BTL Exilis Ultra is a unique device for tightening as it combines two modalities — radiofrequency and ultrasound — to penetrate heat more deeply into the skin, lifting both deep and superficial tissue. The end result is that of a lifted, contoured, and voluminous breast, but also one that is less crepe (much more smooth).

Injectable treatments such as Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), Renuva (synthetic fat), and autologous fat with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be injected into the patient’s breasts to give more volume and contouring at the same time.

If more aggressive treatments are desired in the future such as internal heating with Inmode BodyTite/FaceTite or Renuvion J Plasma, internal threading, or breast lifting, the skin will be healthy, tight, and prepared from the external treatments that it will have less downtime and less risk of complications from a more aggressive approach.

Women aren’t the only ones who can feel the pressure to live up to an aesthetic ideal. More men are seeking to make changes with the help of cosmetic procedures.

Written by Kristi Carignan01.09.2019

In a world of rapidly evolving beauty standards, and where we have instant and continuous access to media and commercial images, women aren’t the only ones who can feel pressure to live up to an aesthetic ideal. More men are seeking to make changes with the help of cosmetic procedures designed specifically for a male audience.

The Rise of Plastic Surgery for Men

From the male corsets of the 1700s to the bodybuilder bulking of the 1980s, there has always been social pressure on men to look a certain way. However, the world today is very different from even 20 years ago: increased access to media images, the invention of social media, awareness of celebrity culture, and a rise in image and video enhancement practices, are all factors that have made men increasingly aware of their appearance.

Culturally and socially, it has become more acceptable for men to have cosmetic surgery. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 1.5 million men went under the knife for cosmetic reasons in 2015. That’s more than three times the number who got work done in 1997.

Los Angeles-based board certified dermatologic surgeon Jason Emer, MD says 60 percent of his patients are male and many of his treatments are designed specifically for them. “Men are finally becoming more open to health, maintenance, prevention, and they want to avoid aging,” says Dr. Emer. “They’re more open to talking about their bodies and want Botox®, peels, skincare, fillers, body sculpting, and the ‘man shot’ to enhance their genitals. Men also want chest surgery using implants and sometimes the feminization of features.”

It’s now easier than ever to receive treatment for issues specific to men. Medical advancements mean that surgery is safer than ever before, downtime is shorter, and perhaps most significantly, the stigma around men getting work done is gradually disappearing. Here are some of the most popular procedures among men today.

BODY SCULPTING

“Men want six-packs, tight abs, and a masculine chest,” according to Dr. Emer, and there are plenty of body sculpting treatments available to help them achieve these goals. Body sculpting, also known as body contouring, uses various methods to shape the body to create a leaner, more toned, and muscular figure, and remove excess fat from areas where it isn’t wanted. It can also help remove excess skin due to weight loss.

High definition liposculpture is one of the most popular surgical procedures offered at Dr. Emer’s clinic. It combines regular liposuction with multiple other technologies, such as lasers, ultrasound, or radiofrequency energy, to remove layers of fat that lie deep under the skin while at the same time sculpting the body into a desirable shape. The process creates a sleeker silhouette, helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite, and is generally used for sculpting the torso and upper arm area.

Dr. Emer often performs liposuction along with a water-assisted Body Jet fat removal system, which helps prevent swelling after surgery, and laser and radiofrequency technologies which heat and tighten the skin and disrupt fat, allowing for fat breakdown and (if applicable) scar tissue removal. He says these combinations result in a more defined and desirable shape.

As with all surgical procedures, there is always some level of risk associated with high definition liposculpture and before embarking on the treatment, every patient needs a thorough consultation with a board certified surgeon to make sure they are a viable candidate. This includes checking the customer’s current health state and lifestyle, as well as addressing any potential allergies that could cause issues with the procedure. The recovery time is dependent on the patient, but most will experience a little discomfort during the first few days, but after two or three weeks should be able to get back to everyday life.

The cost of high definition liposculpture varies widely depending on the provider and how many areas are treated, but can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $50,000.

MALE BREAST REDUCTION

One of the most common aspects of their physique that leads many men to cosmetic surgery is male breasts–fatty deposits in the chest area rather than toned pectoral muscles. Fat naturally appears in the chest as men age or gain weight, but can cause embarrassment and insecurity. Sometimes all the dieting and exercise in the world can’t shift these stubborn fat deposits.

A popular option for male breast reduction is gynecomastia surgery which removes fat and sometimes skin in order to create a sleek and contoured chest area.

For the procedure, the patient is put under general anesthetic and liposuction is used. Small incisions are made under the skin and a cannula is inserted to loosen up the excess fat. Excision is also used to remove excess skin and reshape the area.

The recovery time for this procedure is usually around two to three weeks and the average cost of gynecomastia surgery is between $3,500 and $4,000, according to the ASPS.

GENITAL REJUVENATION

Many men feel insecure about the size and shape of their genitals and some seek cosmetic surgery to help. “Rejuvenation of the genital area using the Priapus Shot® (P-Shot®) or fillers for the penis area are among the most popular procedures for men,” according to Dr. Emer.

The P-Shot® is an injection made up of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which is believed to encourage cell production and help rejuvenate the skin. The procedure claims to produce a larger, more symmetrical penis with fewer wrinkles and a generally more attractive appearance. As well as encouraging growth, the P-Shot® is primarily designed to help men with erectile dysfunction achieve stronger erections, more sexual satisfaction, and increased self-confidence. The recovery time for the P-Shot® is minimal, as it is a non-invasive procedure. Patients are usually advised to undergo two separate treatments to ensure lasting results. The average cost of one procedure is around $1,700, with the second procedure costing about $1,400.

Another type of genital rejuvenation is penile filler. This involves a series of small injections into the genital region, generally into the base of the penis. The filler helps improve the appearance and increase the size of the penis and is often used as a penis enlargement procedure. The average cost of non-surgical procedures for penis enlargement ranges from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on how many injections are needed to achieve the desired result.

FACIAL FILLERS

Dr. Emer highlights that many men are dissatisfied with their facial appearance and “want to improve their complexion, get rid of dark circles under the eyes, remove fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the neck and jawline.” The needs of male patients often differ from females, as they desire attention to slightly different features to achieve a more chiseled, classically masculine look.

Dr. Emer commonly uses short term dermal fillers to address these concerns. Restylane®, a type of dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid, is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, and generally create a more youthful appearance. The effects are likely to last around two to three months. Restylane® syringes cost in the region of $620 each, although in some cases they can be as much as $750 each.

Bellafill® is made with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and is another type of facial filler used to enhance the facial skin’s appearance, create a youthful look, and define jawlines. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars such as those from acne. The effects of this type of filler can be permanent and there are a number of risks associated, including infections, swelling, and lumps. Bellafill® costs around $800 per syringe.

What the Cosmetic Industry Can Offer Men

Men, it seems, want the same thing from their cosmetic procedures as women do: to appear more youthful, healthy, and attractive. “Men want to look masculine, but want lifted, not lateral, cheekbones,” says Dr. Emer. “They want implants in the jawline, hair rejuvenation, and chin augmentation with fillers.” Other popular procedures for men include eyelid surgery, Botox® (or ‘brotox’ as it is now affectionately known to male patients), neck lifts, tummy tucks, laser hair removal, and CoolSculpting.

At Emerage Medical, autologous fat grafting does more than simply add volume. By gently harvesting fat through Body-Jet water-assisted technologies, board-certified dermatologist and fat grafting specialist Dr. Jason Emer is able to obtain beautiful, golden fat, which can be used to shape and sculpt various parts of the body, fill out contours, augment the breasts and buttocks, provide muscular definition, address conditions such as atrophic acne scarring and cellulite, and add volume in hollow or deficient areas.

With such a wide range of applications, it’s no wonder that this harvested, purified fat is often referred to as “Liquid Gold.”

What is Autologous Fat Grafting?

Autologous fat grafting refers to fat that is derived from your own body (typically from the arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs) and then strategically injected back into the body in specific areas. The extracted fat is purified through Puregraft microfiltration, which removes any contaminants, oil, debris, and blood from the solution.

Fat grafting expert Dr. Jason Emer then enriches the fat with beneficial stem cells (such as ACell), growth factors, exosomes, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood. Once it has been harvested, purified, and enriched, this viable and sustainable fat can be used to lift, shape, sculpt, add volume and definition, and provide additional contour.

Dr. Emer uses autologous fat grafting to provide a wide range of improvements, including:

• Facial volumization, contouring and sculpting
• Atrophic acne scarring improvement
• Cheek and temple augmentation
• Lip augmentation
• Natural breast augmentation
• Muscular definition, contouring, and volumization
• Surgical buttock augmentation / Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
• Non-surgical penile enlargement
• Non-surgical vaginal beautification^TM
• Improving indentations, cellulite, or dimpling in the skin
• Refilling and camouflaging indentations and irregularities from previous botched procedures

The purified fat can even be filtered down to a specialized “nano-fat” to treat thinner skin (e.g. hand rejuvenation) and rejuvenate smaller areas of the body, such as the eyelids, eyebrows, earlobes, and forehead. Fat and stem cells can also be harvested and stored for future use, when joint, wellness, anti-aging, and longevity procedures are required.

Facial Sculpting with Fat Grafting

For non-surgical facial sculpting, lifting, and contouring, Dr. Emer uses fat grafting as well as strategically placed dermal fillers, silicone injections, Sculptra (a natural collagen stimulator), and/or Renuva synthetic fat grafting (donor fat derived from cadavers) to:

• correct facial volume loss
• fill dents and indentations
• improve under eye hollows and dark circles
• augment the cheeks, temples, and lips
• improve overall facial balance

Improving Atrophic Acne Scars with Fat Grafting

Dr. Emer’s volumetric treatment for atrophic or depressed acne scars includes autologous fat grafting for deep volume improvement and semi-permanent dermal fillers (such as Bellafill) to help fill the scar over time. These injectables are combined with a procedure called subcision, in which a sharp needle or cannula is used to break apart and elevate tethered down scars.

Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting

For women seeking a natural Breast Augmentation without implants, Dr. Emer combines autologous fat grafting with PRP to provide minor lifting and volumization to the breasts. Dr. Emer’s expert plastic surgeons and breast augmentation specialists also use fat in conjunction with surgical Breast Augmentation procedures (with implants) to provide additional fullness and roundness to the upper breasts.

Body Shaping with Fat Grafting

In the hands of body sculpting expert Dr. Jason Emer, autologous fat grafting can also be used to add volume, contour, and definition to the abdominals, chest, arms and shoulders, legs, and calves to create a more muscular and athletic figure.

Fat grafting is a common and effective method of treatment for male chest contouring, which aims to lift the chest and increase the size of the chest muscles. Occasionally, surgical implants may be required to obtain significant sculpting in the chest area.

Dr. Emer also specializes in gynecomastia repair (to address “man boobs”), which involves a non-traditional combination approach that includes fat removal, contouring and sculpting with Hi-Definition Liposuction, gland removal, nipple lifting, and internal “shrink wrap” skin tightening with Renuvion (J-Plasma) and InMode BodyTite. Dr. Emer then uses fat grafting to rebuild the chest muscle and create a defined, sculpted, and athletic upper body.

Men who have had previous botched surgeries in the chest area are often left with unintended indentations, irregular contouring, and chest sagging. Revision surgeries to correct these botched procedures (especially in the chest area) are extremely difficult and often require numerous procedures to obtain substantial improvement. For this reason, it is vital that chest sculpting and gynecomastia repair procedures be performed by a board-certified expert in liposculpting and fat grafting to ensure the most successful outcome.

Buttock Augmentation with Fat Grafting

For men and women alike, Dr. Emer uses harvested, purified fat to lift and project the buttocks. For patients who lack definition, size, and/or shape in the buttocks, Dr. Emer provides lipo-contouring to the areas surrounding the buttocks and then re-injects the purified fat to the buttocks, thighs and hips to create the desired shape. Permanent Buttock Augmentation results are typically seen after 6 to 12 months and can be complemented with:

• robust, volumizing, semi-permanent dermal fillers (such as Bellafill)
• BellaLift, Dr. Emer’s newest combination, which features the lifting properties of Voluma and the long-lasting, collagen-building benefits of Bellafill
• collagen-stimulating Sculptra
• semi-permanent fillers + natural collagen stimulators (e.g. Bellafill + Sculptra)
• additional fat as desired

For greater enhancement, Dr Emer may suggest buttock implants for significant improvement in size and projection.

In recent years, Brazilian Butt Lifts have become one of the most popular treatments at Emerage Medical, particularly for Dr. Emer’s female patients. Using an innovative combination approach, Dr. Emer uses fat grafting to create an attractive and athletic S-Curve (or “Emer Hourglass” figure), lift and shape the buttocks, build out the hips to make the waist appear smaller, and improve cellulite in the buttocks and thighs (with the aid of Cellfina, Sculptra, subcision, and Bellafill as well as shockwave therapy treatments).

Penile Enlargement and Rejuvenation with Fat Grafting

Penile enlargement, also known as the “Man Shot,” is an increasingly popular trend for men looking to rejuvenate the look of their penis and increase their girth through natural means. Dr. Emer may choose to complement penile fat grafting with PRP, stem cells (ACell), exosomes, dermal fillers, and autologous lipocyte micronized injections (ALMI) to improve the final outcome. Stem cell therapy in particular can also enhance sexual gratification.

At the same time, shock therapy treatments and penile lymphatic massage (with devices such as Cellutone, eVive, and Z-Wave) can be used to increase blood flow in the area and improve erectile dysfunction. Patients can typically resume their normal activities 2 to 4 weeks after undergoing a penile fat grafting treatment.

Vaginal Beautification^TM with Fat Grafting / Labia Majora Augmentation

Dr. Emer uses fat grafting and PRP injections to address numerous concerns in the vaginal area, including appearance (wrinkles), dryness, sensitivity, and sexual pleasure. While large volumes of fat can plump and restore volume to the labia majora, nano-fat grafting and PRP can be injected into the clitoris and the G-spot in order to increase sensation and libido, improve dryness and sensitivity, and enhance overall pleasure and sexual desire.

How long do fat grafting improvements last?

When injected strategically and meticulously by an experienced injector, autologous fat transfers can provide permanent improvement in volumization, skin tone, texture, and contouring. Results are normally not evident until 6 to 12 weeks after the procedure.

Although fat transfer results are permanent, not all fat will survive. To obtain the most viable, sustainable fat cells, fat grafting expert Dr. Emer employs gentle, water-assisted fat harvesting to obtain the purest fat possible. He then combines it with PRP, stem cells (ACell), and exosomes (and occasionally Sculptra) to ensure the longevity of the fat grafting procedure.

In most studies, about 50% of transferred fat is retained after an initial treatment, but it’s impossible to know for certain how much fat will survive or how often maintenance treatments will be required. A series of fat grafting treatments is often needed to adequately produce the desired enhancements.

Is fat grafting painful?

As with any injectable treatment, there may be some sensitivity, discomfort, or redness in the treatment area following a fat grafting procedure. To minimize pain and discomfort for his patients, Dr. Emer uses topical numbing for small treatment areas and general anesthesia or local nerve blocks for larger treatment areas.

What is the downtime for fat grafting?

There is minimal downtime following an autologous fat transfer procedure. Although swelling may persist for up to 2 weeks after injection, most patients can resume everyday activities immediately following the treatment.

The post Autologous Fat Grafting provides permanent volumization, shaping, sculpting, and muscular definition enhancements appeared first on Jason Emer MD.

Scars, divots, defects, and depressions in our skin can put a serious dent in our self-confidence. Whether the result of aging, volume loss, injuries, acne, cellulite, prior surgeries, or botched procedures, these textural irregularities detract from our natural beauty and adversely affect our overall appearance. For years, patients have sought out Dr. Jason Emer’s unrivaled expertise with non-surgical cosmetic enhancements to obtain smooth, indentation-free skin. A board-certified dermatologist specializing in facial rejuvenation and body contouring, Dr. Emer uses a range of devices, treatments, and methodologies to achieve a flawless, even skin texture, including innovative approaches such as Renuva Adipose Matrix synthetic fat grafting.

While dermal fillers and autologous fat grafting are both popular injectable treatments for small-volume irregularities and textural improvements in the skin, these methods are not ideal for some patients. Dermal fillers are only a short-term solution, and autologous fat grafting (using fat from your own body) is not an option for those who are too lean or athletic or those who are apprehensive about a Hi-Definition Liposuction procedure. Thanks to advancements in regenerative medicine, Renuva Adipose Matrix is an effective, FDA-approved, permanent solution that uses purified synthetic fat derived from donors.

Dr. Emer uses this small-area volumetric treatment to address a wide range of concerns and irregularities, including:

• minor defects, divots, or indentations in the skin
• cellulite or dimpling in the thighs and buttocks
• facial volume loss, hollows, and folds
• facial contouring and sculpting, including augmentation of the temples, cheeks, and lips
• atrophic acne scars
• hand rejuvenation
• muscular definition, contouring, and volumization in the chest, shoulders, abdominals, biceps, and calves
• natural breast augmentation
• non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
• non-surgical penile enlargement

How does Renuva work?

Renuva is an allograft (i.e. a tissue graft from a donor) adipose matrix specifically designed to treat small-volume aesthetic irregularities. The product is derived from cadavers’ fat cells, which are meticulously tested, screened, and purified. The fat cells are also hydrated in fluid to ensure smooth administration to the desired treatment areas.

Once injected, Renuva forms a matrix or supportive framework beneath the skin and recruits your existing surrounding fat cells to repopulate and build volume in the area. The result is an instant plumping effect, enhanced long-term collagen production, and improved skin texture and tone over the course of 3 to 6 months. After that period of time, Dr. Emer can determine if additional treatments would be beneficial to further improve the results.

Dr. Emer often combines both Renuva Adipose Matrix and autologous fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Sculptra injections to provide additional volume and collagen production.

How long do Renuva improvements last?

When injected properly, both synthetic fat grafting and autologous fat transfers offer permanent improvement in skin tone, texture, volume, and contouring. A series of treatments are often needed to adequately produce the desired textural and volume enhancements. Dr. Emer recommends that his patients schedule Renuva treatments every 6 to 12 weeks until optimal improvement is achieved.

How does Dr. Emer do it differently?

Non-surgical treatments require innovative combination approaches to achieve visible, long-term improvements. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jason Emer is a pioneer of countless combination procedures — all customized to meet the unique needs of each individual patient — that pair groundbreaking products like Renuva with new modes of treatment, advanced technologies, revolutionary techniques, and state-of-the-art devices to dramatically improve the skin’s appearance.

• For non-surgical facial sculpting and contouring, Dr. Emer uses strategically placed fillers (such as Voluma, Radiesse, and Bellafill), silicone injections, Sculptra, autologous fat grafting, and/or Renuva synthetic fat grafting to correct volume loss; fill indentations; improve under eye hollows and dark circles; augment the cheeks, temples, and lips; and improve overall facial balance.
• Dr. Emer’s volumetric treatment for atrophic or depressed acne scars includes Renuva Adipose Matrix for deep volume improvement and semi-permanent dermal fillers (such as Bellafill) to help fill the scar over time. These injectables are combined with a procedure called subcision, in which a sharp needle or cannula is used to break apart and elevate tethered down scars.
• Hand rejuvenation is best achieved with a combination of dermal fillers (such as Restylane, Radiesse, and Belotero), autologous fat grafting or Renuva Adipose Matrix, PRP, chemical peels, and non-ablative laser skin resurfacing.

• As part of his highly popular Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, in which fat is injected into the buttock for contouring and lifting, Dr. Emer often complements fat grafting with semi-permanent fillers such as Bellafill and Renuva synthetic fat grafting for added volume and definition as well as improvement in cellulite and indentations; Sculptra injections to stimulate collagen production and create additional volume and lift; non-surgical thread lifting with Silhouette InstaLift; radiofrequency (RF) energy treatments (such as Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, Thermage, and InMode Forma/Contoura) to promote skin tightening and stimulate collagen production; and vibration / shockwave therapy treatments (Cellutone, eVIVE, and ZWave) to improve the skin’s texture and aid in cellulite reduction.

• For patients with cellulite and/or dimpling on the buttocks or thighs, Dr. Emer creates a patient-tailored treatment plan that typically includes Cellfina for cellulite; Renuva Adipose Matrix or autologous fat injections; injectable fillers like Bellafill; Sculptra for large-area collagen production; energy-based devices like Exilis Ultra and Venus Legacy for skin tightening; and shockwave therapy devices (Cellutone, eVIVE, or ZWave) for further textural improvement.

• For women seeking a natural breast augmentation without implants, Dr. Emer combines Renuva Adipose Matrix or autologous fat grafting with PRP to provide minor lifting and volumization of the breasts. Dr. Emer’s expert plastic surgeons and breast augmentation specialists also use fat in conjunction with surgical breast augmentation procedures to provide additional fullness and roundness to the upper breasts.

Is Renuva safe?

Yes, Renuva Adipose Matrix is safe for use for all individuals. The donor fat is screened, tested, and purified prior as part of the manufacturing process, minimizing the risk of infection or complications.

What is the downtime for Renuva?

As with any injectable treatment, there may be some sensitivity, discomfort, or redness in the treatment area, but there is minimal downtime following the procedure. Although swelling may persist for up to 2 weeks after injection, patients can resume everyday activities immediately following the treatment.

Am I a good candidate for Renuva Adipose Matrix?

While Renuva has a wide range of applications, synthetic donor fat is primarily intended for small-volume improvements, such as atrophic scars, cellulite, and stubborn dimples. For those seeking high-volume enhancements, Dr. Emer may propose alternative solutions, including autologous fat transfer via a Hi-Definition Liposuction procedure and/or surgical implants for significant improvement. A combination of Renuva with Sculptra or Bellafill may also provide a greater degree of volumization. To determine if Renuva is the best solution for you, schedule a formal evaluation with a board-certified dermatologist and fat grafting specialist like Dr. Emer, who can assess your needs and create a long-term treatment plan to meet your aesthetic goals.

A proper “Mommy Makeover” evaluation requires a great deal of planning to ensure the most improvement. This female was bothered by her excessively large, heavy breasts and loose skin on her stomach after pregnancy. The stretch marks on her stomach also really made her quite self-conscious about showing off her skin. A breast reduction and lift to improve her heavy breasts and a nipple areolar reduction was performed to improve her overall look and decrease the weight of her breasts, while reducing the size of her areolas at the same time. The skin of her stomach was removed with a full abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) with tightening of the abdominal muscles to give her a more flat and tight look while also performing a little liposuction of the sides to further enhance her curves. The #beforeandafter body transformation is life changing for her and @robertcohenMD left her with an incredible new physique. If you’re looking to transform your figure, email appointments@jasonemermd.com for a consultation.

The Procedure

The Mommy Makeover consists of a number of head-to-toe procedures, and the exact details vary depending on multiple factors. For example, the combination surgery may include hi-definition liposuction for body sculpting and contouring. A tummy tuck (full or mini) can be used to remove extra skin and tissues from your abdomen. It also tightens the muscles to restore good abdominal tone. Breast surgery and vaginal beautification^TM, which usually involve skin removal and tightening, can also be used to restore these areas. To learn more about how Dr. Emer performs the Mommy Makeover, click here.

A Patient-Tailored Surgery

With a Mommy Makeover, you can get all of the treatments that you need to look your best in one general procedure. The surgery can be totally customized based on your wants and needs. If you have cellulite, for instance, we can address this using specialized techniques like Cellfina, fat grafting and Sculptra, just to name a few.
