Meet Dr. James Lowe
“What I love most about plastic surgery," Dr. James (Jim) Lowe says, "is the great sense of satisfaction when I see the end result.”
You only have to view his before and after photos to see the elegance of his work. It is why the majority of his patients come from referrals – people who have seen his work first-hand.
Specializing in facial procedures such as blepharoplasty, facelift, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, laser treatment, and injectable treatments, Dr. Lowe helps his patients look young and beautiful.
Dr. Lowe also performs a large number of breast enhancement and body contouring procedures. His practice is about 80 percent cosmetic surgery and 20 percent reconstructive surgery.
With a certified surgical OR facility on site, Dr. Lowe can provide excellent continuity of care, which is a true advantage for his patients at our Oklahoma City plastic surgery office.

Lasting Patient Partnerships
“I form a lasting partnership with my patients,” Dr. Lowe explains. “I owe my patients peace of mind; that’s why I am so honest with them.”
For many patients visiting the Oklahoma City office, plastic surgery is more of a want than a need. Dr. Lowe's philosophy is one of a realist. If he believes a procedure is not right for you, or perhaps not right at this time, he will tell you. "I don’t sell operations,” he explains.
"I recommend what is best for each patient and my wonderful staff and I make their experience a truly positive one. I ask patients to bring the person who will be caring for them after surgery to the final meeting – even if that aftercare will only be a day or two."
This realistic approach gives Dr. Lowe a chance to ensure that each patient knows what to expect. His patients are as comfortable and as safe as possible. It all starts with the first consultation. That’s where the connection begins, getting to know what is in the patient’s mind and heart and realistically deciding if surgery is appropriate. He says he is clear about the benefits and the risks of the procedure, seeing a patient again once or twice before surgery and then making sure he is there afterwards. Even a year out, he'll want to see the patient and make sure everything is going well.
Power of Observation, Coordination, and Artistry
“I take pride in my meticulous attention to detail. Some people call it obsessive,” he says. These characteristics are what make Dr. Lowe so unique and well-regarded in his field. He calls himself a problem solver who was trained in both the artistry and technical aspects of plastic surgery.
“When patients come in for BOTOX® or fillers, Dr. Lowe says "they are always surprised that I administer these procedures myself.” He wants to be sure that every procedure, whether it's plastic surgery or laser treatment or injectable fillers, is performed with the same high level of expertise.
