In Dr. Jerome H. Liu's own words

How Dr. Jerome H. Liu describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • Anything that is larger than nano, we feel is more inflammatory to the body and has the potential for long-term complications
  • I think one of the biggest advances for me personally is just the maturity of the surgical thinking and how I approach every problem

Specialization

  • Specializes in face, breast, and body procedures

Technique

  • So come new implants and new technology with better shell and host interaction with much lower rates of inflammation and lower capsular contracture rates we're now able to go in front of the muscle or subfascial
  • The practice is among a small, select group in the U.S. with early access to the Motiva Preserve Breast Augmentation technique.

Technology

  • We're excited to bring this technology to our patients at the Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics in California

Training & credentials

Consultation

  • But the more you articulate or illustrate the goal that you're trying to achieve, the better we can help develop a plan

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Jerome H. Liu

Sourced directly from Dr. Jerome H. Liu's social posts and replies.

What is the Motiva Preserve Breast Augmentation technique?
Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu have completed advanced, hands-on training for Motiva implants Preserve Breast Augmentation.

How should I prepare for my consultation with Dr. Liu?
Dr. Liu recommends coming to your consultation with an idea of what you would like to achieve. The practice views consultations as a collaborative process, not a one-way conversation, believing there's no one-size-fits-all surgical plan. The more you share about your goals, preferences, and concerns, the more they can customize your procedure to fit you.
What is FaceTite and what are its benefits and recovery?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that combines skin tightening, real collagen stimulation, and targeted fat removal. It's suitable for individuals seeking a tighter, more contoured look, especially those who want to achieve results without undergoing surgery. FaceTite can result in a refined jawline and leaves zero surgical scarring. Minor pain and swelling are expected, but most patients can rejoin their daily routine after one or two days of rest.
What is QuantumRF and what areas can it treat?
QuantumRF is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that can be applied to various areas including jawlines, necks, bodies, and even post-weight-loss skin. It may be a beneficial treatment for individuals seeking skin tightening.
Does the practice offer promotions for filler treatments?
The practice offers a $50 match towards filler treatments when booking with a Mid-Level Injector.
Can I choose between an MD or Mid-Level Injector for my appointment?
Yes, appointments for treatments like Juvederm can be made with either an MD or a Mid-Level Injector.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and who is an ideal candidate?
A BBL uses the patient's own fat, without implants, to enhance the shape, volume, or lift of the buttocks. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have enough donor fat available from areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, or love handles. The procedure offers the dual benefit of contouring the donor site and volumizing the buttocks for a more balanced, proportionate silhouette that is entirely the patient's own.
What should patients know about breast implant texture and risks?
Dr. Liu believes patients deserve to understand breast implant texture. He states that implant surface textures more aggressive than nano-texture carry a higher inflammatory potential and a greater risk of long-term complications. The recalled Allergan Biocell macro-textured implant serves as a reminder of why implant selection matters. The practice is available to help patients who have questions about their current implants.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$790

Payments

24

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Jerome H. Liu received $790 across 24 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
