From the filmed session
What Dr. Emer did · CELESTA
Liposuction to the arms, upper back and abdomen to address untreated areas and irregularities left by previous surgeons, removing excess tissue and redefining contour.
“I want us to show you just overall Her Arms Upper backs all treated and looking so much better”
Dr. Emer, in the film
Smoothing of severe cellulite indentations and lumpiness on the buttocks caused by prior BBLs, using liposuction and fat grafting to even the surface.
Strategic fat transfer to fill indentations and create smooth transitions across the buttocks and treated areas.
“it was lightos suction with some fat grafting”
Dr. Emer, in the film
Liposuction and definition of the abdomen to correct indentations and irregularities from previous surgery, staged before future tummy tuck after childbearing.
“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
Surgical repair of abdominal hernia identified during evaluation, performed concurrently with liposculpture.
“she had this looseness and a hernia that we repaired”
Dr. Emer, in the film
Post-operative hyperbaric chamber sessions to accelerate healing and tissue recovery.
“right now she is getting Hyperbaric massage IV therapies for healing”
Dr. Emer, in the film
Manual lymphatic drainage and tissue massage to reduce swelling and optimize contour settling.
“right now she is getting Hyperbaric massage IV therapies for healing”
Dr. Emer, in the film
Intravenous nutrient and healing therapies administered post-operatively to support recovery.

Why patients fly in
The case was not about increasing size but repairing irregularities, cellulite indentations and untreated areas left by previous BBLs.
“her previous bbls had irregularities and it wasn't to increase her size it was to improve problem areas that weren't light bed before like her arms her back”
Every patient undergoes cardiac clearance with comprehensive heart examinations before surgery to ensure medical safety.
“I make everybody go for cardiac clearances including large examinations on the heart”
Dr. Emer declines cases when a procedure is unsafe or not in the patient's best interest, regardless of the patient's request.
“as a physician if I think something is unsafe for somebody I will never perform the procedure”
Post-operative care includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, manual massage and IV therapies to optimize healing and final result.
“we do a ton of after care so right now she is getting Hyperbaric massage IV therapies for healing”
Tummy tuck was deferred because the patient plans more children, prioritizing safe staging over immediate completion.
“she's going to have more kids so we're waiting to do any tummy tucks”
THE THINKING BEHIND THE TREATMENT
Follow Dr. Emer’s approach through the stages described in this case.
Back to the video ↗Previous BBLs left her with severe irregularities. Dr. Emer smoothed the cellulite, treated untreated areas, and repaired a hernia.
The patient in this video did not come to Dr. Emer to increase her size. She came because previous BBLs left her with cellulite indentations, lumpiness across the buttocks, untreated arms and back, diastasis on her stomach, and a hernia that needed repair.
Revision body contouring addresses irregularities from previous surgeries with precision and extensive aftercare.
Dr. Emer performed liposuction with fat grafting to smooth the buttocks, treat the arms and upper back, define the stomach, and repair the hernia. One day post-op, the smoothing is visible on camera, and the final result will settle over the following weeks as swelling resolves.
She underwent extensive pre-operative testing, including cardiac clearance, and is receiving hyperbaric therapy, massage, and IV therapies for healing.
Every patient at Dr. Emer's practice undergoes extensive pre-operative testing, including cardiac clearance and large examinations on the heart. This patient was medically cleared before the procedure.
Post-operatively, she is receiving hyperbaric therapy, massage, and IV therapies for healing. Dr. Emer's aftercare protocol is detailed and meticulous, designed to support recovery and optimize the outcome.

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.
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
Revision body contouring addresses irregularities from previous surgeries with precision and extensive aftercare.
Every patient undergoes cardiac clearance and large examinations on the heart to ensure medical safety before the procedure.
Irregularities are smoothed using liposuction, and fat grafting is placed to even out indentations and asymmetry.
Untreated areas like the arms, back, and stomach are addressed, and any hernias or diastasis are repaired during the same session.
Post-operatively, patients receive hyperbaric therapy, massage, and IV therapies to support healing and optimize the outcome.
The treatment, explained
Also called revision liposuction, BBL revision, cellulite indentation correction, body contouring revision, fat grafting revision, secondary liposuction.

Why Dr. Emer
It is correction: addressing what the first surgery left behind, with precision and extensive pre-operative clearance.
Dr. Emer pioneered high-definition body sculpting techniques that are now taught internationally. He has been performing liposuction for over 15 years, holds two fellowships in body contouring, and is board-certified in dermatology.
Patients come to him for revision cases when previous surgeries left irregularities: cellulite indentations, lumpiness, untreated areas, or asymmetry. He evaluates every case for safety and candidacy, and he does say no when a procedure is not appropriate.
Asked plainly, answered plainly
Yes. Dr. Emer corrects cellulite indentations, lumpiness and asymmetry left by prior BBLs using liposuction to smooth the surface and fat grafting to fill depressions. The case shown here demonstrates correction of severe irregularities one day post-op, with final results settling over the following weeks.
Every patient undergoes cardiac clearance with comprehensive heart examinations before surgery to ensure medical safety. Dr. Emer's pre-operative protocols are extensive and designed to identify any risks before proceeding.
No. Dr. Emer evaluates every case individually and declines procedures he believes are unsafe or not in the patient's best interest, regardless of the patient's request. Patient autonomy is respected, but safety is never compromised.
Yes. In this case, Dr. Emer repaired an abdominal hernia during the same session as the revision liposculpture, addressing both the cosmetic irregularities and the structural issue in one surgery.
Swelling is expected and resolves over the following weeks. Dr. Emer's aftercare protocol includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, manual lymphatic massage and IV nutrient therapies to accelerate healing and optimize the final result. Specific timelines are set at consultation.
The patient plans to have more children, so Dr. Emer staged the procedures, performing the revision liposculpture and hernia repair now and deferring the tummy tuck until after childbearing is complete. This approach prioritizes safety and long-term results.
Smoothing and correction are visible immediately, as shown one day post-op in this case. Final results settle as swelling resolves over the following weeks to months, depending on the extent of revision performed.
Any area previously treated with liposuction or fat grafting can be revised. In this case, Dr. Emer treated the arms, upper back, abdomen and buttocks to correct irregularities and untreated areas left by previous surgeons.
A consultation with Dr. Emer covers your history, your goals, and whether revision liposculpture can correct what previous surgeries left behind.
