Distinguished Credentials in Facial Plastic and Laser Surgery

Dr. J. David Holcomb is a double board-certified facial plastic and cosmetic laser surgeon who has practiced in Sarasota, Florida, since 2000. In January 2014, Dr. Holcomb and Dr. Joshua Kreithen formed Holcomb-Kriethen Plastic Surgery and Med Spa. It has quickly become one of Florida’s largest plastic surgery practices. Most recently, Holcomb-Kriethen acquired Bowtique Med Spa, expanding their expertise in non-surgical aesthetic care.

Dr. Holcomb is recognized as a “Castle Connolly Regional Top Doctor.” He is a respected expert and published author in erbium-YAG laser surgery of the skin, fiber laser surgery of the face and neck, and integration of these and other technologies with facial rejuvenation surgery. He co-developed the AccuLift laser facial contouring procedure, introduced the procedure on CBS’ award-winning television show “The Doctors,” and integrated the technique with the laser-assisted facelift. 

Specialized Credentials in Facial Cosmetic Surgery

In addition to laser surgery, Dr. Holcomb specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face and nose, including brow lifts, eyelid surgery, facelifts, neck contouring, rhinoplasty, and otoplasty. He is frequently asked to perform revision cosmetic surgery. 

Dr. Holcomb has more than twenty years of surgical experience and a hospital affiliation with Sarasota Memorial Hospital. He completed a surgical internship (department of surgery) and residency training (department of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery) at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He then completed a fellowship in advanced cosmetic facial plastic surgery with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. 

A current member of the Florida Medical Association, Dr. Holcomb is a former president of the Sarasota County Medical Society and the Florida Society of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. In 2001, he was recognized by the Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation as a “Hero” for donating surgical skills to a child with a congenital deformity. In 2003 he participated in a local Sarasota Xtreme Makeover covered by the Sarasota Herald Tribune, in which patient Bobbie Walck received comprehensive facial surgery and a dental makeover.
