What Dr. Emer did · MAXORIS

Every procedure. In order.

  1. 01

    Tumescent fluid placement

    Super wet technique with higher fluid volume than traditional methods to lift tissue planes and allow superficial sculpting work across the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, chest sides and mons pubis.

  2. 02

    Vaser ultrasonic liposculpture MAXORIS™

    Ultrasonic energy applied to flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, chest sides and mons pubis in the superficial plane to carve muscle definition and remove stubborn fat resistant to training.

    “this is ultrasonic lipo um was popular after laser lipo and super popular now that people want to do high def or reconstructive cases especially with most of the botched work being done it's very difficult to remove scar tissue and fix irregularities without ultrasonic lipo”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  3. 03

    Renuvion plasma tightening

    Internal plasma heating applied to the upper back, chest sides and chest border to constrict blood vessels, reduce bruising and swelling, and shrink wrap skin to the new contour.

    “this is internal plasma does some of the best internal heating it also helps prevent side effects cuz it it constricts the blood vessels and it stops all the bruising and the swelling”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  4. 04

    Fat transfer to buttock

    Purified fat harvested from liposculpture zones and transferred to the buttock to add perkiness and fill, designed to integrate and become more defined as the patient resumes training.

    “this fat is going to integrate into the skin when he works out he's just GNA look super more much more defined”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  5. 05

    Gland excision

    Gland tissue removed from under the areola where liposculpture cannot reach, leaving a thin layer for safety and natural contour.

    “so guys this is when we remove the gland this is clean we leave a thin layer under the arola to for safety”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  6. 06

    Pectoral implant placement MAXORIS™

    Rectangular male chest implants placed through a small incision, closed in three layers for safety and strength, to build the upper chest where training alone had stalled.

    “it follows a beautifully rectangular orientation particularly in the center of the chest to give that middle chest Central chest definition and here on the corner and then it tapers down beautifully towards the armpit”

    Dr. Emer, in the film

Why patients fly in

What Dr. Emer does differently.

Aggressive superficial sculpting on the chest sides and hip bone to create the border of the chest, define the lat muscle, and create the tight waist and taper.

Dr. Emer works in steep angles along the chest sides and hip bone area, removing fat in the superficial layer where muscle definition is carved, not just deeper fat removal.

“this area you need to actually be super aggressive and if you see we have really steep markings there to signify that we want to go really superficial”

Super wet tumescent technique with higher fluid volume than traditional methods to lift tissue and ensure work through the correct planes.

More fluid is placed than older liposculpture methods, lifting everything up so the work happens in the right layer for high definition results.

Renuvion plasma applied to shrink wrap the skin along the chest border and prepare the foundation for chest implants.

Internal plasma tightening is used not just for skin contraction but to create the border definition that makes the implants more defined and helps gland tissue shrink down for easier removal.

“this is going to help his implants um he's creating that Foundation to basically shrink wrap along the border so that the chest implants become more defined but also so that the gland tissue kind of shrinks down is easier to remove”

The session is designed to work with the muscle the patient already has, not replace it, and the patient is encouraged to return to training as the tissue heals.

Dr. Emer sculpts around existing muscle and expects the patient to resume the gym so the result tightens and firms into the new contour.

“we want him now to get back to the gym and you guys will see when he does all of this part here these inet are really get to tighten up”

Vaser ultrasonic technology is essential for high definition and reconstructive cases, allowing removal of scar tissue and correction of irregularities that other methods cannot address.

Ultrasonic liposculpture is the only method that can work in the superficial plane required for muscle definition and fix botched work from other surgeons.

“it's very difficult to remove scar tissue and fix irregularities without ultrasonic lipo”

  1. 01Before

    The starting point

    He had the muscle. The session made it visible.

    This patient arrived trim and athletic, already training consistently. The abs were there under a thin layer of fat on the lower abdomen and sides, the chest had width and tightness but the upper portion was difficult to build, and when he sat down the lower stomach showed the stubborn fat many men carry no matter how much they train.

  2. 02The plan

    What Dr. Emer decided to do

    High definition liposculpture, chest implants, and fat transfer combined in a single session.

  3. 03The session

    In the room, in order

    Dr. Emer removed fat from the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, sides of the chest, and mons pubis using vaser ultrasonic liposculpture. Renuvion plasma was applied internally to tighten the skin and help it shrink wrap to the new contour. Purified fat was transferred to the buttock to add perkiness and fill. Gland tissue was removed from under the areola, and chest implants were placed to build the upper chest where training alone had stalled.

    • Tumescent fluid placement
    • Vaser ultrasonic liposculpture
    • Renuvion plasma tightening
    • Fat transfer to the buttock

The athletic patient who wants definition, not size

This patient arrived trim and athletic, already training consistently. The issue was not weight: it was visibility. The abs were there under a thin layer of fat on the lower abdomen and sides, the chest had width and tightness but the upper portion was difficult to build, and when he sat down the lower stomach showed the stubborn fat many men carry no matter how much they train.

Dr. Emer designed the session to remove fat from the problem areas, sculpt the six pack and chest definition, transfer purified fat to the buttock for a lifted contour, and place chest implants to build the upper chest where training alone had stalled. The result is a complete body plan executed in one visit.

What the Gladiator Lipo session includes

The session starts with tumescent fluid placed throughout the treatment areas to lift the tissue and allow Dr. Emer to work in the correct plane. Fat is removed from the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, sides of the chest, and mons pubis using vaser ultrasonic liposculpture, which allows for precise work in the superficial layer where muscle definition is carved.

Renuvion plasma is applied internally along the upper back, sides, and chest border to tighten the skin and help it shrink wrap to the new contour. The purified fat is transferred to the buttock to add perkiness and fill. Gland tissue is removed from under the areola where lipo cannot reach, and chest implants are placed through a small incision, closed in three layers for safety and strength.

The implants follow a rectangular orientation in the center of the chest to give middle chest definition, tapering toward the armpit where less volume is needed. The entire session is built to work with the muscle he already has, not replace it.

How the session is built

Six moves. One visit.

High definition liposculpture, chest implants, and fat transfer combined in a single session.

  1. 01

    Tumescent fluid placement

    Fluid is placed throughout the treatment areas to lift the tissue and allow work in the correct plane.

  2. 02

    Vaser ultrasonic liposculpture

    Fat is removed from the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, sides of the chest, and mons pubis. Vaser allows precise work in the superficial layer where muscle definition is carved.

  3. 03

    Renuvion plasma tightening

    Internal plasma is applied along the upper back, sides, and chest border to tighten the skin and help it shrink wrap to the new contour.

  4. 04

    Fat transfer to the buttock

    Purified fat is transferred to the buttock to add perkiness and fill. The fat integrates into the skin and becomes more defined as the patient resumes training.

  5. 05

    Gland removal and chest implant placement

    Gland tissue is removed from under the areola where lipo cannot reach. Chest implants are placed through a small incision, closed in three layers for safety and strength.

  6. 06

    Return to training

    The patient is encouraged to return to the gym as the tissue heals, because training helps the result tighten and firm into the new contour.

The treatment, explained

What is Gladiator Lipo?

Also called high definition liposculpture, vaser lipo, ultrasonic liposculpture, renuvion plasma tightening, chest implants, pectoral implants, male body contouring, male body sculpting, ab sculpting, six pack sculpting, fat transfer to buttock, gland excision.

What it is
Gladiator Lipo is a high definition male body sculpting session that combines vaser ultrasonic liposculpture, renuvion plasma skin tightening, chest implants, gland excision and fat transfer in one visit. It is designed for athletic men who already train consistently and want the muscle definition they have earned to be visible. Fat is removed from the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, chest sides and mons pubis in the superficial layer where muscle definition is carved. Renuvion plasma is applied internally to tighten the skin and help it shrink wrap to the new contour. Purified fat is transferred to the buttock to add perkiness and fill. Gland tissue is removed from under the areola where liposculpture cannot reach. Chest implants are placed to build the upper chest where training alone has stalled. The entire session is built to work with the muscle the patient already has, not replace it.
How it works
The session begins with tumescent fluid placement using a super wet technique with higher fluid volume than traditional methods to lift tissue planes and allow superficial sculpting work. Vaser ultrasonic energy is applied to break down fat in the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, chest sides and mons pubis, working in the superficial plane to carve muscle definition. Renuvion plasma is applied internally to the upper back, chest sides and chest border to constrict blood vessels, reduce bruising and swelling, and shrink wrap skin to the new contour. Purified fat harvested from the liposculpture zones is transferred to the buttock to add perkiness and fill. Gland tissue is removed from under the areola through a small incision, leaving a thin layer for safety. Rectangular male chest implants are placed through a small incision and closed in three layers for safety and strength. The patient is encouraged to return to the gym as the tissue heals because training helps the result tighten and firm into the new contour.
Who it is for
Gladiator Lipo is for men who are already athletic, already training consistently, and want the definition their work has earned to be visible. It is not a weight loss procedure. Ideal candidates are trim with stubborn fat in the lower abdomen, sides, flanks and chest that does not respond to diet and training, and who want muscle definition carved out and the upper chest built where training alone has stalled. Candidacy is determined during consultation based on your build, your goals, and whether high definition body sculpting fits your plan.
Recovery
Recovery and return to training are determined during consultation and based on how the session goes. The patient is encouraged to return to the gym as the tissue heals because training helps the result tighten and firm into the new contour. Renuvion plasma helps prevent bruising and swelling by constricting blood vessels. Peptides and aftercare are key to the best result.
When results show
Results are visible immediately after the session and continue to improve as the tissue heals and the patient resumes training. The fat transferred to the buttock integrates into the skin and becomes more defined as the patient works out. The chest implants and sculpted abs and chest border are visible immediately and become more defined as the skin shrinks and the patient returns to the gym. The goal is definition that reads as natural at rest and unmistakable in motion, not overly etched or fake looking.

Superficial sculpting

The sides of the chest and hip bone area require aggressive superficial work to create the border of the chest, define the lat muscle, and create the tight waist and taper.

Asked plainly, answered plainly

What men ask before they book.

Is Gladiator Lipo a weight loss procedure?+

No. Gladiator Lipo is a sculpting session for men who are already athletic, already training consistently, and want the definition their work has earned to be visible. It is not for weight loss. It is for carving muscle definition and building the upper chest where training alone has stalled.

What is vaser lipo and why does it matter for high definition body sculpting?+

Vaser is ultrasonic liposculpture that allows precise work in the superficial layer where muscle definition is carved. It is essential for high definition and reconstructive cases. It is the only method that can remove scar tissue and fix irregularities from botched work that other methods cannot address.

What does renuvion plasma do?+

Renuvion is internal plasma that tightens the skin, constricts blood vessels, and helps prevent bruising and swelling. It helps the skin shrink wrap to the new contour. In this case it was also used to create the foundation along the chest border to make the implants more defined and help gland tissue shrink down for easier removal.

How long until I can train again after Gladiator Lipo?+

You are encouraged to return to the gym as the tissue heals because training helps the result tighten and firm into the new contour. Timing is determined during your consultation and based on how the session goes. Peptides and aftercare are key to the best result.

Will the result look fake or overly etched?+

Dr. Emer designs the session to work with the muscle you already have, not replace it. The goal is definition that reads as natural at rest and unmistakable in motion, not overly etched or fake looking. He expects you to return to the gym so the result tightens and firms into the new contour.

What areas are treated in a Gladiator Lipo session?+

Fat is removed from the flanks, upper back, love handles, lower abdomen, chest sides and mons pubis using vaser ultrasonic liposculpture. Renuvion plasma is applied to the upper back, chest sides and chest border. Purified fat is transferred to the buttock. Gland tissue is removed from under the areola. Chest implants are placed to build the upper chest.

What is the super wet technique?+

The super wet technique uses higher tumescent fluid volume than traditional liposculpture methods to lift tissue planes and ensure work through the correct planes. More fluid is placed to lift everything up so the work happens in the superficial layer required for high definition results.

Why are chest implants placed in a Gladiator Lipo session?+

Chest implants are placed to build the upper chest where training alone has stalled. The rectangular male implants follow the natural orientation of the chest to give middle chest and central chest definition and taper down towards the armpit. They are closed in three layers for safety and strength.
