Their 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 their practice for this method, which aims for natural movement and a rested appearance.

Dr. Locketz 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.

Their 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, their 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 their practice. Dr. Locketz and their team guide patients through the healing timeline, explaining what to expect in the weeks following deep plane surgery so that expectations remain realistic.

Dr. Locketz's background includes affiliation with major medical institutions. Professional listings note Dr. Locketz's connection to NYC Health and Hospitals as part of their training and career history before establishing their 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 Dr. Locketz's 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. Dr. Locketz's combination of specialized training, focused practice, and individualized philosophy shapes the experience Dr. Locketz offers.
