Liposuction & Liposculpture Procedures
CONTOUR AND DEFINE
Advanced liposuction techniques are used to precisely remove fat, creating a defined and contoured physique. The addition of Renuvion® skin tightening delivers unparalleled post-surgical definition by shrinking the skin around the newly molded shape.
What to Expect
All procedures are done in a balanced and natural esthetic.
Consultation
During the consultation we will focus on creating a treatment plan that addresses your goals and fulfills your expectations. We will discuss your current exercise regimen, diet and history of weight fluctuation. In this way, I can properly counsel you on the expected long-term results. For instance, if you have recently lost weight on a crash diet, then the liposculpture result we achieve will be short-lived as you return to your regular diet and exercise habits.
Liposculpture is not an efficient weight-loss tool and when used as such will yield disappointing results. Rather, liposculpture is intended to highlight your natural contours by removing fat from stubborn areas, giving you the figure you always imagined. Incision locations will be demonstrated so that you will leave the consultation with a clear idea of the expected result. Liposuction is truly an amazing procedure as it combines artistry with technology, which is constantly improving to give patients incredible life-changing results.
Surgery
Liposculpture with concurrent Renuvion® skin tightening is performed at an accredited surgery center in Newport Beach, California, USA. Under the care of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, general anesthesia (fully asleep) is used to ensure maximal comfort and safety. The length of the surgery varies according to the extent of contouring that must be performed. Patience is the key to achieving the best possible outcome during these surgeries. For small volume liposuction and Renuvion® skin tightening, in-office treatment under local anesthesia may be considered.
Care is taken to hide the tiny access incisions in natural body creases so that they are nearly imperceptible upon complete healing.
Recovery
Patients are discharged home the same day and generally experience very minimal discomfort, often returning to light work within a week following surgery. Post-operatively, patients are advised to gradually resume their exercise regimen over a 4-week period in order to ensure proper healing. During the 6-weeks following surgery, a compression garment is worn to control swelling and mold the final contour.
Results
The results are intended to be long lasting provided a healthy and active lifestyle is maintained.
FAQs
Liposuction removes the fat cells from your problem area(s). Fat will increase in both the treated as well as the untreated areas if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Yes, after liposuction I have my patients wear a post-surgical garment to apply pressure to the liposuction areas. This will help limit the post-operative swelling and contour the treated areas. I have patients wear this for a minimum of 6 weeks. Most patients find wearing the garment to be comforting and supportive.
Liposuction can be uncomfortable and cause a variable amount of bruising. Patients often describe a burning sensation that aches for 3-5 days. The discomfort is not debilitating and patients rarely require narcotic pain medication after the first couple of days. I tell patients to expect bruising that can take a week or two to completely resolve.
Liposuction incisions are very small, typically about 3-4 millimeters. I take pride in ensuring that the incisions are placed in areas that are easily concealed by clothing. These incisions usually heal quite well and rapidly become a small, flat scar. You will have sutures that will be removed 1 week post-operatively and this will not cause you any discomfort.
The liposuction areas will be sore, bruised and will feel numb. The nerves under your skin are stunned following the surgery and can take up to 3 months to return to full function. Remember, this is normal and will go away with time.

Patient Reviews
Melanie L.
Back Surgery
Dr. Mowlds and his staff provided me with outstanding and professional healthcare while treating me with kindness and respect during my 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 of 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.
Andrea R.
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.
