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 degr

ee from Brown University with Honors in Neuroscience. There, I was captain of the Men’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.

Every transformation starts with a plan. 🙌🏼
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at precise surgical markings to ensure symmetry and beautiful, natural-looking results for this patient!

Surgery isn’t just about technique—it’s about trust, intention, and tailoring every step to you. Whether it’s a subtle enhancement or a full contouring procedure, my job is to help you feel confident in your skin. 🙏🏼

Breast shape can change dramatically in the years following breast augmentation surgery. Contraction of the scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture) ultimately turns a result you love into one you hate. This patient had a breast augmentation many years ago and has since experienced contracture of the scar tissue around both breast implants. The distortion of the breasts is easily seen. Removal of the scar tissue and replacement of the implants with a size more suitable to her resulted in a result that she loves. She is thrilled and so am I.

Remember, the earlier you exchange your implants, the easier the surgery and faster the recovery. It is common to put off replacement or revision surgery as many patients fear re-living the discomfort of the initial operation. Recovery from a revision surgery is straightforward and very well tolerated with minimal discomfort, if any at all. Stretching of the chest muscle was already done as a result of the first operation, eliminating a significant source of pain from any revision surgery.

If you have breast implants and have noticed any change in the breast appearance or just want to know if they should be replaced, please schedule a consult and I will be happy to answer any questions that you many have!

560 CC high profile implants were used.

Pairing the ZO Blue Peel with deep CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful ways to completely refresh your skin! 🙌🏼

A lot of my patients choose to add these treatments to their surgeries so they can recover from everything at the same time—it’s a huge time-saver and gives even better results. The Blue Peel targets uneven texture and brightens your skin, while the CO2 laser smooths fine lines, tightens, and reduces pigmentation. Together, they supercharge collagen production, leaving your skin smoother, tighter, and glowing.

If you’re already planning surgery, this combo is the perfect way to take your results to the next level. 👌🏼

⭐️ Before & After: Tummy Tuck ⭐️

Tummy tuck surgery is honestly one of the most transformative procedures I perform. It’s a game-changer for patients who want to tighten and flatten their midsection after things like weight loss or pregnancy.

The best part is that the results are not just physical—patients feel more confident, comfortable in their clothes, and excited about their bodies again! 👏🏼

Patients love how a tummy tuck gives them that smooth, toned look they’ve been working hard for but couldn’t quite achieve with diet and exercise alone. The procedure addresses both skin and muscle, giving you a tight, sculpted waistline that lasts. I see so many patients leave feeling like their whole outlook has changed—it’s truly life-changing.

The satisfaction rate for tummy tucks is through the roof because it’s more than just cosmetic; it can seriously improve quality of life. Clothes fit better, core strength improves, and the self-confidence boost is real. If you’ve been considering it, this surgery might be the best decision you make for yourself—it’s all about feeling great in your own skin! 🙌🏼
