Best Surgeon in AZ for Facelift and Fat Grafting - Scottsdale, AZ

Sun damage, wrinkles and leather saggy skin....

Sun damage, wrinkles and leather saggy skin. Hollowed, baggy cheeks and eyes. Fear of bad plastic surgery!!

I am an Arizona native and my skin shows it.  My greatest fear is finding the wrong surgeon after the fact. I've seen too many bad scars, gobbler necks and gaunt-looking old women with smooth cheeks.  Dr. Holden discussed a facelift and eyelid surgery. His solution to the hollowed out look I hate was adding fat during my surgery to fill in that "look". Skeptical as I am, I needed pictures because I didnt want to look fat or bloated.

He brought out his big book of before and after pictures and I was sold. Four minths post surgery and fat injections and I have the smooth skin and neck I wanted with the "apples" back in my cheeks and no hollowed out temples or eyelids! I am so relieved that he was able to offer me cutting edge techniques I hadnt heard of at other offices to avoid the tell tale signs of facelift surgery I hate and get the look and results I wanted!

Great review?

I prefer that Dr. Holden doesn't prostetute his patients pictures online. I am a private person and it took a lot for me, as a man, to get up the courage to have the surgery. I had open access to his before and after binder. I guess not all people who get plastic surgery want to be identified on the internet. And as a correction: there are pictures posted.
I understand why clients of Dr. Holden do not post pics? i'm starting to wonder if he's writing these reviews himself/staff... the details of recovery are so vague and everything is so happy ending without any proof of the work done~ it's just ashamed because it defeats the purpose of writing a post on real self! no one customer of his has posted a before and after picture... very suspicious just saying!
I cannot speak for anyone's reviews but my own, but I most certainly do not work for Dr. Holden. I would never post my face on Real Self or any other site for all to view. If requested, I would be happy to provide pictures to a private email address. Since I haven't had a facelift yet - just injectables - I'm probably not the best resource for you. If you live in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, why not schedule a consultation with the Dr.? I believe it is free if you mention Real Self. I can assure you that it is a pressure free environment and you will be provided many before and after pictures to review during your consultation.
I am considering a facelift with Dr. Holden in January. I am impressed with your review. Would you mind sending a before/after picture to my private email?

Hi OcotilloG -- Welcome to RealSelf and thanks for posting your experience! I'm happy to hear your surgery went well.
