A PHILOSOPHY OF SUBTLE BEAUTY

Luxury Care without the Pretense

Plastic surgery should feel personal, never pressured. At Kelling Plastic Surgery, you’ll never be rushed or upsold. Instead, we focus on what feels right for you, balancing modern techniques with honest conversations to deliver results that complement your natural features.

Every treatment plan, whether surgical or non-surgical, is built around long-term goals and elevated patient care. We’re not here to change you. We’re here to refine what’s already there.

THE HIGHEST STANDARDS

Award-winning Patient Care

Dr. Kelling was awarded the Bridget Harrison Humanitarian Award in recognition of his surgical care, research, and mentorship.

That same standard of excellence and compassion shapes every aspect of our practice — from your first consultation to your final result. Our patients aren’t just case studies; they’re real people with real lives, and we treat them that way. Dr. Kelling and his team deliver clear communication, calm decision-making, and a smooth, well-thought-out recovery process. Your safety and trust are always our highest priorities.

“I had a TT in February and I LOVE DR. KELLING! He did a wonderful job, listened to all my questions, weird ones included, made me so comfortable I wish I had 2 stomachs just so I could go see him again! LOL The results are amazing, and his staff in the office is wonderful. Also, it definitely doesn't hurt that he's so good-looking! I mean, if you gotta have a doctor, why not a hot one?! Call him if you need anything done and you won't regret it!”

— TE., Dallas, TX., Satisfied Tummy Tuck patient

"I HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE..."

“I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kelling. He did the closure after my MOHS surgery, and I am so thankful I found him and he was able to accommodate me! His bedside manner was amazing - very kind and patient, and really took the time to get to know me. I am sad I had to have surgery on my face, but I’m so grateful that I found such an amazing doctor in this process!...”

— DB., Dallas, TX., Satisfied MOHS patient

"I WILL ONLY CHOOSE LAUREN AND DR. KELLING"

“I go here strictly right now for aesthetics, and Lauren pays great attention to me and my needs specifically, and does exactly what she thinks is best! You don’t have to ever worry about someone trying to “sell you” on anything - but you’ll leave wanting more because they’re that good at their job LOL I will only choose Lauren and Dr. Kelling for any future procedures!”

— CM., Dallas, TX., satisfied aesthetic patient

"DR. KELLING'S RESULTS ARE FLAWLESS"

“As a surgeon myself who specializes in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Kelling is the ONLY surgeon I would trust to do plastic surgery on me. As part of my own training, I have had the opportunity to spend time observing him in the operating room, and he is without a doubt one of the most technically gifted and talented surgeons I have ever seen...”

— DW., Dallas, TX., satisfied surgical and aesthetic patient.

"I FINALLY HAVE THE LOOK I WANTED!!"

“I went to Dr. Kelling for a revision augmentation. I needed my inframammary fold repaired after a car accident, and I also have a pectus deformity in my chest wall that was causing the implants to sit closer together than I wanted. In addition, the surgeon I saw previously didn’t allow me to go as big as I wanted, and I still wanted to increase my size. Dr. Kelling really listened to what I wanted... ”

— BA., Dallas, TX., Satisfied revision augmentation patient

"...ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE..."

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dr. Joseph Kelling, and can't recommend him enough! I recently underwent a lower blepharoplasty, neck liposuction, and fat transfer procedure under his care, and the results exceeded my expectations…. The surgery itself went incredibly smoothly, thanks to Dr. Kelling's skillful hands, supportive team, and attention to detail….”

— JH., Dallas, TX., Satisfied surgical patient

"I FINALLY HAVE THE LOOK I WANTED!!"

He went above and beyond to ensure that everything was repaired beautifully and that it was all the right shape, size, and in the right place. Having been to another surgeon before, I was extremely impressed with the outcome and my experience as a whole. I’m so glad that he did my revision and that I FINALLY have the look I wanted!! I’m very grateful to Dr. Kelling and highly recommend him.

— BA., Dallas, TX., Satisfied revision augmentation patient

"...ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE..."

The lower blepharoplasty has revitalized my eyes, the neck liposuction has given me a more defined profile, and the fat transfer has enhanced my natural features…. If you're looking for remarkable results coupled with a positive and supportive experience, look no further – Dr. Kelling is the best choice!
