Correcting problems, not adding size
She did not come in to get bigger. The goal was to fix irregularities and problem areas left by her previous BBLs.
“Her previous BBLs had irregularities and it wasn't to increase her size”

Revision Liposculpture Day 1 Post-Op: Correcting BBL Irregularities | Dr. Jason Emer
One day after a complex revision case, Dr. Emer walks through why this patient came to him and what the procedure corrected.
Open on YouTubeThe plan, procedure by procedure
Every procedure. In order.
This patient came to Dr. Emer after previous BBLs left irregularities, cellulite indentations, looseness and a hernia on her stomach. Her goal was not a larger size but correcting problem areas on her arms, back and stomach. Dr. Emer planned revision liposuction with some fat grafting, smoothing of the indentations and a hernia repair, holding off on a tummy tuck because she plans to have more kids.
-
01
Revision liposuction
Revision liposuction treated her arms and upper back, problem areas that had not been addressed well before.
“I want us to show you just overall her arms, upper backs all treated and looking so much better”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
02
Abdominal definition
Dr. Emer worked to define her stomach, which had many indentations and irregularities from earlier surgery.
“One of the things that we did here was really to define out her stomach because if you look she has tons of indentations irregularities”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
03
Hernia repair
A hernia on her stomach, found alongside looseness in that area, was repaired during the procedure.
“Even right here here she had this looseness and a hernia that we repaired”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
04
Fat grafting
Some fat grafting was done with the liposuction, while the focus stayed on correcting irregularities rather than adding size.
“With some fat grafting. The only thing we did differently was if you look over here the previous BBLs left her with major cellulite indentations”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
05
Cellulite indentation correction
Cellulite indentations and looseness left on her buttock by previous BBLs were smoothed out and evened.
“So you guys could see see on that side we evened it out so it's nice and smooth”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
06
Hyperbaric therapy
Hyperbaric therapy was part of the aftercare she received after surgery.
“We do a ton of after care so right now she is getting Hyperbaric”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
07
Post-op massage
Massage was included in her aftercare to support healing.
“Right now she is getting Hyperbaric massage IV therapies for healing and she's going to do great”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
08
IV therapy
IV therapies were given for healing as part of the same aftercare program.
“Massage IV therapies for healing and she's going to do great”
Dr. Emer, in the film
Why patients fly in
What Dr. Emer does differently.
Thorough pre-op safety screening
Every patient goes through cardiac clearance, including examinations of the heart, before surgery.
“In fact I make everybody go for cardiac clearances including large examinations on the heart”
Saying no when it is unsafe
Dr. Emer respects each patient's choice about her own body, but he will not perform a procedure he believes is unsafe for that person.
“As a physician if I think something is unsafe for somebody I will never perform the procedure”

Why this patient came to Dr. Emer
The patient in this video did not come to Dr. Emer to increase her size. She came because previous BBLs left her with irregularities: cellulite indentations, lumpiness across the buttocks, untreated problem areas on her arms and back, diastasis on her stomach, and a hernia that needed repair.
She had been to numerous doctors who said no. Dr. Emer evaluated her case and determined he could improve the irregularities safely while respecting her goals. This was a revision case, not an enhancement case, and the focus was correction and smoothing.
What the procedure addressed
Dr. Emer performed liposuction with fat grafting to smooth the severe cellulite and indentations left by prior surgeries. The buttocks were evened out, the arms and upper back were treated, and the stomach was defined while repairing the hernia.
One day post-op, the patient is swollen, which is expected. The smoothing is visible on camera when comparing the treated side to the untreated side, and the final result will settle over the following weeks as swelling resolves.
How revision liposculpture works
Four stages. One outcome.
Revision body contouring addresses irregularities from previous surgeries with precision and extensive aftercare.
- 01
Extensive pre-operative clearance
Every patient undergoes cardiac clearance and large examinations on the heart to ensure medical safety before the procedure.
- 02
Liposuction with fat grafting
Irregularities are smoothed using liposuction, and fat grafting is placed to even out indentations and asymmetry.
- 03
Repair and define
Untreated areas like the arms, back, and stomach are addressed, and any hernias or diastasis are repaired during the same session.
- 04
Meticulous aftercare
Post-operatively, patients receive hyperbaric therapy, massage, and IV therapies to support healing and optimize the outcome.
Why Dr. Emer
