What Dr. Emer did · MAXORIS

Every procedure. In order.

  1. 01

    Super wet tumescent technique

    Overfilled tumescent fluid into thick, scarred tissue to lift it, hydrate fat cells and push scar tissue away from the surgical plane before ultrasonic liposuction.

    “So we are going to overfill. This is what we call a super wet technique.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  2. 02

    VASER ultrasonic liposuction MAXORIS™

    Ultrasonic energy broke apart scar tissue from previous surgery, pushed fat cells aside for contouring, and the steam heat from the ultrasound smoothed and shrank scar tissue.

    “This is not only going to push fat cells aside, making him slimmer, more contoured, and reduce fat, but the steam heat from the ultrasound will smoothen out any scar tissue, will shrink it.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  3. 03

    Renuvion plasma skin tightening

    Plasma energy shriveled scar tissue, smoothed indentations and irregularities, and tightened skin for a more even contour.

    “This will actually literally shrivel that scar tissue, smoothing out indentations and irregularities and just making a lot more even.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  4. 04

    MAXORIS™ liposuction contouring MAXORIS™

    Removed fat to even out previous indentations, slim the torso and develop a V-taper silhouette.

    “we're going to slim him and give him more contour”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  5. 05

    Chest sculpting with fat grafting

    Purified fat with stem cells and exosomes grafted to sculpt and define chest borders, remove puffy tissue, and lift and define the chest.

    “We're going to sculpt and define the borders. We're going to remove any puffy tissue, and we're also going to lift it and make it more defined.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  6. 06

    Abdominal fat grafting

    Small amount of purified fat placed into the fascia and muscle to volumize areas where prior surgery created indentations.

    “I'm going to put a little bit of fat into the fascia, the muscle, so that I can build that muscle just a little bit up and kind of volumize it.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  7. 07

    Internal hernia repair

    Hernia repaired from inside by tightening the hole and placing fat that came from inside the belly back into the area, closing the hernia without external incisions or scars.

    “So instead of opening the hernia from the outside and leaving him with scar, I'm fixing it from the inside.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film
  8. 08

    Abdominal filler enhancement

    After healing and resuming workouts, a combination of permanent and non-permanent filler placed into the tissue and fascia of the muscle to create ab definition.

    “we waited a little bit to let some healing go on, have him start working out. And now, we're going to use the um a combination of a permanent filler and a non-permanent filler to build out the area.”

    Dr. Emer, in the film

Why patients fly in

What Dr. Emer does differently.

Technology used correctly to reverse prior damage

He sees revisions caused by aggressive technique, poor aftercare or improper use of technology. His plan uses VASER, Renuvion and fat grafting properly to break apart scar tissue, reshape the body and restore contour.

“what we're going to do today is go in there, use these technologies in the right way to reshape him, give him a better contour”

Scar tissue released before contouring

In revision cases he uses VASER ultrasonic energy to break apart scar tissue first, then Renuvion plasma to shrivel and smooth it, rather than simply removing more fat.

Hernia repaired from inside without external scars

He closed the hernia from the inside by tightening the hole and placing fat back into the area, avoiding an external incision and the scar it would leave.

“So instead of opening the hernia from the outside and leaving him with scar, I'm fixing it from the inside.”

Ab definition staged after healing and training

The ab filler was placed after he had healed and started working out, with careful placement into the tissue and the fascia of the muscle to adhere and create definition.

“we waited a little bit to let some healing go on, have him start working out.”

  1. 01Before

    The starting point

    In certain lighting and with movement, the irregularities were visible.

    This patient is athletic and fit, but previous body contouring left him with scar tissue, skin that would not contract properly, and lost definition in the abs. Other procedures had also affected the chest area, which was never treated well in the first place.

    “There's scar tissue that developed after previous surgery, and he lost some definition in his abs. He had other procedures that also played a role.”DR. JASON EMER · FROM THE VIDEO
  2. 02The plan

    What Dr. Emer decided to do

    Breaking apart scar tissue, rebuilding contour, repairing a hernia, and enhancing abs and chest in one plan.

    “We're going to remove any puffy tissue, and we're also going to lift it and make it more defined. There's ways to do that with implants and fat. Today we're going to use fat grafting and we're going to use a lot of plasma.”DR. JASON EMER · FROM THE VIDEO
  3. 03The session

    In the room, in order

    Dr. Emer corrected it all in one session: ultrasonic lipo to break apart scar tissue, Renuvion plasma to smooth irregularities, fat grafting to rebuild the chest, hernia repair from inside without external incisions, and strategic filler placement to enhance the abs. The result is a body that reads as contoured, defined, and natural.

    What changed

    “So, we have now defined out the sides, the middle, we've made the stomach where his natural muscle is become a little bit more defined. So, my goal now is we need those abs to pop.”DR. JASON EMER · FROM THE VIDEO

When prior surgery left scar tissue and lost definition / Patient story

Athletic and fit. But the prior surgery left scar tissue.

In certain lighting and with movement, the irregularities were visible.

When prior surgery leaves scar tissue and lost definition

The patient in this video is athletic and fit, but previous body contouring left him with scar tissue, skin that would not contract properly, and lost definition in the abs. In certain lighting and with movement, the irregularities were visible. Other procedures had also affected the chest area, which was never treated well in the first place.

This is a revision case, and Dr. Emer is seeing more of them lately. When technology is used too aggressively, without proper aftercare, or without the right technique, scar tissue develops and definition fades over time. This session addresses all of it: the scar tissue, the chest, the abs, and a hernia, in one plan.

How the revision is built

Dr. Emer starts with a super wet technique, overfilling the area with tumescent fluid to lift the tissue and push scar tissue away. The skin is thick from prior surgery, so more fluid is necessary to separate the layers and prepare for the next steps.

Ultrasonic liposuction (Vaser) is then used to break apart scar tissue and push fat cells aside. The steam heat from the ultrasound shrinks and smooths the scar tissue. When the fat is removed, it appears whitish, a sign of heavy scar tissue mixed in. Some of that will be purified out for grafting, but removing it allows the skin to tighten significantly.

Renuvion plasma is applied next. Dr. Emer describes it as a game changer for loose skin and scar tissue like this. The plasma shrivels the scar tissue, smoothing out indentations and irregularities and creating a more even surface.

How a full body revision is built

Five moves. One session.

Breaking apart scar tissue, rebuilding contour, repairing a hernia, and enhancing abs and chest in one plan.

  1. 01

    Super wet technique and ultrasonic lipo

    Tumescent fluid is overfilled to lift tissue and push scar tissue away. Ultrasonic lipo (Vaser) breaks apart scar tissue and pushes fat cells aside. The steam heat from the ultrasound shrinks and smooths scar tissue.

  2. 02

    Renuvion plasma to smooth irregularities

    Renuvion plasma is applied to shrivel scar tissue, smooth out indentations and irregularities, and create a more even surface.

  3. 03

    Fat grafting to rebuild the chest

    Purified fat, with stem cells and exosomes added to help it survive, is grafted to sculpt and define the chest borders, remove puffy tissue, and lift and define the chest.

  4. 04

    Hernia repair from inside

    The hernia is repaired from the inside, without opening the skin from the outside. The hole is tightened and the fat that came from inside the belly is placed back into the area, closing the hernia without external incisions.

  5. 05

    Strategic filler to enhance the abs

    A combination of a permanent filler and a non-permanent filler is placed into the abs, adhering into the tissue and into the fascia of the muscle to create more definition. A small amount of fat is also placed into the fascia and muscle to volumize areas where prior surgery created indentations.

The treatment, explained

What is revision body contouring?

Also called revision liposuction, scar tissue removal, VASER liposuction, Renuvion plasma, chest sculpting, fat grafting, ab enhancement, hernia repair, MAXORIS™ body sculpting.

What it is
Revision body contouring corrects scar tissue, irregularities and lost definition from prior surgery. Dr. Emer uses VASER ultrasonic liposuction to break apart scar tissue, Renuvion plasma to smooth and tighten skin, fat grafting to rebuild contour, and strategic filler placement to enhance definition. This case included chest sculpting, internal hernia repair, and ab enhancement in one session.
How it works
Tumescent fluid is overfilled to lift tissue and push scar tissue away. VASER ultrasonic energy breaks apart scar tissue and the steam heat smooths and shrinks it. Renuvion plasma shrivels remaining scar tissue and tightens skin. Purified fat with stem cells and exosomes is grafted to rebuild the chest and volumize indented areas. A hernia is repaired from inside by tightening the hole and placing fat back into the area. After healing, a combination of permanent and non-permanent filler is placed into the abs and fascia to create definition.
Who it is for
Candidates are patients with scar tissue, irregularities or lost definition from prior body contouring surgery. Ideal candidates are athletic and fit but have visible irregularities in certain lighting or with movement, skin that does not contract properly, or areas that were not treated well in previous procedures. A consultation determines whether revision is appropriate and what the plan will address.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the scope of the revision, the amount of scar tissue, and the procedures performed. Patients typically resume light activity within days and full workouts within weeks. Compression garments are worn during healing. Swelling resolves over weeks to months. The plan and timeline are set at consultation.
When results show
Results show as swelling resolves over weeks to months. Skin tightens, contour evens out, and definition becomes visible. Fat grafting and filler results mature over weeks. Final results are visible at three to six months. Maintenance depends on the procedures performed and is discussed at consultation.

About Dr. Emer Schedule Consultation
EMER METHOD™×RECODEX™

Scar tissue is addressed first

Ultrasonic lipo and Renuvion plasma break apart and shrivel scar tissue, smoothing irregularities and allowing the skin to tighten.

Fat grafting rebuilds contour

Purified fat, with stem cells and exosomes added, is grafted to rebuild the chest and volumize areas where prior surgery created indentations.

Filler enhances definition

Strategic filler placement into the abs and fascia creates definition that reads as natural and contoured.

Hernia repair without external scars

The hernia is repaired from inside, tightening the hole and placing fat back into the area, with no external incisions.

Asked plainly, answered plainly

What patients ask before they book a revision.

What makes this a revision case?+

This patient had prior body contouring that left scar tissue, lost ab definition, skin that was not contracting properly, and a small hernia. Dr. Emer corrected all of it in one session by breaking apart scar tissue, rebuilding contour, repairing the hernia from inside, and enhancing definition.

How is scar tissue removed in revision body contouring?+

VASER ultrasonic liposuction breaks apart scar tissue and the steam heat from the ultrasound smooths and shrinks it. Renuvion plasma then shrivels the remaining scar tissue, smoothing indentations and irregularities for a more even contour.

What is the super wet technique?+

The super wet technique overfills tumescent fluid into thick, scarred tissue to lift it, hydrate fat cells and push scar tissue away from the surgical plane before liposuction. This is necessary in revision cases where scar tissue is present.

How is the chest sculpted without implants?+

Dr. Emer uses fat grafting with stem cells and exosomes to sculpt and define the chest borders, remove puffy tissue, and lift and define the chest. The fat is purified and placed strategically to create a gladiator chest contour.

How is a hernia repaired from inside?+

The hernia is repaired from inside by tightening the hole and placing fat that came from inside the belly back into the area. This closes the hernia without opening the skin from the outside and avoids leaving an external scar.

What is used to enhance ab definition?+

After healing and resuming workouts, a combination of permanent and non-permanent filler is placed into the tissue and fascia of the muscle. The filler adheres into the tissue and fascia to create definition that reads as natural and contoured.

Why is ab filler placed after healing instead of during surgery?+

Dr. Emer waited for healing and for the patient to start working out before placing ab filler. This allows the tissue to settle and the natural muscle to show, so the filler can be placed precisely to enhance definition where it is needed.

What is the recovery like for a full body revision?+

Recovery depends on the scope of the revision, the amount of scar tissue, and the procedures performed. Patients typically resume light activity within days and full workouts within weeks. Compression garments are worn during healing. Swelling resolves over weeks to months. The plan and timeline are set at consultation.
