. Stacking modalities optimizes texture and pigment safely.
Sometimes. Scar position, skin quality, and blood supply set the limits.
Autologous fat can partially resorb; periodic refinement may be advised.
Timing depends on closure and healing; early optimization can help – we’ll stage it safely.
They can be. Fillers/neuromodulators maintain proportion and buy time before or between surgical steps. Surgery may not always be necessary.
