“I have been Dr. Mabrie’s patient for two years and have had an absolute AMAZING experience in every way possible! I would definitely call Dr. Mabrie the Michelangelo of fillers - he is a true artist in the way he is able to assess your face, use his experienced injection technique, and sculpt in a way that looks natural and so flattering! From the few filler injections he’s done, I look like my younger self again, don’t have to wear much makeup anymore, and I feel and look more awake! Dr. Mabrie really cares about every detail of your face (they track all slight changes of before and after with high quality photos which really helps) and he only recommends what he think will actually help/be worth it after you share what you’re hoping to achieve, which is so refreshing to experience in the aesthetic industry that is full of so many treatments! If you want to find a provider who is both incredibly well trained, experienced, and talented, and truly cares about the outcomes of filler and how you feel about them, that’s Dr. Mabrie! I always look forward to visiting his office and every person on the team is so welcoming, caring, and helpful! As someone who was overall hesitant about filler from what I’ve seen online, I’ve been very satisfied with the results of my filler journey, and that’s thanks to Dr. Mabrie’s impeccable technique!”
“I honestly wish my appointments were longer, because this is genuinely one of the nicest groups of professionals you could ever meet! I always leave their office contemplating a career change just so I could spend more time with them. There’s nothing stuffy or intimidating about the environment. The entire team strikes that perfect balance between professionalism, warmth, and genuine fun. During my most recent visit, Lindsay was assisting me before Dr. Mabrie came in, and I kept having to cover my mouth to keep my laughter from echoing through the office. That should tell you everything you need to know about the atmosphere they’ve created. This certainly wasn’t my first visit, and it won’t be my last. The results are consistently exceptional, but what keeps me coming back is the experience as a whole. I originally sought out Dr. Mabrie for a very specific reason. As a person of color, I wanted someone who I felt would truly understand the nuances of my facial features, expressions, and anatomy. If I was going to trust someone with my face, I wanted to feel confident that they would appreciate what makes it uniquely mine, rather than approach it with a one-size-fits-all aesthetic. Dr. Mabrie has absolutely earned that trust. I always leave looking like myself, just refreshed, and feeling like I’ve spent time with people who genuinely enjoy what they do. Exceptional results are one thing. Exceptional people delivering those results are another. This practice manages to offer both, and that’s what makes it so special.”
“Dr. Mabrie and his staff — shout out to front desk and Vivian! — are skillful and kind. From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave, everything is about your comfort. Be prepared to wait — but good work is worth waiting for. The mastery Dr. Mabrie has, and the results he gets, are truly satisfying, bordering on magic.”
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Mabrie for 10 years, and I truly can’t recommend him enough. He was the very first doctor to do fillers on my face, and thanks to his incredible skill, I’ve been able to maintain natural, beautiful results with just one visit a year. My name is Jessica Rich, and I’m the founder and designer of the Jessica Rich footwear brand based in Los Angeles. Looking and feeling confident is an important part of my career, and I genuinely credit Dr. Mabrie for helping me feel my best over the last decade. Today I came in for a touch-up to my nose, cheeks, and chin, and once again, I couldn’t be happier with my results. What sets Dr. Mabrie apart is his precision and artistry. As a facial plastic surgeon, he has an incredible understanding of facial anatomy, and every injection is intentional and beautifully placed. My results always look natural, balanced, and never overdone. As an African American woman, I also appreciate that he understands how to enhance every face beautifully, regardless of skin tone or ethnicity. I trust him completely and wouldn’t let anyone else touch my face. Beyond his talent, his entire team is warm, welcoming, and professional. The office is absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxing, and it’s always a pleasure to visit. Conveniently located in downtown San Francisco, it’s well worth the trip. After 10 years as his patient, I can honestly say Dr. Mabrie is one of the best in the industry. If you’re considering facial fillers or facial balancing, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I truly couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my face.”
“I had my appointment on 4/16/2026 at Mabrie Facial Institute for Botox and fillers. As a male, and only my second time ever having facial work done (my 1st experience at a different provider without a positive outcome), I went in feeling a bit skeptical. That said, the experience itself was excellent. The office feels like a sanctuary, and when I walked in, I was welcomed with refreshments & hospitality. They offered a chance to relax in a full-body massage chair before meeting with Dr. Mabrie. The staff is not only attractive, but also warm, friendly, and very accommodating. Vivian made sure I knew my way around, and Rochelle prepped me for what to expect when the Doc saw me. What really stood out during my consultation was how thorough and intentional Dr. Mabrie was. Before starting anything, he took the time to draw a detailed “map” on my face and walked me through the entire plan step-by-step. He explained exactly what he was going to do and why, which made me feel informed, comfortable, and confident moving forward. More importantly, I made a conscious decision to wait over a week before writing this review so I could base it primarily on what actually matters most—RESULTS, not JUST the in-office experience. After giving the results time to fully settle in, I can honestly say I am impressed. The outcome is clear & distinct, and has restored my confidence in receiving aesthetic treatments. At the end of the day, we go to businesses for RESULTS—and Mabrie Facial Institute delivered.. “I’ll be back”.”
