Signature Procedures

Facelift (Deep Plane and Extended SMAS)

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: A facelift repositions and tightens the deeper structural layers of the face and neck to restore a naturally youthful appearance.
  • Why this provider is notable: Dr. Holley performs both the extended SMAS and the deep plane facelift, selecting by anatomy and defaulting to the deep plane when appropriate. He trained under Dr. James M. Stuzin, who authored the foundational extended SMAS papers, uses VECTRA 3D imaging to plan results, and has performed more than 1,000 facelifts.

Deep Neck Contouring

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: Deep neck contouring addresses the structures beneath the neck muscle that a standard facelift cannot reach, defining the neckline.
  • Why this provider is notable: He performs deep neck work routinely with his facelifts, individualizing whether to trim the submandibular glands, remove deep neck fat, or address the digastric muscle based on anatomy. He pe pursues ongoing deep neck training with Dr. Jerry O’Daniel and has performed more than 200 procedures in the last five years.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: Eyelid surgery refreshes the upper and lower eyelids by addressing excess skin, muscle, and fat.
  • Why this provider is notable: With approximately 2,000 eyelid procedures and a lid-reconstruction background, Dr. Holley uses a transconjunctival, muscle-preserving lower-lid approach and releases the retaining ligament with fat grafting to blend the lid-cheek junction, treating the cause of a prominent lower lid rather than only its surface.

Brow Lift

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: A brow lift raises the position of the brow to open and refresh the upper face.
  • Why this provider is notable: Across more than 1,000 brow lifts, Dr. Holley typically uses an endoscopic-assisted approach and fixes the lifted brow with a bone-tunnel technique he finds more predictable and longer-lasting than endotines or screw posts, adjusting intraoperatively when anatomy calls for a stronger lift.

Breast Augmentation

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape with implants.
  • Why this provider is notable: With more than 2,000 breast augmentations, Dr. Holley places implants primarily through the inframammary crease, having moved away from the periareolar approach after data showed higher capsular-contracture rates, and uses VECTRA 3D imaging to size implants to the patient’s frame and counsel toward proportionate results.

Breast Revision and Augmentation Mastopexy

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: Breast revision combines implant exchange or removal with a lift, manipulating the implant, scar capsule, and breast tissue at once and placing the blood supply to the nipple at risk.
  • Why this provider is notable: With more than 2,000 augmentation mastopexies, Dr. Holley takes on high-risk implant-exchange-and-lift cases, staging surgery when doing it all at once would endanger the nipple’s blood supply, and uses GalaFLEX internal-bra support to extend a lift’s longevity for post-weight-loss patients.

Tummy Tuck

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall to restore a flatter, firmer midsection.
  • Why this provider is notable: Across more than 2,000 tummy tucks, patients seek Dr. Holley for his natural-looking belly-button technique. He performs muscle repair in more than 90 percent of cases, shapes the mons pubis for a smooth transition, and brings extensive post-weight-loss body-contouring experience.
  • Canonical URL: https://www.wmips.com/plastic-surgery/body-procedures/tummy-tuck/

Mommy Makeover

  • Focus level: Expert
  • What it is: A mommy makeover is a coordinated set of breast and body procedures performed together in a single operation.
  • Why this provider is notable: With more than 1,000 mommy makeovers, Dr. Holley combines breast and body expertise into one individually planned operation. He safely executes five-to-six-hour combined cases with an experienced anesthesia team and uses a TAP block with EXPAREL to manage pain and support same-day discharge.
