Donald S. Mowlds, MD

Donald S. Mowlds, MD I look forward to meeting you in our beautiful office and discussing the result of your dreams.

My initial interest in plastic surgery came during several trips to rural Guatemala with a team of compassionate, hard-working surgeons and nurses. There I witnessed the life-altering impact of plastic surgery on individuals, families and communities. I remained inspired throughout my extensive education and countless surgeries, always striving to perfect my craft. I received my undergraduate degree from Brown University with Honors in Neuroscience. There, I was captain of the Menโ€™s Golf team, a sport that remains a passion of mine to this day. I received my medical degree (MD) from the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Paul Merage School of Business. I completed six years of training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery with the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of California, Irvine, undoubtedly the most comprehensive training program in the country. Over the years, I have worked determinedly to remain at the forefront of the plastic surgery field. As an innovator, I co-invented an implantable product currently used in breast reconstruction around the world. In addition to publishing extensively in the areas of breast cancer and reconstructive surgery, body contouring and facial aesthetics, I have co-authored numerous book chapters with renowned colleagues and traveled the world to lecture and collaborate. Most importantly, I have forged many meaningful bonds with my patients that continue to influence me as a doctor and surgeon.

Scar management is something I take seriously with every surgery ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ Itโ€™s part of the whole process, not just an afterthought.

Before surgery, we talk about how you personally tend to scar so I can have a solid game plan in place from the start. I use different strategies and treatments - from silicone and skincare to laser and light-based options - to help scars heal as smoothly as possible.

Everyoneโ€™s skin heals differently, and my goal is always to make things look as seamless and natural as they can. My goal is to set you up for the best possible result, from incision to final outcome. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

โ€œGood, because I already did!โ€

Gotta love my motivated patients who are eager to get back to it! But it does keep me up at night too! ๐Ÿ˜†

This is your reminder to schedule your tox appointment so youโ€™re looking smooth and refreshed for the holidays. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

With busy schedules and upcoming events, itโ€™s the perfect time to get ahead and let your results settle in before the celebrations begin. Botox typically takes about two weeks to reach its full effect, so planning ahead makes all the difference. A subtle refresh can help you look rested and confident, even during the busiest season. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

When we talk about abdominal fat, there are two main types: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat - and they behave very differently.

Subcutaneous fat sits just beneath the skin and is the soft layer you can pinch, making it ideal for body contouring treatments like liposuction.
Visceral fat, on the other hand, lies deeper around your internal organs, giving the abdomen a firmer, more โ€œbloatedโ€ look that canโ€™t be treated with contouring devices.

The only way to reduce visceral fat is through consistent lifestyle changes like nutrition and exercise.

While I can sculpt and smooth the subcutaneous layer beautifully, your overall core health is what helps manage that deeper visceral layer from within.

Book a consultation to learn which body contouring approach is best for your goals! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

I regularly use mesh in my breast surgeries for patients who are great candidates because it gives an extra layer of internal support. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Think of it like a soft internal bra that helps maintain shape, projection, and longevity of your results. Mesh can also reduce tension on the tissue, which helps with healing and minimizes stretching over time. Itโ€™s especially useful for implant revisions or patients with thinner tissue who need a little extra reinforcement.

Overall, itโ€™s one of my favorite tools for creating beautiful, long-lasting outcomes that age gracefully. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ

Getting a breast reduction before having kids can be life-changing ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ It can relieve back and neck pain, make working out easier, and help you feel so much more comfortable in your clothes.

For most women, the quality of life improvement is reason enough to do it sooner rather than later. That said, if youโ€™re planning to have children really soon, it might be worth waiting since pregnancy and breastfeeding can change your breast size and shape. But if kids arenโ€™t in the immediate future, thereโ€™s no reason to hold off on feeling better now. Itโ€™s all about what timing makes the most sense for you and your lifestyle. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

After breast augmentation, I always focus on making recovery as smooth and stress-free as possible!

I give clear guidelines so patients know what they can do and when, which helps them get back to their daily routines without pushing it too soon. Itโ€™s all about balancing safety with comfort, so healing happens the right way. My goal is for patients to feel confident getting back to normal life in a safe and appropriate timeframe. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
