90 day challenge winner
"I joined the 90 day challenge on a whim very last minute. I’ve never had a skin care routine and have had maybe 2 facials my entire life. I hit a milestone birthday this year and decided to take this challenge! I wasn’t sure about the process nor was I convinced it would make a difference!! And here I am the winner! Wow! I am so happy with my results and have even had several people comment on how good my skin looks! Brooke was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and barely flinched when I told her I washed my face with Dove soap! We spoke about each of the treatments and she answered my questions even before I needed to ask!
Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience. The entire staff is so welcoming and the office is very calming!! So thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward to my next visit! Cheers!"

Meet megan, o.
mini abdominoplasty patient
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be unapologetically yourself ♥️ I’ve wanted to have this done for years. I think the reason it took so long for it to happen is because I wouldn’t have appreciated it then as much as I do now.
Don’t get me wrong, I love this body in both pictures. I’ve accepted this body. I’ve put this body through a lot. It’s okay to love your body while simultaneously wanting to improve or change things about it.
I’m thankful for being able to push it everyday, to fuel it everyday and for the healthy home it provides for all of the pieces that make me Meg. I still have some healing to go but 2 weeks post-surgery and feeling stronger everyday 💪🏼 Here is your sign that if there is something you want to do for yourself, DO IT. ♥️
Thank you to Dr. Holland for working such magic! 😍❤️ Your team is amazing!”

90 day challenge skin fit winner
“My experience with Holland Plastic Surgery has been excellent. I signed up for the 90 Day Challenge and I’m very impressed with not only my results but with the care and attention I received from Brooke. She’s professional and personable, taking great care explaining everything she was doing and making sure I was comfortable. My skin has never looked better and I’ve received many unexpected complements from friends and family.
The entire Holland Plastic Surgery staff is friendly and knowledgeable, I received top notch service and I’m thrilled with my results! Thank you so much!”

meet eryka, s.
coolsculpting patient
“My whole life I've had 2 trouble areas on my stomach. It always made me insecure when wearing a 2 piece in the summer. It also made me insecure with tight or fitted tops. Even when I was in the best shape of my life, the trouble spots remained. I work full time & I'm a mother to a 4 year old, so downtime just isn't an option. Until I met with Katie for my consult, I had no idea that after your CoolSculpting session you can jump 100% right back into your daily life. I'm beyond amazed with the results from my CoolSculpting sessions at Holland Plastic Surgery! The CoolSculpting process was easy and the staff was super knowledgeable and attentive. I felt so pampered and special every time I went in. Honestly the hardest part of the process was being patient and waiting 4+ weeks for the full results.”

90 day feel good challenge winner
”I was introduced to the 90 Day Challenge by a coworker after noticing how great her skin looked. She had participated in the challenge the previous year and had continued with the recommended skin care regimen. After seeing her amazing results, I immediately signed up for the challenge and couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
The dark spots on my forehead and cheeks were getting worse every year no matter what I did. I was so self-conscious of them that I would rarely leave my house without applying concealer. After my treatments with Brooke and using the prescribed skin care products, the changes have been so dramatic that I hardly ever wear makeup now! I am so excited for my future appointments and the results to come!
Brooke and all the staff at Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics are wonderful and made the entire process so easy. I have been extremely pleased with my experience and highly recommend them for your skincare needs.”

meet kate, m.
90 day self care challenge winner
“I really can’t say enough good things about my experience with the 90 day challenge, and the staff at Holland Plastic Surgery. I stumbled on the challenge by chance, and signed up on a whim - thinking it sounded like a great deal and might be a good initial step toward better self-care. As someone who has never used quality skincare products, or had professional treatments done, I was truly AMAZED with the results I saw over the course 90 days (and beyond, as the they just keep improving with time!). My skin looks and feels better than it has in decades, and I never imagined how much confidence would come along with the healthy glowing complexion. As a brand new patient, feeling out of my element, I was nervous walking in that first day – but that tension faded immediately upon entering the office. The entire staff is warm, welcoming and professional – and the atmosphere couldn’t be more comfortable… I have looked forward to every visit since! I am thrilled with the results of my new skincare regimen, and look forward to expanding it in the future with continued support from the team at Holland. I also loved the opportunity to connect with the other local business that offered their services through the challenge – Mbrace, Aon Wellness & Greener Postures- and found them to be a perfect complement to this incredible skincare transformation! I look forward to continuing those relationships as well. Overall the 90 day challenge was an amazing experience - I am so grateful that I found this practice, & team of amazing providers- can’t recommend them all highly enough!”

breast reduction, injectables, thermitight face & neck
“I only have positive things to say about Dr. Holland and Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics. First and foremost every one of Dr. Holland's staff is respectful, kind, helpful and downright sweet. I really enjoy my visits to the office; seeing familiar faces and knowing that I am going to look and feel better after my visit!
I chose Dr. Holland fifteen years ago because I wanted a breast reduction and I knew she was highly skilled. I felt comfortable and confident from our first meeting on, in that she took into consideration my goal of looking my best while still maintaining a natural look. With Dr. Holland and all of her staff I always feel confident that I am getting the best care, the best advice and the best results based on what I am looking to achieve. I love that the they keep up on new products, techniques and procedures as they develop. In the years I have been with Dr. Holland a lot of advances have been made in skin treatments, injectables and procedures, some of which I have taken advantage. It's nice to know that they are available locally. I highly recommend HPSA. I believe they are the best (and nicest) practice around!”

Meet Robyn, A.
botox, breast reduction, coolsculpting & skin care patient
“I first met Dr. Holland 3 years ago after my first daughter was born. As a new mom who was always tired, constantly on the go and living on coffee I was feeling like I needed a little “refreshing”. So I made my first appointment to “try” some botox. From the minute I met Dr. Holland I immediately felt at ease, comfortable, excited, and I just knew I was in the right place! The appointment was so laid back, we chatted and laughed. She was quick and precise. I could not believe how well it went. In just a few short days I was completely amazed! My face looked incredible. The scowl lines on my brow area were totally gone. I looked at least 10-15 years younger.
I knew the very first time I met Dr. Holland 3 years ago she was the doctor who was going to do my second breast reduction. And she did! And I could not be more happy with the outcome. I had my first reduction about 17 years ago when I was just 19. And to be honest, my first procedure was wonderful and I did not think that anyone would be able to top that surgery or surgeon. I was wrong! Dr. Holland was amazing. Everything from all the pre op appointments, calls, paperwork-her office staff are the absolute dream team! I usually get very anxious and stressed before surgery, but Dr. Holland and her staff put me at ease and I was cool as a cucumber, and actually excited! The end result was far beyond what I expected. Perfection!
I have since had several other procedures and services at the office. I had coolsculpting on my belly. After 2 babies, my stomach needed a bit of love! But to be honest, my stomach as been a problem area my entire life and no matter what measures I took, it never got smaller or looked any better. I could not believe how much of a difference I saw after just one session! My stomach was flat! My pants fit so much better-no more squeezing into them or sucking in my gut! The procedure was completely painless, and absolutely worth it!
I have been to many salons and spas around central/southern Maine and I can tell you, hands down, you won't find better than HPSA! I have suffered with “bad skin” for most of my life. And no matter what I did, or what treatments I tried, nothing really ever fixed it. Drs appointments, creams, treatments, so much money! Turns out, all you really need is a good esthetician who knows what she's doing and a good simple skin care regimen! I was blown away by my facial! She goes above and beyond! She has really taken my skin to a new level! We did a series of peels, a facial, and I have a simple skin care regimen with high quality skin care products right from the office. My face looks and feels the best it has in years! I no longer have painful cystic acne all over my chin and jawline, with hardly any congestion in my pores! My skin tone even looks so much better.
Bottom line-you won't find a better place to take care of you! Whether you need a facial or a major surgery Holland Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics is the place to go. Dr. Holland is extremely knowledgeable, caring and absolutely one of the best surgeons I have seen. You can tell she truly cares for her patients! Dr. Holland and her staff are more like family, and I will always be truly grateful for all of them and everything they have done for me. They have truly made a wonderfully positive impact on my quality of life.”

meet kathy, v.
breast cancer survivor, thermiva vaginal rejuvenation patient
"I recently became aware of a relatively new treatment for a problem shared by a great number of women. Because it is a "female" problem that involves sexuality, it remains under-discussed. Many find it difficult to even talk about, even with their doctors. That problem is vaginal atrophy. It's a problem as universal as menopause. It sounds terrible, and it really is for the women who have come to believe they just to live with it. The women that do consult with their doctors are often prescribed hormonal replacement therapies. But not all women want to use hormones, and not all women can.
Like many others, I was not a candidate for estrogen replacement because I had breast cancer that was estrogen receptor positive. My cancer treatment included an aromatase inhibitor which exacerbated my vaginal symptoms. I put up with this condition for five years. A few months before my five year annual visit to my oncologist, I fortuitously stumbled upon a webinar hosted by my plastic surgeon, Sarah Holland. She was discussing the benefits of ThermiVa. I had never heard of it before. I learned that many women, of all ages, were finding cosmetic and functional value from this therapy that uses radio-frequency energy for internal and external vaginal rejuvenation. ThermiVa also helps some women with stress incontinence.
I am currently being treated at Dr. Holland's office. It's fast, easy and painless. I'm not finished with treatment, but I am already getting truly positive results. This is a life changer for me. But hardly anyone seems to know about it. There are other similar vaginal therapies available to women as well. I don't understand why many doctors are unaware of these breakthroughs concerning vaginal health."

aesthetic patient
“I’m a mother to three young children, I work full time, and well with everything that happed this year it really took its toll – especially on my skin! One day I looked in the mirror and was like “who is this?!”. My skin was dull, my fine lines were more pronounced, and I had these blemishes that just wouldn’t go away. Sound familiar? That’s why I called Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics.
Working with Brooke has been EVERYTHING!!! My skin looks AMAZING, better than is has in years. I am so grateful to Brooke for helping me to feel and look my best. Brooke, if you’re reading this – THANK YOU! Don’t wait to live your best life! Working with the Brooke and the team at Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself in a long time.”

meet kristi, r.
coolsculpting patient
“Walking into Holland Plastic Surgery, everyone was super friendly with a smile on there face. I was immediately asked if they could get me a drink or something to make me feel more comfortable while I wait. When I went in for my consult I had no idea what to expect. Katie was very informative with any questions I had.
I ended up being a model for Holland Plastic Surgery to explain to others what the process was like for me and what I was feeling. I did my lower abdomen, because kids.. I of course love my two boys but my stomach hasn’t been the same. I have been exercising and eating healthy so I have seen change and weight loss in that, but I knew cool sculpting could really help me get to where I wanted to be. Also who doesn’t want to have a nice bikini body!? This mom does!
Holland Plastic Surgery made my cool sculpting experience so amazing and I was so comfortable.”

biote hormone replacement therapy patients
“As we have stated to “AGE GRACEFULLY”, the search for a healthy lifestyle, has been a work in progress. A healthy diet and exercise have contributed to our success, especially Mariann’s struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. We take our supplements everyday but we needed something more. Mariann started the BioTE hormone replacement pellets and had great results. At sixty-seven I tried the BioTE hormone replacement pellets and have experienced positive results in vitality and energy. Coupled with our diet and exercise the BioTE program has been a positive physical force in our lives. Thank you to Dr. Holland and her amazing staff for their dedication and knowledge through our treatments.”

Meet nan, m.
coolsculpting and thermitight neck tightening patient
“My name is Nan and I am writing this testimonial because I am so thrilled with the results I’ve been able to obtain through Sarah Holland’s practice in Falmouth Maine. My first venture into cosmetic procedures was coolsculpting and I cannot believe the difference this made in ridding my abdominal area of post-menopausal fat! No more muffin top, no more squeezing into my jeans. And I have a waist! Next month, I’m on the upper arms to rid myself of that swinging horror that was once a tricep.
Last month I underwent a thermitight of my neck and honestly, my neck has been rejuvenated by 20 years. I’m no longer being held hostage by neck scarves for camouflage. And may I just add, the skin care program is everything that it is supposed to be. My fine lines are diminished, my age spots are fading and my skin looks and feels great!
Dr. Holland and her team are completely non-judgement, extremely knowledgeable, skilled and friendly. I love going to my appointments and in-fact, they are becoming a high point of my week! Thank you Holland Plastic Surgery!!”

mother’s day contest winner (botox, customized facial, skincare)
“My wife , Anita, is endlessly selfless, kind and resilient. She has overcome many challenges in her youth and it has prepared her to be a mother to our special needs and medically complex son with a rare genetic syndrome. She sacrifices her needs and dedicates her time to navigating the complex medical system to make sure our son has the specialized equipment, medication and therapies he needs. She hasn't bought herself new material things in over a year due to the financial burdens and our medical bills. Therefore, I hope you chose her as she is very deserving of some pampering.”

meet kristin, F.S.
coolsculpting patient
“I love who I am, inside and out. The decision to go for a CoolSculpting treatment on my neck with Holland Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics was easy. I knew that I wanted to regain some of the firmness I had in my neck and chin area, as I am extremely expressive and do a lot of public speaking.
I love to put my best foot forward and enhancing my neck and chin area through Cool Sculpting took only a few hours.
I met with Dr. Holland’s Esthetician Katie who is trained in advanced Cool Sculpting techniques. We mapped out the area to be sculpted and I sat for back-to-back sessions while each side of my chin was treated. The procedure was painless - the only discomfort came after the procedure was complete during the chin massage process. The treated area was cleaned and rubbed, dispersing some of the tightness.
Results take 4-6 weeks to complete and I am thrilled with the process so far. Cool Sculpting is not intended for weight-loss - it smooths and reduces fat in the targeted areas by up to 20-25%.
I can’t wait to share the “after” photos! Thank you to the incredible team at #hollandspa I am so happy with how I have been treated!
**Note: I was the winner of a contest for two Cool Sculpting treatments. These opinions are my own and reflect my genuine feedback and excitement with my results.”

meet jennifer, g.
90 day skin & wellness challenge winner
“One of my first experiences with Dr. Holland and her staff was the 90 day challenge. I highly recommend it if it runs again! Not only does your skin feel amazing every month after the rejuvenation it gets from the in office treatments, but there is a great camaraderie that happens among the participants and staff. Every other week we had our group workout, and typically the same people show up (along with members of the staff) so you get to know and cheer each other on. Now that it is over, I absolutely miss our sweat sessions together.
I did the challenge because I thought it was an AMAZING deal, the prizes were phenomenal, and it would get me to be consistent in my skin care routine. Well it worked and I won (shockingly to my surprise)! Not only did I see some nice changes to my skin, you start to feel like family there.”

meet nina, m.
acne patient
"After a number of skin incidents that left my face ravaged (including a nasty bout of cystic acne that required antibiotics and aggressive peri-oral dermatitis), I was desperate for help in getting my skin under control.
I found Kate online and she quickly scheduled a consultation with me to evaluate what the individual needs of my skin were. During the consultation she explained what was happening inside my pores, and how we could tackle the problem of my breakouts and skin congestion at the very root of the problem, not just on the surface.
We decided that chemical peels were the best place to start in treating my skin's needs. Kate washed and steamed my face, giving a back and shoulder massage during the steam portion of the treatment. Then she went in and did extractions, explaining that before the peel she likes to clean out your pores as much as possible. Trust me, she is fearless when it comes to extractions. The peel itself is tingly, but in my experience, not painful. Kate made sure to keep checking that I was comfortable and not in any pain during the entire process. After the acid, she wiped me off, put on some sunscreen and gave me clear after-care instructions.
Believe me when I tell you that this was the best choice I have ever made with my skin.
After a week my face was already transformed. My big nasty breakout areas had smoothed over and seemed to have dried up post peel. My skin looked and even felt healthier.
Needless to say, I'm hooked. I've have somewhere around 5 peels with Kate now, and my face looks better than it did when I was a teenager. I don't get deep cystic pimples anymore, I don't have bumps on my chin or around my mouth anymore. My face is soft, and most of my scars and discoloration have faded. I have a better understanding of how my skin works, and what my skin does and doesn't like. When I am shopping for products I consider the advice Kate has given me during my sessions, and I check for ingredients that may irritate my face. What I like the most though is that I can go out in public or on a date with no makeup on and not feel self conscious or embarrassed about my skin."
