A Note from the Desk of Dr. Scott Holley

I see you.

I've worked with hundreds of patients who felt exactly the way you do right now. You've been thinking about this for months, maybe years. You catch your reflection in a store window or see yourself on a Zoom call and barely recognize the tired, aged face looking back at you.

You've tried the fillers, the Botox, the skincare routines. You've researched non-surgical options hoping for a miracle. But deep down, you know that true skin laxity and facial sagging require a real solution.

Here's what I want you to know: wanting to look as vibrant as you feel isn't vain. It's human. And you deserve to feel confident and aligned with who you truly are.

My commitment to you is simple. I won't push you into procedures you don't need. I won't promise unrealistic outcomes. I will listen to your concerns, show you what's genuinely achievable, and create a surgical plan designed specifically for your face and your goals.

The consultation is pressure-free, honest, and the first step toward finally loving what you see in the mirror again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I look like I've had a facelift?

No. The goal of modern facelift surgery is to create natural, refreshed results - not a pulled or overdone appearance. Dr. Holley's approach focuses on restoring youthful contours while preserving your unique facial characteristics and expressions.

How long is the recovery, and when can I return to work?

Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks wearing makeup to cover residual bruising. Initial swelling subsides within 10-14 days, though complete healing takes 3-6 months. Dr. Holley provides detailed recovery guidelines tailored to your lifestyle.

What's the difference between a traditional facelift and a deep plane facelift?

A deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial structures for more dramatic, longer-lasting results with a natural appearance. Dr. Holley will recommend the technique best suited to your anatomy and goals during your consultation.

Am I too old (or too young) for a facelift?

Age is less important than your specific concerns and overall health. Patients in their 40s may benefit from a mini facelift, while those in their 60s and 70s often achieve excellent results with traditional techniques. Dr. Holley evaluates each patient individually.

How long do facelift results last?

A well-performed facelift typically provides 10-15 years of improvement. While aging continues, you'll maintain a more youthful baseline than if you hadn't had surgery. Many patients find this one-time investment far more cost-effective than ongoing non-surgical treatments.

Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients combine facelifts with neck lifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Holley will design a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs and desired outcomes.

You've done the research. You've thought about this long enough. The only thing standing between you and finally loving your reflection again is one conversation. Dr. Holley's consultation is pressure-free, honest, and designed to give you clarity about whether a facelift is right for you. There's no obligation - just answers, realistic expectations, and a clear path forward. You deserve to feel confident and aligned with who you truly are. Let's make that happen.
