I take cases like this very seriously and seeing a testimonial from the patient means everything.

When a patient comes in with a history of skin cancer and complex healing, the goal isn’t just aesthetic improvement. It’s to restore the integrity of the skin, monitor risk, and create a treatment plan that supports long-term health.

“I wish I could triple the stars for this rating. As a skin cancer patient with complicated medical issues and multiple facial scars, I needed a highly skilled physician. I come from a medical background, so I did extensive research and ultimately traveled from Seattle to Los Angeles to see Dr. Macias.

Dr. Macias and his team treated me like family. My recovery had a few challenges due to my medical history, but at every stage, I was supported with care, reassurance, and close follow-up. Dr. Macias personally came into the office on weekends to evaluate me, which meant a great deal.

The level of coordination within the team is exceptional. My skin texture improved significantly through advanced laser treatments, carefully tailored and adjusted throughout the process.

Most importantly, these treatments will save me from some underlying skin cancers and help me avoid Mohs surgery and additional scarring.

If you are looking for a practice that combines expertise with truly individualized care, I would recommend Dr. Macias, even if you have to travel.”

If you’re navigating skin changes after cancer, or want a treatment plan that prioritizes both function and outcome, we’re here to guide you through it.

Most patients don’t come in asking for a facelift.

They come in because something feels slightly different. A softer jawline, a bit of heaviness around the mouth, or less definition in the neck.

These are usually the earliest structural changes.

In surgery, the goal isn’t to change how someone looks, but to restore support in a way that feels natural and holds over time.

Timing isn’t about age. It’s about anatomy, tissue quality, and recognizing when those shifts begin.

If you’re starting to notice these changes and feel like it’s the right moment to begin the conversation, book a consultation in the link in bio.

The jawline doesn’t age alone.

Changes through the lower face happen as a unit. Skin laxity, fat distribution, and muscle activity all influence how the jawline and neck appear over time.

In this case, treatment focused on restoring definition along the jawline while addressing the neck to create a more balanced, continuous contour.

The result is a sharper profile that still feels natural at rest and in motion.

If you’re noticing early changes in your jawline or neck, a personalized plan makes the difference.

Schedule a consultation to understand what’s contributing to your anatomy and how we approach it.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear about facelifts…

That it’s just about pulling skin tighter. It’s not.

With a preservation deep plane facelift, the skin remains connected to the deeper structures. Instead of pulling, we reposition everything together, which is how you get a more natural, longer-lasting result.

It’s a completely different approach than what most people expect.

If you’ve been thinking about it, I’m always happy to walk you through it. DM me with any questions at all, I try my best to answer everyone who reaches out.

Grateful to have hosted Dr. Jamil Ahmad, incoming President of The Aesthetic Societyl, in our practice, to USC and The Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship..

One of the most common concerns I hear is not wanting to look “done.” This patient testimonial means everything. Hearing that someone feels like themselves again, just more supported and refreshed, is always the goal.

“It’s been 9 weeks since my deep plane facelift with Dr. Luis Macias, and I’m absolutely thrilled. My husband is a plastic surgeon, and I manage his cosmetic practice, so I knew how important it was to find someone truly exceptional. A trusted anesthesiologist friend recommended Dr. Macias, and I’m so grateful he did.

My results are beyond what I hoped for--natural, refined, and I look 20 years younger. The recovery was smooth, and his pre and post op care was flawless. His team is warm, professional, and incredibly supportive. My husband and I both highly recommend Dr. Macias. You couldn't be in better hands.”

Honored to be featured .businessnews , sharing how I approach facelift timing with my patients.

More people are coming in earlier, not to change how they look, but because they’re starting to notice subtle shifts. A softer jawline, changes in the neck, or a loss of definition that doesn’t quite feel like them.

In surgery, my focus is always on restoring structure in a way that looks natural and holds over time. With a deep plane facelift, we’re working beneath the surface, repositioning deeper layers rather than tightening skin.

There isn’t a specific age that makes someone a candidate. It comes down to anatomy, skin quality, and having a plan that makes sense for you long term.

If you’re starting to notice those early changes, that’s usually the right moment to begin the conversation.

Over time, subtle changes in the face begin to shift how we look and feel.

A facelift is about restoring what’s already there. With the right technique, we reposition deeper structures, refine the jawline, and bring balance back to the face. The goal is not tighter or pulled. It’s natural, proportionate, and aligned with your anatomy.

Just as important is choosing a surgeon who understands your goals and tailors the approach to you. No two faces age the same, and no two facelifts should be the same.

If you’re starting to notice changes in your lower face or jawline, this is where the conversation begins.

A transformation that speaks for itself.

This patient had her facelift done elsewhere and still had loss of jawline definition, skin laxity, and heaviness through the lower face.

With a revision deep plane facelift, the underlying structures were repositioned to restore contour and balance, creating a more defined, refreshed appearance that still feels like her.

Results that are natural, precise, and designed to last.

Real patients, real trust. Slide over to see the full review.

We’re always grateful when patients share their experience so openly. Trust is everything in surgery, and it’s built through clear communication, thoughtful planning, and consistent care every step of the way.

A deep plane facelift is not just about technique. It’s about understanding each patient’s goals and earning the confidence to deliver natural, lasting results.

Awards season has wrapped, but we know the truth: red carpet season never really ends in Los Angeles.

Honored to be featured in @‌thehollywoodreporter discussing the reality behind surgical timelines and what patients should actually expect when preparing for a major moment.

I’m sure you saw a few faces that looked like they’re aging backwards at all the recent big events this year, chances are, that work was done quite a bit ago.

There’s a common misconception that results are immediate. In reality, great outcomes take time. In the piece, I share how healing evolves, why planning ahead matters, and what to realistically expect when considering a procedure ahead of an event.

Because in LA, there’s always another red carpet on the horizon.

A facelift isn’t about changing who you are.
It’s about restoring structure where time has softened it.

In this case, the focus was repositioning deeper facial tissues, refining the jawline and neck, and preserving the patient’s natural expression without over-tightening or distortion. The result is a refreshed, balanced appearance that still looks entirely like her.

Please note the before photo was submitted for a virtual consultation, which can affect lighting and image quality compared to standardized clinical photography.

Thoughtful surgical planning, precise technique, and respect for anatomy are what create results that feel natural and long-lasting.

If you’re considering a facelift in Los Angeles and want an anatomy-led approach, a consultation is the first step.

Schedule a private virtual or in-person consultation to discuss your goals.
