Holly L. Barbour, M.D. Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon
Working on the small canvas of a patient’s face, Dr. Holly Barbour understands the artistry of refined medical technique and the science of beauty where one millimeter can make the difference between what is natural and pleasing, and what is not. Dr. Barbour approaches her work with a scientist’s precision and a physician’s eye for the welfare of her patients. As a fine artist who graduated from the highly regarded Pratt Institute and worked as a New York fashion designer, she understands how to sculpt a face with an overall view to proportion and harmony. Retaining a natural look without sacrificing significant improvement is her goal. Through 20 years of private practice in Sarasota, Dr. Barbour’s work has become specialized in rejuvenation of the face and neck. In a field filled with hype and misinformation, she organizes her schedule to allow the necessary time to get to know patients and to educate them, ensuring they understand her recommendations. As a result, some have returned to her for more than 15 years, and the opportunity to know her patients well keeps her looking forward to coming to work each day. That, and the skill she brings to her work, has fueled the growth of her practice nearly 100 percent through referrals. Dr. Barbour also educates other physicians nationally and internationally in her laser skin resurfacing, oculoplastic, surgical face lifting, and facial rejuvenation techniques. Her courses in facial fillers and Botox techniques have qualified for Continuing Medical Education credits. Dr. Barbour
