Profile

After graduating from the UCSF School of Medicine in 1995, Dr. Mabrie started to follow in his father’s footsteps—head and neck surgery. He completed a general surgery internship and then went on to complete a residency for head and neck surgery at Johns Hopkins. Then he completed an additional fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Stanford, ultimately hanging out his shingle as a facial plastic surgeon in San Francisco.

In the 15 years since, he has set a new standard of care in aesthetic medicine.

With the mindset of both a surgeon and an artist, he began rethinking the possibilities of injectables (dermal fillers and neurotoxins). He found himself drawn to the possibilities of non-surgical treatments and decided to embark on a new (at the time) approach to aesthetics. He began to intensely study, train, and practice with fillers, and for more than a decade, he has focused his practice exclusively on non-surgical facial contouring and rejuvenation.

Years of experience with fillers and other injectables led Dr. Mabrie to develop the Illumination 360° approach. This involves studying the way light interacts with facial features and using injectables to optimize facial contours from every angle, in any light.

His passion for aesthetics and for education cultivated an exceptional level of expertise with injectables. DermaSculpt® has recognized Dr. Mabrie’s skill by authorizing him to educate other practitioners in the use of the DermaSculpt microcannula. He has also been voted the RealSelf community’s Most Loved Injector in the Bay Area; won the New Beauty award for Best Results With JUVÉDERM VOLUMA; is a 2018 Galderma GAIN trainer; was named among the RealSelf Top 500; is a 5-time Castle Connolly Top Doctor; and is an Allergan Top 250 provider.

Dr. Mabrie is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, is an extremely good communicator – including really listening to you, an outstanding artistic eye, and a fabulously warm personality that makes you not mind getting a needle stuck into your face. For the past two years I have been dealing with very disfiguring damage a plastic surgeon did to one side of my face. Dr. Mabrie was recommended as one of very few who had the plastic surgery and filler skill and experience to be able to help me. And he sure did! It will take multiple sessions but with just the first he’s made a very big improvement – so much so that I’ve been able to confidently rejoin social activities, to feel really happy again. I live 3 hours away so I was very glad that a nurse, Lindsey, was assigned to my case to help me provide in advance everything they needed. Given the damage that had been done to my face I was very anxious and had thousands of questions that she very thoroughly answered. She is very knowledgeable and also very good at communicating. And is extremely warm and friendly. Elle, the receptionist, was also warm and extremely helpful. She made the logistics of going to the office for the first time – from 3 hours away – totally anxiety free and familiar as if I had been there many times before. You’re probably reading reviews because you’re researching places to have facial filler. From someone whose had the nightmare we all fear will happen, this is the place you want to go. Dr. Mabrie is the one you want to go to.

I did it!!! I finally got Botox and fillers. Thank you, Dr. Mabrie, for an incredible experience. Dermal fillers require more than medical training — they demand true artistry. An injector must deeply understand facial anatomy and know exactly how to place filler to create harmony, balance, and natural beauty. I’ve always been a “no pain, no gain” type of person, but honestly, fillers are among the least painful cosmetic treatments while still delivering some of the most transformative results. Another huge selling point for me — especially as someone who can be a little insecure or overly cautious — is that fillers aren’t permanent. If the worst were to happen, you’re not stuck with the results forever. Unlike surgical procedures, which can’t be fully reversed, dermal fillers and Botox can be adjusted, refined, or even dissolved. And the bonus? They even stimulate your own collagen production, making the long-term benefits even more rewarding. As a first-timer, I was nervous, but Dr. Mabrie’s clear explanations, professionalism, and gentle approach made the entire experience effortless. His staff was warm, attentive, and made me feel genuinely cared for from start to finish. Thank you, Dr. Mabrie, for your exceptional skill and artistic eye. I’m so excited to see my refreshed, more confident self! Highly recommended! Stay beautiful and or more beautiful!

Dr. Mabrie is truly an artist when it comes to aesthetic treatments and Non-surgical facial rejuvenation. He takes the time to listen to your goals, explain everything clearly, and create a custom treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty—never overdone, always flawless. I left feeling refreshed, confident, and still completely like myself—just a more rested, glowing version! I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr. Mabrie and his incredible team! A special thank you to Vivian, who was incredibly kind and attentive during my visit—she made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her warm energy and professionalism! From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a calming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The clinic is not only beautiful and spotless but feels more like a luxury spa than a medical office.
