Reviews for Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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..."
"Facelift at 62 So Worth It! - I'm 62 and I've had a weak jawline all of my life. I've wanted a lower facelift for decades. I hated my profile. I worked really hard to take pictures to hide that, but it's all I ever saw. I never wore turtlenecks, or draping fabric around my neck, or choker necklaces because I thought it emphasized the least favorite part of my face. I've done fillers and botox for at least 10 years, and..."
"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..."
"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..."
"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..."
"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..."
"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."
"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..."
"Best. Experience. EVER. - Let me start by saying: OH MY GOODNESS! If you're reading this review, you're most likely in the exact same spot as I was in a few weeks ago; spending countless hours scouring the internet reading reviews to find the best surgeon to perform your rhinoplasty. So, I sincerely hope my review helps you on your search. :) Little bit of history on me, I was called "bird" throughout high school..."
"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..."
"I love my nose, and I can breath. - It’s been less than 2 months since my surgery and I’m writing to say thank you. The outcome for me is perfection! I had no idea that my results would be so perfect. I waited 44 years for these results and am so thankful for you, and your staff. You have amazing clinical skills like no other, and I trusted you with my face and my life. I don’t think there is any surgeon as gifted and talen..."
"You don't need to search anymore you've come to the right place - I donno where to start.. such an amazing experience with a very talented doctor ive always wished to change the look of my nose but i was afraid doctor holden gave me a free consultation where he spent a decent time listening to my needs and concerns he made two before an after picture so i can decide which one i like moreHis staff are so experienced alex was amazing she helped through the..."
"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..."
"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..."
"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..."

"Great Experience - I received a rhinoplasty from Dr. Holden at the end of May and was immediately satisfied with the results and only love my nose more and more every day. Not only does he do great work with a practicably unnoticeable scar (I have to point out to people who know I had it done where the stitching was), but he is 100% there for his patients. You are able to call him night and day and he definitely..."

"Breast Reduction - Scottsdale, AZ - Breasts too large, constant back pain. Unhappy with body image. 60 year old female with active lifestyle. The surgery allowed me to feel better about myself as well as give me a better overall appearance. I don't regret the decision. The entire staff was very attentive to my needs. I would recommend him to everyone"
"Loved my tummy tuck - I got a full tummy tuck and lipo with Dr. T back in 2015. I loved my results! He truly took the time to answer my question, I never felt rushed or stupid for asking a question. I Totally trusted him and he really did a great job. Amazing doctor!"
"Got a model bikini body from Dr. T - I had a full tummy tuck in 2013. At first I wasn't sure if I was a candidate, but Tsujimura's bedside manner was such a selling point for me to get this procedure. He is competent, easy to talk to, attentive, and confident. He never made me feel like he was rushing me out the door. What I loved most was that he seemed genuinely excited to do my tummy tuck and the results he thought he could..."
"He gave me exactly what I was wanting - Scottsdale, AZ - I have wanted to get a breast augmentation for quite sometime but was apprehensive, I'm so happy I was referred to Dr.Tsujimura. He was very professional and attentive. I went in to him being very nervous and particular with what I wanted and expected. He gave me his professional and expert option on what I needed exactly for the look I was going for. He listen to my wants and concerns. He in..."
"42 Yr Old - Amazing Breast Augmentation Experience - Scottsdale, AZ - I am 5'9", 125lbs, and I was a 34A preop. I was excited to proceed with breast augmentation to give myself some fullness. I did not want huge breasts, and I wanted a size that was natural looking for my small frame. I am a professional, and was concerned when other surgeons would push me to go larger than I was comfortable with, despite my cautions. Dr Tsujimura listened to me- really listened- and we agreed on a plan I was excited about, and now the results are perfect for me!"
"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."
"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 wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Dr. Holden, in fact I already have. - Dr. Holden is outstanding, his sincere and easy going client driven bedside manner made it easy to focus on what the best form of treatment for me was going to be. Best of all, the results of my full facelift, eye lift and skin laser treatment exceeded my expectations as I look very naturally ten years younger, that's all you can hope for. Thank you Dr. Holden!"
"hands of an angel - Absolutely love his work! I had rhinoplasty done and Dr. Holden did an amazing job! He made me feel very comfortable and my recovery was only one week with absolutely no pain at all, he has the hands of an angel"
"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"

"22, Female, Ugly Nose - Scottsdale, AZ - He is super friendly, and everyone in the office is so sweet!"
"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."
"42 Yr Old - Amazing Breast Augmentation Experience - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr Tsujimura was the perfect choice for my breast augmentation. I trusted him immediately. He was kind, respectful, and gave me very honest feedback to my questions. I wanted silicone implants, somewhere in the 250-300cc range, under the muscle, with transaxillary placement. He discussed the pros and cons of implant types, incision location, implant placement, and implant size/profile. We agreed on a plan, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Even though I am only a week out from surgery, they look natural, symmetric, and appropriately sized for my small frame. I did not have any numbness on my inner arm or chest wall, which can happen with the transaxillary approach. I had almost no bruising either, just a little around the incisions. Pain was very minimal. He was very caring and involved during my postop visits as well, and made me feel very comfortable during my recovery. I am so grateful that Dr Tsujimura was my surgeon! I would recommend him to anyone!Also, his office staff and surgery staff are amazing- they make you feel appreciated, important, and they are all so kind and helpful! They made the experience even that much better!"

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."

"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!"
"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."

"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."
"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."
"Tummy Tuck of the Century!!! - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. Tsujimura is handsome, charming, funny, honest, professional,thorough, skilled,trustworthy,patient,excellent,and simply the best!"
"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."
"Amazing Surgeon - Phoenix, AZ - I was recommended to visit Dr. Tsujimura from a friend who had selected him for her breast augmentation. I am so very glad that I selected him as well. He's very courteous, with amazing bed side manner. He takes his time to answer any questions you may have. Not only is he amazing but so are his nurses and staff. He takes the time to listen to and answer questions and concerns. My surgery went great, I have had no bruising so far! I also experienced hardly any actual physical pain from the surgery. There was discomfort post surgery, but it was manageable. My breasts look amazing already from only being a week post surgery, and I'm very excited to see how they look once they settle! He makes you feel comfortable, and his results are amazing."

"Amazing rhinoplasty - Dr. Holden in AZ - Dr. Holden is a perfectionist with his work. He is also nice, funny, professional, comforting, and cares about his patients. He does an amazing job on every person I see walk out of his office and an amazing job on my nose. :)"
"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."
"I Know It Won't Last Forever..but How Long Does It REALLY Last? - Scottsdale, AZ - I have been using Juvederm and Perlane for various areas for the past few years. I heard the Radiesse lasts much longer (supposedly a year?) bc it is a different kind of filler so I am wanting to try in in a few spots - nasolabial area, upper cheek bones, and possibly in an area of my chin that is asymmetrical due to an old injury from blunt force trauma. The tip of my nose would be great too but not sure if the provider does that area. I was told that bruising is more common with this filler but we will see. I typically only bruise in the lip area as it is so sensitive so hopefully won't have any issues."
"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!"
"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!"
"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!!"
"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!"
"Thicker and Lasts Longer Than Juvederm Ultra Plus - Scottsdale, AZ - He is a personable and skilled doctor (he did my blepharoplasties, you can read that review for more reasons why I think so highly of him), takes his time and always wants to make his patients happy. Great bedside manner and very accessible if you have questions. Great artistic eye with fillers and the other procedures he offers. When I get the courage to get a rhinoplasty, I will hopefully have him do it!"
"Best Surgeon for Facelifts! Belle of my 40th Reunion! - Scottsdale, AZ - Caring Doctor, Exceptionally gifted surgeon, wonderful experience overall!"
"Ears Pinned, Even and Natural - Confident and Exceptional Surgeon - Scottsdale, AZ - I was treated with respect and care and given excellent surgery for an embarrassing problem I'd had for my life. Dr. H showed significant insight on my otoplasty surgery and gave me a lot of his time. I had high expectations and now can confidently say he has exceeded them all. Not only was the procedure performed in-office but it was relatively pain -free. This is based on years of asking others, "how'd it go?" I am impressed that my ears look so natural, not pinched at the top or one ear flipped out more than the other. He was even able to do some tricks to make the ear smaller. Now I have ears that are unremarkable to others but I can't stop admiring them! As I tell all my friends, why risk something like fixing something you hate about your ears (or face). Dr. H is the best!"
"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!"
"Fixed my Nose - Finally! - Scottsdale, AZ - Dr. H was there for me. This truly is his specialty and I am so thankful I found him. If you need a nose job please don't waste your money like I did, go straight to Dr H. I look so much more natural now and am so happy. I know the best of the best and went to 2 well-known Scottsdale doctors and not only did I suffer tremendously but I wasted so much money with bad results. I can personally testify to the success of his revision rhinoplasty on me. He seems to have a very aesthetic eye for a balanced, natural face. I am so thankful that he has helped me. He has a very nice office and my recovery was much shorter then the prior surgeries. Again I am so thankful and have spent years researching getting a revision rhinoplasty to fix my previous surgery. The only thing is that he is way far away from my home town but the trip was so worth it to me."
"Passion for Perfection= Beautiful Results - Scottsdale, AZ - After visiting Dr. H for the first time, I knew he was the surgeon I wanted to use for a nose job. His kind personality and the time he takes to explain the procedure and answer questions far exceeded any doctor (and other plastic surgeons) I have ever visited. My parents were paying and were very particular so I went through alot of consults with different surgeons. He, by far, put the both us at ease the most. I am 3 months post-op and the results are better than I could have ever hoped for. My parents are super happy too. He far exceeded my expectations, natural but perfect. When I look for someone to provide a service for me or to learn something from someone, I look for someone who is passionate about what they do. Dr. H’s passion translates into excellent results."
"Rhinoplasty - Highly Recommend - Scottsdale, AZ - I went to Dr. H because he is board certified and an specializes in rhinoplasty."
"Facelift on Me Brought Me to Tears of JOY! - Scottsdale - I always love to give kudos when appropriate and Dr. H is a surgeon deserving of the highest praise! My facelift was so easy and the recovery so quick. The results brought me to tears!!! Ive never looked back on the decision to have Dr H do my facelift!"
