I just had the BEST pre-wedding facial of my life with Gina. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely relaxed and taken care of. Her attention to detail, gentle touch, and knowledge of skincare were incredible- not to mention the massages she included while she let the products/masks/light therapy do their magic. It was beyond relaxing and made the entire treatment feel like a full mind-and-body reset. I left feeling so happy with my results and already know this is going to be part of my regular self-care routine! Highly, highly recommend Gina to anyone looking to treat themselves and see real results!!! read more

I have had a great experience with SVIA so far. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and patient, and I really mean extremely. Dr. Jerome Liu was my surgeon, and he has made me feel comfortable and did a great job. I got Alloclae for breast injections, and they came out so nice!! I am probably going to do another round in a few months. read more

I had a facetite and upper Bleph procedure with Dr Tom Liu 6 weeks ago and I couldn't be more happy with this experience, as well as my results. I'm 38, almost 39 and the past couple of years I started to notice a little bit of sagging and fullness in my neck and super loose skin on my upper eyelids. It's been difficult to apply makeup on my eyes the past couple of years. What I liked about facetite is it tightens the neck as well as my lower face and I definitely had fullness in my lower face. Procedure day was great! I took some Valium to help me relax. Dr. Liu carefully marked me and made sure I knew what he was going to do and that I was happy with the plan. Numbing me up was the worst part, but even so, it was completely tolerable, especially with the Valium on board. He was gentle and took his time and after just a couple minutes I was numb and then felt no pain the rest of the procedure. He had some good music playing, I was able to talk if I needed to and he made sure to check in with me throughout the treatment. When we were done his extremely kind and knowledgeable assistant put a compression wrap on me, and then I was on my way home. When I got home I started icing and kept my head elevated. I took two doses of pain meds but honestly I probably didn't even need it. The next morning I woke up with zero pain, unless I touched the treatment areas. But I'm on day three and haven't needed a pain med, except for that first day. I only have three tiny sutures for the facetite. One behind each ear and one of the chin. My neck is SNATCHED and my eyes are like they were 20 years ago. No more wrinkling when I put on eyeliner or creasing of my makeup as the day goes on and I'm so happy with this whole experience. I had no idea my neck could look this good!! Highly recommend FaceTite with Dr. Liu. read more

This practice made it impossible to find out the prices via phone. I called, waited on hold to be told by the phone rep that she had no access to price lists, but I could be transfered to Kelly who could tell me. I was there transfered and ended up going to voicemail. So I called back and was transferred again, to Kelly, who refused to provide their price range (yes, not even the range) without me providing my full name, phone, and email. I understand needing all my info at an in person consult, but to the reps that answer the phone? If they prices are above standard, I don't want them to be able to reach back out to me. How frustrating. Talk about a lack of transparency. They kept "say we need your information to tailor a treatment plan." I'm curious how my full name and email would help them provide enough info to provide me a quote range. The reluctance to share even ballpark figures feels like a red flag. Transparent medical practices typically understand that patients need financial information to make informed decisions, even if exact quotes require consultation. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Liu at SVIA Surgical Center for a few years now, and he has always been so skillful and knowledgeable about my care. The new location is beautiful and very welcoming. The whole team--Lauren, Carly, and Amanda--are always so kind, professional, and attentive, which makes every visit such a great experience. I'm very happy with my Botox and lip filler; thanks to Dr. Liu, I look and feel younger. Highly recommend! read more

I did Morpheus8 with Amanda and it has taken so many years off my face! Someone even told me I look younger than I did 6 years ago! And I've def been told I look younger now than before. The results are amazing and she's absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend it as a non-surgical alternative to shaving years off your face. I'm planning to do it in the abdomen area at some point and my arms as well down the line. read more

After promising Dr. Liu and his staff that I would write a review for a while now, I am finally getting around to it. Having relocating to the Sacramento area, I was in need of a new plastic surgery office and had chosen Svia to speak with Dr. Liu about some procedures that I was considering having done. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of previous surgical procedures and "professionals" that claimed to be not only certain of their expertise but also their profound knowledge and ability to provide the best care for their patients, I not only have suffered results that I have not been satisfied with but I also unfortunately almost died due to their inability to provide the care that they promised and experienced a complication that they did not communicate to me and then I developed a pulmonary embolism and went into cardiac arrest. Needless to say, I am very traumatized from this as well as very skeptical of putting my faith into the hands of anyone. Regardless of this dramatic situation, and communicating my concerns and history to Dr. Liu, he and his staff not only have ensured full disclosure, communication, and understanding of expectancy, but they have additionally provided the ample time, empathy, compassion, and understanding, to allow for complete and immediate access to full scope of care to not only support with the best possible physical health and outcomes, but to also provide and ensure the best possible mental health and outcomes. As one who is in the medical field and myself cares for my own caseload of clients and knows how few doctors make themselves available to this degree, regardless of their own knowledge and understanding of how they are supposed to provide patient-centered healthcare and the code of ethics, I can assure you that not only is Dr. Liu an artist in his craft and well deserving and knowledgeable in his practice and understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the implementation of his applications but he has amazing insight and ethics and provides full patient-centered care, is up-to-date with his expertise and applications, and he and every member of his staff are friendly, helpful, approachable, professional, caring, patient, informative, and very fun-natured. I am grateful to have chosen them and very pleased with the results of all the procedures that I have received from Dr. Liu and his team thus far. read more

I came here for botox, Morpheus 8, and Lip injection. I am so obsessed with this location! Amanda performed all of these procedures. She paid attention to detail, was extremely meticulous, professional, knowledgeable AND kind. My lips and skin feel so amazing and my confidence has increased. Dr. Liu assisted and came and checked in here and there as well. He also seemed highly trained, sophistacted, and paid extreme attention to detail. The staff is also so friendly. When you walk in, you are felt welcomed by Karlee and other staffers. There is chapstick samples, snacks, coffee for clients. You feel wanted. I will absolutely keep going! read more

Just got my labiaplasty done by Dr. Liu. One word, PERFECTION. Dr. Liu is amazing at his work. At first I was scared of the procedure, but during the entire process he kept me comfortable and included in every single step of the procedure. His nurses were nice and they made me feel at ease during the procedure. It was a great experience as I had the opportunity to see Dr. Liu in action as he performed the procedure while under local anesthesia. He was meticulous, organized, clean, efficient, calm, patient, and paid attention to small details. Also, how he leads his nurses during the procedure shows that he is an influential and respected leader. All teamwork. After the procedure, Dr. Liu also called me at the end of the day to check up on me. That was so thoughtful. It's been a week ,since and and his craft clearly shows why he is the best plastic surgeon in CA! I love the new me and so does my husband. I can't wait till I finally get to wear a bikini without feeling insecure. I wish I had done this in my early twenties, but it's never too late! I recommend Dr. Liu 100%. He has performed two surgeries on me thus far, and the results are perfect. Also, I want to give a shout-out to his administrative staff! They're all so sweet and nice :) in person and on the phone. read more

Going with Dr. Liu for my breast augmentation was the best decision! He was very thoroughly about the procedure and different implants. He made sure I fully understood what we were moving forward with and the expectations. Kylie was also super helpful throughout the whole process and follow up appointments post surgery and answered all my questions. The front desk staff was knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and reliable! Only 4 weeks later after my surgery I was able to go zip lining with my company. Absolutely loved the procedure and the quick recovery due to Dr.Liu's techniques. Would 100% recommend to anyone! read more

Dr. Tom Liu gave me the body I never knew I could have! After much research, I decided on a drainless tummy tuck to address my severe diastasis recti and umbilical hernia. During my consult, Dr. Liu recommended the addition of bra roll liposuction and a fat transfer BBL for the best aesthetic outcome. There was no pressure to add the procedures, which was great. I was initially hesitant as I wanted a very natural look, but I am SO glad I decided to go with the BBL! It looks so natural, gives me an amazing hourglass figure, and balances out my 34DD natural breasts perfectly. My tummy is flat, moves naturally with my body, and my belly button turned out amazing! I highly recommend Dr. Liu. The results he was able to give me were above and beyond what I had hoped for. As I like to refer to it, my "Body by Dr. Liu" is perfect! read more

What immediately sets SVIA apart from other Aesthetic providers and what continues to draw me to SVIA is the fact that all care begins with a consultation and conversation with Dr. Tom Liu. While I knew what areas I wanted to address, I was unsure what my options were and what treatments would be right for me. For this reason, I appreciate that Dr. Liu personally oversees the care and treatment of each patient and begins by taking the time to get to know who his patients are. Dr. Liu took the time to meet with me prior to any treatment to discuss what I wanted to accomplish and used his extensive knowledge and expertise to develop a course of action that would bring me to my goals. One treatment Dr. Liu recommended was Morpheus for the face. Although I was nervous about the procedure because I have a low pain tolerance, Amanda was incredible and made my experience relaxing. Amanda met with me before we got started to thoroughly understand the areas I wanted addressed and asked thoughtful questions to gain a complete picture of my needs and goals. During the treatment, Amanda provided an exceptional level of care and constantly checked in with me to monitor my comfort level and make any adjustments. She paid meticulous attention to detail and exhibited a professional, calm, and reassuring demeanor. I am loving the work we have done so far, and will continue to see Dr. Liu and Amanda in Sacramento. read more

This place is so nice and clean. Dr. Liu is amazing. He's such a good doctor. During my nipple correction surgery with Dr.Liu he made me feel so comfortable. Dr.Liu would talk to me and explained to me what he was doing. Making me feel very safe. I trusted Dr.Liu that my nipples would turn out perfect like I wanted them to be. I'm very happy with my surgery. My nipples look great! Thank you, Dr.Liu. read more

The doctor didn't listen to what I wanted and the job he did was horrible and not what I wanted at all.

The staff is incredibly personable and friendly here. I had been scheduled with Amanda for lip filler services. She was awesome! Fun and friendly, and made the process easier for me. It was my first lip injection appointment, and she made me feel at ease. She even followed up with me to ensure I was happy with the results. They send you home with a little care package afterwards. Ask for Amanda when you visit here! read more

I purchased two products from this place, Biocorneim which was suppose to help fade the scaring for my upper and lower eye lid procedure. This product actually irritated the incision area, making it dry and more red than when I first started using it. The other product, SkinMedica TNS, which they recommended for lines and wrinkles, made my skin dry, crack and red as well. Both products were expensive. I understand that each product works for some and not for others. I was hoping to return both products and get a refund (I used the product for 5 days). This facility would not give me a refund and only willing give me credit to use towards their other products which I am not willing to take a chance on again. Something to think about before making such a expensive purchase at this place. 3/15 update on my review, I received a phone call from an assistant at Liu Plastic Surgery, she apologized for any discomfort and inconvenience and explained that I spoke to an employee who was undergoing training and gave me the wrong information. I was able to receive a full refund on both items. Great to see companies standing behind their products! read more

Had tummy tuck with Dr. Liu on 4/26 and had nothing but an awesome experience. I'm now weeks post-op and my results far exceed my expectations. My scar is healing well with the scar treatments, which is important to me, being a person of color. If you're thinking of a drainless tummy tuck, this is definitely the way to go. My recovery has been great. I didn't use or need any of the opioid meds that are typically prescribed after surgery. My pain was minimal the week of surgery. I used celebrex and gummies on occasion for discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Liu and staff periodt. You also know you're dealing with a great surgeon when all the nurses at the surgery center have nothing but good things to say about him. :) read more

Dr. Liu made my dreams come true! As soon as I met with Dr. Liu I knew he was the doctor I wanted. He and his staff are super personable and genuine. He was incredibly thorough and honest while walking me through my different options for a breast augmentation-- and was really patient with my millions of questions. He was able to do a projection image of what I would look like after surgery which I loved. I lived two hours away from his office in Sacramento, but he and his team accommodated my needs; letting me stop by other offices or do video calls for check-ups and payments to save me some time. The surgery went beautifully as well, my healing process honestly flew by in a blink of an eye. My goal when going in was to be larger without looking too augmented. A lot of people love the augmented look, and his before/afters showed me he was very capable of that; but I, personally, wanted to look as natural as I could. I'm now 4 months post-op and my results are exactly what I wanted!! I spend a lot of time working in little-to-no clothes, and people are always shocked to hear that I've had work done at all. Thank you to Dr. Liu and his team! :) (here's some before and afters!) read more

There isn't enough great things to say about Dr Tom Liu. Not to be bragging but I have been treated by a couple celebrity plastic surgeons so when I'm telling you Dr Lius work is that and above the Beverly Hills surgeons, I'm speaking from experience.I researched for almost a year for a Dr to perform my liposuction and BBL When I met Dr for my consultation he was absolutely thorough about about educating me about the pros and cons about my procedures. Dr Liu listened to all my questions during our hour consultation. The surgery center that performed my operation was great! Everyone working there was so nice and friendly. Met Dr Swartz the anesthesiologist which was wonderful and nice as well. I don't know why I was more nervous with procedure, but Dr Swartz Dr Liu and the nurse made we feel more at ease. After surgery was very sore but woke up from anesthesia not groggy or nauseous which I always am (I told Dr Swartz this and he made sure I that wouldn't happen) Had Dr Luis cell phone number if I had any questions..Dr ended up calling me later that evening to check up on me.. 48 hours later I had my follow up with Dr Liu and that's when I saw my body for the first time. I could get over how he perfectly sculpted my body. I haven't looked this good since my mid 20's. Matter of fact I have never shown my husband my back side in the 11 years we have been married and THAT day I turned around and showed him still with the surgical drawings on my backside and back. I'm only 2 weeks post op and I'm so excited to see the improvements in the next few month. You won't find a better Dr than Dr Lui anywhere read more

Very happy with Dr. Liu's work! He is very thorough and has an incredible attention to detail which is exactly what you want. He is very knowledgeable and will help you understand and weigh the pros and con of any decision you make. He was kind and latent to answer any questions I had. The staff is wonderful! So friendly and helpful! They always remember me and the details of my appointments and my life. I wasn't merely "another customer". Very happy all around with their staff and services. read more

I came here for a breast augmentation and I am so so happy with my experience here. I had a few breast augmentation consultations booked afterwards to have second and third opinions, but after meeting with him, I knew he was the one. I canceled all the other consultations and called back the next day to book my surgery date. During the entire process, Dr. Liu and his staff (special shoutout to Carly!!) were extremely attentive, helpful, and kind. More importantly, I am in love with the work he did on me. He was very transparent with my expectations (whether or not I can achieve certain aesthetic looks) and gave me exactly what I wanted. What more can I ask for?! Thank you to Dr. Liu and everyone else at his office! read more

loved the result of my coolsculpting!! great staff that helps you with all of your troubled areas, educated on all products and procedures they offer. the cutest office, they are always having events and offering specials! I would definitely recommend getting coolsculpting on those troubles fat areas. read more

My experience was so great. I had no idea what exactly to book as far as facials because of their wide variety of treatments but Lauren was so helpful over the phone with suggestions. I love how educated everyone is and patient if you aren't exactly sure where to start. Today I arrived with the offer of snacks or drinks and sat in their waiting room. Quick side note but the office is SO CLEAN. And super comfortable I felt right at home. Laura, the Esthetician, greeted me and brought me back into their service room. It was dimmed, smelled amazing, with calm music playing. She offered me a wrap and let me get comfortable. I won't go into too much detail, you'll just have to trust me and book for yourself. This is a perfect gift (Signature Facial) for anyone. Mom, Sister, Wife, anyone. I could not recommend more!! Thank you to the wonderful women at SVIA! read more

Very happy with my overall experience here! I found the front desk receptionists to be very professional, yet extraordinarily sweet and personable. The same can be said for my experience with Dr. Tom Liu. I live out of town (rural NorCal) and have been struggling to find a treatment to remove my double chin, which has always made me feel insecure about my side profile and how I appear in pictures. Dr. Tom Liu was accommodating by arranging a virtual consultation for me, in which he throughly and concisely discussed all of my treatment options and showed me corresponding before and after photos. He was very empathetic and provided me with the confidence, comfort, and knowledge I needed to decide which treatment option best suited me (aesthetically and financially). I received submental liposuction under local anesthetic. He was very reassuring and efficient during the procedure. I'm so glad that I made the decision to receive this treatment here, and eagerly look forward to seeing my full results as the temporary swelling subsides. My experience here was so positive to the extent that I will undoubtably return here for any future aesthetic wants/needs. Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Tom Liu continued to leave a lasting impression. I had visited Dr. Liu's office 3 years ago at his former location in Fair Oaks and my first impression was cleanliness and modernism when a lot of offices are a bit outdated in the Sacramento area. Jessica who was the PC at the time was bubbly, knowledgable, and very responsive. Dr. Lui has created a personalized experience for me by taking his time to answer all questions, provide photos of past patients that looked similar, and also provided breast sizers to try on and feel. It was a top-notch experience that not until this year I realized, he provides more than most in the area. I returned to Dr. Liu's office this year after having my second child. It is at their new location in the Arden area. Even with the change in staff, they were still extremely pleasant and kept the same modern and clean office ambiance. Johanna is the new PC and let me tell you!!! I have emailed her sooo many times and she never once dismissed me or responded without a greeting and positive tone. During my consultation, it was the same personalized experience as 3 years ago but this time Dr. Liu brought out my previous notes to reassure me that I was consistent and wanted the same thing 3 years later. This was reassuring to me and once again provided me with confidence! Out of the 3 different surgeons that I had breast implant consultations with, Dr Liu's office made an overall lasting impression. read more

I received both a Botox treatment and micro needling from Nurse Amanda. She explained the procedure thoroughly and was extremely knowledgeable. She followed up on results and you can tell that she really wants to perfect her craft. Will be going back! read more

Dr. Tom Liu provided me with amazing results and all the staff at SVIA are incredibly helpful and friendly. I had a drainless tummy tuck, breast lift with donut incision and breast augmentation and I couldn't be happier! I chose Dr. Liu specifically for his beautiful outcomes; belly buttons with little visible scaring and natural looking breasts that fit each persons body without looking overdone. Dr. Liu was very professional, personable, knowledgeable and reassuring during each of our meetings and easily understood my concerns and goals. I really appreciate his attention to safety, modern and up to date skills/knowledge of procedures and reasonable approach to giving me what I wanted without trying to "upsell" me. My recovery was smooth and I always felt supported by Dr. Lui and his staff throughout the entire process. My results are better than I imagined they could ever be and truly believe it's all due to having chosen the best and right doctor for the job! I surely recommend SVIA for any procedure you may be considering! read more

Beyond impressed with this doctor and staff. Went in for a facelift and was dead set on getting it. I'm 45 . After talking surgery me for a goood 45 minutes and taking his time to understand my hopes and concerns the doctor convinced me to consider having the face tight procedure before I decided on a very invasive a facelift at 45. Mind you a facelift would have been 4x the money in his pocket. I decided to have the facetite and omg ... thank goodness the doctor took the time to explain my real options to me , I'm over the moon happy with the results. Thank you to Dr.Lou and JoHanna for being amazing . HIGHLY RECOMMEND them . My sister is flying here next to get hers done by them as well. The phots that includes posting are directly before face tite and one week later. read more

Amanda is amazing! She administered both botox and daxxify services on me. I highly recommend her. She is an expert in the services she provides. read more

I have had Botox and lip filler with Nurse Amanda and both experiences were amazing. Having gotten lip filler at other offices I can definitely say my experience and results with her are the best. I would recommend anyone looking into either procedure to book with her! read more

Dr Tom Liu was my second consultation I had scheduled out of three. After my consultation with him I immediately cancelled my third consultation because I knew I wanted him to do the surgery. I am so happy I found him on Yelp. He is so thorough during all my appointments with him. He takes his time and answers every single question I have had. I have never once felt rushed during our appointments which is something that is really hard to find in a Dr. I started looking at plastic surgeons for a breast augmentation after breastfeeding my three babies. I was left with very deflated breasts that had no volume and I thought I might also need a breast lift as well. I went in there thinking I knew exactly what I wanted but he was so informative with his recommendations that I trusted his professional advice and went with a subfascial placement and 450cc and he was confident he could give me great results without a lift. I initially thought I wanted under the muscle and 350cc. I am so happy I went with his recommendations. They are the perfect size for my body and the recovery was so easy. The subfascial placement was definitely the best way to go. I felt good enough to return back to class and regular activity after a week and I was back to almost 100% after 3 weeks. (Everyone is different in their recovery) I would recommend him to anyone and everyone I know. In fact many of my friends and family are planning on making consultations with him when they are ready for their life changing surgeries. read more

10/10 I am so happy that I found Dr. Liu. I had a great experience with him and the entire staff as well. Dr. Liu is professional and kind. I never felt like I was being misinformed or pushed into anything I wasn't sure about. I really did feel supported by the entire team in the office, inside and out. They checked up on me, immediately responded to any of my concerns, and were always so informative and patient (even with all of my ridiculous questions). It's hard to find a team that is so caring and trustworthy. I really do appreciate how above and beyond everyone has been. Dr. Liu, you rock! Thank you for helping me feel more comfortable in my skin. read more

Dr. Liu is an excellent surgeon. He has a wonderful personality and is very precise in his work and cares for his patients. I got a mommy makeover and I am very very pleased with the results. I recommend Dr. Liu to anyone and everyone and have already recommended him to my friends that are looking to get plastic surgery. Also, the staff is so friendly and patient with whatever questions you may call for regarding whatever procedure you may want to get or have already had. They are always smiling and friendly. I am looking forward to getting more work done with Dr. Liu and his staff. read more

We had numerous consultations for a Breast lift and augmentation before we decided to go with Dr.Liu and his wonderful staff. All I can say is WOW!!! We could not be any happier with the results and the care she received was second to none. We live in Hawaii but we liked dr Liu so much that we decided it was well worth the trip to the mainland. If you are looming for a caring, professional, expert Dr and staff to handle your breast augmentation and/or lift, look no further!! My girl is 53 and her breasts look like perfect 25 yr old breasts again. Recovery was less than expected and we couldn't be happier with her new sweater muffins . Thank you sooooooo much Dr Liu and staff!!! You are the best!!! read more

I had such an amazing experience here, the staff and Dr.Liu we're so kind and welcoming. I never felt unsure or uncomfortable just overall a good place. Very happy with my results! read more

I found Dr. Tom Liu here on Yelp when browsing plastic surgeons. I loved that the other reviews mentioned how personable he was and that he had great attention to detail. They were not wrong. Dr. Liu and his staff provide excellent care and they were all very informative of any questions I had; from my first call to book a consult, I was given all the information I needed and answered any questions I had going forth. Throughout the experience from pre-op appointment to the day of surgery, Dr. Liu and his staff made sure everything was perfect! Bedside manner and being personable are important to me as I am a nurse myself so immediately I was 100% comfortable with the decision for surgery with Dr. Liu. Additionally, no one made me feel bad for coming back when I was on the fence about the size that I wanted for my implants. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon- definitely meet with Dr. Liu. He is by far the best! You won't regret it! I'd like to mention that the pre-op and post-nurses said amazing things about Dr. Liu at the surgery center. He truly takes pride on his work and you can easily see that. read more

Got my lips done for the first time & I'm honestly really disappointed I can't believe I paid $$$ for something that didn't even last even a month. I thought lip fillers were supposed to last at least up to 4 months or so. My lips feels and looks exactly how my lips were before I got them done. Never felt so disappointed #waste of money. read more

My daughter had surgery with Dr Tom Liu in December and he is the best! He is so kind and pays attention to every detail. He was knowledgeable and spent a lot of time answering all of her questions, and even when she couldn't decide on what she wanted, he added another appointment before her surgery to give her more time to discuss and review the options. He was punctual to all the appointments and thoroughly answered every single question we had. The office is so clean and beautiful and the office staff was always responsive. He also had a 3D device that showed the size and shape of what she would look like after the surgery, which I thought that was awesome. He is truly amazing, and he is an expert surgeon. She is 6 weeks post op now, and she looks beautiful! Highly recommend him and that's why he deserves and is 5 stars. Thank you Dr Liu and staff read more

Dr. Liu is amazing! If you are looking to get any type of augmentation he is the best pick. He is high attention to detail which is great.

Dr. Liu has the best bedside manners and really listens to your concerns and answers all of your questions. So patient and kind, doesn't rush you at all. His work is just as amazing as he is. read more
