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.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions deeper facial tissue layers rather than simply tightening skin. Dr. Locketz is recognized within his practice for this method, which aims for natural movement and a rested appearance.

He is listed as board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a credential that reflects rigorous surgical training and examination. This certification is one of the more meaningful markers patients look for when researching facial surgeons.

Dr. Locketz holds memberships in several professional bodies, including the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Such affiliations signal ongoing engagement with the standards and advances of the specialty.

His practice philosophy emphasizes authenticity over trend. The website for Locketz Facial Plastic Surgery states that true beauty is timeless and unique, rejecting carbon-copy or standardized cosmetic solutions.

The practice is structured around what Dr. Locketz calls a patient-centric experience. This means care is individualized, from the first consultation through the recovery period, with the stated goal of a naturally rejuvenated look.

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.

Facial fat transfer is another area of his focus. This procedure restores lost facial volume using a patient's own tissue, addressing the deflation that often accompanies aging alongside the sagging that a facelift corrects.

Recovery is treated as a managed process at his practice. Dr. Locketz and his team guide patients through the healing timeline, explaining what to expect in the weeks following deep plane surgery so that expectations remain realistic.

His background includes affiliation with major medical institutions. Professional listings note his connection to NYC Health and Hospitals as part of his training and career history before establishing his Denver practice.

Dr. Locketz completed advanced fellowship-level training in facial plastic surgery. This additional education, beyond standard residency, is common among surgeons who dedicate themselves specifically to facial aesthetic and reconstructive work.

Denver serves as the home base for his practice. The Colorado city offers a setting that combines a sophisticated medical community with the accessibility patients value when planning facial surgery and recovery.

For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Locketz represents a surgeon focused specifically on the deep plane technique. His combination of specialized training, focused practice, and individualized philosophy shapes the experience he offers.

From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Garrett Locketz and his team was exceptional. 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
