The Rhinoplasty Procedure
NATURAL & TIMELESS
Surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasties are performed in harmony with your existing facial features to achieve a natural, timeless result. The most important part of a rhinoplasty is the consultation. During this time, your visualized result comes to life as we devise and align on a plan, surgical or non-surgical. Personalizing an experience that celebrates your unique vision is central to obtaining a result you love. Your nose, according to you.
What to Expect
All procedures are done in a balanced and natural esthetic.
Consultation
The consultation focuses on creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your goals and fulfills your expectations. I always ask my patients to list three things that they dislike about their nose. The purpose is to provide a framework and context for the procedure in an effort to fully address your expectations. We will devise a comprehensive plan that balances these objectives with your natural facial features in order to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting result. My goal is for you to have full confidence in your decision to make the change you have always imagined.
Surgery
Surgery is performed at an accredited surgery center in Newport Beach, California. Under the care of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, general anesthesia (fully asleep) is used to ensure maximal comfort and safety.
Non-surgical contouring is performed in the office with topical anesthetic to ensure your complete comfort.
The incision for a surgical rhinoplasty is placed in the columella, or the bridge of skin beneath the nose. This area heals quite well and with time the incision becomes nearly imperceptible. Additional incisions are hidden inside the nose and generally heal without issue.
Recovery
The procedure is well-tolerated and patients are discharged home the same day. Internal and external nasal splints are often worn for approximately 1 week to provide support during the initial healing phase. Patients can expect swelling that predictably dissipates with time. Bruising, if present, will resolve within one week. Patients typically stay out of work for about a week, however are permitted non-strenuous activity as soon as they feel ready.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty has obvious advantages in that patients experience no downtime. There is minimal initial swelling that resolves over a period of 2-3 days.
Results
Surgical results are long lasting provided trauma to the nose is avoided. Non-surgical rhinoplasty results are not permanent and require fine-tuning approximately every 12 months.

Patient Reviews
Abigail S.
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.

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.

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!

Skin Care & Non-Surgical Procedures
Dr. Mowlds is amazing! He has done Botox on my glabella area and masseter for teeth grinding and it has helped tremendously. I’ve also received a 3 step peel from him which gave me such a great result. My old acne scaring diminished and it gave me a really nice glow with little down time. Thanks Dr. Mowlds!
Matthew
Rhinoplasty
For most of my life, I’ve been unable to breathe through my nose due to a bad deviated septum. It’s been 3 weeks post rhinoplasty surgery and it’s changed my life now being able to breath…and sleep! Although you’ll be stuffed up initially, I experienced zero pain and very minimal bruising post surgery. If you’ve ever considered this procedure, just do it. Thank you again Dr. Mowlds!

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!!

Non-Surgical Procedures
I saw Dr. Mowlds for my Botox and lip filler and I have never been happier! He pays close to attention to detail and got me the results I wanted. He achieved a natural look and the experience was painless! I will definitely be seeing Dr. Mowlds again and would highly recommend him if you are looking for a skilled injector or plastic surgeon.
