Joseph Kelling

Joseph Kelling practices plastic surgery in Dallas, Texas, at Kelling Plastic Surgery. He completed training at UT Southwestern, where emphasis fell on facelift surgery, and he also learned from breast augmentation experts. He belongs to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons as an active member and teaches as community faculty in the UT Southwestern Department of Plastic Surgery. Every surgical procedure at the practice is performed by him, and he oversees each treatment plan, surgical and non-surgical. In facelifts, he repositions deeper tissues instead of relying on skin tightening alone. He also performs blepharoplasty, planning each eyelid procedure around the patient's anatomy, goals and natural expression, and favoring clarity over dramatic change. He was named 2023 Laser Ambassador for performing the most laser procedures of any resident, and was named a 2024/2025 Dallas Modern Luxury Power Player. He received the Bridget Harrison Humanitarian Award, which recognizes patient care, research and surgical skill. The practice describes him as known for technical precision, a calm demeanor and genuine connection with patients.
