An Introduction

The Scottsdale Skinny™ is Dr. Mata's signature body contouring procedure — a comprehensive 360-degree sculpting approach that addresses the abdomen, flanks, back, and often arms and thighs in a single session. It's designed for patients who want dramatic, harmonized transformation rather than spot treatment.

01
The Procedure

What Makes It Different

Traditional liposuction focuses on one or two areas. The Scottsdale Skinny treats the entire torso as one sculptural canvas — abdomen, flanks, lower back, upper back, and often extending to the arms or thighs. The result is a harmonized transformation rather than isolated changes.

Every Scottsdale Skinny uses VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction for precise fat removal and optimal skin retraction. High-definition sculpting techniques reveal underlying muscle tone in athletic patients, or produce a smooth, contoured silhouette in patients who prefer a more traditional feminine or masculine shape.

02
Ideal Candidate

Who This Is For

The Scottsdale Skinny is designed for patients within 10–20 pounds of their goal weight who want comprehensive transformation, not spot treatment. Most candidates have tried diet and exercise, maintained their results, and are frustrated by stubborn areas that don't respond further.

It's particularly popular with patients in their 30s and 40s who want to restore or refine their pre-children silhouette, and with athletic patients who want their external contour to match their fitness level.

03
Often Combined With

Pairing With Other Procedures

The Scottsdale Skinny is frequently combined with BBL (using harvested fat to enhance the buttocks), fat transfer to the breasts, or — for patients with significant loose skin — a tummy tuck. This combined approach is sometimes called a full Mommy Makeover when performed in women post-pregnancy.

Dr. Mata will design the specific combination based on your anatomy and goals during consultation. The single-session advantage means one recovery and one anesthesia event.

Recovery

What to Expect

Every patient heals at their own pace. These milestones offer a realistic roadmap based on hundreds of procedures performed by Dr. Mata.

  1. Week 1

    Rest at home. Full-coverage compression garment worn continuously. Walking encouraged daily. Most patients surprised by how manageable pain is.

  2. Week 2

    Return to desk-based work. Swelling peaks around day 7–10. Compression continues. Light activity resumes.

  3. Weeks 3–4

    Compression transitions to part-time. Moderate exercise resumes. Contour becoming visible beneath swelling.

  4. Weeks 6–8

    Full exercise with Dr. Mata's clearance. 70–80% of final result visible. Continued fading of any bruising.

  5. Month 3–6

    Final contour emerges. Small residual swelling resolves. Skin retraction completes.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

01How is this different from regular liposuction?+

Scope and approach. Regular liposuction treats one or two areas; the Scottsdale Skinny treats the entire torso (and often arms/thighs) as a single sculptural project. The VASER technology and high-definition technique also enable more refined results than traditional liposuction alone.

02Will I need a tummy tuck too?+

Not always. If your skin has good elasticity and there's no significant diastasis recti, liposuction alone may be enough. If loose skin or muscle separation is present — common after pregnancy or major weight loss — Dr. Mata may recommend adding a tummy tuck for the best result.

03Can the removed fat be transferred somewhere?+

Yes. Fat harvested during the Scottsdale Skinny is often transferred to the buttocks (BBL), breasts (fat transfer augmentation), or facial volume loss. This is one of the most efficient ways to use your own tissue to enhance other areas.

04How long until I see final results?+

You'll see a dramatic change by week 4–6, but the final contour takes 3–6 months to fully emerge as residual swelling resolves and skin completes retraction. Most patients say the final result was worth the wait.
