In Dr. Gregory S. Keller's own words

How Dr. Gregory S. Keller describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • My experience with it is that if you're young and you just need a little shift, it's a great procedure
  • We don't wanna overdo it, but we want them to look more youthful and they look very natural because they fill out the bone or volume or fat that people have lost, especially when there isn't any fat to put back in, which is very common with Osempic
  • Dr. Gregory S. Keller's practice believes they are among the first to implement these new techniques for lifting drool lines.

Specialization

  • So I think that we're known for this and refining the suprafibromuscular glide plane rather than the classic deep plane facelift

Technique

  • So recently, we've had some anatomic breakthroughs and to find some fascial levels that we can actually pick up and lift those drool lines at the time of surgery
  • Okay, so today we are going to be doing microneedling with PRP
  • And we get some of the cheek area and the line that goes from the nose to the mouth

Training & credentials

  • Dr. Keller is an internationally-known, board-certified facial plastic surgeon.
  • He has trained over 25 other physicians in Deep Plane Facelifts, Rhinoplasty, and Blepharoplasty
  • Dr. Keller has over 41 years of expertise.

Results

  • Dr. Gregory S. Keller's practice believes their refined suprafibromuscular glide plane facelift results in a more natural and better appearance.
  • And it helps with healing, helps with collagen building. It helps with firming and just really boost all those benefits of an already awesome treatment

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Gregory S. Keller

Sourced directly from Dr. Gregory S. Keller's social posts and replies.

What common concerns do patients bring to Dr. Keller?
Many patients seek consultation feeling they 'don't quite look like themselves anymore' when they see their reflection.
What is the XERF treatment and how does it work?
The XERF treatment is a Structural Skin Tightening method that delivers skin-tightening and collagen-boosting power using radiofrequency energy. It adapts to each patient’s unique skin profile using Accurate Impedance Feedback for real-time analysis. Unlike conventional RF treatments, the XERF system delivers RF energy deeper into the skin, reaching the shallow, middle, and deep layers where real change begins. It offers three depth settings and ten intensity levels for a personalized experience. The treatment is comfortable, does not involve needles, and requires no downtime.
How do Microneedling and PRP treatments work and what are their benefits?
Microneedling activates the skin’s own repair process, building new collagen and elastin from the inside out. PRP uses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to accelerate skin renewal and is available as an injectable or topical add-on. The practice's new microneedling treatment is virtually painless and deeply relaxing, resulting in visibly smoother texture, reduced scarring, and a noticeably more radiant complexion.
What conditions can Fractional Laser treatments address?
Fractional laser treatments achieve dramatic improvement in skin texture and tone, treating surface imperfections on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, and back. They successfully treat moderate acne scarring, discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, certain cases of melasma, and scars resulting from surgery or injury. These treatments also diminish wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and on the eyelids, and can remove precancerous lesions on the skin by gently scraping away sun-damaged skin to reveal a fresh new layer of skin cells.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$160

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Gregory S. Keller received $160 across 2 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
