The Highlights of an Awake Brazilian Butt Lift

Overview

While fully awake, fat is suctioned from your stomach, thighs, or back and then purified before being injected into the buttocks to enhance size and shape.

Recovery

Downtime for an awake BBL is typically 5-7 days, with most patients returning to work 1 week post-procedure while still considering healing.

Results

You can expect to see contour improvements in the donor area and a larger size and shape in the buttocks about 1-2 months post-procedure.

Are You a Good Candidate for an Awake Brazilian Butt Lift?

You may be a candidate if:

have maintained your ideal body weight for at least 6 months.
have enough excess fat in areas like the stomach, back, or thighs.
are without underlying medical conditions or are in good health.
have great skin elasticity on the buttocks, so they adapt to new volume.
are looking for subtle, not dramatic, results.

The Recovery Timeline for Awake Brazilian Butt Lifts

Week 1

Expect soreness, bruising, and swelling, but this discomfort usually resolves within the first week, and you can return to a desk job and light activities.

Weeks 2-6

Swelling could still linger for up to 6 weeks, so it’s best to avoid hard workouts or heavy lifting. Gentle walking and movement are encouraged.

2 Months+

The results will start to become visible as the swelling disappears, and you can begin to integrate more strenuous activities back into your routine.
