Body By Mateo

Your Body By MateoExperience

Sculpted. Refined. Naturally You.

At North Florida Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, the term “Body by Mateo” has become synonymous with artistry, precision, and natural-looking transformation.

Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Mateo de Acosta, this signature approach to body contouring and breast enhancement is designed to refine your shape while preserving harmony and balance. With meticulous attention to detail and a passion for individualized care, Dr. Mateo creates results that look beautiful, natural, and uniquely yours.

The Philosophy Behind Body by Mateo

Because Your "Why" Matters

For Dr. Mateo, the rationale behind your procedure is always in focus. While there are certain fundamental best practices that carry over from patient to patient, no two surgeries are ever the same, because no two patients are ever the same. Your look is unique to you and deserves to be respected throughout every phase of your aesthetic journey.

Dr. Mateo believes plastic surgery should enhance, not erase.

Dr. Mateo believes plastic surgery should enhance, not erase. His philosophy centers on:

  • Achieving balance and proportion that fits your natural frame
  • Prioritizing techniques that minimize downtime and optimize recovery
  • Personalizing every surgical plan

The Body by Mateo is not about a single procedure; it’s about the overall transformation that comes from a thoughtful, artistic approach.

The Science of Smooth

Avéli™ Cellulite Reduction in Gainesville, FL

Cellulite is one of the most common concerns for women, even those at their ideal weight. Avéli™ is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment that directly targets the structural causes of cellulite with precision. In just one minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Mateo can release the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause dimpling, creating smoother, more even skin texture. Unlike creams or temporary treatments, Avéli™ addresses cellulite at its root for long-lasting results. Patients who want to pair body contouring with smoother skin often choose this treatment as part of their Body by Mateo journey.

What Patients Say

Patient stories reflect not just physical transformation, but the confidence and comfort that come from trusting Dr. Mateo’s expertise.

I had surgery by Dr. David Mateo. For me, it was the best decision I made because he is an excellent doctor, an excellent professional from day one. My operation was to remove my implants that were encapsulated and put in new ones. Although other doctors don’t like to fix this type of thing, Dr. Mateo always said yes and was always very realistic and honest with me. I am happy with my results. I recommend him 100%. Congratulations to the clinic for having such an excellent professional in you and for speaking Spanish as well.
