Meet Dr. Carlos Mata, otherwise known as Dr. Scottsdale. He’s a master of his craft with over 17 years of experience in helping his patients look their best. In this time, he’s made a name for himself as a leading plastic surgeon, and he’s highly regarded by his peers and the Scottsdale, AZ, community.
So how did Dr. Scottsdale become a household name in the plastic surgery industry?
About Dr. Carlos Mata (AKA Dr. Scottsdale)
Dr. Mata has studied the science behind his craft at some of the country’s greatest universities, including Texas A&M, the University of Texas, and even Harvard. It was his education that initially sparked an interest in plastic surgery. He said he “saw the range of things a plastic surgeon could do. such as cleft lip, traumatic injuries, aesthetic makeovers, cancer reconstruction, and hand surgeries.” He notes that a plastic surgeon is a surgeon’s surgeon, meaning they operate from head to toe, and they’re the “who ya gonna call” experts when a surgeon has an issue that they can’t fix.
After graduating, he got some real-world practice by serving in the US Army as the Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It’s not every day that you see a plastic surgeon with military experience, but Dr. Mata credits his time in the Army for much of the success that he’s seen since. He says, “Military training taught me how to be focused and detail-oriented, and it gave me the opportunity to learn more about the human body.”
Today, he’s known as Dr. Scottsdale, a loving moniker that acknowledges his commitment to the community of Scottsdale, AZ. Thanks to his education and skill, he’s become a well-known and highly praised plastic surgeon. His practice, Natural Results Plastic Surgery, is a cornerstone of the Scottsdale community, and it’s there that Dr. Mata transforms the human body.
His choice to become a plastic surgeon comes from a deeply rooted desire to help others. He notes, “I love to help people feel better about themselves.” It’s this desire that motivates him to travel around the world for medical mission trips, performing cleft lip and palate surgeries on children in third-world countries.
When he isn’t in the operating room or doing volunteer work, Dr. Mata enjoys spending his free time with his two children and his wife, Janneth. If you’ve ever been to his practice, you’ve probably met Janneth and know her as Nurse Scottsdale. However, at the end of the day, he prefers to disconnect from the office and focus just on his family — he’s particularly proud of his ability to balance his personal life and his work life, and he believes it helps him be better at his job.
Using Liposuction to Spark Confidence and Self-Love
Dr. Mata has made a living by sculpting bodies and restoring confidence with liposuction. Having performed over 30,000 cosmetic procedures, he’s made the RealSelf Top 100 list for two years in a row, and his stunning results have earned him acclaim from patients all over the world.
In his practice, he primarily uses the ultrasonic waves of Vaser Liposuction to gently break down fat cells and leave minimal scarring. Dr. Mata loves this tech because it helps him achieve smooth results and requires only minimal downtime, helping patients enjoy a short recovery time and quickly return to their daily routines.
His philosophy is achieving natural-looking results that bring out his patients' true beauty. That’s why his motto is “Be your own kind of beautiful.” So rather than striving for perfection or sculpting generic bodies that fit societal norms, Dr. Mata believes in enhancing his patients' unique features and helping them love their bodies. While some people cave to the pressures of society and do whatever it takes to create a picture-perfect bikini bod or that chiseled figure that male supermodels are known for, many people actually respect and value Dr. Mata’s loving approach to plastic surgery, and those who choose him come to love their own bodies so much more than they ever thought possible.
It’s this philosophy that sets Dr. Mata apart in the liposuction industry, but he’s also known for his holistic, personalized approach. Before starting treatment, he sits down with his patients to discuss their goals and tailor a personalized strategy that fits their individual needs. It's genuine connections like these that help him sculpt a beautiful body that complements a person’s natural qualities and meets their unique goals.
As a result, Dr. Mata delivers natural-looking outcomes that exceed expectations, and his patients consistently rave about his positive results.
A Leader in Innovative Plastic Surgery Techniques
As a leader in the field of plastic surgery, Dr. Mata keeps himself informed of the latest developments in liposuction technology and techniques. He regularly steps out of the office to attend conferences and participate in training programs, and he invests in state-of-the-art equipment to make sure his patients receive the highest quality care possible.
Dr. Mata has also created several techniques that have become widely practiced in the liposuction industry. This includes trademarked procedures such as the Scottsdale Skinny, Magic Shot, and the Gladiator. Thanks to his efforts and ingenuity, doctors around the world are achieving better results. It’s thanks to these inventions that Dr. Mata’s personal philosophy is also being honored worldwide, as countless providers help patients love their bodies even more.
Transforming Bodies and Lives, the Dr. Scottsdale Way
For Dr. Carlos Mata, the famed Dr. Scottsdale, liposuction is more than just a surgical procedure — it's a powerful medical process that empowers patients to embrace their bodies. And thanks to his unparalleled expertise, personalized approach, and unwavering commitment to excellence, he’ll continue to inspire confidence in his patients one procedure at a time.
