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.
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:
The Body by Mateo is not about a single procedure; it’s about the overall transformation that comes from a thoughtful, artistic approach.
While Dr. Mateo performs the full range of cosmetic surgery, certain procedures have become the hallmark of the Body by Mateo brand.
Through advanced liposuction techniques, Dr. Mateo sculpts the body to highlight natural curves and muscle definition. Fat can be harvested and transferred to other areas, such as the hips, breasts, or buttocks, to create smooth, contoured lines.

For patients who have undergone massive weight loss, Dr. Mateo designs comprehensive surgical plans to remove excess skin and restore confidence. These procedures are carefully tailored to support both comfort and long-term results.

Renuvion® is one of Dr. Mateo’s go-to technologies for patients who want firmer, more youthful-looking skin without the downtime of traditional surgery. This minimally invasive treatment uses plasma energy to contract tissues beneath the skin, creating a smoother, tighter appearance.

Dr. Mateo specializes in rapid recovery breast augmentation using the subglandular placement technique (over the muscle, under the breast tissue). With advanced methods and modern implants such as Motiva and Natrelle, he helps patients achieve fuller, softer breasts with less discomfort and downtime.

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.

Motiva Preservé™ offers an advanced approach to breast surgery, prioritizing the preservation of your natural breast tissue and sensation. By using the SmoothSilk® Ergonomix2® implants alongside Preservé™'s specialized tools, this technique helps achieve smaller scars and minimize device-related complications. This means a quicker, safer recovery while maintaining your breasts' natural softness and beauty. Experience peace of mind with an approach that truly respects your body’s unique characteristics.
