Reviews for Eyelid Surgery Procedures in Scottsdale, AZ
"I had a horrible experience with seeing another ENT a few months before seeing Dr. Holden. To the point that I literally left the office in tears. I paid $150 with this other ENT and rescheduled my entire shift to see this surgeon. I have had breathing problems with my nose for as long as I can remember. I've also become very self conscious of my nose over the years. After my bad experience with Todd Hobgood (see his page to read my review of what happened) one of my clients recommended Dr. Holden. From the beginning when I called to schedule a consult the front desk girls were so unbelievably kind! I went in to my consult with my boyfriend and my son and they were even sweeter in-person. Dr. Holden came in and spent nearly an hour with me going over what could be going on. Not once did he mention the cosmetic side until I brought it up. This shows me that he genuinely cares and is not just in it for the money! He took photos of my face from different angles. He actually listened to everything I had to say from the health portion to the cosmetic side. He gave me recommendations and referrals for the health side and then said he would be back after he edits my photos to try and show me what the nose I was hoping for would look like. He came back in the room and what I saw brought instant tears to me eyes! It was the nose I have DREAMED of!! I spoke finances with one of the ladies (who was also so dang friendly) and left in HAPPY TEARS. Not sad tears feeling insufficient like I did with the other ENT I saw. This was a few weeks ago. Every day I look at the photos he gave me and dream and set goals to one day be able to afford it! Eventually that day will come and I literally cannot wait! I work in the beauty industry and I have met many different personalities. Some great, some not so great. After that experience I can hands down say I 100% trust Dr. Holden with my life and when that glorious day comes - I'll be editing this review to post my before and after photos of my nose! You'll all be appalled with the difference. True artist. Genuine man. Give him a shot, you will not regret it! Oh, beautiful office as well!"

"Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery - I've always had excess skin fold over my eyes (it's genetic), but when the lower eyelids began to deflate and wrinkle, I knew it was time to have these procedures done. A lot of the deflation in my face is due to having lost 100 pounds almost 20 years ago. At one point, I had fat injected into the lower eyelids but that only lasted a few years before they lost their fullness. Anyhow, this is my journey!"
"Facelift and Eye Lift - I interviewed 3 top docs, after much research. My greatest concern was that I look natural. I also had some asymmetry that i was hoping could be improved. I am now 9 mos. post op and I couldn't be happier. Everyone says how young I look but nobody has guessed that I had plastic surgery, not even my daughters. I wanted natural eyes, not the deer-in-the-headlight look. My eyes look..."
"Forehead Advancment....yay - I'm only one week post op from a forehead advancement. I mean I have dealt with a very high forehead all my life. Hated it, and tired of hiding it with bangs. Yes I'm a very young 67 yr old who dates younger men so I want to look good. However, the benefit of the surgery was a one inch lowering of my hairline AND a brow lift. Besides alittle bruising under the eyes and normal numbness on my..."
"Best Plastic Surgeon! - From the moment you walk into the spa-like waiting room at Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons, you feel like you are the most important person in their day. I live in Dallas but flew to Phoenix after a fried of mine told me about Dr Holden. I had an upper and lower Blepharoplasty and lower face-lift. I'm 56 and I wanted to do a little tweaking before my son's wedding in April but not look totally..."
"Amazing Surgeon with the kindest heart ever! - Dr. Holden is an amazing surgeon and has a true kind soul. I trust this doctor 100%. I have had my eyes done with him and will be going in for a lower face lift. He is a true artist and has the best bed side manner."
"Last year I went in for a consultation with dr Holden after seeing the results a friend of mine had with a brow lift, revision rhinoplasty, and Blepharoplasty. I was also looking into having an upper Blepharoplasty. During my consultation dr holden noticed the droop in my nasal tip (from a prior rhinoplasty I had done nearly a decade prior by another surgeon). He inquired about my..."

"Chin Implant, Lower Facelift, Fat Grafting- 42 Year Old Female- Best Decision - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr Holden was amazing- start to finish. He was very honest with me, and we discussed the best plan for my multiple issues. This was not a quick conversation and I was so impressed with the way he explained everything to me. He spent considerable time going over what the surgery itself would entail, what to expect after surgery, and my questions about recovery. He understands that this is both exciting and a bit terrifying as well- because it is my face after all. I wanted to look like myself, but with a better profile and jawline. He explained that a lower facelift, custom chin implant, as well as a touch of fat grafting under the eyes, at the temples, and at the lips would give me the results I desired.Interestingly enough, I was planning on having a different surgery for this problem, where my jaw would be broken and moved forward (orthagnathic surgery) and we spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of both. Since my braces had largely corrected my teeth crowding and overbite, there would only be a few millimeters added with orthagnathic surgery. This would not be enough to change my profile in a noticeable way, and I would still need soft tissue reconstruction to get my desired effect. Not to mention, I would NOT need my jaw wired shut for 6 weeks with a facelift, and the pain would be remarkably less as well.Dr Holden made me feel very confident in my decision, and his advice was so valuable to me. His expertise was obvious as well. Not once did he pressure me or rush my decision, and we decided to proceed.After surgery, he was just as interested in my recovery and had frequent follow up visits. I felt he genuinely cared about my well being and outcome. I really could not be happier! I feel so grateful to Dr Holden for all the time he spent walking me through this complicated decision, and the results speak for themselves. When my friends see me now a week out, even though I'm still a little bruised and swollen, the typical reaction is tears of joy. I have several friends who are plastic surgeons, and they were impressed with my results right away as well. I am so grateful that Dr Holden was my surgeon- I have never felt so beautiful."

I have several friends who are plastic surgeons, and they were impressed with my results right away as well. I am so grateful that Dr Holden was my surgeon- I have never felt so beautiful. - - I was born with an underdeveloped jaw, a small chin, a large fat pad under my jaw, an overbite, and crowded teeth, and as I aged, the problem was compounded and simply looked worse every year. I am very thin, but always have a "double chin" and there was no definition from my chin to my neck. From the front, I felt pretty, but my profile was extremely unflattering. I was told as young as 15 years old that I needed surgery to correct these issues, but I couldn't afford it. I have struggled to maintain a positive self image ever since. This year, I finally decided to get braces to correct my overbite and smile, and decided to go ahead with facial reconstructive surgery as well. Now, even in this early postoperative phase, I couldn't be happier! The surgery is a game changer for me, and I finally feel beautiful from every angle, thanks to Dr Holden."

"46 Year Old in Need of "Refreshing" - Scottsdale, AZ - As I aforementioned, Dr. Holden is the ONLY doctor I trust my face with. Period. He is a skilled artist, yet personable with a caring bedside manner."
"Fantastic Doctor!! - Dr. Holden is what a doctor should be. While other plastic surgeons treat you like a moneybag with eyes, this doctor is caring and compassionate! I am confident trusting Dr. Holden with my face. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend Dr. Holden to anyone and everyone!"
"Beautiful Work - Scottsdale, AZ - I could not recommend Dr. Holden more highly. I am a professor and so did considerable research before choosing my mid-facelift and blepharoplasty surgeon. When you will be lying unconscious on an operating table with your face under the knife and in the hands of a surgeon, you don’t want to base your decision on price. I must admit that I was not prepared for the cost. But fortunately by then, I was so convinced of Dr. Holden’s superior skill that I had my mind made up and jumped through a lot of hoops to make it work financially. I am so grateful I did! Dr. Holden does beautiful work! I would do it again in a heartbeat – but only with Dr. Holden as my surgeon!"
"Best Surgeon in AZ for Facelift and Fat Grafting - Scottsdale, AZ - Explained all options in a clear, respectful way. Answered all of my questions, provided a comfortable surgical experience, excellent work and followup. My experience and results ate better than I ever expected! You cant get a better facelift surgeon in Arizona!!"
"Best Surgeon for Facelifts! Belle of my 40th Reunion! - Scottsdale, AZ - Caring Doctor, Exceptionally gifted surgeon, wonderful experience overall!"
"Facelift, Upper/lower Blepharoplasty, Necklift - Scottsdale, AZ - Tired, baggy, looked old.Even as a 50+ year-old attorney, I was hesitant and honestly scared at the prospect of having plastic surgery. In fact, I canceled my scheduled surgery with a different surgeon out of fear. After my consultation with Dr. H, I felt really comfortable and confident for the first time.It’s now been 6 months since my surgery and I could not be happier with the face lift and eyelid surgery. I've had so many compliments since the surgery about how healthy and rested I look. No one suspects I had surgery because the change, while dramatic, suits me. It looks so natural!"
"I was referred by a friend who had some touch-ups done by Dr Holden. I know it's common in my age group. I was tentative about surgery because of all the scaring I see on my buddies wives. I was embarrassed to even want a facelift and necklift! Dr Holden was relaxing and reassuring. I felt like I was given all the time I needed. I appreciated that he was a board certified specialist in face surgery not just a general guy who does a little bit of everything.The tight neck and square jaw I had in my youth is back. The floppy skin around my eyes is smooth. I feel like I'm more competitive with the younger guys because I'm not "the old man" on the jobsite anymore. There are no scars that give away that I've had anything done. I wouldn't believe it it could turn out this great but I am overwhelmingly satisfied!You've only got one face and you can't hide "mistakes" on your face. I'm glad I went with my gut and got the work done by Dr Holden. I'm confident when I say he is the best there is when you want something done for your face."

"Dr. Holden is wonderful. He fixed my sagging eyelids and let me see again! He is so kind and caring, took lots of time with me. After the surgery, called me up at home to check on me. I am so happy with the way my eyes look. I'm going to be saving up to have my sagging neck fixed next. He's the only plastic surgeon I'll let touch me. The greatest!!!"
