DR JASON EMER
Dr Jason Emer considers waist, hips, skin and buttock contour together when planning body enhancement
The conversation is bigger than volume. Buttock enhancement involves the relationship between your waist, hips, thighs and existing shape. A consultation should identify the approach, the limits of your anatomy and the safety considerations of any proposed procedure.
BUTTOCK CONTOURING / THE EMER METHOD
Projection is only one part of buttock shape. The waist, hips, skin and the transition into the thighs affect the silhouette you see.
Dr Emer’s planning connects the desired shape to the available tissue and the safest appropriate approach. Fat transfer, skin treatment and injectable options are separate decisions. A BBL combines fat harvesting with transfer; it is not interchangeable with a nonsurgical filler treatment.

Fat transfer and injectable approaches involve different decisions. For surgical fat grafting, discuss technique, anatomical safety and the role of real-time ultrasound guidance.
Your waist, hips, available donor fat and skin quality influence the discussion. Fat transfer and injectable products are not interchangeable, and each has its own limitations and risks.
Professional society guidance supports real-time ultrasound during gluteal fat grafting to help monitor cannula position. Ask the treating surgeon how the procedure is performed and what safety measures apply.
Discuss activity, sitting, follow-up and when changes can be assessed. Fat retention varies and further treatment may be needed. This generic ultrasound probe illustrates the safety conversation, not Dr Emer’s specific equipment.
FROM THE PRACTICE
These are two separate practice-published cases. Keep the treatment, patient and photograph context together as you compare the approaches.

These are separate cases from the practice’s BBL safety and proportion article. They illustrate different treatment areas; they do not establish that the same combination is right for another patient. Photograph dates are not supplied.

Open on YouTubeYOUR CARE, IN SEQUENCE
Donor-site care, the treated area and return to activity all belong in the discussion before surgery.
Discuss your individual planDiscuss proportion and projection, previous surgery or injections and your health history. Tell the clinician if any injected material is unknown.
Ask about donor areas, anesthesia, the operating team and the technique proposed. Understand whether you are a candidate before planning around a specific size.
Get individual instructions for sitting, sleeping, activity, compression and travel. Arrange assistance and know how to contact the care team.
Early swelling does not establish the lasting result. Attend follow-up and ask when the clinician expects to assess volume and contour.
THE QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Open a question for the details. Bring your own questions to the consultation, too.
No. A BBL uses fat taken from your body. Injectable products involve different materials, evidence and risks.
No. Health, anatomy, available donor fat and surgical risk all affect candidacy.
Transferred fat survival and later body changes affect the result. A specific retained volume or appearance cannot be guaranteed.
Discuss ultrasound, placement plane, facility, anesthesia and the team’s protocol. Ask how complications are recognized and managed.
Disclose them before planning surgery. Silicone, PMMA or unknown material may require a separate assessment.
Follow the surgical team’s individualized instructions. The procedure and healing determine your restrictions and return to activity.
