The Evolution ofBay Area Aesthetic Surgery and the Svia Network
Our established network of Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery, Liu Plastic Surgery/SVIA Plastic Surgery Sacramento, and SVIA MedSpa in San Mateo and Los Gatos represents an institution of high-end luxury and quality service within one framework. We are passionate about providing a personalized experience that inspires our patients to feel confident about themselves and their lives. Our goal is to bring out the best in every patient that walks through our doors and entrusts us with their aesthetic journey. For us, there is no compromise.
Our History
Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics (SVIA) was established through a shared vision, ethos, and passion for aesthetics of two plastic surgeons who coincidentally share the same last name but who are not related: Dr. Tom Liu and Dr. Jerome Liu. The two plastic surgeons met at UCLA while in residency, and a bond was forged.
2010
Liu Plastic Surgery was established. The practice started in a sublet office, open a few days a week, with a single employee.
2011
Our San Jose location was opened to serve clients throughout the areas of San Jose, Los Gatos, and the entire Silicon Valley region. The “Beauty Clinic,” was established, the precursor to SVIA Medspa.
2013
We moved into our current state-of-the-art facility in Los Gatos, located at 15055 Los Gatos Blvd.
2016
We opened our first office in Sacramento and transitioned our Los Gatos facility to deliver only aesthetic surgeries.
2018
The journey led to purchasing Peninsula Skin Clinic in San Mateo. We then merged it with The Beauty Clinic, forming SVIA Medspa.
2020
The practice continued to grow, leading to the acquisition of Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery, and the creation of a new entity, “Institute of Aesthetics and Liu Plastic Surgery,” as we are now known, after merging Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery with Liu Plastic Surgery.

JEROME H. LIU, MD. MSHS
After discovering his passion for cosmetic surgery at a relatively early age, Dr. Liu went on to complete his medical education at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, earning some of the highest possible honors. His talent and expertise has only been enhanced by his ability to study under some of the industry's most respected luminaries.
Dr. Tom Liu graduated from Northewestern University before earning his medical degree at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine. Dr. Liu has authored a variety of manuscripts in respected, peer-reviewed journals and continues to develop his skill and hone his expertise at every available opportunity.
Dr. Joel Beck started Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery after taking over Dr. Robert Brink's aesthetic plastic surgery practice in 2003. The combination of practices has now been caring for Bay Area residents for more than 50 years. Finding new partnership was challenging, but Dr. Beck finally found the partnership he was seeking in Drs. Jerome Liu and Tom Liu and their staff at Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics (SVIA).

The female breast is not only a source of nurturing and life-sustaining nourishment, it can also be a sign of youthfulness, vitality and lust for life. The ability to enhance, refine, lift and reshape the bust can provide a huge improvement in one's self-image and self-confidence, as clothes begin to fit better and friends and family members begin to comment on your exciting transformation.
