Early life, education, and hockey career

[edit]

Born in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Mulholland attended Lake Superior State University on a hockey scholarship, playing as a forward and becoming Central Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Year for the 1979–1980 season.[3] Over the course of his collegiate career, he was a four-time CCHA All-Star and NCAA All-American.[11][12][3] Mulholland "led the [LSSU] Lakers in scoring during all four years", becoming "the only player to accomplish that feat at LSSU".[3] For three of the four seasons that he played, he was the highest goal-scorer, finishing his collegiate career with a 206-point total surpassed only by Jim Dowd and Sean Tallaire.[3] Mulholland "also excelled in the classroom" throughout this time, "earning CCHA All-Academic honors in 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83; and was also an Academic All-American in 1982-83".[3] In 2016, Mulholland was named to the 1976-86 Laker Hockey All-Decade Team as part of the 50th anniversary of the school's hockey program, receiving the most fan ballots for a forward in that decade.[3]

After graduating, Mulholland played professional hockey for the 1983–1984 season, playing three games for the Colorado Flames,[2] before transferring to Rögle BK, in Sweden.[1] He played in 28 regular season games and two playoff games for Rögle BK, scoring 49 points off 32 goals and 17 assists during the regular season, and one point off an assist in the playoffs.[1] Following the season, he retired from the sport and returned to school to pursue his medical degree and become a physician.[6][12]

Mulholland attended the University of Toronto Medical School where he graduated in 1988.[6] He completed his general and plastic surgery training at the University of Toronto and became certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in 1994.[6][12]

Career

[edit]

Mulholland began his career as a consultant for St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario where he worked on reconstruction of faces and necks where tumors were removed.[6] Mulholland's work in plastic surgery has included reconstructive, trauma, and cancer surgery. He has invented different procedures for each, including transplanting sensate tissue into oral cavities defects after the removal of tongue and jawbone tissue. He also developed the OsteoCutaneous Skin Flap procedure, an auto-transplant procedure where the tibia and skin from the back of the foot is transplanted by re-connecting all the small arteries, veins and nerves using a microscope.[13] The procedure is also used for reconstruction of cancer jaw bone and mouth lining defects. His work is also widely published in medical journals and he has authored numerous books and book chapters on the subject.[14]

In 1997, Mulholland began focusing on aesthetic plastic surgery. He founded SpaMedica, an aesthetic spa located in Toronto where he provides non-invasive techniques such as Botox injections and laser treatments.[15][16] Mulholland is best known for his non-surgical facelift techniques, including the Pan G. treatment which he launched in 2000.[16]

Mulholland is a frequent speaker and lecturer, appearing as a regular guest expert plastic surgeon on CityLine and Breakfast Television. He has also appeared as a plastic and cosmetic surgery expert on the CBC, CTV, Rogers TV, Global Television Network and in newspapers and magazines such as the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, Fashion Magazine, Flare and Elle Canada.[4][5][9][17][18] Mulholland has also appeared on The Real Housewives of Toronto, where his wife Ann Kaplan Mulholland was one of the main cast members for season one of the show.[19]
