For Dr. David Mateo de Acosta Andino, plastic surgery is about more than aesthetics—it’s about confidence and self-empowerment. As a board-certified plastic surgeon at North Florida Plastic Surgery, he combines surgical precision with artistry to create natural, beautiful results.
What truly sets Dr. Mateo apart is his compassionate approach to patient care. “If I had to describe my philosophy in three words, they would be kindness, personalization, and precision,” he shares. “Every patient is unique, and I take the time to truly understand their goals, customizing each procedure to complement their natural beauty.” At the heart of his work is a belief that plastic surgery is not just about aesthetics—it’s about investing in yourself. “When you feel good about how you look, it radiates into all aspects of your life. It’s not about changing who you are, but enhancing what makes you feel your best.”
Originally from Havana, Cuba, Dr. Mateo trained globally before settling in Gainesville with his wife and two daughters. Specializing in body contouring after weight loss and pregnancy, his passion is deeply personal. “I struggled with my weight growing up, so I understand the power of self-confidence,” he shares.
Beyond the OR, he starts his day at 4 AM with a workout. And if he weren’t a surgeon? “Formula One driver,” he laughs.
With his expertise, compassion, and dedication to personalized care, Dr. Mateo is transforming lives one procedure at a time—helping his patients embrace self-confidence, wellness, and happiness from the inside out.
