In researching my dates of contact with the office it has been 10 years…a decade of superb service and procedures that changed my life!!

In Nov. of 1999 as I entered my fifth decade of life ….my children were grown … my marriage was declining and I looked much more aged than I felt.I had begun a serious weight loss program and physical workout routine but this was not enough, maybe plastic surgery could help.  Being  a physician I rigorously checked the credentials of various plastic surgeons in town and by far DRs. Holderness and Bowers were the pinnacle of the pack!

My initial consult with Dr. Holderness was professional, caring and reassuring as we discussed a blepharoplasty (a bilateral procedure on the eyes to reduce the sagging tired look). The procedure was not a problem as every aspect was explained from preop to postop, including swelling bruising and how to manage same. The results were well worth it! With one procedure I looked (and felt) 10 years younger. I followed this with a Rhytidectomy (face lift) in April of 2000 and a breast lift in 2001. I was a new woman!

During this time Dr. Holderness and his staff encouraged me to contnue the weight loss program that I had begun, and his skin care consultants helped me maintain my new look.

Then in 2005 I needed a hysterectomy, and I consulted Dr Holderness again! This time I wanted to have an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) done at the same time as the hysterectomy and under the same anesthesia after Dr. Dickstein did her part. Again not a problem… Dr. Holderness’s office coordinated everything with the other physician  and Women’s Hospital.

In 2007 Drs. Holderness and Bowers worked together to perform a reverse abdominoplasty to remove and tighten skin from my waist up to under my breasts, since I had lost more weight. I have also had several minor procedures, a Blue peel,and  several Juvaderm injections.

This brief overview does not even begin to list all of their terrific staff of nurses and front office personnel who are your extended support group and genuinely interested in your care.

To be succinct…I can without reservation recommend North Carolina Plastic Surgery and their staff to anyone to needs the services of a plastic surgeon!!!

Sincerely, Dr. Susan
