A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face. While non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers can temporarily mask volume loss, a surgical facelift is the only way to effectively reposition sagging facial tissue and underlying muscles.
Dr. Climov offers several facelift technique options tailored to your facial anatomy. From the mini facelift for early signs of aging to the comprehensive deep plane facelift, he designs each cosmetic procedure to restore the natural contours of your face. When paired with a neck lift, facelift surgery provides a seamless transition from the jawline to the collarbone.
Combining procedures can enhance results, save recovery time, and create a harmonious, refreshed look tailored to your goals. Dr. Climov will discuss these options during your consultation to determine the best approach for you.

On the day of your facelift surgery, our team provides attentive care at every step. Once general anesthesia is administered, Dr. Climov begins by making a strategic facelift incision hidden within the natural folds of the ear and behind the hairline.
Unlike a traditional facelift that simply pulls the skin, Dr. Climov focuses on the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) or the deeper tissues in a deep plane facelift. By releasing and lifting these underlying tissues, he creates a more youthful appearance that looks effortless. After the facial structure is restored, excess skin is meticulously trimmed, and the remaining skin is closed using fine sutures or skin adhesives to minimize scarring.
The facelift procedure is the gold standard for correcting the most prominent signs of aging. It specifically targets:
By tightening the facial tissue, Dr. Climov smooths deep wrinkles and restores the graceful, youthful contours of the cheeks.
The most profound benefit of a facelift is the restoration of your self-image. Looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that looks rested and vibrant provides a massive boost in confidence. By utilizing the deep plane facelift technique, Dr. Climov achieves results that don't look "pulled." Because he is repositioning the facial structure at a deep level, the tension is placed on the underlying tissues rather than the skin. This leads to smoother skin and natural contours that can last a decade or more.
A surgical procedure with Dr. Climov is a highly individualized procedure. He often integrates fat grafting to restore volume or a brow lift to brighten the eyes. This holistic treatment plan ensures that every feature is in balance, avoiding the pitfalls of a nonsurgical facelift which can sometimes look overfilled.
Facelift surgery provides both aesthetic and psychological benefits, including:
Ideal facelift candidates typically have visible signs of facial aging but who still possess some skin elasticity. You should be in good general health, free from significant medical conditions, and have realistic expectations. This procedure is right for those seeking a permanent "reset" rather than the temporary fixes of a non-surgical facelift. During your facelift consultation, Dr. Climov will evaluate your skin texture and facial anatomy to collaborate with you on a personalized treatment plan.
The initial facelift recovery process is a time for rest and self-care. For the first few days, you will need to keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. While you may experience some bruising in the treatment area, most patients find the discomfort is minimal and easily managed with medication and proper care. Dr. Climov will provide detailed aftercare instructions, check your healing at post-operative visits, and remain a source of support throughout your entire healing process.
A surgical facelift with Dr. Climov provides a long-lasting reset for your facial structure. Unlike temporary fixes, the deep plane facelift addresses the aging process at its source by securing the underlying tissues in a more youthful position. As the healing process completes, you will notice that the deep folds and sagging skin have been replaced by a smooth, defined jawline and a refined neck. While no procedure stops time, you will always look ten to fifteen years younger than you would have without the intervention, allowing you to age with a new sense of sophistication.

An SMAS facelift tightens the muscular layer under the skin, which is a significant improvement over a traditional facelift. However, a deep plane facelift goes even deeper, releasing certain ligaments to allow for a more vertical, natural lift. Dr. Climov will help you choose the right facelift technique for your specific signs of aging.
While the aging process continues, facelift results typically last 10 to 15 years. By maintaining good skin quality and avoiding significant fluctuations in weight, you can enjoy your youthful appearance for a very long time.
A nonsurgical facelift usually refers to a combination of dermal fillers, Botox, and skin-tightening treatments. While these are excellent minimally invasive options for early aging, they cannot remove excess skin or repair the underlying tissues like a surgical facelift can.
Dr. Climov is an expert at hiding the facelift incision in the natural folds of the ear and the hairline. Once healed, these scars are nearly invisible to the naked eye, even with your hair pulled back.
The cost of a facelift varies based on the complexity of the surgical procedure and whether you are combining it with eyelid surgery or a brow lift. We provide a transparent estimate during your facelift consultation.
