Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery - Dr. Gabriel Chiu — Local services in Beverly Hills

Being religious about health and fitness and once having larger breasts prior to working out, I had always thought about getting breast implants. One day I decided to search yelp and Dr. Gabriel Chiu popped up with some pretty good reviews so I finally decided to make a consultation appointment to find out what it really was all about. It took about a month to get in, but Dr. Chiu was my very first consult and although it took a little bit to see him once I was in the office, it was worth every moment. Walking into the office the staff greeted you with a smile and made sure that you were comfortable while you waited bringing you drinks or little snacks. I felt like Dr. Chiu really gave me his full attention and cared about the procedure I had wanted done. He explained everything in full detail and then some, without me even having to ask the questions. After explaining the procedure, discussing different implants, pro's and con's of surgery, etc...he sat with me to try on different implant sizes to see what they would look like. He had instructed me to come back with different shirts so that I could really understand and visualize the difference in sizes and how I would look in them to make a decision on my final sizing. Although he gave suggestions about what sizes he felt would look natural he left the final decision to me to ensure that I would feel comfortable in my own skin. Some of his ultimate goal's that I felt were to make the client happy, the procedure to go safe and complication free and the breasts to look natural on the body. After making my decision to go ahead with surgery and scheduling a date, I was still a little reluctant on the procedure. Wondering if having implants would give me better self esteem about myself. Coworkers had instructed me to get a second opinion just to have something to compare too, which I was hesitant as well to do. I ended up getting a second opinion by a surgeon closer to me and cheaper, but it really just ended up ensuring my confidence in Dr. Chiu. The amount of time Dr. Chiu spent with me and my mother discussing the procedure and finding the perfect size for me really was above and beyond what I had anticipated. I couldn't thank him enough for that. Surgery day everyone there was respectful too. The anesthesiologist came and interviewed me prior to the procedure and helped ensure I was comfortable and pain free. The bedside nurse eased my tears and confirmed the feelings I was having were normal and might even continue. After waking up from surgery there was a snack bag awaiting and Dr. chiu and everyone there explaining how everything went "textbook" and my new breasts were "picture perfect." I had no pain or nausea after surgery and felt amazing. My mother couldn't believe I just had surgery. With the medications that Dr. Chiu recommends before surgery I've had minimal bruising, swelling and pain. I am currently day 4/5 post op and only used a couple of pain meds on day 1-3, almost not even needing any on day 3. I didn't think I had a high pain tolerance, but comparing this procedure and the impacted toothache pain I had several months ago I would rate the tooth pain at 10/10 and this pain 5/10. Yeah I'm sore, which is to be expected, but it's amazing how being healthy, having a good surgeon and taking the right medications prescribed to you really do help you recover quickly! I love how Dr. Chiu really supports a natural healthy recovery to things. I honestly think this makes a huge difference. I would say so far overall, I've had an amazing experience with Dr. Chiu and am happy with the decision to go through him. The only thing that was hard was the fact that I had to reschedule my appointments quite a bit because of schedule changes. I'm thankful that I have a pretty flexible schedule to be able to do that and say if scheduling was my only issue for a pretty hefty surgery, then it was worth the schedule flopping to have a complication free surgery by a...

Save your money and do not come to Dr. Chiu. I had a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation done at the same time last year (Dec 2022). I saved & paid for both surgeries in full and I HIGHLY regret coming here. I have had enough time to fully heal from both surgeries and am very disappointed with the results. Dr. Chiu did not listen to what I wanted from either surgery. For my rhinoplasty, I specifically pointed to pictures of books of his work he had in his office. I told him my two concerns were the bridge of my nose; I had a bump and my nose was too wide. I also mentioned that I did not like how bulgy and thick the tip of my nose was. My final result- he worked on my bridge and the width, however, he did not make the tip of my nose proportional to the width of the bridge of my nose. The bridge is thin and the tip of my nose is much wider. For 17 thousand dollars, I am very displeased with his results! During our consultation, I told him my concerns, showed him pictures and my nose is still not proportional! He continued to promise that I would get a “princess nose” but that is definitely not what I got. I wanted a cute thin tip to match the width of the bridge of my nose. During a follow up, I mentioned my concern and Dr. Chiu said it was just my cartilage, but that’s what plastic surgery is for. As a plastic surgeon he should have been able to trim & mold the excess cartilage that I initially complained about. I would NOT recommend getting a rhinoplasty with Dr. Chiu.

For my breast augmentation, I had a similar experience. I brought pictures, told him what I wanted my breasts to look like without a bra, and I do not feel like he heard what I wanted. When I went to my consultation, I tried on different implant sizes and left with 2 possible sizes. 2 days later I had my pre-op appointment. For this visit I wanted to try on the sizes I had in mind during the consultation, and wanted to try a size up to be sure. When I got there, one of the implant sizes I had picked was gone missing. When I asked for a bigger size, the assistant scrambled around looking for it. It felt somewhat chaotic since implants were missing and many were not labeled with the implant size, so I just had to go with what they thought was the implant size. (Not sure if this is making sense, but the office felt unorganized) I should have cancelled my surgeries then, but I was just so excited to get them done and had the perfect break in my schedule to do the procedures and recover. Unfortunately, my breasts came out smaller than I wished. I explicitly expressed that I wanted a full, lifted cleavage without having to wear a bra. I REALLY wanted this look while wearing a bathing suit- I showed him pictures & I did NOT get what I asked for. I have not attended my 1 year check up because just thinking about going into the office makes me so upset. I regret spending over 30K at this office. I will not be recommending this doctor to any friends or family.

Office staff- I only called twice after my surgery to ask about post-op care. The staff said they would ask the surgeon and get back to me. I never received a call back, both times I had to call them again to get my response. Sadly, do not expect quick...

They say there are those times that you come across a professional that truly loves his work and Dr. Chiu is one of those. He is not only an outstanding plastic surgeon; he is a doctor that sincerely cares and shows a loving concern toward his patients. His gentle demeanor and patience along with his knowledge and experience gave me sound reassurance. He goes to great efforts to meet and explain every care and concern that you might have. He also surrounds himself with an outstanding staff that is also attentive and responsive to any need or concern that may arise.

Last year Dr. Chiu removed my 22 year old silicone implants, a surgery from another plastic surgeon. He removed and replaced the old silicone implants. It was a long and difficult surgery because he was careful not to damage the nerves and he successfully did that and I have full sensation. I am so grateful to Dr. Chiu because you can’t see the scar and my 34D breasts look so natural! I had a smooth and successful recovery without complications. I am extremely happy with my new breasts.

In June of this year (2024), I had a revision of my tummy tuck incision line, a surgery performed by another plastic surgeon 22 years ago after having 4 C-Sections. Additionally, I had a tummy tuck, liposuction on my abdomen, hips, flanks, and waist, fat transfers into various places on my face, including my nasolabial folds, liposuction on my chin and jawline, and Renuvion treatment over my stomach, jawline and chin. I also had an upper lift lip, all of this was performed by Dr. Chiu in one surgery.

I am so elated with the results. My face looks younger and my lips are perfect, they don’t look like the dreaded “DUCK LIPS!” I can wear bikinis again and my abs look like I spent hours in the gym and you can’t see my C-Section scar. I lost all the fat on my stomach, waist and hips. I’ve gone down two sizes! The Renuvion treatment tightened and reduced my excess skin. My surgery was about 10 hours, but the recovery was also smooth without complications and each day I could see my body transforming!

I can’t tell you how happy I am with the results and the way I look its UNBELIEVABLE! It’s been 12 weeks post surgery and I feel 20 years younger and I love what he did to my face, stomach, waist, jawline, chin, lips and revision of my C-section incision line.

I should also mention that I had Morpheus treatment on my knees to smooth out the lines above my knees. I regularly see Dr. Chiu for SylfirmX and Exosomes to treat my acne scars, pores, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, my uneven skin texture and tone and the treatment stimulates collagen growth and elastin formation. The results are amazing! My face looks younger, healthy and youthful.

Dr. Chiu is an incredible plastic surgeon, he went above and beyond my expectations. Everything from my first consultation and surgery to my follow up appointments could not have gone better. His nurse and staff are professional, always friendly and eager to help. I am amazingly shocked at how great my results are. I highly recommend Dr.Chiu at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery. Thank you Dr. Chiu from the bottom...
