The Enhanced Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a premium option at Innovations Medical. It builds on our awake micro graft BBL and adds steps focused on maximizing fat cell survival, using options available today such as acoustic wave therapy (AWT), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem cells. For most patients, the standard awake BBL is enough. Like every procedure at Innovations Medical, it is performed by Dr. Bill Johnson, board-certified physician.
What is an Enhanced Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Like our standard awake BBL, an Enhanced BBL involves removing fat from areas like the belly, back, and thighs and transferring it to the buttocks, creating a fuller and more contoured look. What makes it “enhanced” is the added focus on fat cell survival: depending on your plan, Dr. Johnson may add acoustic wave therapy (AWT) to the buttocks and donor areas, PRP or stem cells. How much transferred fat survives still varies from patient to patient. The fat is always placed above the muscle (subcutaneous), not in the muscle, and the procedure is performed awake under tumescent local anesthesia, with no general anesthesia.
Enhanced BBL vs. Our Standard Awake BBL
Both procedures use Dr. Johnson’s awake micro graft technique: fat is removed with liposuction, purified and placed above the muscle in the buttocks, with no general anesthesia. The Enhanced BBL is a premium upgrade that adds options such as AWT, PRP or stem cells to support fat cell survival. For most patients, the standard awake BBL is enough. Compare with our Awake BBL in Dallas (BBL from $7,500 with 1 lipo area), and Dr. Johnson will help you decide at your free consultation whether the upgrade makes sense for you.

The Enhanced Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Procedure Process
Before surgery you will meet with Dr. Johnson to discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan. On the day of surgery, if acoustic wave therapy (AWT) is part of your plan, the procedure begins with AWT on the buttocks and donor areas. Fat is then harvested using liposuction, processed to remove impurities, and placed above the muscle (subcutaneous) in the buttocks. If PRP or stem cells are part of your plan, Dr. Johnson explains how they are used at your consultation. The entire process is performed awake under tumescent local anesthesia, with no general anesthesia. An oral medication at the start and nitrous oxide help keep you comfortable. After the procedure, you will receive detailed care instructions. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising, which usually resolves within a few weeks. You can expect to see continuous improvements in your shape over the next six months.
Results and Recovery
Enhanced BBL provides natural-looking, long-lasting results. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in buttock volume and shape, with full results developing over several months. Recovery is generally quick, allowing most patients to return to normal activities within a few days. Following post-surgery care instructions closely and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help support your results. Results vary.
