Dr. Mowlds is by far the BEST to say the least. I’m glad I came across him. His staff is AMAZING, always a phone call or text away pre and post op. I had gone to several consults in which they didn’t make me comfortable or confident to choose them. Dr. Mowlds and I met. I explained to him my complicated case, my concerns and showed him what he had to fix. He shared his thoughts, knowledge and was up for the challenge. He was very detailed in his explanations and sure did deliver. I have no regrets picking him as my surgeon. HE IS THE BEST!

I met Dr. Mowlds for the first time back in April of 2023 and knew right away that I could trust him with my procedures. He was very personable, informative, and a great listener. He made me feel at ease and catered to exactly what I was looking for. His staff was very friendly, always available and would respond to my questions very quickly before and after my surgery. My surgery was a complete success. I am very happy with the results and I would highly recommend Dr. Mowlds to all my family and friends. Truly an exceptional experience! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🥰❤️🙏🏻

5 stars is not enough for Dr. Mowlds and his team! Dr. Mowlds is a highly qualified and skilled cosmetic surgeon. His work and meticulous attention to detail is exceptional! Mallory the patient coordinator is always so helpful and pleasant. Brittany the PA is professional and very sweet. From the consult to the post-op appointments, I always feel like I am Dr. Mowlds’ only patient. His professionalism, knowledge, expertise, bedside manner, kindness, attentiveness along with my results are all beyond my highest expectations.

Tummy Tuck & Breast Implants
I am SO HAPPY with my new body!! January 2021, Dr. Mowlds replaced my breast implants and gave me a full tummy tuck. My scars are so minimal! The man has good hands! He took so much time to listen to me, care about my concerns and really understand the results I was hoping for. Can I just say, THIS MAN DELIVERED!! He actually gave me better results than I was hoping for. Finally a man who keeps his word! Hahahaha! His assistant, Mallory, also took so much time with me, checked in, listened, always responded to my messages right away and was just so sweet!! Two of my friends have also gone to him for breast augmentation because of how pleased I am with my experience and results. Thank you, Dr. Mowlds, for my reconstructed body-ody!! It’s amazing now bc of your skill and artistic craftsmanship!

Breast Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Mowlds is a phenomenal surgeon and I feel so blessed to have had him do my surgery!! I had symmastia breast reconstructive surgery done by Dr. Mowlds. I had lived the last 15 years with my breasts looking like a “uni-boob.” I felt so self conscious for many years. I also breast fed 2 kids so I had a lot of rippling and loss of saline in my old implants. Dr. Mowlds was extremely honest, caring and helpful with making the decision to fix my breasts. He listened to exactly what I wanted and his staff was absolutely amazing!! In order to reconstruct my breasts he used galaflex absorbable mesh to separate my breasts and make them normal again. I went with silicone implants this time and could not be happier with my results. Everyday I feel so thankful I can look in the mirror and feel normal. Dr. Mowlds is the ABSOLUTE BEST SURGEON!!

Dr. Mowlds and his staff provided me with outstanding and professional healthcare. He always treated me with kindness and respect during our patient visits. It was quite evident Dr. Mowlds takes a lot of pride in the work that he performs! I underwent an extensive back surgery and was not only concerned with the physical results, but additionally, the functional results of an extensive surgical closure. I am so grateful my neurosurgeon recommended and works in collaboration with Dr Mowlds. I am extremely pleased with the aesthetic results of my surgery and would not hesitate to recommend this professional practice.

Skin Tightening & Scar Revision
After consulting with numerous plastic surgeons I decided on Dr. Mowlds for my c-section scar revision and Renuvion skin tightening. I had 3 emergency c-sections that had left me with a terrible looking scar. After a virtual consultation, I knew Dr. Mowlds was the right choice. The added bonus was that he has the Renuvion skin tightening machine which is the gold standard in skin tightening and I am amazed at my results just 3 weeks out. I am so happy with my decision and would highly recommend Dr. Mowlds for any cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.

I am absolutely thrilled with my results! I have seen a number of surgeons around the world and Dr. Mowlds is by far THE BEST. Not only is he knowledgeable and meticulous, he’s a great listener. As a result, he put a thoughtful and innovative plan together for my case that no other surgeon had considered before and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Very little pain post surgery and he put me at ease from start to finish. Mallory, his office manager, is also wonderful and was always available to answer my questions. I highly recommended him and his team.

Neck Liposculpture
Dr. Mowlds did liposuction under my neck to get rid of my double chin and define my jawline. It was the best decision I have ever made. He made me feel so much more confident and the results were more than I could have ever hoped for. The surgery was easy and recovery was smooth. Dr. Mowlds checks up on his patients every 2-3 weeks to make sure the results are perfect. Highly recommend this surgery and Dr. Mowlds!!

Skin Care & Non-Surgical Procedures
Dr. Mowlds was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable in what would typically be a very nervous, uncertain situation around needles. He took his time and was very patient answering all my questions. I’ve been seeing him for Botox, lip + laser treatments and will not go to anyone else. Dr. Mowlds is very meticulous, gentle, honest and has good, conservative taste. So grateful to have found him!

Breast Revision
Dr. Mowlds is the absolute BEST at what he does. I had a botched breast augmentation, which was causing me serious health concerns, chronic chest and back pain. I was extremely nervous as I didn’t think my issue could be resolved, let’s just say my breasts needed a lot of work. I loved that Dr. Mowlds never treated me like a patient, but rather a friend who he wanted to have the best experience and results possible. He is a true artist in his field, and my breasts are proof of that. Dr. Mowlds was professional, warm, knowledgeable, talented, and great at listening to my concerns and helping me understand everything along the way. I have already recommended a few of my girlfriends to go see him.
