Mini & Mid Facelift in Richmond
Facial aging isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you’re starting to notice sagging cheeks, jowls, or loose skin in the mid-face area—but don’t want a full facelift—then a Mini Facelift or Mid Facelift might be just the right solution for you.
Dr. Steven Montante performs both mini and mid facelifts in Richmond, tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. These procedures tighten and lift key areas of the face while cutting down on recovery time compared to a full facelift.
Some patients opt to combine their mid-facelift with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, or rhinoplasty. Facial fillers or facial fat grafting can enhance the results of a face lift, and laser skin resurfacing can help to reduce fine lines on the skin’s surface.
What Are Mini & Mid Facelifts?
-
Mini Facelift: Targets the lower third of the face—jawline and jowls—using smaller incisions and less tissue dissection. Good option for early sagging with minimal skin laxity.
-
Mid Facelift: Focuses on the middle region of the face—cheeks, under-eye area, and nasolabial folds—lifting tissues to restore youthful fullness and reduce hollows.
Both procedures aim to refresh your appearance, soften wrinkles, and restore contours with less downtime than full facelifts.

Have good skin elasticity

During the consultation, your facial structure, skin quality, and goals will be assessed to determine which lift is the best match.
What to Expect: The Procedure & Recovery
-
Procedure: Mini/mid facelifts are done under sedation or general anesthesia. Incisions are typically smaller and more discreet.
-
Duration: Usually 1-3 hours depending on what needs to be lifted and combined treatments.
-
Recovery: Expect swelling, bruising for the first 1-2 weeks. Most patients return to light activity in 1-2 weeks and full social activity in ~3-4 weeks.
-
Results: Initial lift visible quickly; full results after swelling and tissue settle (often around 3 months).
