Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking fuller contours, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our approach prioritizes natural results with minimal scarring, supported by advanced techniques and personalized surgical planning.
Facelift
Facelift surgery restores a youthful appearance by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Targeting sagging jowls, deep creases, and loose neck skin, this procedure offers long-lasting results. Our method combines technical precision with an understanding of facial aesthetics to achieve balanced, rejuvenated outcomes.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting eliminates stubborn fat through controlled cooling technology. Non-invasive and FDA-cleared, it targets areas resistant to diet and exercise. Results develop gradually over two to three months, offering a sculpted appearance without surgery or downtime.
Botox
Botox injections reduce dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. FDA-approved for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases, this quick treatment delivers visible results within days. Effects last three to four months, with options for maintenance sessions.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to enhance body contours. Effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back, this procedure complements a healthy lifestyle. Our technique focuses on smooth results and proportionate shaping for a refined silhouette.

I would think that a plastic surgeon would tell someone you have some issues but we can fix that and you won't have to deal with that issue for a few years. Instead this doctor was condescending and arrogant and made the issues seem unfixable. Only go to see this doctor if you have low self esteem and want to be to made to feel worse. A terrible experience all around. See him and you will see what I mean.

From beginning to end, Montecito Plastic Surgery is the BEST! The office staff has always been so polite and thorough. Dr. Lowenstein was absolutely FANTASTIC! He was so direct and really helped me manage my expectations on what was possible. I have had large breasts my entire life and have always wanted a breast lift and reduction. He walked me through the entire process, the recovery, what to expect, he even encouraged me to NOT receive unnecessary procedures (lipo, tummy tuck, etc).
He likes to go with the most natural look possible. I wish I did this sooner! My scars are almost impossible to see, sensation was not lost and the shape is perfection! I highly recommend MPS for all your needs! Do yourself a favor and book a consultation today!

Dr. Lowenstein and his entire staff are fabulous! My new breasts are absolutely gorgeous in every way- I am so happy! The entire experience was perfectly organized from my consultation to my follow up visit. I also had Ultherapy on my face and neck (while under anesthesia for my replacement of breast implants) and I am already seeing results after only a week! Dr. Lowenstein was recommended to me by a business associate and I would definitely recommend Dr. Lowenstein to anyone needing or wanting a good experience for a plastic surgery procedure. Definitely go see Dr. Lowenstein for a consultation! I'm so glad I did!

Dr. Lowenstein is a gifted surgeon. On top of my excellent outcome, the entire Montecito Plastic Surgery staff is first-class from initial consultation to post-op follow-up. You can truly expect concierge-level service. I went into surgery with complete confidence and calm knowing I was in expert hands. I had researched extensively, selected the best, and know you will not find a better plastic surgery experience in Santa Barbara or beyond!

Dr. Lowenstein and his staff provided a wonderful experience beginning with my augmentation consult to getting all the paperwork/tests completed to the actual surgery and then finally the multiple post-op follow-up appointments. I'm extremely pleased with the results! Don't go anywhere else!
