Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances volume and shape using silicone or saline implants. This procedure addresses asymmetry, volume loss, or desire for larger breasts. Dr. Mowlds prioritizes natural results by tailoring implant type, size, and placement to individual anatomy. Patients often seek this surgery post-pregnancy, weight loss, or for cosmetic enhancement. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of limited activity, with final results visible after swelling subsides. The practice emphasizes pre-operative planning, including 3D imaging for realistic expectations.
Facelift
Facelift surgery restores youthful contours by tightening skin and underlying tissues. It addresses sagging jowls, neck laxity, and deep creases. Dr. Mowlds combines traditional techniques with minimally invasive options like neck liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening. Ideal candidates seek long-term improvement over non-surgical treatments. Recovery spans 2-4 weeks, with results lasting 7-10 years. The practice offers virtual consultations for out-of-town patients, ensuring personalized care from initial assessment to post-op follow-up.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to refine body shape. Advanced techniques like VASER and Renuvion enhance precision and skin tightening. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, and back. This procedure is not a weight-loss solution but targets genetically resistant fat. Recovery involves wearing a compression garment for 4-6 weeks and avoiding strenuous activity. Patients often combine liposuction with tummy tucks or Brazilian butt lifts for comprehensive results.
Non-Surgical Injectables
Non-surgical injectables like Botox and dermal fillers reduce wrinkles and restore facial volume. Botox targets dynamic lines, while fillers address static wrinkles and volume loss in cheeks, lips, or hands. Treatments are quick, with minimal downtime and results visible immediately or within days. Dr. Mowlds uses a conservative approach to avoid overfilled appearances. Maintenance sessions are typically required every 3-12 months, depending on the product and individual metabolism.
Skin Tightening
Renuvion skin tightening uses helium plasma to firm lax skin post-liposuction or surgery. This minimally invasive technique achieves up to 65% skin contraction, rivaling surgical results without extensive incisions. Ideal for areas like the neck, arms, or abdomen, recovery spans 1-2 weeks. The practice emphasizes pre-operative guidance on diet and activity to prolong results. Renuvion is often combined with liposuction for optimal contouring, particularly in post-weight-loss patients.
