Gabriel Chiu
Beverly Hills, CA
Dr. Gabriel Chiu, DO, is a dual board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery (AOBS) and American Board of Physician Specialties (ASPS) in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He has more than 20 years of experience serving patients from across Los Angeles and around the world. Based in Beverly Hills, California, Dr. Chiu founded and leads Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery®, his private practice located at 9454 Wilshire Boulevard in the heart of Beverly Hills — a destination known for its personalized approach, surgical precision, and results that are consistently natural and proportionate. Recognized by Los Angeles magazine as one of L.A.’s Best, Dr. Chiu has earned a reputation that extends far beyond Southern California, drawing international patients who seek a plastic surgeon whose artistry and rigor are equally matched.
How Dr. Gabriel Chiu’s Training Shaped One of Beverly Hills’ Most Credentialed Plastic Surgeons
Few plastic surgeons arrive at a Beverly Hills practice with the depth of academic and clinical preparation that defines Dr. Gabriel Chiu’s career. Dr. Chiu earned his undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of California, Berkeley, before completing his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific — Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. His postgraduate training advanced through a surgical internship, a general surgery residency, and a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed between 2001 and 2003. In the fellowship’s second year, Dr. Chiu was appointed Chief Fellow — a role that placed him in charge of plastic and reconstructive surgery education for medical students, surgical interns, and oromaxillofacial surgery residents. Earlier in his training, he served as Chief Resident in general surgery, a distinction typically awarded to one resident per program and one that reflects exceptional surgical judgment and leadership.
Dr. Chiu holds dual board certifications in plastic and reconstructive surgery: from the American Board of Physician Specialties and from the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons — two of the three recognized physician certifying bodies in the United States. Combined with more than two decades of dedicated aesthetic practice, these credentials establish Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® as a practice built on a foundation that is both rigorous and rare.
What Procedures Does Dr. Gabriel Chiu Specialize In?
At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery®, Dr. Chiu’s practice is dedicated exclusively to elective aesthetic plastic surgery — cosmetic procedures for the face, breasts, and body — with each procedural category reflecting the same commitment to surgical precision and individualized outcome. Facial plastic surgery at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® includes facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty, performed with an understanding that facial anatomy varies widely between patients and that truly excellent results must honor those differences rather than override them. Dr. Chiu approaches every facial case as a study in proportion, ensuring that surgical refinements integrate naturally with a patient’s existing features rather than announcing themselves.
Breast surgery represents a significant area of Dr. Chiu’s practice, with breast augmentation among the procedures for which Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® is most widely known. Implant selection, projection, incision strategy, and pocket placement are all calibrated to each patient’s frame, tissue quality, and aesthetic goals — producing outcomes patients consistently describe as balanced and anatomically harmonious. Body contouring procedures, including abdominoplasty and liposuction-based sculpting, round out the surgical repertoire, with Dr. Chiu’s artistic sensibility particularly apparent in the sculpted silhouettes he achieves for patients seeking comprehensive body transformation.
Dr. Gabriel Chiu’s Approach to Personalized Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills
What distinguishes Dr. Gabriel Chiu within the broader field of Beverly Hills plastic surgery is a philosophy of individualization that shapes every consultation, every treatment plan, and every surgical decision. Rather than applying a standardized approach across patients, Dr. Chiu designs each plan around the individual’s anatomy, personal aesthetic goals, lifestyle, and recovery capacity. Surgical and nonsurgical options may be considered independently or in thoughtful combination — a flexibility that reflects both clinical experience and a genuine commitment to serving each patient’s long-term wellbeing rather than any single procedural outcome.
This bespoke approach has cultivated a practice that draws patients well beyond the Los Angeles region, with Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® regularly welcoming clients from across the country and from international markets who travel to Beverly Hills specifically to work with Dr. Chiu. The practice maintains a reputation built not on volume but on the quality and consistency of results — a distinction that patient reviews across multiple platforms and the Los Angeles magazine L.A.’s Best designation both reflect.
Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation and Skin Care at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery®
Not every patient who comes to Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® is ready for surgery — nor do they need to be. Dr. Chiu and his team offer a comprehensive range of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation and medically supervised skin care treatments designed to address the visible effects of aging, including volume loss, uneven texture, and softening facial contours, without requiring downtime or a surgical intervention. The practice’s in-office skin care lounge serves as a flagship location for SkinCeuticals, the physician-grade skin care brand, and provides physician-supervised treatment options that meet the same standards of personalization and safety as the surgical practice.
For patients at earlier stages of their aesthetic journey, or those looking to maintain and enhance results between procedures, the nonsurgical offerings at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® represent a clinically substantive alternative to surgery — administered by a team whose standards are shaped by surgical-level training and expectations.
Patient Education, Safety, and the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® Experience
The culture at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® is built around patient education, transparency, and preparation. Dr. Gabriel Chiu takes the time at every consultation to walk through available options, explain realistic outcomes, and ensure that each patient reaches a decision through informed dialogue rather than pressure or urgency. This unhurried, patient-centered approach is reflected in years of consistent recognition: from 2008 through 2012, Dr. Chiu received the Patient’s Choice Award each year, earning him the Patient’s Choice 5th Anniversary Award — a distinction accumulated over half a decade of verified patient feedback.
Dr. Chiu also received the California State Assembly Certificate of Recognition and the State of California Commendation for Dedicated Service to Community and Leadership in 2008, and a Certificate of Appreciation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2013 — formal acknowledgments of contributions that extend well beyond the operating room. Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery® supports more than 30 charitable organizations, among them the American Cancer Society, Operation Smile, and UNICEF, reflecting a practice that understands patient care and community care as inseparable.
