Overview

Revising a facelift surgery is more complex than performing the original surgery.  Dr. Paul Holden is trained to assess and correct the challenges of performing surgery on a previously operated patient.  Revision facelift surgery has complications that our experienced surgeon at Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons has diagnosed and addressed for many of his patients seeking improvement for facelift surgeries from other surgeons.  Scaring, uneven results, disappointing results, pixied earlobes (ear lobes attached to the jaw line), wide incision scars, weakened internal layers and, in general, dealing with another surgeons work  are all challenges that Dr. Holden can address and improve.  

Surgical Technique

There are various techniques used today to perform a facelift. Facial anatomy, skin laxity and the overall aesthetic goal of the patient will determine the best approach. The revision of a previous surgery has the additional complexities of scar tissue and adulterated tissue from the original surgery. Each procedure will be unique to the patient and will vary based on the type and location of the incision, the number of tissue layers affected, the plane of elevation and the level of invasiveness.

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.

During/After Surgery

All facelift procedures are performed under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) sedation at our surgical facility. The length of the surgery will vary, but a revision surgery generally takes between 4-6 hours. This surgery is considered an outpatient procedure. After surgery, patients will be bruised and swollen and the face and neck will feel tight. This will gradually improve within a few days. It is common for patients to feel anxious about how their face will appear. Most patients feel comfortable in social or work situations between 10 to 14 days after surgery, often with concealer makeup. Patients need to understand it can take several full months for the final results to appear.
