America’s interest in cosmetic procedures continues to grow, with social media and the influencer culture playing no small part. As is true for nearly any new advancement, how people feel about body contouring has evolved from skepticism to acceptance. One of the surgeons at the forefront of this shift is Dr. Carlos Mata, also known as Dr. Scottsdale®. A Harvard-trained, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Mata has been helping his patients understand the benefits of aesthetic procedures for over 17 years. Whether he is performing a brow lift, mini facelift, liposuction, or a Brazilian butt lift, he remains focused on his mission: to provide compassionate care that exceeds his patient’s expectations and maintains their privacy and dignity.
Dr. Carlos Mata’s road to becoming a leader in cosmetic surgery
As a student, Dr. Mata beat out hundreds of other applicants to earn a spot at the University of Texas Medical Branch, St. Joseph Medical Center, and the highly regarded MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Upon completing additional training in Harvard’s program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, he received additional instruction in aesthetic surgery in Miami, Florida, and Bogota, Columbia.
Since then, Dr. Mata has been hard at work, bringing his skills to a broad spectrum of patients. At his practice in Scottsdale, Arizona, he has developed a reputation for quality results and amazing follow-up virtually or in-person, that include eyelid and nose surgeries, breast reductions, mommy makeovers, liposuction, skin tightening, and rejuvenation treatments, and a host of non-surgical treatments.
The three cosmetic procedures that Dr. Mata is most known for
An innovator in plastic surgery, Dr. Mata has developed three procedures that have redefined the field of body contouring for men and women alike: the Scottsdale Skinny®, the Gladiator®, and the Magic Shot®.
The Scottsdale Skinny®
Understanding that every patient’s body and goals are different, Dr. Mata created The Scottsdale Skinny®. The comprehensive body contouring makeover incorporates four main procedures, including:
- VASER® liposuction 360,
- Safer Brazilian Butt Lift,
- high-definition abdominal contouring,
- and Magic Tight®, which helps with skin laxity.
The goal of the Scottsdale Skinny® is to help patients achieve a body that is beautiful to them and with a limited number of incisions, usually less than most surgeons.
The Gladiator®
The Gladiator® procedure is a head-to-toe, fully customizable makeover for men. Its most popular treatments include:
- 360 liposuction,
- gynecomastia (removal of male breast tissue) as well as fat transfers to enhance the definition of the pectoral muscles,
- abdominal etching,
- and Brazilian Butt Lift.
Over the past 17 years, Dr. Scottsdale® has mastered this process, and his technique utilizes just one stitch that is very inconspicuous and easy to hide.
The Magic Shot®
The penis filler, aka Magic Shot®, uses an FDA-approved injectable filler and/or fat transfer treatments to add width and overall size to the penis. The 20-minute procedure uses a local anesthetic to ensure patient comfort and has a minimal recovery period.
Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful
As Dr. Mata continues to work with patients from across the United States and abroad, he is deeply committed to helping more people achieve their own definition of beauty. He also believes in using his skills to bless others and continues to go on medical mission trips to developing countries.
With over 25,000 surgical procedures performed, Dr. Mata remains firm in his belief that every person has their own unique beauty that can be enhanced through body sculpting. Helping them to achieve it will always be his life’s work and joy.
Dr. Carlos Mata, aka Dr. Scottsdale®, is a top-rated plastic and cosmetic surgeon and the creator of The Scottsdale Skinny®, The Gladiator®, and Magic Shot®.
