Dr. Macias is an absolute miracle worker

My experience with Dr. Macias and his core team has been absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His skill, artistry, and attention to detail are truly one of a kind, and I am beyond happy with the various procedures I have had with him. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel grateful that I chose him as my surgeon; his work has given me a renewed sense of confidence while still looking like the best version of myself. Beyond his surgical talent, what truly sets Dr. Macias apart is the way he connects with you as a real person, not just another appointment on the schedule. He genuinely listens, is incredibly patient, and never makes you feel rushed - he stays until every single question has been answered and you feel completely comfortable. He is kind, humble, and genuinely caring, with a warmth that never feels fake or performative, and he has a rare ability to make you feel cared for, understood, and heard; it truly feels like winning the lottery to have found such a one-of-a-kind, authentically compassionate and exceptionally skilled plastic surgeon. I also want to highlight Paris, his medical assistant, who was a true standout at every step. She was organized, reassuring, and incredibly kind, always taking the time to answer questions, check on me, and make sure I felt prepared and supported, which helped make the entire process smooth and far less stressful. ? The anesthesiologist, Dr. Shahin Ebrahimian, also deserves special recognition. He called the night before surgery, carefully answered every single question and concern, and made me feel completely comfortable and heard even before I arrived. The morning of surgery, he again took the time to reassure me and explain everything, and the intubation experience with him was completely pain-free - I would not have even known I had been intubated if they hadn’t told me ahead of time. I woke up without a sore throat or any discomfort (which is rare with intubation) and was such a relief! Overall, Dr. Macias is an absolute miracle worker and a true artist, supported by key team members like Paris and Dr. Ebrahimian who helped make this an exceptional, safe, and deeply caring surgical experience. I am profoundly grateful to them and would choose Dr. Macias again in a heartbeat for any future procedure!

Feeling Beautiful, Confident, and Revitalized!

I recently had cosmetic surgery under the care of Dr. Luis Macias in Marina Del Rey, CA, and I’m genuinely thrilled with my results. The improvement is exactly what I hoped for — refreshed, natural, and still completely me. What truly set this experience apart was Dr. Macias’s outstanding medical training, deeply focused expertise, and absolute professionalism. From my first consultation through the entire recovery process, I felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. The post-op surgical aftercare, laser treatments, and facial resurfacing I received played a huge role in my healing process. Thanks to the thoughtful care of Dr. Macias and his incredible team, I was able to attend a large public event — and be photographed — just 10 days after my procedure. Even more amazing, I was back to work in front of a camera within 30 days post-op. Truly unbelievable! I couldn’t be happier with my experience, and I highly recommend Dr. Macias and his team to anyone considering facial aesthetic work. As always, everyone’s journey is personal, but I’m so grateful for mine.

Thank You, Dr. Macias!!!

I had a procedure done with Dr. Luis Macias and I can confidently say his work is truly life-changing. From the very first consultation, Dr. Macias made me feel heard, understood, and completely at ease. His professionalism, attention to detail, and compassionate care exceeded all of my expectations. The results are way beyond what I could have hoped for — not just physically, but in how I feel about myself every single day. I’m over the moon!!! Dr. Macias is not only incredibly skilled but also deeply committed to his patients’ well-being. He really went the extra mile to ensure that I was completely comfortable and not in any pain during the procedure or after. I couldn’t be more grateful. Choosing him was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made, and my only wish is that I found him sooner. I hope this review helps someone else make the best ever decision that I ever did!

Breast augmentation and nipple reduction - seven months post-procedure, I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Macias for a breast augmentation and nipple reduction procedure, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From my initial consultation in June 2024, it was clear that Dr. Macias is a standout professional in his field. After meeting with several other surgeons, I immediately felt confident in choosing him. Dr. Macias is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly approachable and likable. He has a way of putting his patients at ease with his honest, down-to-earth demeanor and genuine care. He takes the time to listen carefully to your needs and ensures that every decision is made with your best interests in mind. His team was equally outstanding, accommodating my busy work schedule and arranging my surgery promptly. Now, seven months post-procedure, I couldn’t be happier with the results. My follow-up appointments have been seamless, and I continue to feel fully supported throughout my recovery. Dr. Macias exemplifies professionalism, compassion, and excellence. His likable personality and patient-centered approach make him an exceptional choice. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering a similar procedure.

Patient for Life

Rating an experience as intimate as plastic surgery is difficult because you are now in the care of a whole team of professionals who want nothing but satisfaction for you. I met Dr. Macias Six years ago after having a gastric sleeve procedure. I had lost over 100lbs and was looking for a surgeon who would treat me with kindness and understanding. I made an appointment with him for my breast augmentation and arm skin removal surgery when I saw a YouTube video of a satisfied patient post about the natural results Dr. Macias was able to create for her. Since this procedure I have returned not only for a Tummy Tuck but just recently a face-lift. The office team was instrumental in preparing me for this investment in my appearance with Laser treatments and facials that are a must to prepare and Dr. Macias's team offered the best treatments and products to ensure my results would be ideal. The 5 star review is not only for Dr. Macias but also for his team.

Dr. Macias is a relaxed cat whose confidence puts you immediately at ease. He is excellent at giving you a very natural result.

They are sincere and genuine, no weird vibes there. I will be returning, I love them.

Breast implant removal - great surgeon with a beautiful facility

Dr. Macias did my mom’s facelift and that is how I found him! He did my breast augmentation 10yrs ago, and I recently decided to take them out. He removed them under local anesthesia which was a huge deal for me, I wanted to avoid going under if possible. through the areola as well. I highly recommend Dr. Macias. He is a great surgeon with a beautiful facility.

Best Choice with the Best Doctor

I can't believe I finally did it! I've been wanting to get a tummy tuck and replace my 21 year old implants. I had consulted with Dr. Macias around 10 years ago, but I wasn't ready so didn't do it. Fast forward to now, he now has his own practice, which I visit for regularly for facials and botox with amazing aestheticians. I knew he was good back then and has only improved and mastered his craft. I am so happy with my results and its only been a month. I included inner thigh lift because I hated the loose skin due to weight loss. I'm so happy I did. Everything about the experience was great and ran smoothly. From the office staff to the after care visits. His office and staff are true professionals with a warm feel that makes it less scary because it is still surgery and can be a bit scary. I highly recommend Dr. Macias and his amazing staff. I smile every time I see my results so far. I finally did it and with the best! Updated on 18 Jul 2025: It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since my tummy tuck, breast implant revision with a lift, and inner thigh lipo with Dr. Macias — and I can honestly say I’m even more in love with the results now than I was a few months after surgery. From day one, Dr. Macias made me feel comfortable, understood, and truly cared for. He’s not just incredibly skilled — he’s kind, honest, and he really listens. I knew I was in the best hands the moment I met him. At my follow-up, Dr. Macias had to gently remind me to wear sunscreen — because for the first time in my life, I’m confidently wearing a two-piece bikini without a cover-up. That still feels surreal! I’ve been so excited to finally show off the results. This surgery wasn’t just a physical transformation — it gave me a whole new level of confidence and comfort in my own skin. I feel like myself again, only better. I’m so grateful to Dr. Macias and his amazing team. If you’re thinking about making a change, he is the doctor for the best results.

A Better Experience Than I Could Have Even Imagined

Dr.Macias truly changed my life in more ways than I could have imagined. I knew going into plastic surgery that I had an image of what I wanted but as always what you want isn’t always possible. However, being the amazingly talented doctor Dr.Macias is, he accomplished my image. I am so grateful for him and his amazing team at Aesthetics MD.

Refreshing Facelift All Thanks to Dr. Macias

Deciding to move forward with Dr. Macias was my best decision. I had considered a Deepplane Facelift for some time but had been too nervous to move forward. After consulting with multiple doctors I knew the search was over after meeting with Dr. Macias. He is a straight shooter and I knew I could trust him to achieve the natural results I had been looking for. The experience at his office was more than wonderful. They gifted me a facial and skin consultation along with my procedure as well as laser treatments to help my skin & recovery. Dr. Macias even provided my medications on the day of surgery. My recovery process was just as he explained. The lovely ladies at the office were pleasant and quick to respond to all of my questions. Dr. Macias, I cannot thank you enough! You have changed my life and I will be sure to recommend you to all of my friends & family.
