Dr. Jason Emer MD · FAAD · FACS

After major weight loss left him lean with loose skin and a deflated buttock, Dr. Emer harvested fat from the front of the body, blended it with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides, placed it by hand to rebuild volume and lift, then performed a buttock roll lift to tighten the skin over the new foundation.

What Dr. Emer did · MAXORIS

Every procedure. In order.

  1. 01

    Liposuction

    Liposuction on the front of the body to harvest fat for grafting. The patient was lean with limited donor fat available.

  2. 02

    Fusion fat grafting to buttock MAXORIS™

    Fat blended with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides, placed into the buttock in layers, massaged by hand to spread evenly and settle into existing tissue. Seven syringes total, half on each side, placed superior medially for a perky, rounded contour.

  3. 03

    Hand massage of graft

    Dr. Emer massaged the grafted fat by hand immediately after placement so it spreads evenly and integrates into the existing fat cells.

  4. 04

    Buttock roll lift MAXORIS™

    Surgical lift to remove loose skin and tighten over the new volume. The skin is folded inward to create a new shape over the rounded foundation built by the graft.

Why patients fly in

What Dr. Emer does differently.

Fat grafting before the lift

Dr. Emer places the fat graft first to rebuild volume, then performs the buttock roll lift over the new foundation. Without the volume underneath, the lift would leave the area flat.

“If you just take the loose skin that somebody has and you remove it, they look flat. It doesn't have shape.”

Fusion blend for lean patients

When donor fat is limited, Dr. Emer blends the harvested fat with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides to maximize graft survival and density.

Hand massage for even distribution

He massages the graft by hand immediately after placement so the fat spreads evenly and settles into the existing tissue, creating a smooth, natural contour.

Male placement technique

For men, Dr. Emer places the graft superior medially, not laterally, to create a perky, athletic shape rather than a wide or exaggerated contour.

“With guys we do it a little bit differently. We don't go laterally. It's more superior medially.”

Hyperbaric oxygen aftercare

The patient follows the procedure with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support graft survival and integration, a protocol Dr. Emer uses to improve outcomes after fat transfer.

Volume and lift after weight loss, built as one plan / Patient story

When weight loss leaves loose skin and no shape

The patient in this video lost a significant amount of weight and arrived with loose skin and a deflated buttock. He is lean now, with very little fat to harvest, but the skin that remains has no structure underneath it.

Dr. Emer's approach is to rebuild the foundation first with fat grafting, then tighten and lift the skin with a buttock roll lift. Removing loose skin alone leaves the area flat. Adding volume before the lift creates the rounded, lifted shape that reads as natural.

What the fusion technique adds

This is not fat grafting alone. Dr. Emer blends the harvested fat with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides before placing it into the buttock. The goal is density and survival: the added biologics are chosen to help the grafted fat integrate and last.

He massages the area by hand after placement so the fat spreads evenly and settles into the existing tissue. The result is a rounded, lifted contour that firms over the following weeks as the graft takes.

    Place and massage

The treatment, explained

What is buttock lift?

Also called buttock roll lift, fat grafting to buttock, fusion fat grafting, BBL after weight loss, male buttock augmentation, butt lift for men, fat transfer to buttock.

What it is
Buttock lift with fusion fat grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds volume and tightens loose skin after major weight loss. Fat is harvested from another area of the body, blended with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides, then placed into the buttock to create a rounded, lifted contour. A buttock roll lift is performed to remove excess skin and tighten over the new foundation.
How it works
Dr. Emer harvests fat through liposuction, blends it with biologics to create the fusion graft, places it into the buttock in layers, and massages it by hand so it spreads evenly and settles into the existing tissue. The buttock roll lift removes loose skin and folds it inward to create a new shape over the volume. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy follows the procedure to support graft survival.
Who it is for
This procedure is for men who have lost significant weight and are left with loose skin and deflated volume in the buttock. Candidates must have enough donor fat available for grafting, though lean patients can still benefit from the fusion technique. The plan is set in consultation based on your anatomy, goals and available fat.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure. The buttock roll lift is a surgical lift with weeks of healing. The fat graft requires careful aftercare to protect the graft and maximize survival. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is part of the protocol. The full recovery timeline and restrictions are set at consultation.
When results show
Results show as swelling resolves and the graft settles. Some of the grafted fat is reabsorbed by the body, and the final volume stabilizes over several months. The buttock roll lift creates immediate tightening, and the skin continues to settle over the new foundation. Some patients build in stages if more volume is desired and enough fat is available.

Asked plainly, answered plainly

What men ask before they book.

Is this the same as a BBL?+

The technique is similar, but the goal is different. This is about rebuilding shape and lift after weight loss, not adding dramatic volume. Dr. Emer uses the fusion technique to maximize graft survival when donor fat is limited, and the buttock roll lift tightens the skin over the new foundation.

How much fat do I need?+

That depends on how much is available to harvest and how much volume you need. Lean patients have less to work with, which is why the fusion blend is used to maximize survival. Dr. Emer assesses your donor sites and goals in consultation.

What is the recovery like?+

Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure. The buttock roll lift is a surgical lift with weeks of healing, and the fat graft requires careful aftercare to protect the graft. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is part of the protocol. The full timeline and restrictions are set at consultation.

Will I need more than one session?+

Some patients build in stages. The first session sets the foundation, and a second session can add more volume if needed and if enough fat is available. Dr. Emer plans the staging based on your anatomy and goals.

How much of the grafted fat survives?+

Some of the grafted fat is reabsorbed by the body, and the final volume stabilizes over several months. The fusion technique, hand massage and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are all used to maximize survival. Dr. Emer discusses realistic expectations in consultation.

Can I sit after the procedure?+

Sitting restrictions depend on the extent of the graft and the buttock roll lift. Dr. Emer gives you specific instructions to protect the graft and the surgical site during healing. The restrictions are set at consultation and adjusted as you heal.

Does Dr. Emer do this for women too?+

Yes. The fusion fat grafting and buttock roll lift technique is used for both men and women after weight loss. The placement and shaping are adjusted based on your anatomy and goals. For women, the program is CELESTA™. For men, it is MAXORIS™.

What is the fusion technique?+

The fusion technique blends harvested fat with stem cells, exosomes, PRP and peptides to improve graft survival, density and integration. Dr. Emer developed this protocol to maximize outcomes when donor fat is limited or when the patient wants the most advanced fat grafting available.
