About
Dr. Mune Gowda, MD, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Novi and Troy, Michigan. He offers procedures such as Modern Deep Plane Facelift, Modern Approach to Neck Lift, Preservation Rhinoplasty, Lip Lift, Lip Filler, Preventative Botox, and various laser treatments. For facelifts and neck lifts, Dr. Gowda repositions deeper facial layers to restore youthful contours and definition for a natural look.

For lip filler, Dr. Gowda emphasizes building beautiful lips as a process, not a race, often staging treatments to gradually build volume, minimize risks, and ensure balanced, defined, natural-looking results.

What role do Surgical Technologists play in Dr. Gowda's practice?
Surgical Technologists work directly alongside the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, prepping instruments, maintaining a sterile field, and assisting with sutures, staples, and dressings in the operating room, helping create a seamless OR experience from start to finish.
What is Dr. Gowda's philosophy on lip filler treatment?
Dr. Gowda believes building beautiful lips is a process, not a race. The best results often happen over more than one appointment, with a second treatment performed a few weeks later to safely build on the initial result. This staged approach allows lips time to settle, gradually building shape and volume while minimizing risks like overfilling, product migration, and an unnatural appearance. The goal is to create lips that are balanced, defined, and still look like the patient, not to put in as much filler as possible in one session.
What is Dr. Gowda's approach to Preventative Botox?
Dr. Gowda views Preventative Botox as a gentle method to relax the small muscles between the brows that create '11 lines' when frowning or concentrating. By softening this movement early, it helps slow the formation of deeper, more permanent lines while keeping natural expressions intact. The goal is a smoother, refreshed appearance that still looks like the individual, just more rested and refined, with subtle, natural results.
What Plated Skin Science products does Dr. Gowda's practice offer?
The practice offers an expanded lineup of Plated Skin Science serums, each formulated for different concerns. Plated Daily Serum is a lightweight, everyday serum supporting hydration, tone, and texture for smoother, healthier-looking skin. Plated Intense Serum is the most concentrated, designed for mature or damaged skin with visible signs of aging, typically used over a 6–12 week course for renewal and rejuvenation. Plated Calm Serum is formulated for post-procedure skin, supporting healing and reducing recovery time. The practice also offers the established favorite, Plated Eye Serum, which targets the delicate under-eye area to address fatigue and aging. The practice's team personally tests these products.
What is the timeline for results after lower face dermal filler?
Patients can see results as early as 4 weeks after lower face dermal filler treatment. These treatments restore support around the lower face, enhancing natural contours and making everyday activities, such as applying makeup, feel easier.
What is Preservation Rhinoplasty?
Preservation Rhinoplasty is a surgical technique that focuses on preserving the nose’s natural structures rather than removing and reconstructing them. This approach results in more natural, long-lasting outcomes and a smoother recovery for patients.
Does Dr. Gowda offer personalized treatment plans for facial rejuvenation?
Yes, the practice creates personalized treatment plans tailored for each patient's facial rejuvenation goals.

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.

Payments
14
Compared to peers
Moderate
Dr. Mune Gowda received $1,536 across 14 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Integra LifeSciences Corporation.
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?”
