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.

In the OR, Iโ€™m never racing a clockโ€ฆ Iโ€™m focused on doing things the right way.

Precision means slowing down enough to really respect the anatomy, double check each step, and make thoughtful adjustments as I go.

Every patient is different, and taking my time allows me to tailor the surgery to their body instead of forcing a one size fits all approach. Rushing through a case doesnโ€™t lead to better results; careful, intentional movements do.

At the end of the day, my priority is always delivering safe, beautiful, long-lasting outcomes. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

CO2 laser is one of my favorite add-on treatments to pair with surgery because it lets me tackle deep skin quality issues while weโ€™ve already got you comfortably under anesthesia!

The biggest perk is that you get one single downtime period - meaning you recover from your procedure and your laser at the same time instead of spacing them out. It also allows me to treat fine lines, pigment, and texture more aggressively since youโ€™re already in a controlled healing phase.

Patients love that they walk away with both surgical refinement and a noticeable boost in skin smoothness and brightness. Itโ€™s an efficient, impactful combo that really maximizes your overall result. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

When Iโ€™m in the OR, my entire focus narrows to the patient in front of me and the goals we planned together. Every movement is intentional - respecting anatomy, and handling everything with the gentlest precision possible.

Iโ€™m constantly evaluating, adjusting, and fine tuning to create the most natural result for that unique patient. Our conversations and their desired outcome stay with me through every step of the procedure. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Breast surgery is always a complex challenge because no two breasts are ever the same, and creating the most natural symmetry takes real precision and artistry.

Every case involves carefully analyzing shape, volume, skin quality, and how each side behaves differently - even something as small as rib cage variation can change the whole plan!

Thatโ€™s what makes these surgeries so rewarding: itโ€™s like putting together a puzzle designed uniquely for each patient. I love that challenge and the creativity it requires to get everything as balanced and harmonious as possible. At the end of the day, seeing a patient feel confident and aligned in their own body makes every detail worth it. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Happy Friday! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

When I help patients choose the right procedure, itโ€™s a collaborative process centered around their goals, concerns, and lifestyle. We talk openly about what theyโ€™re hoping to achieve, and I walk them through the options that will give the most natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.

My job is to make the decision feel clear, not overwhelming. By explaining the pros, limitations, and recovery of each approach. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Every patient is unique, and the right procedure is always the one that aligns with their vision and feels right for them. My goal is for patients to leave the consultation feeling informed, confident, and excited about their next step! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

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

Every nightโ€ฆโ€ฆ every day. ๐Ÿ˜†

Iโ€™m always have conversations like this:
โ€œCan I work out yet?โ€
โ€œYes!โ€
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˜†

Hope this gave you all a good laugh! Happy Wednesday everyone!

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
