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.

Excellent at giving you a very natural result

Dr. Macias is a relaxed cat whose confidence puts you immediately at ease. He is excellent at giving you a very natural result. He listens to his patients and I believe wants you to be extremely happy moving forward. His staff is the best l've ever worked with while dealing with a doctor's office. 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.

Tummy Tuck

EliVal

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.

Deep Plane Facelift

I still look like myself, just refreshed and rejuvenated

I had a deep plane facelift with Dr. Macias about two months ago, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results so far. The transformation has been incredible, and every day I’m noticing more and more improvements in my appearance. What I love most is how natural the results are; I still look like myself, just refreshed and rejuvenated. Beyond the results, my entire experience with Dr. Macias and his team was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the office, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and well-informed at every stage of the process. They were always available to answer my questions and provide support, not just before the surgery but during my recovery as well. Their attentiveness and professionalism really made a world of difference in how I felt about the whole experience. The surgery itself was smooth, and Dr. Macias was incredibly skilled and reassuring. His attention to detail and his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me were evident from our very first consultation. He took the time to understand my goals and tailored the procedure to fit my needs perfectly. As for the recovery process, I’m still in the healing phase, but I’m already so pleased with the progress. While I know there’s still a long way to go before I see the final results, I’m confident that things will only continue to get better. I plan to update this review as my healing journey progresses, but for now, I can say that choosing Dr. Macias for my deep plane facelift was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m beyond grateful to him and his wonderful team for making this experience so positive.

Breast Augmentation

Incredible, natural breast augmentation results 2 months post-op

Absolutely in love with my breast augmentation results! I have been thinking about the surgery for seven years and in the past three years I had five consultations. Dr. Macias was my fifth consultation and the surgeon I decided to go with for my augmentation. The doctor and the team are wonderful and the whole process went smoothly. I was very nervous the day of my surgery just like most of us, but they made me feel extremely comfortable. I came in around 7 AM and I was back home at 9 AM. I am currently just a little bit over two months after surgery and they are looking more fabulous each day. You have to give time, time. Look at it as teamwork. They are soft, natural and the perfect shape. When it comes to choosing the shape and size, listen to your doctor. He is the expert. You should focus on your recovery. My left breast was a little bit complicated to start with so she is settling in a bit slower but that is perfectly normal! Just be patient. And choose a doctor that will give you the most natural results. Dr. Macias is the one!
