Dr. Scottsdale®'s Safer BBL, your own body fat transferred above the muscle for a fuller, rounder, naturally curved buttock.
Safer Brazilian Butt Lift at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata, board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon, at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Scottsdale, AZ board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (a.k.a. Dr. Scottsdale®) has perfected the Brazilian butt lift procedure, a cosmetic enhancement that uses your own body fat transferred to create a fuller, and rounder-looking butt. This procedure is ideal for patients who want a plumper bottom and prefer to use a natural filler rather than artificial implants.
The Safer BBL surgery performed by Dr. Scottsdale® is considered an outpatient procedure, and the patient is, breathing on their own. The Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is performed in our Scottsdale, AZ office, in our sterile surgical center.
One location: Natural Results Plastic Surgery operates from a single office at 7930 E Thompson Peak Parkway, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. This page describes drive time and route from Arcadia to that office.
Arcadia is a neighborhood in central Phoenix located between Camelback Mountain and the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, generally bounded by Indian School Road, 44th Street, and 64th Street. Patients reach the practice via Loop 101 northbound or Tatum Boulevard / 64th Street north.
Drive time: approximately 25 to 35 minutes from Arcadia to the Natural Results office at 7930 E Thompson Peak Parkway in North Scottsdale, via Loop 101 North or SR-51 / Tatum Blvd, approximately 17 miles.
Primary route. Arcadia patients most commonly reach the office by taking 64th Street north to Camelback Road east, joining Loop 101 north, and exiting at Thompson Peak Parkway. State Route 51 north to Loop 101 east is a faster alternative when 64th Street is congested.
Alternate route. Tatum Boulevard north to Shea Boulevard east then Loop 101 north is a surface-street-first alternative that avoids the SR-51 corridor and its 24th Street ramps during weekday rush hours.
On the day of your visit. The office is approximately seventeen miles from central Arcadia. Because Arcadia sits west of Loop 101, expect a longer freeway leg than closer Scottsdale neighborhoods, plan for twenty-five to thirty-five minutes off-peak.
Single location: Natural Results Plastic Surgery has one location, in North Scottsdale, AZ. This page describes the route and drive time for patients coming from this area - we do not have a satellite office here.

The first step of the Safer Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is liposuction. Dr. Carlos Mata (a.k.a. Dr. Scottsdale®) specializes in Vaser Liposuction, a technique using ultrasound technology to break down fat cells. This liposuction technique allows you to get smoother and better results. During the liposuction, the harvested fat stays inside a closed sterile system, which ensures the fat tissue is not exposed to the air.
The second step is transferring the fat to the buttocks. A Safer BBL means that Dr. Scottsdale® uses special equipment like a bigger cannula to safely harvest and transfer the fat above the muscle. Transferring the fat above the muscle for a Brazilian Butt Lift is very important, it reduces the risks of complications like embolism and prevents the fat globules from leaving your buttocks area.
For better and bigger results, especially for patients that want a big buttock, Dr. Mata uses a Pneumodissector. This equipment facilitates tissue dissection by releasing short bursts of carbon dioxide, helping to make more room to add more fat. It's safe and effective.
After surgery, a compression garment is worn to help with the swelling and also assist in the contouring of the buttocks. Lymphatic massages are recommended for a faster recovery.
The patient is advised to not sit or lay down directly on the buttocks for two weeks. BBL pillows or regular pillows are recommended to elevate the buttocks. The goal is to prevent any pressure on the fat, leaving your results intact.
Patients are advised to avoid exercising for at least 6 weeks. Final results, after the swelling and bruising have subsided, usually can be seen within 6-8 weeks.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.
