"Rhinoplasty - Scottsdale, AZ - I couldn't be happier with my new nose.I hated my nose for as long as I can remember, when I looked in the mirror or at pictures of myself that's all I saw. The first time I met with Dr.Holden he pin pointed my exact issues with my nose with out my having to tell him. He was very kind and patient and answered all of my questions. While talking to him it was obvious he knew what he was talking about and was an expert in his field. I felt so comfortable and confident with him that I canceled my other consultes (with another surgon I used in the past) and scheduled by surgery for the next week. Dr.Holden also saw me at every one of my follow up appointments, not some nurse, which was very important to me and helped with my post surgery anxiety. With being 34 years old and a mother of 3 it was very important to me for my new nose to look natural. It does. I am thrilled when I look in the mirror and the people close to me have all remarked how wonderful it looks. While people that I haven't shared my surgery haven't noticed or at least not enough to say "oh my gosh you got a nose job!" I still look like me. :)"
"Dr Holden is Amazing. Definitely Book a Consultation. - Dr Holden preformed my rhinoplasty and is now one of my favorite people. He is truly a caring, compassionate and extremely talented physician. I have medical background and within minutes of meeting Dr Holden, could tell how incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable he is. The day of my surgery I was very nervous and he literally held my hand and talked everything through with me. My nose has turned out so beautifully and I will definitely post pictures when my swelling subsides a bit. I could not be happier!"
"If you are looking for the best, look no further! I came upon Dr. Paul Holden by word of mouth from a past patient. The idea of finding a facial plastic surgeon through an online search alone was daunting and I am incredibly grateful for this referral. I give Dr. Paul Holden and his staff a 10/10 (and I am a tough critic!). Everyone in the office and operating room was supportive, available to answer any and all questions, put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision to move forward with an elective surgery. Might I add, I did my consultation via phone and did not meet Dr. Holden until the day of surgery. The downtime involved as compared the result that I received made it completely worthwhile. I am just two weeks post-op and could not possibly be any happier with the entire experience. I had an in person consultation with another surgeon who told me to come see him in 10 years for the procedure. Why would I want to spend my 40’s not looking the best I could? Dr. Holden is kind, intelligent, personable and a very talented surgeon. He is well respected and admired by his staff. A testament to the type of person Dr. Holden is:Three days after my surgery my five year old son had an accident and required stitches on his face and inside his mouth. I went out on a limb and called the office to see if he could stitch he him up rather than going to the ER. One hour later I was in his office getting my little guy all fixed up. He was booked with back to back appointments yet he spent nearly an hour stitching my son’s face up perfectly. Two weeks later he has only a light pink scar. I can’t imagine what the result may have been had I gone to the emergency room."

"Very Happy - I wanted Rhinoplasty for a pretty long time, but was always scared, or on the fence about it because I have seen so many bad procedures. Bad as in overdone, or a nose with 2 holes and tiny point that stood out as "a nose job." This was my fear. I did not want to look so different that people would wonder what I did to my face. I explained all my concerns to Dr. Holden. He assured me this would not happen, and made me feel comfortable with the procedure. It has only been 18 days since my procedure and I'm very happy with the changes. It is subtle, not drastic, and I still look like myself. I went back to work after 1 week and no one really noticed I even had this done. One guy asked me if I changed my hair. He thought something looked a little different, but could not tell what. I think this is a sign of a good procedure. Cosmetic surgery should look natural, and not overdone. I would highly recommend Dr. Holden if you are considering Rhinoplasty."
"5 Stars For The Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon Superstars - I chose Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons because they value their patients. From our initial conversation, the staff validated me as a person and my concerns as important. They were professional, respectful, personable, engaging and accommodating with my needs. They listened, adjusted and worked with my complicated schedule. They showed interest in my questions and gave answers that I understood. I felt safe discussing personal and sensitive concerns and felt better about myself and my decision to move forward after talking with them. I chose Dr. Holden initially because of his knowledge within his specialized area of practice as well as his familiarity and skill of modern medical practices and innovative techniques. After meeting with him, I chose Dr. Holden because of his soft spoken approachability and ease to talk with. His philosophy of care lined up with what I was looking for. He asked thorough questions and listened with gentle hearted calmness and confidence. He was upfront and forth rite about the procedures I was interested in and provided the best plan for personal treatment by maintaining my interest above all else. Before and after surgery Dr. Holden has been 100% available for me, by phone and in person. Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons’ natural concerning care backed by their assurance of my safety and well being has had a profound impact on me. Looking better esteems feeling and doing better and I have Dr. Holden and his staff to thank."
"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!"

"Rhinoplasty - Dr. Holden is the Best! - I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Holden on 09/23/2019 and I could not be any happier with my results. When I explained my problem, Dr. Holden understood and knew exactly what to do. He said: You will have a beautiful nose; I held him to his word and there is no disappointment, I fell in love with my new nose right after the surgery! If I could give 10 stars, I would.I highly recommend Dr. Holden. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Excellent Rhinoplasty by Dr Holden! - I would highly recommend Paul Holden for rhinoplasty! had a rhinoplasty done with Paul Holden on August 30th, and Ofcourse with any big procedure I had my concerns and was nervous, and I felt 100 percent comfortable and trusted Dr. Holden right away! He is so genuine, and trustworthy I would never see anyone else! He was extremely kind and professional and he makes you feel comfortable at all times. He truly is extremely talented at what he does. He did EXACTLY what I asked for. I have a few friends who are considering it they say just because they can’t believe how natural and good my nose looks now. :) if I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would. He truly is the BEST!!! -Brooke"
"God Bless You Dr. Holden!!! - If you are considering Dr. Holden DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER!!! I cannot stop smiling and feeling sensational about my results! After having botched surgery with some awful so-called doctor, Dr. Holden gave me my life and happiness back, he delivered results that tremendously exceeded my expectations. My nose is perfect! His work is exquisite, customized to your unique features, and undetectable! Regardless of his expertise, he's so charismatic, down to earth, and he takes the time to listen and answer all of your concerns. I thank God everyday for helping me make this decision, I am beyond happy with my results. God bless this sensational, amazing, gifted surgeon!!!"
"Truly Exceptional. He Should Have His Own TV Show. - Dr. Holden exceeded my expectations. My result is so amazing, that I am still trying to wrap my head around it. He’s not only a skilled plastic surgeon, but he is also an artist, something that I feel cannot be taught. I had a previous rhinoplasty and a revision with another surgeon. I was living with a result that was clearly worse than if I never had the surgery. I was depressed. I was convinced that it could not be improved. I finally took control of my life and researched the best plastic surgeon I could find. I thought I had done that before, but I found out the hard way that with rhinoplasty, there was a lot more research I should have done. Qualifications I then looked for were 1) Expert FACIAL plastic surgeon, 2) Performs over 50 rhinoplasties a year, and 3) Has high satisfaction ratings. Dr. Holden has all that and more in aces. When I met with Dr. Holden, he was confident that he could improve my nose, and communicated this effectively and compassionately; the final qualification that sealed the deal. I am six weeks past my surgery, now, but I was happy on the day they took my bandage off at one week. The experience was truly exceptional. He should have his own TV show. He is that good."
"God bless this gifted, talented, amazing physician!!! His work is exquisite, customized, and simply the best!!! I cannot say enough words to express my gratitude to this surgeon that delivered excellent results to my case. His staff, his office, and himself will treat you respectfully, and friendly; not like a number or rush you into anything. They have helped me every step and have given me way more than I expected. If you are considering a plastic surgeon in AZ, you have found him!!! God bless..."
"Highly Skilled Surgeon - From start to finish Dr. Holden was amazing. He is a highly skilled and talented surgeon. He performed a lower face lift with my neck lift and I truly love my results. The only thing I can say negative is... I didn't realize how long the recovery process could be, and believe me when I say, it's a "rough" recovery-IMO. Your in good hands with Dr. Holden!"
"Amazing!!! - I had my rhinoplasty surgery done on 1/14/19. I had a bridge, and my nose pointed down. A week later, when everything was taken off, i hardly had any swelling, and very minimal bruising. Dr. Holden was very kind, understanding and knew exactly what I needed from the beginning. I definitely recommend Dr. Holden. I’m so inlove with my new nose:D"
"Highly Recommend Dr. Holden - Dr. Holden is an excellent surgeon. I had a neck lift and sub nasal lift and the entire experience was simple, easy and very professional. I am extremely happy with my results and highly recommend Dr. Holden."
"Extremely happy with my results! - I have hated the shape of my nose since high school and have always dreamed of having a rhinoplasty done. I would use the side mirror in my bathroom to look at my profile and cover the dorsal hump with my index finger just so I could imagine the “what if”. As much as I wanted it done, I was always nervous of the idea of actually going through with it until I met Dr. Holden. In the middle of ..."
"I Couldn't Be Happier! - Dr. Holden is a very talented physician. Not only is he exceptional at facial plastic surgery, he is kind, compassionate and caring. I am extremely pleased with my eye lift and face lift, I couldn't be happier. He makes you feel comfortable every step of the way explaining the surgery and recovery in detail. He has the best bed-side manner of any physician I've encountered!"
"Dr. Holden for Rhinoplasty! - I had a rhinoplasty procedure yesterday, after years of wanting to have one, but not actively pursuing to do so. I wanted a small refinement to my profile. I chose Dr. Holden because of his warm and caring nature, and his close attention to detail. In the initial consultation and meeting with Dr. Holden, I knew I had chosen the right doc for the job. Not only is he a fantastic plastic surgeon..."
"Dr. Paul Holden is a Very Gifted Plastic Surgeon. - Dr. Paul Holden is a fantastic plastic surgeon. I would highly recommend that anyone needing facial plastic surgery use him. My results were outstanding. Arizona is very fortunate to have him as a resource in our area."
"Walking through the fear! - I initially went to talk to Dr. Holden in May of 2016 about straightening my septum and removing a bump on my nose from when it was broken when I was young. I got nervous and opted not to do it. A friend of mine went to see him for a similar surgery and went through with it. After seeing the results and the success that my friend had I opted to go through with it in March of 2017. Tonight I..."

"My Rhinoplasty - Dr. Holden is the best doctor I’ve ever met, my consultation was free through the Real Self app, and at my consultation, he was very respectful and kind. He knew exactly what I wanted and knew the exact changes I wanted done on my nose. I felt very comfortable around him, he answered all my questions regarding my rhinoplasty and left me satisfied. I’ve given him my 110% trust and it’s truly..."
"Excellent doctor! After having visited many plastic surgeons in the Scottsdale area, I knew immediately after speaking with him that he was the right doctor. He performed a rhinoplasty and did a phenomenal job. In addition, the nurses and office staff were great."
"Experienced Cosmetic Patient- Cellfina Review - First, let me say my review is geared at the Cellfina treatment itself, not Dr. Holden. Dr. Holden has a great bedside manner, is patient, and wants his patients to have the best results possible. As for the Cellfina treatment, this was by far the most painful cosmetic procedure I’ve had, and I’m no rookie. I started Restalyne injections (without lidocaine) at 27 yrs old, I’ve had a BA, r..."
"Beautiful Rhinoplasty results - There was nothing about my expiry Dr Holden I would change. He is professional, attentive, responsive and his bed side manner is reassuring."
"No More"wings", but I'm Still an Angel - Dr Tsujimura and Dr Holden work together in perfect harmony. Dr Tsujimura does the body and Dr Holden does the face. What a great thing. Two doctors for the price of one. They specialize in their area. Dr Tsujimura worked on me for 3 hours and Dr Holden for 7 hours.When I came in for my consult Dr Tsujimura knew what I wanted and help me to understand the process. I'm one week and one day..."
"I Finally Did It and So Far...so Good! - Scottsdale, AZ - I met with the doctor Paul Holden originally to discuss my nasal labial folds. We decided to use Juvéderm to inject and I was in love with the results. We also discussed rhinoplasty which I have wanted for more than 20 years. I met with several other surgeons and ultimately decided on Dr. Holden because he instilled confidence in me in his abilities and I also chose his partner for a full mommy makeover.I am currently just under two weeks out from surgery and I am very satisfied with my results. I will continue to update with photos and review as I continue to heal. I know additional swelling will subside and there will be more definition and a more refined look as I healI wish there was a better way to control the order the photos are posted"
"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..."
"I'm very grateful for Dr. Holden! I was very nervous when I first walked in his office, as I'd never had any cosmetic procedures performed before. As soon I saw him walk in the room with a contagious smile, I immediately felt a sense of relief. He was very specific when answering all of my questions, without looking rushed or uninterested. He is professional, honest, and a definitely caring Doctor. I am very happy with the results of my rhinoplasty and chin implant. He IS the best plastic surgeon! If you're considering a cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend you visit Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons!"

"Exceptional doctor, caring staff, amazing results - Dr. Holden is an amazing professional with a combination of education, surgical skill, and artistic eye that can bring your vision to life. He is a warm and genuine person that surrounds himself with gentle and caring staff. I was told by other surgeons my expectation for a lower face and neck lift was not realistic for a woman in her mid-60s who had recently lost 50 pounds. Dr. Holden..."

"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."
"The rhinoplasty I've always wanted! - I couldn't be more grateful for my rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Holden! After having my initial consultation back in March I knew that he would be the perfect person to give me the nose I've wanted for years. My recovery was speedy, I was off my pain and anxiety meds after four days and I didn't have one bruise on my face. I asked him for a lot and he completely delivered. He's such a..."
"AMAZING - Dr. Holden was absolutely amazing. He took time to really examine my face and has an artistic eye that is unsurpassed. He did my tear troughs and nasolabial folds. The outcome exceeded my expectations. He took 10 years off my face and gave me my confidence back! He is caring and made me feel welcome. His staff is wonderful as well. They got me in right away and were flexible with my schedule...."

"Great doctor and great staff! - Dr. Holden did phenomenal work in my reconstructive nasal surgery after an accident injury. Not only does my nose look aesthetically pleasing and natural but, he also was able to repair the internal damage that was causing me continuous pain. He had incredible and compassionate bedside manner from pre-surgery to post-surgery. Every single one of his staff members were friendly and caring as..."
"Dr. Holden did my rhinoplasty and submentoplasty. It's only been a little over two weeks and I am already thrilled with my nose. It is obvious that he listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. Rhinoplasty can be scary because it is truly an art and choosing the wrong surgeon can lead to some really poor results. My neck also already looks tighter and I can't wait to see the final results of both as swelling continues to down. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering facial surgery!"
"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..."

"38 Years Old, 2 Kids, Life Long Battle with Cellulite Finally over !!! Scottsdale, AZ - I am 38 years old and feel as if I have dealtwith cellulite since my teens even though I have always led a healthy lifestyle and regularly workout (4-5 times a week). I was beyond myself when I heard about a procedure that treats cellulite that actually works. I have spent countless hours and ridiculous amounts of money trying to treat cellulite throughout the years... Everything from scrubs, creams, derma-rollers, pills, Vela Shape... Nothing ever worked !! I had my Cellfina treatment Friday April 22nd at Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons. I was a bit apprehensive about the procedure but after doing a lot of research and seeing several results from personal friends I decided this was the best choice for me. Dr. Paul Holden, Dr. Ryan Tsujimura, and their staff are extremely amazing, answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease about the procedure. The entire process (pictures, marking, numbing and procedure) took less than two hours. It was over before I knew it... The doctors and staff created a relaxing atmosphere and talked me through the whole process always making sure I was comfortable. It was all done under local anesthetic and I was able to drive myself home after the procedure. The procedure itself was relatively painless. My treated areas were covered with dressings and I was given a compression garment to wear for the next couple of weeks. It has only been 2 days and I can already see a difference. I barely have any bruising or swelling and I have not experienced the "leakage" many people have posted about. I will post pictures soon; I want to obtain my before pictures from them before posting so that I can show other people considering this treatment the true progress of my procedure. I am more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have."
"Restylane Lyft Gave Me the Lift I Needed. - After getting sick a few years ago, I noticed my face had lost weight. My temples had dips and had lost volume in my cheeks making me look sickly. Having worked in a cosmetic dermatologist office, I decided to visit a experienced plastic surgeon to discuss my options. I'm so glad I saw Dr. Holden. After a great consultation, he recommended Restylane Lyft to my cheeks and temples. I'm happy to say my confidence is back and I recommend Dr. Holden and anyone looking to get a lift discuss Restylane with their physician."
"22, Female, rhinoplasty - Scottsdale, AZ - I've always disliked my nose, but here lately I wasn't happy at all looking at my reflection in the mirror. Dr. Holden did such an amazing job on my nose, I literally feel like a different person. I don't mind people taking pictures of me now! Oh, and I've received so many compliments. It's a big difference, and I love it! I would 100% recommend Dr. Holden to anyone! I know if I ever want to get anything else done, I will definitely be going to him!"
"Minor Fix Here and There. Scottsdale, AZ - ?I have never really liked the bridge height or the thickness of my nose tip. Not only was I unhappy, I had no idea what I needed to make it look more appealing. Did I need to take down the bridge? Narrow the tip or bring in my nostrils? Due to the luck I'm usually dealt with if something was going to go wrong it would happen to me. Like the average person, I was nervous. Finally, I got the guts to do something about it. I then made an appointment with Dr. Paul Holden in February 2016. I got all of my questions & concerns answered. Dr. Holden also pointed out a few things I never would have recognized. My pictures were taken and imaged to my liking. I fell in love with what my " new " nose would look like. My chin was also addressed and made more pronounced in the imaging process. I then scheduled my surgery for March 11, 2016. The " Big Day" came and I was more than ready. IV was placed, by the best nurse Lindsey; who made absolutely painless. I walked back to the operating room, took about a 3.5 hour nap and woke up feeling great. Most people don't remember waking up after a surgical procedure but I can say I remember most of it. I did decide to go with the chin implant as well as the rhinoplasty (open). After the anesthesia wore off I did not have as much pain as I anticipated, the only pain I experienced was my chin; whichj was a burning/stinging sensation and lasted about 3-4 days. My pain medication was taken for a day or 2 otherwise Tylenol extra strength was taken as needed. I had surgery on a Friday afternoon and was back to work by Tuesday. My splint and sutures were removed at 1 week and had a little round circle maybe 2cm of bruising on my left lower eyelid and a speck of bruising on my right upper eyelid and of course the usual swelling. Arnica (aids in bruising) and Bromelain (pineapple extract; to help reduce swelling) were my best friends ;) I get asked why I had surgery and I simply did it for myself. There is no better feeling than self confidence and mine definitely has improved. Nor do I have to take 100+ selfies or contour my nose for the perfect lighting. Overall, having surgery was 110% worth it & I would do it all over again."
"What a great surgeon! And a great staff too! - Great surgeon!! What a great job he did for me! My wife says I look 15 years younger now. So happy I went to Dr Holden! I would highly recommend him for any work surgery you are considering. He and his staff are great. They make you feel safe and that you chose the right team to take care of your very personal medical treatment."
"A new beautiful profile!! - I have received Kybella And a rhinoplasty from Dr. Holden, and I am absolutely delighted. My profile looks so nice, without the double chin and a new nose. I trust him completely. He was absolutely patient and kind throughout, as were his nurses. They are so friendly! I plan on returning to him again for a facelift in the future. Many other surgeons work on the face and body, but he has a..."

"I Finally Did It and So Far...so Good! - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Paul Holden is a very patient and charismatic physician. He listened to what I was hoping to achieve with my rhinoplasty and he described in detail how he could help achieve that. He also spoke with me several times on the phone as I was deciding between him and another surgeon. He instilled confidence in me that he had the experience and abilities necessary to achieve the look I wanted.I will continue to update as my nose heals I am a perfectionist and I analyze my nose at every angle and obviously see some slight imperfections. This is to be expected with both a natural nose and with rhinoplasty I am excited to see my nose become even more refined and sophisticated looking"

Thank you Dr. Holden!"
"After many consultations with several surgeons I'm happy to say I found Dr. Holden. He is hands down the best of the best when it comes to trusting someone for facial plastic surgery. Dr. Holden performed a revision rhinoplasty and chin augmentation on me. After doing extensive research, Dr. Holden was more than qualified for the job. He had the same vision I had when it came to creating the masterpiece that he did. He turned my imperfection into perfection. I'm a person who worries about every little thing, and not only did Dr. Holden answer all my questions but he never rushed me and always made me feel comfortable. Behind every phenomenal doctor is great staff. Everyone was positive, smiled and was happy to assist. Andrea provided me with step by step instructions and explained everything to me. The customer service was beyond my expectations. Dr. Holden will be the only doctor to perform any future facial plastic surgery that I may need as I age."
"We're beholden to Dr Holden for repairing a ruptured artery in my son's sinus cavity!! 3 different ER hospitals and only this doctor correctly diagnosed the problem!! Awesome ENT!!!"
"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."
"Doctor Paul Holden is truly a fine surgeon. He is meticulous in his surgery skills. All he does is faces which is nice because he is refined to one area. I have used Doc Holden since he came to Scottsdale about 10 years now. I would recommend him highly and would be glad to talk to anyone who hesitates seeing him. He is kind and gentle in his manner. Smart, witty, and fun!!"
"Cellfina -Cellulite B Gone for 40 Year Old - Scottsdale, AZ - I can tell Dr Holden really knows what he's doing with the procedure. Again, it was important to me to have a surgeon perform the treatment on me. It's a new technology and I wanted the best trained hands working on me. I think I avoided the pitfalls of an inexperienced doctor: pain, bruising, incisions and scars, bad results by doing my research. I really felt like he and his staff were going out of their was to keep me comfortable. His technique is first rate! The effect in removing my cellulite had been amazing!"
"38 Years Old, 2 Kids, Life Long Battle with Cellulite Finally over !!! Scottsdale, AZ - Both physicians (Dr. Tsujimura and Dr. Holden) at Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons are everything a plastic surgeon should strive for: professional, courteous, caring, and compassionate... to name a few."
"Minor Fix Here and There. Scottsdale, AZ - My first impression of Dr. Holden was great from the start. He has AMAZING bed side manner with a great sense of humor. He is very knowledgeable and wants you to understand what the surgery consists of. You can tell he loves what he does and makes sure you leave your consult with a smile. He cares about his patients as if they are family; in my mind you can get no better than that!"
"complete package: skilled surgeon-artistic eye-great communicator. Scottsdale, AZ - I am so pleased to have had Dr. Holden as my surgeon. He took the time to answerall my questions. His attention to detail is just what a perfectionist like myself wasseeking. The entire experience was a positive. Everything ran smoothly, andeveryone involved seemed as excited as I was with my outcome."
"Ponytail Upper Facelift and Revision Rhinoplasty for 45 Year Old. Scottsdale AZ - I continue to have Dr. Holden as my plastic surgeon because he is the best around. He has excellent surgical skills, he's not pushy, he understands what I want and tells me in a straightforward way how he can, and in some cases cannot, get me there. His concern is always for my safety and comfort first and foremost. And- he is a truely talented surgeon. I wouldn't let any other surgeons touch my face."
"Lip Injections - Phoenix, AZ - So I went to Dr.Paul to get my Lip Injections his so nice really friendly he will answer all your questions! Treats you like Family and does not make up wait hrs to get seen I love this place 5Star recomend it to anyone looking to get done about pain I didn't think it hurted eyes did get watery but other their pain I DIDNT GET NO PAIN"
"Ultherapy. Scottsdale, AZ - My experience of Ultherapy with Dr. Holden was just as he said it would be. Dr. Holden was very present with all of my questions and concerns.The treatment itself is not exactly a walk in the park, since the laser does sting a bit as it fires. But it is more or less tolerable. And after the 3 (or so) day healing process my skin felt tighter and had a newly resurfaced kind of glow.I found Dr. Holden to be a kind, competent, caring man, who felt very trustable to me."
"Dr. Holden was amazing. I went to see him to inquire about nerve decompression surgery to treat chronic migraine. I've been suffering with migraines my entire life but Dr. Holden managed to teach me a few things I didn't already know. (a difficult task) Dr. Holden could have easily persuaded me to get this surgery even though it would not have worked for me but instead he was honest. He will forever be my plastic surgeon of choice. Highly recommended."
"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."
"Excellent Revision: Nose Surgery - Phoenix, AZ - Amazing results. My wife went to him for first time nose surgery. I went to him shortly after for a revision (another surgeon did initial). He is meticulous and very specific. I absolutely love my revision and my wife loves her new nose. Dr. Holden is easy to talk to, always takes plenty of time during consults, and he gets the results that you want. I would highly recommend him for nose surgery or any other facial surgery."
"39 Years Old and a Long over Do Ear and Nose Job - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr.Holden is an amazing,skilled,professional who is gifted as a surgeon and as an artist.He has the ability to listen,observe,recommend and follow through.He delivers more than expected!He is a down to earth person who has the eye,skill and professionalism which one rarely finds in any field.

"Physician Review- Facial Fat Transfer - Phoenix, AZ - I was very nervous to undergo what I considered to be a fairly invasive procedure, but I could not have chosen a better physician. Dr. Holden took the time to talk through options on several occasions, provided expert advice and proved himself to be the ultimate professional. This was exactly what I was going for! After my experience with Dr. Holden, I would not even consider going to anyone else."

"Far Beyond Talent - I am so grateful to have found such a exceptionally skilled doctor who has the upmost bedside manner I have ever come across. I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty done by him and my nose and breathing are better than ever. The consultation with him was how I came to believe that he is such a caring and knowledgeable doc. I showed him how I would like my nose to look and he showed me on the screen what it will look like afterwards, and it has. Dr. Holden has such a big heart and he realizes that his patients are most important."
"Exceptional Doctor, Caring and Genuine Individual - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Holden is a true rarity. He is both an extremely gifted surgeon as well as a warm, caring and genuine person. His surgical approach is exactly what I was looking for...totally natural and aesthetically pleasing results. I was very skeptical if this was possible as I'm at a point where I need preventative maintenance vs "alterations". I did not want any "tweaks" to be noticeable to even my closest friends. Dr. Holden was extremely patient, listened to all of my concerns and was always reassuring. However, he NEVER pressured me to do anything. As confident as he was in knowing what I exactly wanted, he emphasized that he wanted me to be as confident as him and if I was at all hesitant, not to go through with it. I postponed my surgery several times yet Dr. Holden's support never wavered. His staff was equally as patient and understanding. I would've cancelled altogether after reading the endless horror stories of under eye fat transfers, however I couldn't help but trust Dr. Holden...and I was right! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my results and couldn't be happier...they way exceeded my expectations! My husband who was very skeptical and didn't want me to do anything at all is extremely pleased too. My only regret is not finding Dr. Holden earlier. I plan on having my upper lids "tweaked" in a few months and there is absolutely no one else I would trust but Dr. Holden."

"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!"
"Passionate About His Work - Scottsdale, AZ - As a fellow physician, I know how important it is that a doctor is not only well trained, but also passionate about their work. Dr. Holden graduated from one of the best facial plastic surgery fellowships in the country. His training is quite impressive, but it is also evident that he truly loves what he does which translates into quality results and an amazing bedside manner. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedures, risks, benefits, and alternatives. I never felt pressured into a procedure, but did receive adequate guidance and information from Dr. Holden to make an educated decision. I opted to have Ultherapy, laser resurfacing, botox, and fillers. I'm thrilled with the results! Dr. Holden was able to take years off my face through minimally invasive means. I would highly recommend him."
"Wouldn't Look Back. Hands Down, Best Surgeon I've Met - Scottsdale, AZ - I've intentionally waited 3 ½ months post-surgery (rhinoplasty/septoplasty) to recount my experience with Dr. Holden so as to assure a more honest and realistic impression of his work. My impression remains today what it was the day I met him. Dr. Holden is by far one of the most caring, sensitive, and meticulous surgeons (and dare I say doctors, in general) that I have met out of more than a dozen other surgeons in the 4 years preceding my procedure. Twice before my current surgery, I met with series of surgeons over 4 years time and each time was scared away from the process either due to frustration with doctors' bedside manner, doubts based on photos of their work, or lack of confidence in making right decision. The day I walked out of Dr. Holden's office, I chose my desired surgery date/time and committed to the process with him without a hesitation. I walked out of his office 100% confident and excited that I was making the right decision in choosing him as my surgeon. Dr. Holden has just the right combination of patient-centered, caring approach + skill that I was desperate for. He spent over an hour and a half with me at my initial meeting, anticipated ALL of my questions and wants before I voiced them, then still gave me an opportunity to fill in my spreadsheet of questions all with a smile on his face and refreshing sense of humor. He has been readily available for any follow-up questions/visits and even provides patients with a personal cell phone number for immediate access when needed. Regarding skill, I am currently 32 and had one previous surgery at age 15, but unfortunately the changes since had left me insecure still about the appearance of my face and nose. I dreaded close-up photos for years and felt sad more often than not when looking into a mirror. Since week 2 post-surgery, I already have a renewed sense of self. Dr. Holden crafted a nose that I feel I was meant to be born with. I no longer dread photos and already feel that my surgery has been a magnificent success. Interestingly, my friends and colleagues were shocked when I told them I had surgery just 2 weeks post-op, as the healing process was so natural. It is only when I look back to old photos that I realize how dramatic my new appearance is. What Dr. Holden has produced far exceeds the expectations that even he set forth in his office, both thru computer-generated photos and discussions re. realistic expectations. I would recommend Dr. Holden to anyone as an expert in his field and am grateful for the time and care he continues to extend to me as a patient. He has consistently demonstrated compassion and integrity pre- and post-op where other surgeons failed to do so, and I am beyond pleased with my decision to work with him. Not only has he helped me with superficial gain, but he has helped me to feel like a renewed person inside out, and for that I am forever grateful."
"Truly Amazing! - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Holden is a truly gifted surgeon, honestly caring individual, and his experience and training are top-notch (I am a fellow physician and can confidently recommend him). But what truly sets him apart is his devotion to his patients' care and happiness. He will spend time with you to explain everything in detail. But he will do it with sincerity and finesse. He will follow up with you immediately regardless if it means coming in on Saturday morning. His secretary, Jen, is equally professional and always gets right back to calls or emails. They are a dynamic duo. My longest wait time was probably 10 minutes and that was when I was worked into the schedule for a quick check up because I wanted reassurance. Again, I was treated as if I had been on the schedule for weeks. No rush or fuss and Dr Holden spent time to explain everything and even to share a joke. I made payment installments and it was no problem. I would not only recommend him to my family and friends but insist they see only him. My nose not only functions better (deviated septum gone) but looks fabulous!! A MILLION and a HALF THANKS to Dr HOLDEN and Jen!!!"
"Wouldn't Trust my Face to Anyone Else - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Holden was my top choice after meeting with several other “well known” plastic surgeons. His professionalism and knowledge of face surgeries gained my confidence. I never felt pressured to add on surgeries I didn’t want. He did correct my perceptions about what surgeries would provide which enhancements. Dr. Holden is a real artist!"

"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!"
"Talented and Personable - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Holden is personable and talented. His understanding of facial anatomy is unsurpassed."

"Talented and personable - I have been considering Dr. Holden for a facelift and wanted to start with something less invasive - a chance to build trust I guess. After 2 syringes of Restylane so artfully injected I look at least 5 years younger, I will never again have someone less qualified than a cosmetic surgeon injecting anything into my face. As for the facelift, I was committed to having the work performed in Chicago but now know I can stay here in Phoenix and recuperate in my own bedroom instead of a hotel. The only problem...Dr. Holden produced such great results with Restylane, I'm not sure I need a facelift yet. Sorry doc!"

"Amazing - Dr. Holden is Amazing extremely kind, caring, and intelligent. I consulted with him initially for revision of a previous face lift as well as a couple of additional facial procedures. During my consult process I developed an exacerbation of an extremely rare complication from my previous facial rejuvenation. Dr. Holden is now treating me for this. My husband and I have instilled our faith and confidence in him to get me through this CRISIS and beyond to any future procedures I have. He definitely gives you his time and his ear. In addition he has an artistic eye I've seen his before and after photos. Great office staff as well Jennifer and Candace. Take my advice see Dr. Holden. I wish I had seen him MUCH sooner."

"Could not have been happier - I started looking into facial rejuvenation 6 months ago and chose Dr Holden. During the initial consultation I could tell Dr. Holden was listening to me and cared which was not as apparent during the previous 3 doctors I had consulted. I have been extremely happy with the results which have given me back the more youthful face I was looking for. My wrinkles and fine lines are greatly diminished and the brown spots which greatly aged my face are gone. Dr. Holden and his staff are a pleasure to deal with in all respects. I could not be happier. Thank you!"

"Worth the Wait-Takes Longer to Go into Effect than Dysport - Scottsdale, AZ - Was going to a nurse practioner which was alright but then I met Dr. Holden. His specialized and very extensive knowledge of the facial muscles proved to give me much more precise and accurate injections. Never have any unwanted muscle movements after he injects me (which I have had happen to me in the past). Besides that, he is just a great and caring doctor. With him, your face is in excellent hands!"

"I have had multiple procedures done with Dr. Holden throughout the last year: blepharoplasties, laser resurfacing, botox, fillers...I think that the negative comments on Dr. Holden are laughable because he is one of the best doctors that I have visited in Scottsdale. I have consulted with many and some just seem like robots, you can tell they are not really enjoying their work. You have no idea what a REALLY bad doctor is like: I have one that always has a 45 min to 2 hour wait and he is almost completely inaccessible, doesn't have to time to listen or care(he had to redo my surgery bc he didn't follow directions)-and all that with about 6 staff there running around uselessly! I have found that many offices with a lot of staff=less personal attention as you seem to spend more time with these 20 year old "patient consultants" than the doctor and you just become another case number. Unfortuneately for the rest of my body, Dr. Holden only specializes in above the neck so I have to have another doctor for other things. Although I know that he would have done a better job then my other plastic surgeon who has over 15 years experience! Dr. Holden is quite the opposite of this other doctor I mentioned with his quality over quantity attitude. And he actually cares about you and doesn't overbook himself and takes his time with his patients. You can tell by his attentiveness and optimistic attitude that he does what he does to help people in a positive way and that he is passionate about what he does. He is knowledgeable with any questions you may have and he is a very caring surgeon with a supportive and always encouraging attitude that as a healing patient you really need from your doctor. He has the highly detailed artistic skills(not all doctors have it!) combined with his vast knowledge of the technical aspects that make him an excellent plastic surgeon. Dr. Holden never hesitates to address any emergencies or concerns and I will continue to go to him for years to come as I age gracefully-with his help:)"

"I have been nurse for...a long time (decades) and have worked with many doctors. I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Holden. He is one of the best I have had the pleasure to meet. His bedside manner, attention to detail, and how he listens! He did a neck and face lift on me and I just love to show it off to my friends. My scars are invisible and I look easily 20 years younger. I think two of my friends are already signed up to do the same. I feel very lucky that my dermatologist recommended Dr. Holden to me...he truly is a gem! Thanks Doc!"

"simply the best! - Scottsdale, AZ - Best choice for a rhinoplasty. Getting my nose done by Dr. Holden was the best decision I've ever made for myself! He took two hours during my initial consult, and I later came back for a second consult where he answered more of my questions and was very patient. I had worries that I'd end up with a ski-jump or pug nose. He took the time to explain why some rhinoplasties turn out that way, and the techniques he would use to avoid such results. I hated that my nose would pull down when I'd smile, and he explained to me the mechanics of why that happens and what measures could be taken to correct it. He thoroughly prepared me for every step of the procedure and my results are natural, and look just like the digital imaging. Extremely helpful throughout. On the third day my facial swelling was significant, popping my cast off a little bit. I texted him asking about it, and he suggested I come into the office, and he saw me immediately, re-applying the cast and sending me on my way. I can't emphasize enough what an amazing job he did! Please do yourself a favor and go to the best, you wont regret it one bit!"

"Patient of Dr Holdens Services - Hi I just recently has a septoplasty that was quite necessary with a fractured septum in need of repair. I was very anxious and after calling all the ear nose & throat specialists my insurance accepted, I was happiest and most at ease in the hands of Dr Holden and his staff. Im quite surprised by the low review I read becuase its not even true just having been his patient and having my surgery successfully completed by him. I am not sure why this person felt so insecure, but I went to much older ent specialsist who did not listen to me, did not make me feel like a patient in good hands. The other Dr's offices I went to were out of date just like the Dinosaurs themselves were. I am 32 years old, and I am happy to have a Dr with newest techonoly - he had more than one staff especially on days where hedoes operations and not just post ops or consults. This is very normal, its not a family dr office with a waiting room full of ill patients and you need 5 PA's. Its sad that someone can write such a negative review for such a silly untrue reason. As a very happy post op patient, I cannot recoomend such a fantastic dr enough. He deserves all the success and reviews about him for all his efforts and hard work. He is truly a unique and great caring Dr."

"Leagues above the rest! - I recently had the opportunity to have Dr. Holden assist me as I was in dire need w serious breathing issues. I called the office of 5 top rated ent specialists and Dr. Holden was leagues above the rest. He really took the time and explained all options answered all of my questions. Having a docter operate on you is very critical decision. I could not be more pleased w this Dr. He is the kindest and most professional in his field and did better in my surgery than I could have dreamed."
