“I had droopy eyelids that prevented peripheral vision in driving.”
Dr. Holds was recommended and I was out of work for 7-10 days. Very pleased with progress and I would recommend Dr. Holds to anyone that needs a blepharoplasty. I thank Dr. Holds and staff for kindness and compassion and I would pray for all of them every day.

“Outstanding Experience!!!”
I could not be happier with the results of my eyelid procedure. And equally, I can't speak highly enough about the office and staff. From consultation, to procedure, to follow ups, everyone has been so kind and professional. I chose Dr. Holds because eyes are his specialty and I could rest easy knowing his particular expertise. Dr. Holds has a great demeanor and I knew I would be in good hands. SO HAPPY with results!

“Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty, Eyebrow Lift and Filler”
I spent four years researching the blepharoplasty options in St. Louis and after having the surgeries with Dr. John Holds, I could not be happier with results and the service.
