Deep Plane Facelift
The Deep Plane Facelift addresses midface sagging by repositioning deeper facial tissues for long-lasting, natural results. Ideal for patients with moderate to severe aging signs, this technique restores youthful contours without tightness. Dr. Keller's expertise ensures harmonious facial balance, with recovery typically involving minimal swelling and visible rejuvenation within weeks.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to enhance proportion and address functional concerns. Dr. Keller specializes in primary, ethnic, and revision rhinoplasty, using precise techniques to achieve balanced aesthetics and improved breathing. Patients benefit from his artistic approach, ensuring results complement individual facial features while maintaining structural integrity.
Hair Transplant
Hair Transplant procedures use follicular unit extraction (FUE) or strip harvesting to restore natural hair growth in thinning or balding areas. Dr. Keller's advanced techniques ensure seamless integration of transplanted hair, tailored to each patient's pattern and density needs. Results provide permanent, undetectable coverage with minimal scarring.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat for a refreshed appearance. This procedure addresses puffiness, bags, and drooping, enhancing both aesthetics and vision in some cases. Dr. Keller's meticulous approach ensures subtle, natural-looking results that align with facial harmony.
Neck Lift
A Neck Lift tightens loose skin and underlying muscles to define the jawline and reduce aging signs. Combining liposuction and tissue repositioning, this procedure addresses sagging and banding for a smoother profile. Dr. Keller's technique prioritizes natural contours, with results that complement overall facial rejuvenation efforts.

I am 10 months post deep plane lower facelift, cheek lift with Ellevate neck lift. Dr. Keller is amazing, his 40 years of experience has certainly paid off. I am a 58 year old Latina female, I was starting to look tired saggy and grumpy. I was terrified that I would look different if I had surgery, and the recovery would be rough. I had surgery on a Tuesday and returned to work the following Monday.
I look like my self only difference is I look 10 years younger. My family and friends have no Idea that I had a face lift. I am now happy and confident, love the way I look. The staff was so kind and helpful, I could not have done this with out them. Front desk, nurses and patient care coordinator were all a great team, always kind and willing to answer questions when when I started to panic. Thank you Dr. Gregory Keller, you are a magician and you have an amazing team and Fellow.

Dianne is quite skilled, informative and affable in all the Med spa treatments I have received from her. She puts you at ease by explaining everything each step of the procedure, which makes the treatments easier. Very skilled and I am so pleased with the results!

Keller is wonderful he's the best. I look fabulous. This is my 2nd time around with Dr. Keller, my previous facelift was 17 years ago so this is my second facelift and hopefully my last. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a procedure done with him.

I hope Dr. Keller decides to retire from performing surgeries soon. It has taken me three years to get the courage to post my pictures. I wonder how many other patients have had poor results like mine but are too embarrassed to write a review? My mistake was to trust Dr. Keller. On September 8, 2018, he gave me a brow, face, and neck lift. As you can see, I have horrible scarring on both sides of my face.
My brows are uneven enough that I had to have microblading to cover up the difference. My results are embarrassing and depressing enough that it affects my daily life. For $23,000, I would have expected a better outcome. I wish I could turn back time and get a refund.

Dr Keller is a first class gentleman and a very skilled plastic surgeon, a rare combination. As a result of my lower face and neck lift, I look naturally! thirty years younger. My kids and husband, my toughest critics, are thrilled with his work because I don't look pulled or strange as many women do after facial surgery. His staff is wonderful, too. The universe of plastic surgery is lucky to include this extraordinary surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Keller!
