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.

Phoenix is the central city of the Phoenix metropolitan area, located west of Scottsdale. The practice is accessible from most Phoenix neighborhoods via the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) and State Route 51 (Piestewa Freeway). Drive time varies significantly by Phoenix neighborhood, patients from north-central Phoenix areas like Moon Valley typically reach the office faster than those from downtown or south Phoenix.

Primary route. Phoenix patients typically reach the office via State Route 51 (Piestewa Freeway) north to Loop 101 east, then to Thompson Peak Parkway. From central Phoenix, this route runs roughly twenty-two miles and twenty-five to forty-five minutes depending on time of day.

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.
