I am so happy with my results! I had a tummy tuck with lipo in May and I couldn't be happier with my results. Dr Mowlds went above and beyond to give me the best possible results. Even my new belly button looks completely perfect. I'm glad I chose Dr. Mowlds and trusted him through this process. Best decision I ever made!

Yesterday we went to Wild Rivers water park in Irvine with our son for a birthday party. My wife recently had a breast augmentation refresh from Dr Mowlds from her previous ruptured implant. We didn’t want to use our previous Plastic Surgeon after learning he did a Breast Augmentation on his Daughter. I won’t drop names but google it. Anyway, we kept hearing great things about Dr Mowlds from friends and booked a consult. He was great and attentive, we felt comfortable and made our choice to use him. Back to Wild Rivers water park, my wife had the best TaTAs in the park. This was the first time the girls came out and got some sun. Every time my wife walked away all my homies gave me high fives and congratulated me. Thank you DR Mowlds!!!!

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!!

I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Mowlds and simply put could not be happier. He and his team are extremely professional but equally as friendly and accommodating. I felt completely comfortable every step of the way and am so happy with my results. I always felt I could reach out with any questions or concerns and felt completely supported throughout the whole process. From my consultation to 6 months post op, Dr. Mowlds and his team exceeded my expectations. I am beyond thrilled with my results and would highly recommend him to anyone who’s looking for safe and quality care.
