"So Natural That No One Knew I Had Surgery."

I had a facelift with Dr. Holden on November 14, and by Thanksgiving no one knew I had anything done — which, to me, says everything. What made the experience so exceptional was how thoughtful and comprehensive the care felt, not just the surgery itself. I felt informed, supported, and confident at every step of the process. I spent time preparing my skin beforehand through the Scottsdale Skin Center, and I truly believe that made a meaningful difference in both my healing and

71, lower facelift & fat injections, best facial plastic surgeon in Scottsdale

Moving to Prescott in 2018 marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Over the years, I explored various non-surgical treatments to address signs of aging. However, I eventually recognized that certain changes—like facial sagging, collagen loss, and a drooping neck—could only be effectively treated through surgery. Trust is crucial in any surgical procedure, and it becomes even more vital with elective ones. I knew I needed a facial specialist who truly understood the complexities

I’m still healing, but I love what I see so far

Surgery is such a big thing and can have such an incredible impact and to put my experience and appreciation for Dr. Holden and his team into a short review is difficult. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m still healing, but I love what I see so far and can’t wait until the final results of Dr. Holden’s work to shine. Dr. Holden is beyond incredible. I can’t praise him enough. He is kind, compassionate, and obviously extremely knowledgeable and talented. Every

Dr Holden is Hands down the best facial surgeon in the Western Hemisphere. I’m not even close to exaggerating. My botched story happen 15 years ago in a Chandler Arizona.

A reasonable price for a good plastic surgeon with a caveat

Let me start by saying that the price was very reasonable and that Dr. Holden comes highly recommended. His practice is what we lawyers would call a "mill." Get em in, get em out. After my initial consult, I did not see the doctor until nearly a year later due to the wait list. I thought I was getting a neck lift which I later learned was a FL. That said, I was not prepared mentally or emotionally for a major surgery like this. He saw me the day following the surgery and gave

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
