Major weight loss left him lean, with loose skin and no shape underneath.
He arrived lean and committed, but the weight loss left him with loose skin and a deflated buttock. Dr. Emer harvested what fat was available from liposuction on the front of the body, blended it with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides, and placed it into the buttock to rebuild volume and create a rounded, lifted contour.
He massaged the graft by hand so the fat spread evenly and settled into the existing tissue. The next step is a buttock roll lift: the loose skin will be folded inward and tightened over the new foundation. Without the volume underneath, that lift would leave the area flat. With the graft in place first, the skin tightens over a rounded base.
The patient will follow the procedure with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support graft survival, a protocol Dr. Emer uses to improve outcomes after fat transfer.
