  • In almost 30 years of this work, I have learned that beauty is almost entirely personal
  • My job is to listen carefully enough to understand what YOUR best self looks like — and then help you get there
  • Dr. Bowen's job is not to give patients someone else's result.

About

Dr. Diane Bowen is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Saint Simons Island, Georgia, and owner of Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery. With over 38 years of experience, Dr. Bowen believes that beauty is deeply personal. Her approach begins with listening carefully to understand what each patient's "best self" looks like, rather than aiming for someone else's result.

Dr. Bowen emphasizes that procedures like breast reduction can offer significant relief from chronic back pain, improve posture, and make exercise possible, extending benefits far beyond appearance. For those considering surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast procedure, facelift, or body contouring, she recommends planning for the fall. Cooler temperatures, discreet recovery with layers, and holiday downtime provide comfortable recovery windows, allowing patients to be healed and confident for spring and summer. Her team is available to provide real, honest answers to all questions.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Diane Bowen

Sourced directly from Dr. Diane Bowen's social posts and replies.

Why is Fall the best time to plan a surgical procedure?
Fall offers several advantages for planning surgical procedures. Cooler temperatures make recovery more comfortable by avoiding summer heat on healing incisions. The season's common long sleeves and layers allow for discreet recovery. Holiday downtime during Thanksgiving and Christmas provides natural recovery windows. Planning in the fall ensures patients are healed and confident for spring and summer events, revealing results at their absolute best. Additionally, the back-to-school season in August is an opportune time for many parents to focus on their own consultations or treatments.

What are the benefits of breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction is often more than just a cosmetic procedure. For many patients, it provides significant relief from chronic back pain, improves posture, and makes exercise possible. It can change daily life in ways that extend far beyond appearance, offering relief from discomfort and improving overall well-being.

What should I know about BOTOX® treatment?
BOTOX® is an FDA-approved, highly studied cosmetic treatment that, when administered by a skilled injector, aims to soften lines for a natural look, not erase all facial movement. Many patients begin BOTOX® in their late 20s and 30s as a preventive measure, as earlier treatment often leads to better long-term results. If treatment is stopped, the face simply returns to its natural state with no dependency or negative effects. Beyond cosmetics, BOTOX® is also used for medical conditions like migraines, excessive sweating, and TMJ jaw tension. Safety is ensured through proper dosage and a qualified injector.

What are the benefits and recovery expectations for Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is considered one of the most impactful yet subtle procedures. It removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids, eliminating drooping, puffiness, and a permanently tired look. It's indicated for those who feel their eyes make them look older or more tired, or for upper lid drooping that impairs vision. Results are immediate, dramatic, and completely natural, often leading friends to notice a refreshed look without knowing why. Most patients recover to normal within 10–14 days, with bruising and swelling fading faster than expected. Patients frequently report high satisfaction and a positive impact on how they feel about their appearance.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$170

Payments

6

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Diane Bowen received $170 across 6 payments in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
