Dr. Mihail Climov

Dr. Mihail Climov possesses a multicontinental background that combines European scientific rigor with American medical innovation. After graduating from Carol Davila University of Bucharest, he perfected his knowledge at Harvard Medical School and West Virginia University, where he was awarded twice as Plastic Surgery Resident of the Year.

Today, from the Dallas location of Avana Plastic Surgery, he places at the service of his patients all his experience in highly complex procedures such as facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and high-definition liposuction. His solid academic training is complemented by a distinguished scientific career, with more than twenty specialized publications, participation in international conferences, and a fellowship at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery in Houston, accredited by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). This advanced training allowed him to refine his skills in deep-plane facelift, rhinoplasty, and three-dimensional contouring.

The aesthetic philosophy of this talented professional is based on respecting the identity and needs of his patients. In every surgery, he achieves natural and safe results that redefine the concepts of beauty and confidence. Dr. Climov perfectly represents the ideal of the modern surgeon: innovation, technical skill, and a profound human approach.
