Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions after pregnancy, weight loss, or natural development. Our surgeons customize implant selection and placement techniques to achieve natural-looking results that align with patients' body goals while maintaining safety and long-term satisfaction.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to refine body contours. Suitable for areas like abdomen, thighs, and arms, this procedure addresses diet-resistant fat pockets. We employ advanced techniques including tumescent and laser-assisted liposuction for smoother results and quicker recovery while maintaining skin integrity and natural proportions.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses visible aging signs through skin tightening and tissue repositioning. Targets jowls, neck laxity, and midface sagging while preserving natural facial expressions. Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern minimal-incision methods to achieve youthful, long-lasting results that enhance rather than alter patients' unique features.
Gender-Affirming Surgery
Comprehensive gender confirmation procedures include breast augmentation, top surgery, and body contouring. Our team specializes in creating anatomical harmony aligned with patients' gender identity. We provide personalized surgical plans incorporating hormone therapy considerations and offer coordinated care with mental health professionals to ensure holistic, affirming treatment experiences.
Non-Surgical Injectables
Injectable treatments address facial aging through BOTOX and dermal fillers. Targets wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture concerns with minimal downtime. Our providers use precise injection techniques to achieve natural rejuvenation while maintaining facial expressiveness, offering both immediate results and long-term skin health benefits.

ALERT: They no longer specialize in trans gender affirming care. Dr. Beck is no longer involved in Bay Area procedures and treatments even though they still claim to be specialists in trans surgeries with Dr. Beck all over their website. Be careful out there folks, make sure you find doctors who specialize in your gender affirming care!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Liu and his team. They were all incredibly professional, warm, accommodating of my last-minute changes, and very thorough when answering my multitude of questions. Getting a cosmetic procedure was a big step for me, and I felt supported the whole way. My results are stellar, and I couldn't be happier. Many thanks to Dr. Liu!

My son Wesley went to Dr. Beck for the first step of many in his transgender surgeries. Dr. Beck was very thorough and explained everything that was going to happen during Wesley's top surgery and lyppo sculpting to get a more masculine body shape. What to expect after surgery and what could go wrong. His staff was as amazing as he was! They are all very comforting and answer any and all questions I can't believe how great the scars look and how well they are healing.
The way he has sutured them there will be very little scar to notice when all is healed. I'm actually thinking of going to Dr. Beck for lyppo sculpting on my inner thighs, hips, flanks and arms. A BIG THANK YOU, To Dr. Beck and his staff!
