Profile

My initial interest in plastic surgery came during several trips to rural Guatemala with a team of compassionate, hard-working surgeons and nurses. There I witnessed the life-altering impact of plastic surgery on individuals, families and communities. I remained inspired throughout my extensive education and countless surgeries, always striving to perfect my craft.

I received my undergraduate degree from Brown University with Honors in Neuroscience. There, I was captain of the Men’s Golf team, a sport that remains a passion of mine to this day. I received my medical degree (MD) from the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Paul Merage School of Business. I completed six years of training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery with the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of California, Irvine, undoubtedly the most comprehensive training program in the country.

Dr Mowlds you are the best surgeon! I have so much respect for your dedication and positive attitude to take on the difficult challenges while delivering the most amazing results to your patients. I am so grateful for you🙏You are a miracle worker and a blessing to me! To those who have bad implants or simply just don’t want to carry the burden anymore, I wish my review can help you. It does not matter your age we all want to be beautiful and feel confident 🌹 When I told Dr Mowlds I was ready to finally remove my 16 year old implants and accept the possibility of a poor result Dr Mowlds suggested fat transfer. Fat transfer!!?? That sounds too good to be true!! You mean I can put the love handles and muffin tops to the places needed to be! Lo and behold now 3weeks post op I’m well on my way to a smooth recovery and amazing results, with my own supply!! Sounds too good to be true? But Dr Mowlds made it happened.Fat transfer requires a very skillful surgeon to place the fat in the right place in order to able survive. He ended my 30 years of implant struggles with amazing results. For the people who are still searching or scared, do yourself a favor go see Dr Mowlds you deserve the best 🏆

The best decision was going with Dr. Mowlds! I am so happy with my results. The decision to go with plastic surgery can be scary but he communicated with me the entire time and made me feel comfortable which I feel is the most important part. He is the best surgeon out there so if you’re thinking about choosing him, do it! You won’t regret it!

Meeting Dr. Mowlds for the first time back in April of 2023 I knew right away I can 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 specially Mallory was very friendly. She was 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. 🥰❤️🙏🏻

As a woman in her late 40's, I was in need to redo my breasts. I needed a lift, reduction, and implant removal. 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 said it would be a very hard case to do. They were not interested in performing the surgery. I was so discouraged…then a friend had me look up Dr Mowlds and said she used him, and 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. Dr. Mowlds said he could not only help me but fix all my issues. His personality and bedside manner were amazing, and I knew right away he was the Doctor for me. 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. Mallory, his assistant, is also amazing and was a huge during the process.

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 as 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 . I am over the moon with my results and highly recommend him to EVERYONE!
