Patient Testimonials
As an operating room nurse, I knew the quality of Dr. Hold's work so when I decided to consider a blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing I knew who to go to. I am very happy with the final results after the procedures. I always looked "tired" before with my sagging upper lids and bags under my eyes. The laser resurfacing really made a difference in my skin complextion and I feel I look healthier and it smoothed away a lot of fine winkles especially around my eyes. The blepharoplasty and facial fat transfer were painless... Dr. Holds and his staff are great. Would I do this again. Yes! I just wish I would have done this sooner.

Two years ago Dr. John Holds performed a blepharoplasty or eye lift procedure on my eyes. I researched many doctors in the St. Louis region and felt Dr. Holds was the best doctor for my situation. Dr. Holds and his staff performed the procedure in his suite, and I had the best possible care from preparing me for the surgery, during the surgery as well as continued follow-up care. The staff is professional, kind and courteous. I could not have had better care. I am delighted with the results! My only regret is that I did not do it sooner!
