Dr. Keith Marcus

Keith Marcus, MD, directs Marcus Medical, a facial plastic surgery practice he founded in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. He is board certified in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery by the American Board of Otolaryngology, and in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The site says he scored in the 99th percentile on his facial plastic surgery boards. After his specialized training he returned to the South Bay to practice. His education includes a medical degree from the USC Keck School of Medicine, a five-year otolaryngology residency at the University of Michigan, and a facial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship under Dr. Shan Baker. He graduated with honors from UC Berkeley. He is a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, which, according to the site, gave him its John Orlando Roe Award for research. He runs clinical FDA research trials for aesthetic companies and teaches and lectures on newer products and techniques. His listed specialties are facelifts, surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, brow lifts and neck lifts, and the site notes many rhinoplasties among his work. For facelifts he uses a deep-plane approach that repositions the tissues beneath the skin. At consultations he assesses skin quality, bone structure and tissue laxity. He also performs Mohs reconstruction, including primary closure, skin grafts, flap reconstruction, and tissue advancement and rotation, as well as Botox injections planned around each patient's facial anatomy and goals. The site reports he has treated thousands of patients, many from across the Los Angeles metro area and farther away. The site describes him as a top facial plastic surgeon, one of the most sought after in Los Angeles and one of the top in the Long Beach area; these are the salon's own claims.
