Shape Clinic

The World-Renowned Aesthetics Clinic in the Heart of Sydney!

Established in 2005, Shape Clinic is the vision of Dr. Steven Liew, one of Australasia’s leading Specialist Plastic Surgeons. Dr Liew is praised globally for his expertise, and world first techniques in facial enhancement.

With a passion and determination for continuous improvement, Shape Clinic is recognised within the plastic and cosmetic industry as an international centre of excellence and research.

Whilst Dr Liew specialises in both breast and facial surgery, his devotion to the aesthetic industry has also seen him develop a series of world first non-surgical procedures which have earned him an international reputation.

These pioneering techniques to re-shape and dramatically transform facial shapes and features have revolutionised the industry. Many also know Dr Liew from his sell out event, Aesthetics Australia where the objective is to share, learn and advance together.

Dr Liew aims to promote industry growth by enhancing the overall standards of non-surgical therapies. Dr Liew is also the first practitioner of choice for pharmaceutical companies and aesthetic medical providers when launching new generation dermal fillers, advanced facial procedures, and medical equipment onto the market in Australia and Asia.

Poised to set a new standard in aesthetic improvement, Shape Clinic is situated in a Darlinghurst warehouse conversion. Dr Liew worked alongside local Paddington Interior Architect, George Livissianis to create the new space. Moving from the 1st floor to the top floor which is 200 square meters in size and spread out over two levels with striking Sydney views and a large outdoor space. The project started in June 2021 and was completed in November 2022.

Dr Liew designed a space that reflects his personality; a visionary, highly astute, accomplished, functional and serene. A space that once you enter, shuts the outside world out. Somewhere that would support the growing clinic, but also craft a sense of calm, while expressing the approach of his clinic’s practice - which is at the forefront of new aesthetics and cosmetic procedures in Australia.

The space has been sculpted with curves that intuitively flow from one area to the next, adding softness and beauty whilst creating a vibrant feeling. For Dr Liew, shape is at the heart of aesthetics. The softness in the curve reflects the physical beauty, every part of the face as a complex space, gently guiding from a convex surface to a gentle concave curve, nothing flat, nothing sharp. Soft, organic beauty. Shape is a life force, it creates emotion and when our shape is in harmony, everything falls into place.
