His clinical focus sits within a narrow field. Rather than offering the full spectrum of cosmetic body procedures, Dr. Locketz concentrates on the face and neck, an approach that allows for refined attention to facial anatomy.

Dr. Locketz addresses facial aging comprehensively. Beyond the deep plane facelift, his services include deep plane neck lifts, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lifts, chin augmentation, and laser skin resurfacing.

Dr. Locketz is not only a brilliant and precise surgeon, but also one of the kindest and most genuine professionals I’ve ever met. He takes time to listen, explain, and ensure you feel completely comfortable every step of the way. His staff mirrors his professionalism and warmth. They are compassionate, organized, and always make you feel cared for and valued. Every interaction, from scheduling to follow-up, was handled with the utmost attention and kindness. The entire process was smooth, supportive, and filled with positivity. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the incredible care I received. If you’re considering any facial procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Locketz and his amazing team. They truly set the standard for excellence in patient care.
Had my consult today for a procedure in 2026, what a perfect experience… staff, office, Dr Locketz.. all so wonderful. Countdown starts now I cannot wait!
My experience with Dr. Locketz and his entire staff was nothing but exceptional. I was so tired of spending money on fillers that weren't working right anymore. I had tried every gadget and cream out there and was becoming increasingly frustrated when my injectionist referred my to Locketz Facial Plastic surgery. I was very nervous at first. I was worried about the stigma that surrounds plastic surgery. Would people be able to tell? Would I look drastically different? After my first appointment my fears subsided. Dr. Locketz has such a wealth of knowledge and calming demeanor that it instantly put me at ease. His entire staff is also extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming. My recovery was seamless and relatively quick. I was out on social occasions in just a little over two weeks. And guess what? No one could tell I had anything done. They just commented on how great I looked! My only regret is not doing it much sooner. I could have saved myself a ton of money! I would highly recommend Locketz Facial Plastic Surgery to anyone considering getting any type of procedure done on their face. Thank you to Dr. Locketz and his entire team!
I could not be more pleased with my experience with Dr.Locketz and his entire team. From my first call to the office I felt listened to, cared for and supported above and beyond. Dr. Locketz was patient, kind and made you feel he was available to answer any questions and concerns. I came from out of town and stayed locally for 9 days. The office referred me to a fantastic private nurse, Ashley, that cared for me the first 48 hours. Everything was seemless thanks to the planning done by the office staff. Dr. Locketz ability to recapture youth, accentuate beauty and balance while maintaining a completely natural result is true artistry. Everyone that has seen my ‘after’ is planning their visit to Locketz Plastic Surgery. My results are refreshed, well rested, rewind, glow up + Bonus smooth taut wrinkle and crease free skin;) You don’t feel dismissed as a patient once you surgery is completed. The aftercare has been excellent. The response time to questions or concerns is very fast. Multiple follow-up appointments are scheduled. Skincare consultations are available. It is a great experience all around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Locketz's Surgical Approach
Dr. Garrett Locketz approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a technique aimed at repositioning deeper tissue rather than pulling on skin.
Dr. Garrett Locketz approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a technique aimed at repositioning deeper tissue rather than pulling on skin. This method is central to how his Denver practice addresses facial aging.
The SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) is a fibrous layer that lies beneath the skin and connects to the facial muscles. In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon releases and lifts this layer as a unit, along with the overlying skin.
