Sarah W. Holland, MD

I love Dr. Holland and her team! Dr. Holland and her staff are so lovely and they truly care about their patients! They listen and want the best for you. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I feel right at home. I know every time I step into HPS, I know that I'm in good hands. Her entire staff goes above and beyond to help. They are the best in the state of Maine in my opinion! I've been coming in for Laser Genesis treatments to help with my skin issues. I've been seeing Dr. Hollands aesthetician Hope and she's absolutely amazing and has transformed my complexion!! I'm so grateful for her! I always look forward to coming in and getting my facial treatments with Hope! Thank you HPS team!

Dr. Holland and her staff were incredibly easy to work with and listened openly to all of my concerns. I absolutely love my results and can’t recommend her office enough. They were extremely professional and attentive to my questions even after my procedure. Thank you Dr.Holland and team for truly life changing results!

After I had my second child, I was overwhelmed with how much my body had changed. I made the decision to go through with a breast augmentation and Dr Holland was the first doctor I met with. Her office made me feel welcome and was easily reachable for questions. Dr. Holland was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I am so happy with the results. She did an amazing job & made me feel so supported after. I appreciate all of her hard work! She is wonderful!

This will be my 3rd procedure with Dr Holland . I returned to her when my 16 year old Saline implant from another doctor ruptured and I needed to replace them . Dr . Holland also did a tummy tuck and labiaplasty with thermi-Va for me in the past. She is thorough , honest and skilled . I'm so so happy with the results of my surgeries, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cosmetic surgery. Being a woman she is understanding and straight forward with the facts of the case and the expected outcome . 10/10

I am so happy that I chose to have Dr. Holland to perform my breast reduction. This is my second breast reduction (the first was with another surgeon) and even with the extra scar tissue to deal with, the results are even better than the first time. Dr. Holland is kind and patient and laid back. She is confident at what she does and for good reason! In the waiting room the only thing you see and hear are happy employees and patients moving about the office. I would highly recommend Dr. Holland for any procedure she provides! The other thing I loved to see in some of her patient’s post-op photos online is that she performs breast reductions not only for thin people but also people of size, which is so uncommon in this field! Such a nice feeling to know that she treats patients for what they have come in for and not something they haven’t, without any opinion or bias. Lovely experience!

From consultation to surgery, Dr.Holland and staff have been beyond helpful. The consultation was comfortable and she went out of her way to truly understand what I wanted from the surgery. Once I had explained, she gave a. A range she believed would fit the outcome I was looking for. She was very o formational and willing to be a resource throughout the process. Once we got to pre-op we finalized size and details and her team set me up for success for what to expect during the surgery. Day of surgery, the outpatient center nurses and staff made me feel comfortable, even though during Covid I could not have a visitor, they made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Holland came in before to make sure all questions were answered and after to check to make sure I was happy with the result. Could not recommend a better surgeon or team!

I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction/lift 3 months ago. I have only good things to say about the entire experience. Dr Holland is very nice, as is her staff. But most importantly she is very skilled at what she does. I am so happy to have found her.The surgery went well. The hospital staff were nice. I didn't experience a lot of discomfort as I was provided with an assortment of pain meds. The only time I actually felt pain was when the drains were removed from my belly - that hurt! I would recommend pre-medicating for that one.I love, love, love my small boobs! It feels so good to be free of all that weight and to be able to wear cute little bras. My belly is so flat! I never thought I would see that, after two enormous babies and immense weight gain, then loss. I can wear jeans again after years of stretchy pants.My scars are healing very well. I think the tummy tuck scar will be barely noticeable. The ones under my breasts are more pronounced - time will tell. I will post some pictures after my final follow up visit.

I am a 45 year old Mom, for stats, 5’7”, 138lbs. I have 3 beautiful kids who were large babies. The first was 10.7 pounds and the second batch were twins who weighed 15 pounds together. Before babies I was 125 lbs and was always thin. A few weeks before I had the twins I was 200 pounds and the doctor said I measured at 52 weeks, woo hoo! These kids are the best thing that happened to me but I was left looking permanently pregnant and with back pain and a big gap between my muscles, diastasis, that would not improve even with PT.I also had an umbilical hernia after my first, which was repaired. The thing that bothered me most was the feeling like my guts were falling out. Don’t know the proper medical term for that but it is not a good feeling and I forever felt like I was going to rip something or knock something loose in there. My twins are crazy as well and are prone to punching and sneak-attacking me at all hours.When they would punch me I felt like it was a blow to the inner core of my being, ha! Hard to explain. Onward to the decision to proceed. I don’t know how I made it over the hump of obsessive researching, reading, thinking, anxiety, worrying for years - to the appointment making. Somehow I did it. To the last moment I was hemming and hawing (is that a word?) but figured I am healthy and I am only getting older so I went for it.Another piece is that I lost 20 pounds during Covid and although that made me feel much better, it made me look a few more months pregnant. So fast forward to today, thank the universe the surgery went well, no issues to date except a bit of bleeding from the incision a few days after.I am so glad it’s done! It’s painful when laughing, sneezing, coughing, and I have to lay down to relieve the pressure of the binder during the day, but I am very happy with my luck so far. I am not crazy for my belly button but hey I’m not a Barbie and the dr said I had nothing left, the umbilical stalk was not attached to anything so she had to make the BB from scratch. Maybe it will improve with time. Thanks for reading and good luck and feel free to ask questions if you have any. Updated on 2 Mar 2021: Yay! Everything going smooth. Had my 2 week post op yesterday. Dr gave the ok to start massaging everything with coconut oil daily. Still wearing the binder 24/7 and icing with my amazing TheraPearl ice pack that I have fallen in love with. No complaints except that I have to return to work tomorrow (ugh!!!). Can’t believe I was so frightened of this surgery for literally years and I have been so lucky, all is well. Updated on 4 Mar 2021: Phew! I have a stressful desk job and had to return yesterday to work ( from home). I survived. I haven’t sat upright in a chair for 8 hours for the past 2 weeks. Seems like it would be easy but this binder is a killer. Lots of vitamin c powder, green tea and water, oh and my icy love, TheraPearl. Got some stretchy pants in the mail because I fear putting on pants with a zipper and button when I have to go into the actual office Monday. I will attach a pic. I’m not a model but omg I am happy that my tummy is no longer bigger than my boobs. Woo hoo! Lol. Updated on 7 Mar 2021: Hello. Yesterday was rough. I don’t know why in particular but I felt so teary, sore and exhausted, I just couldn’t cope. Part of it is probably pms and also so much stuff to do around the house and I can barely do a thing and still can’t lift over 5 lbs. I realized maybe I need to eat more so I will try that today. I think the binder makes me feel stuffed all the time because there’s no room to expand. Or maybe it’s my muscles being repaired, I don’t know. But I feel full always. And probably my body needs food to heal. My family has been great through this but I just need a break from everyone. A day where I can lie around and be miserable if I need to, without affecting anyone else. Today is a new day. Hopefully I won’t be as sore and exhausted. Like I read so much on here, healing is different for everyone and there are stages to it. Maybe I am in a rough stage. I wish happy healing to you all! Thanks for listening to me vent. Updated on 17 Mar 2021: 4 weeks, hard to believe. I obsessively read reviews on here and worried for years and now in the blink of an eye I have my old tummy back. Not my old BB but I can deal with the new one. I have read if you are slim that it can be hard to make an innie BB if doc has to make one from scratch, which mine did. Has anyone heard this before? Not much change since last update. Sore and burning pains here and there and still can’t stand 100% straight up so I look hunchy. My binder rubs/ is tight against my hip bones and incision and that doesn’t feel good. Still wearing the binder 24/7, ugh! But can’t go without it or I just don’t feel right. Look forward to buying new clothes without having to hide the pregnant belly look. Omg maybe I could wear a dress again! Still worn out and would like more time to relax. Missing walking and biking for exercise but that will be a possibility soon enough. Belly button is still weird. Flat. But I will get used to it. I feel so grateful that I was able to have this done. I was so worried about every under the sun. The two docs I met with said I didn’t need Lipo but so many people have it as part of the TT. I was worried about not having it but I guess I’m ok without it. I think I had more skin than fat to remove, not sure if that’s why I didn’t need it. Feel down some days and my mind wants to start picking at every other imperfection I have but I try to stay in grateful mode and appreciate that we are all different and each have our own beauty. Please ask any questions if you have them. Thanks to all of you who I have gained support from just by reading your reviews! Updated on 11 Apr 2021: Hello. I am doing well physically. Still sore and abdomen is sensitive but not terrible. Swelling but not bad. At last PO appointment about 2 weeks ago the doctor told me to wean off the binder. I have been doing that. It was very uncomfortable at first not to have it on but I’m slowly easing into it. I have been wearing some compression tanks and that seems to help. Having a bit of a mental challenge. It’s always been an issue for me, that of comparing myself to others. I told myself before the surgery but I just wanted to be my old self and not compare myself to other people.Now that it’s over I notice I’m starting to compare myself to other people again. So I’m working on that. It helps to look at my preop pictures and remember how far I’ve come. And comparing yourself to others is never a good idea. We’re all different.. So that’s it for now I suppose oh yeah Dr. has me using bio corneum. Which is kind of a weird texture and feels like plastic and has kind of toxic stuff in it but I’m just doing what she says. I think it was $120 but it comes Included in the surgery. I prefer coconut oil but I’m doing what she says. Ask any questions if you have any. Good luck everybody. Ps I had fun trying old my old clothes today when the kids would leave me alone for 5 seconds. I tried on my first dress post surgery, woo hoo! And I. Don’t. Look. Pregnant. Amazing!

Today was a good day. My husband and I got to the hospital at 6am and went through all the preparations with the nurses and got my IV. Dr. Holland came in and marked me all up then I was wheeled into surgery at 7:30. Seemed like it was only a second but I woke up in recovery around 10 with some significant pain. They quickly gave me some pain meds and nausea meds and I was feeling pretty good by 11 and they wheeled me into the final recovery area where my husband could join me. We hung out there for awhile so I could drink and eat a little snack then we headed home around 12:30. Had some noodles when I got home and have been on and off napping this afternoon in my recliner. Overall, I am feeling the way I expected to feel. I'm kind of surprised the incision doesn't hurt at all but it does feel like I've done a million sit ups. It is difficult to not be able to get up and care for the kids and pets but I wouldn't be very helpful right now anyway. Haha. Hoping to get some sleep tonight. I don't think I'll get to peek at the results till Friday when I go in for my follow up but I feel like half of my belly is gone just looking down at the binder. Hoping for a smooth couple of days ahead, but so far so good.

About fifteen years ago (at age fifty) I had full tummy tuck. After three pregnancies I wanted to look good in a two piece swimsuit. I ended up with a flat stomach, but also a tiny, off-center navel, a too high horizontal scar, and even worse, a weird perpendicular scar from the navel down to the main scar with little "pooches of fat" on either side. After that, it was tankinis and one piecers for me. What a waste! Six years ago, I met my new plastic surgeon, Dr. Sarah Holland, when I needed breast reconstruction surgery after a cancer diagnosis. She is an immensely talented plastic surgeon with a terrific staff. She stays current with all the newest procedures, shares her expertise with webinars, and offers good advice and wonderful aesthetics. She is a genuinely nice person and also someone you can put your trust in. When she told me she could fix the old TT I believed her. But the results of my revision were better than I could ever have imagined. She gave me a nice, believable navel; a lower, pencil thin side to side scar; and best of all, she totally eliminated that awful perpendicular scar. I am still amazed at what a fantastic job she did for me. I'm wearing bikinis now.
