Breast Augmentation Procedure
ENHANCING BREAST VOLUME & SHAPE
Breast augmentation, often referred to as a boob job, utilizes silicone or saline implants to enhance both breast volume and shape. The goal is to create a natural appearance that compliments your existing body shape. Beautiful breasts, according to you.
What to Expect
All procedures are done in a balanced and natural esthetic.
Consultation
Breast augmentations involve an in-depth consultation where we will thoroughly review your goals and expectations. Patients are encouraged to bring photographs of several breast augmentation results that best represent their desired look.
During your consultation, many measurements are recorded, which ultimately facilitate implant choice. Several other factors must be taken into account including chest wall shape, desired appearance (cleavage, upper breast fullness), current breast volume and the capacity of the skin to accommodate an implant. Implants are either silicone or saline, and this is a decision that we will make together. Breast implants have been rigorously studied, demonstrating saline and silicone to have equivalent safety profiles.
Surgery
Surgery is performed at an accredited surgery center in Newport Beach, California, USA and typically lasts 1.5 hours. Under the care of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, general anesthesia (fully asleep) is used to ensure maximal comfort and safety.
The incision is placed at the breast crease (inframammary fold), the armpit (transaxillary) or around the nipple (periareolar). The risks and benefits associated with each incision will be thoroughly discussed in order to determine which approach will work best for you. Implants are almost always placed below the chest wall muscle; maximizing the soft tissue coverage and minimizing the chance of implant visibility.
PRE-OPERATIVE GUIDANCE
Recovery
Patients are discharged home the same day and generally experience very minimal discomfort, often returning to work in the days following surgery. I put all of my breast augmentation patients on an enhanced recovery plan. This involves an immediate return to light everyday activities, which promotes muscle activity and blood flow, preventing lasting discomfort. I ask my patients to gradually resume their exercise regimen over 3-4 weeks following the procedure in order to ensure optimal healing. I ask that my patients wear a supportive bra with underwire for 6 weeks following surgery.
POST-OPERATIVE GUIDANCE
Results
The increase in breast volume will be apparent immediately following surgery. Breast implants initially appear high on the chest wall, eventually settling into a more natural position following a gradual relaxation in the skin beneath the nipple. The results are expected to be long lasting provided patients’ native breast tissue doesn’t undergo significant change (i.e. pregnancy).
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, which means at some point they will need to be replaced. The longevity of the implants is difficult to predict and varies by patient. Saline implant rupture manifests as a complete deflation of the breast, while detection of a silicone implant leak may require further investigation.

Dr. Mowlds took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and explain the process in detail
From the very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. The staff was incredibly supportive and caring, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made each visit a pleasure. I am beyond happy with my breast augmentation and chin lipo. Dr. Mowlds is not only a talented surgeon but also an artist who truly understands how to enhance natural beauty.

His personality and bedside manner were amazing, and I knew right away he was the Doctor for me
As a woman in her 40’s, I was in need to redo my breasts. I needed a lift, with high profile implants. I went to three top plastic surgeons in the area, who all said it would be a difficult surgery to do. Each of them used words like challenging, difficult, and weren’t interested in performing the surgery. I was so discouraged, then a friend had me look up Dr. Mowlds saying how he is the best. So, I went in thinking he probably would turn me down too, but to my surprise, he said, “Yes” very confidently. I loved this about him. My surgery went amazing, and the outcome was far beyond my expectations. Dr. Mowlds is the best plastic surgeon you could ask for. Search no more. Go see Dr Mowlds for his expertise and knowledge. So grateful for Dr. Mowlds.

I am SO HAPPY with my new body!!
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!

Dr. Mowlds is patient, kind, and he listens! And best of all he delivers!
Absolutely AMAZING! I had a breast reduction and revision done by him. I’ve wanted smaller, more manageable breasts since I developed at 16. I had a breast reduction done in the past by a Beverly Hills surgeon who didn’t listen and thought she knew better than me. We all know what it feels like to feel disappointed and unheard. I told Dr Mowlds, he heard how important it was for me to get what I always dreamed of. And he has changed my life! I have gorgeous breasts (exact size I asked for). I can do so much I was never able to do. Run, surf, snowboard. I feel free and so so thankful! 5 stars! He’s the best of the best! Highly recommend!

I loved that Dr. Mowlds treated me like a friend who he wanted to have the best experience and results possible
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. 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.

I’m over the moon with my results and highly recommend Dr. Mowlds to EVERYONE!
Dr. Mowlds is THE next generation of great plastic surgeons here in Newport Beach! His attention to detail and perfection while remaining realistic in the results obtained, gives you confidence in his consistent outstanding outcomes. It had been 14 years and 2 kids since my last breast augmentation and lift. I was ready for a smaller pair and needed to redo my lift and change out the old implants. I had 6 other consultations all with World Renowned plastic surgeons and knew without a doubt Dr. Mowlds was the best choice. I was comfortable from start to finish and the staff took such good care of me on the day of surgery and made any butterflies immediately disappear. After a 5.5 hour reconstructive surgery, I was amazed at how gentle Dr. Mowlds was since my pain level was well below what I had anticipated. After 3 days, I didn’t even need to take Tylenol. Now I feel lighter, my clothes fit better and I feel like a whole new person.

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!!
