His training reportedly includes medical education at the Universidad Complutense, one of Spain's oldest and most established universities. This academic foundation underpins more than a decade of focused clinical experience.
The deep plane facelift sits at the center of his practice. Unlike older skin-only methods, this approach works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue under the skin) to create natural, lasting results.
Dr. Macias is described as a surgeon who emphasizes facial harmony over an overdone appearance. The goal of his rejuvenation work is to address facial aging at its structural source rather than masking it at the surface.
Madrid itself adds a distinctive context to his practice. The Spanish capital blends old-world elegance with a modern, internationally recognized medical infrastructure, making it an increasingly considered destination for facial surgery.
Patients in the 55-to-65 age range often seek out deep plane techniques because they target the mid-face and jawline, areas where tissue descent becomes most visible with time. Dr. Macias focuses his expertise on exactly these concerns.
His specialization extends beyond the facelift itself into comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This may include complementary procedures that restore balance across the brow, cheeks, and neck for a cohesive outcome.
Recovery is a topic Dr. Macias is reported to discuss candidly with patients. The deep plane method, while technically demanding, can offer recovery experiences comparable to less invasive lifts when performed by an experienced hand.
The ABPS credential, when verified, signals rigorous training and examination standards. For a procedure as nuanced as the deep plane facelift, board certification remains a meaningful reassurance for prospective patients.

Prospective patients considering facial rejuvenation will find in Dr. Macias a surgeon whose practice is built around a single demanding technique rather than a broad menu of unrelated procedures. That focus is, for many, a deciding factor.
At the time of writing in 2026, Dr. Antonio Macias represents the kind of specialized, technique-focused practitioner that affluent patients seeking deep plane results in Madrid often prioritize during their research.
