About Howland Plastic Surgery

Dr. Howland was born and raised in Murray, Utah. He developed manual dexterity as well as a love for the arts through 13 years of piano lessons. Before going after his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah, he competently fulfilled a 2-year church mission to St. Petersburg, Russia. During that period of time, Dr. Howland was selected as the lead interpreter and coordinator for volunteer efforts in the world-renowned Hermitage Museum. This volunteer effort was during the 300-year celebration of the founding of St. Petersburg as a city, and Dr. Howland further developed a profound love and appreciation for art and the human form as he gave numerous tours of the museum. Upon returning from Russia, Dr. Howland embarked on his long pathway of training. He finished cum laude from the University of Utah with a degree in Business Administration and minors in Chemistry and Russian Literature. This was on top of the tough pre-med pathway. He was early accepted into medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. It was here that Dr. Howland started to work on basic science and clinical research in the industry of plastic and reconstructive surgery. As a leading student in his graduating class, he was taken on among the nation's top medical students into the extremely competitive six-year integrated plastic and reconstructive residency program at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Throughout his residency, Dr. Howland was respected in his pursuit of furthering his expertise in the field-- he presented at over twenty local and national meetings as well as published several abstracts, journal articles, and book chapters. He had the opportunity to rotate through and train with several of the very best hospitals and plastic surgeons in the world: John Sealy Hospital, Shriners Burn Hospital for Children, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, St. Joseph Medical Center, The Cronin-Brauer Cleft Lip and Palate Clinic at Shriners Hospital, and Houston Methodist St. John Hospital.
