Gabriel Chiu, DO

I consulted with two surgeons in Chicago for diastasis recti repair, and Dr. Chiu’s consultation was by far the most thorough and reassuring. He took his time, explained exactly what he would be doing, and never rushed the appointment. I truly appreciated that transparency — it immediately built trust. I avoided surgery for over 10 years because I believed I could fix the muscle separation through physical therapy and core strengthening. I worked extremely hard at it, but over time my lower back pain turned into a chain reaction of discomfort into my hips and even up toward my neck. There were days when my back was so unstable that I would hold myself up with one arm against the counter while brushing my teeth with the other, or lean into my elbows while doing dishes to take pressure off my lower back. Other medical professionals explained how the abdominal separation was likely contributing to the instability. By the time I began consulting with surgeons, I knew this was about function and long-term quality of life. During consultations, abdominoplasty and liposuction were consistently discussed. I was hesitant at first because I’m conservative when it comes to surgery, but after speaking with close friends and family members in the medical field, I felt reassured that including the abdominoplasty was appropriate given what my body had been through — and I’m glad I did. The procedure went smoothly, and Dr. Chiu and his staff were exceptional — kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Now, almost a year later, my back pain has improved immensely and my body feels stable and aligned again. I can brush my teeth and stand at the sink doing dishes without needing to hold myself up. That alone feels life-changing. Even simple daily things feel easier and more comfortable. Before surgery, excess loose skin would literally get caught when I zipped up my pants. That no longer happens, because the loose skin was properly removed — and that small but constant frustration is completely gone. As an added benefit, I genuinely feel like I look like I’m in my 20s. People often assume I’m in my 20s and don’t believe I have four children, and friends who have known me for years keep asking what my “glow up” is. I also believe preparation and recovery matter tremendously. I had surgery in April 2025, but I began preparing in January by cleaning up my diet and cutting out processed foods and alcohol. In the three weeks leading up to surgery, I followed all pre-op instructions carefully — focusing on protein, vegetables, hydration, and high-quality supplements. After surgery, I prioritized recovery with an exceptional nursing care team I was referred to, hyperbaric treatments, lymphatic massages, and several weeks of true rest. Healthy habits before and after surgery were vital to successful healing and beautiful results. Most importantly, I feel strong, confident, and comfortable in my body again. I’m so grateful I chose Dr. Chiu.

Gabriel Chui is not only an amazing surgeon, but also an amazing person. He takes his time during your consultation to answer any questions you might have. He ensures that whatever surgery you are having he will 100% make you look your absolute best NATURALLY.

Just over a year ago, I had traveled to California to Dr.Chiu. I was looking at having a liposuction done while also trying to do a fat transfer to my breast after going in for my initial consultation. I decided that he was a great fit for what I wanted to do with it being just over a year now since my procedure I am very happy with the results as initially he had taken out quite a bit of pure fat and was able to get my breast to be a full cup bigger. I am very impressed with his work and very happy that I made the decision to use him for my procedure. I recommend him to anyone looking as me being my first time ever having something like this done. I was very nervous and he was very understanding and very helpful along the way. Thank you Dr.Chiu Sa B

I had a fat transfer to breast 9 weeks ago. I have low body fat (BMI of 18) but Dr. Chiu was able to get 260 CCs for each breast, which was impressive. I did liposuction of my abs, flanks, lower back, and upper inner thighs. While the recovery from liposuction was definitely hard, I am feeling great now and happy with my results. I had a small, somewhat "deflated" breasts to begin with. Dr. Chiu was able to give me more overall volume, as well as a fuller "upper pole". My breasts look like they did when I was in my early twenties. I can wear sports bras and unpadded bikini tops now without my chest basically disappearing. I think this is an excellent procedure for people who are only looking for a modest increase in size/fullness and aren't sure about implants. I have been very diligent about following post-operative instructions and think I have retained about half of my transferred fat. Unlike a couple of other doctors I met with, Dr. Chiu really took the time to understand my goals and did not pressure me to go bigger or go with a traditional breast augmentation using implants. He is very friendly and the appointments never felt rushed. He was also super clear with me about what I could expect in terms of results. I had realistic expectations going into the procedure and am very glad I did it.

I’ve been treated by Dr Chiu for the last 13 years. I will never go to any other Dr. I believe in him, trust him and he’s the best! Top of the line. He and his staff are always so friendly and professional. Thank always BHPS

Dr Gabriel and his nurses were so friendly and made me feel so safe! They definitely made me feel comfortable for my BA and answered all my questions (I had many) and still followed up with me even when I was overseas. I felt comfortable addressing all my concerns pre and post op with them

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 a 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 of my heart!

Dr Chiu is really patient and professional, he explains everything and addresses my concerns patiently. Also the nurses are very nice and helpful. I have a great experience here at bhps, highly recommended.

After such an excellent experience with Dr. Chiu at BHPS for breast augmentation, I went back for Botox and filler and could not have been more pleased with the results! I have struggled with TMJ problems for years, so having an injector knowledgeable in how to obtain the results I was looking for while also providing information on secondary benefits was incredible! Thanks guys, I’ll be back! (:

I've been going to Dr. Chiu for over 15 years, and he is the best surgeon in town. Dr. Chiu knows what he is doing and made me comfortable before my surgery. Dr. Chiu and the staff are helpful, knowledgable and professional.
