Profile

Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Lowenstein began his medical involvement participating in research in pediatric trauma at the Children’s National Medical Center. He was first published at the age of 21. He then studied molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin and subsequently attended the prestigious University of North Carolina School of Medicine where he received his medical degree.

Following eleven years of postgraduate training in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, Dr. Lowenstein attained board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has, in fact, been double-boarded with additional certification from The American Board of Surgery. After spending six years practicing as a Plastic Surgeon in Denver, Colorado, he moved to Santa Barbara.

Dr. Lowenstein’s plastic surgery experience ranges from aesthetic surgeries of the face, breast and body, to microvascular reconstruction of severe cancer deformities, and cosmetic and functional reconstruction of congenital deformities including the separation of conjoined twins. In the national forum, he is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and has served on the Board of Directors of that organization. His presentations at the annual ASPS National Meeting have been highly regarded and one of the most well-attended sessions.

Dr. Lowenstein is further involved with the American College of Surgeons, as well as local associations of plastic surgery. He feels that giving back to the specialty through sharing knowledge and experience is one of his most significant responsibilities. You should expect your consultation with Dr. Lowenstein to be comfortable, informative, and respectful. The operative experience will follow through with these ideals, and the team approach of his office and operative staff will allow you to be confident that you are getting only the highest level of care.

Dr. Lowenstein is married and has both a daughter and son. Spending time with his family is his priority outside of being a plastic surgeon in Santa Barbara. When he can find the time, Dr. Lowenstein enjoys road cycling and mountain biking, as well as cooking (and eating).

I can’t say enough good things about this center! The entire staff is warm, kind, and incredibly professional—from the moment you walk in, you feel completely taken care of. The facility is spotless, beautifully maintained, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. I recently had Botox with Nurse Jodi, and she is absolutely fantastic! She’s so knowledgeable, gentle, and really takes the time to explain everything and make sure you’re comfortable. My results are flawless—natural and refreshed without overdoing it. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for exceptional care and beautiful, natural results!

Dr. Lowenstein is truly the best in the business! I’ve now had two breast augmentations with him, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. The first time he gave me a beautiful, natural outcome, and when I decided to go a bit larger for my second BA with Motiva implants, I fully trusted his eye and expertise to deliver. I was torn between two sizes and left it completely in his hands—he nailed it! Beyond his incredible surgical skill, Dr. Lowenstein made what can feel like a stressful process so comfortable and reassuring. I can’t imagine going through this with anyone else. His team is just as amazing. Christina, the patient coordinator, makes the scheduling and planning process absolutely seamless. I am beyond thrilled with my results and so grateful to Dr. Lowenstein and his entire team. If you’re considering surgery, look no further, you’re in the very best hands!

I’m thrilled with my experience here! First of all the staff is so warm and welcoming. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I wanted a natural looking breast augmentation and that’s exactly what I got. Dr. Lowenstein makes sure to cater to what looks best on you proportionally, ensuring smooth and most natural looking results possible. I also want to add on that I started out as barely an A cup, now I am a full C-D cup and I was worried that they would look fake going that much bigger but that has not been the case at all. All my friends tell me they are shocked with how natural they look. I am now 7 weeks post op with 0 complications at all. The post-op care has also been amazing and I definitely feel like I am looked after quite well during my appointments. I really couldn’t recommend any other surgeon for this procedure!

I want to start by saying I was very particular with who I chose to be my surgeon this time around. After multiple consultations with various surgeons, I definitely made the right decision choosing Dr. Lowenstein for my breast revision surgery. I have a story I'd like to share regarding my first surgery, and if you find yourself reading this, I hope this helps shed light on the importance of who you choose to be your surgeon. I had my first breast augmentation back in 2023. I chose a surgeon who was well known for his social media status and his “natural results.” With over 1M followers and the numerous content that was posted daily, I was drawn in. I didn’t do much research about this surgeon and chose him solely based off his social media content. I truly thought he was the best from the content I was seeing. I ended up getting a terrible staph infection a couple months after my surgery, which neither the surgeon or staff seemed to take seriously as it was happening. For weeks my symptoms were being dismissed. Eventually, I ended up needing emergency surgery due to spiking a high fever and extreme breast swelling, which the surgeon thought was a hematoma. When I woke up, I was told it was an infection. Fast forward 2 years, I decide to have a revision surgery due to residual complications from my first. Choosing Dr. Lowenstein was a no brainer. I did my research this time and loved his results. I also felt extremely comfortable with him and his staff and agreed with his approach and plan of care. He was honest, realistic, and wasn't pressuring me into choosing him. I am now 3 weeks post op with ZERO complications and I am so happy with my results! The post op care I have been receiving has also been exceptional. Dr. Lowenstein and his team are incredible and they truly care about the health and safety of their patients. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!! Moral of my story is - don’t believe what you see on social media. Just because a surgeon is social media heavy does not mean they’re the best and choosing the right surgeon shouldn't solely be based on their social media content. Do your research, go to a few consultations, and choose the surgeon who you feel most comfortable with and who listens to you.

My experience with Dr. Lowenstein was better than I ever could have imagined. The outcome is incredible, especially with having a more difficult and complicated case. He exceeded my expectations. My recovery went smoothly And was so much easier than I had expected. For anyone that is interested or even curious about getting their breasts done I highly recommend visiting Dr. Lowenstein.
