Beautiful Natural-Looking Results

Dr. Holcomb performed a facelift and facial lasering on me when I was 50. It was transformative with beautiful results. I was thrilled! It is 16 years later, and he performed a lower face and neck lift seven weeks ago. It's perfect, and I am so happy! First, I quickly recovered, but it's so natural-looking. I look like me with a contoured jawline and a lifted neck. I feel more confident with my appearance.

Otoplasty success, made the procedure so easy & not stressful

I have always been uncomfortable with my ears. I have never wanted to wear my hair up. We found Dr. Holcomb and immediately felt so comfortable with him. He and his staff made the procedure so easy and it was not stressful. I am so happy with my results. I feel more confident and am so thankful for Dr. Holcomb.

My results were exactly what Dr. Holcomb and I discussed

I got a Rhinoplasty done by Dr. Holcomb and I couldn’t be happier! My results were exactly what Dr. Holcomb and I discussed in the consultation. I was so happy to know that it was all worth it with no pain.

Lower Facelift

Age 38, lower face & neck lift, lower bleph - younger & more refreshed

I am a young facelift patient (38), but had loose skin around my neck and my lower face had lost a lot of volume due to a stressful few years and an autoimmune disease that resulted in my losing a lot of weight. Even as I got healthy, my face did not rebound! I tried everything from profound to C02, botox, fillers, and more, all of which helped, but I knew that to get the results I wanted I would have to have surgery. I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Holcomb in January which I am pretty happy with, I have some scar tissue on the left side but that's not his fault and a little steroid shot once every couple of months helps that! Anyway, I decided to invest in myself and do the lower face and lower bleph. I had had an upper bleph from another doctor in Beverly Hills, when I lived in LA. I knew that Dr. Holcomb did a lot of facelifts so I wasn't particularly worried, but I do have a daughter and a job so recovery was critical. Honestly, the experience was totally great. I look just like myself, just younger and more refreshed. I'm SO HAPPY with the way I look now. Shoutout to Dr. Holcomb and to his entire staff, Jackie, Pam, Morgan, Tina, Becki, Krissy, and anyone I am forgetting. I am currently almost 4 weeks out. I hope to post photos when I have more time. I know I really wanted to know about recovery, so I will say that the first night is bad, the first week is tough, and you will be more and more swollen every day for the first 5-6 days. Then everything turns around and by 2 weeks I could have gone back to work, but I had 3 weeks off which was nice. By 4 weeks I am back to my regular exercise routine (maybe a little less intensity) which includes jogging, yoga, and resistance training. I can't wait for my next facelift in 10 years lol! I will definitely go back to Dr. H.

Office review - very personable and caring

Dr Holcomb performed my surgery in May, and I have had nothing but the best of experiences. From the first call to the office to inquire about how to get the process going, to my follow up visit- my situation was handled with care and consideration. The Nurses, and office staff are all very personable and caring, and they take every moment they can to be helpful, answer questions and make you feel comfortable. I would Highly recommend Dr. Holcomb and the staff to anyone, and I went through several consultations with different practices and 10/10 chose the right one.

Almost 2 months post op - Definitely see a big difference

Looking at yourself in the mirror everyday it is sometimes hard to see the difference. This is why I decided to keep a photo journal of my experience. I am now almost 2 months since my surgery and I wanted to put a little photo collage from before surgery until today. Once I looked at the collage I definitely see a big difference. I am still bruised, swollen, and numb in certain areas but makeup covers it and I'm sure that'll go away in time. Dr Holcomb did a great job and I am very happy. I did a lot of research. He is double-board certified and these procedures aren't cheap. But when it comes to surgery on your face you should not be looking for the best deal, you're looking for the best doctor. I consider this a life event for me because I refinanced my house to give myself this 57th birthday present. It was definitely worth it.

I will never forget the day the cast came off! Utter shock!

Happy is an understatement. I have been unhappy with my nose since I can remember. 16 years old maybe? I am 28 now. I have been so scared that it would not turn out the way I have hoped and even more terrified for the amount of pain I would be in after. Dr. Holcomb walked me through every step and made sure I understood what I would experience (very minimal pain). I am amazed by the turnout and I will never forget the day the cast came off! Utter shock! His staff is also very kind, patient and thorough. Not only was my rhinoplasty cosmetic, but Dr. Holcomb was able to improve my quality of breathing. That's a new feeling! Beyond thrilled to have found Dr. Holcomb. No matter how many times someone tells you you're beautiful, it doesn't matter until you feel it from within. Thank you for changing my life.

My overall experience with Dr. Holcomb and his team has been wonderful. At no point in time did I feel like the office or Dr. Holcomb wasn’t accessible. My results are just outstanding, I absolutely love how I look. I haven’t had any anticipation about anything- its been a great experience. All my questions were answered in a timely manner. My recovery was great, my pain was minimal- in 2 days I was feeling great.

Finally! What I’ve Always Wanted!

Wonderful experience! I should have done this years ago. For once in my life, I feel confident about my appearance. My new nose fits my face perfectly. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend Dr. Holcomb to everyone I know! Thank you!
