Serving Cave Creek, AZ, patients reach Dr. Carlos Mata's North Scottsdale office in approximately 22, 32 minutes via Pima Road / Carefree Highway (about 13 miles). 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. During a Brazilian butt lift, fat is suctioned from the hips, lower back, and abdomen, then the fat cells are purified and transferred into the buttocks to obtain smooth curves and shapely lines.
The Safer BBL surgery performed by Dr. Scottsdale® is considered an outpatient procedure, and the patient is under deep sedation, breathing on their own. The Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is performed in our Scottsdale, AZ office, in our sterile surgical center.

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.
The butt lift surgery lasts on average 3 hours, depending on the number of areas that need to be liposuctioned.
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.
