FACIAL SURGERY IN RICHMOND, VA
Facial Plastic Surgery Designed Around You
Facial plastic surgery can address age-related changes, facial proportions,
and specific concerns involving the face, eyes, nose, neck, and jawline.
In Richmond, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Montante develops
individualized surgical plans based on each patient’s anatomy, concerns,
and aesthetic goals. Rather than applying the same approach to every patient,
treatment is selected according to the areas of the face being addressed and
the degree of change desired.
Options range from comprehensive facial rejuvenation with facelift and neck
lift surgery to procedures focused on a specific feature, such as rhinoplasty,
eyelid surgery, or brow lift.

contour, and proportion. Explore the options below to learn more
about facial procedures performed by Dr. Montante.
FACIAL REJUVENATION
Face, Neck, Eyes & Brow
Mid & Mini Facelift
For patients with more limited facial aging, a mid or mini
facelift may address selected areas of laxity and contour with
a more focused surgical approach.
Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery can improve loose skin, visible neck bands,
fullness, and reduced jawline definition to create a smoother
transition between the lower face and neck.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty can address excess eyelid skin, puffiness, and
other age-related changes involving the upper eyelids, lower
eyelids, or both.
Brow Lift
Brow lift surgery addresses brow position and upper facial
aging and may help improve heaviness around the brow and
upper eye area.
FACIAL CONTOUR
Shape, Definition & Volume
Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction can reduce localized fat beneath the chin
and along the upper neck in appropriately selected patients
with suitable skin quality.
Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting uses a patient’s own harvested fat
to restore volume in selected areas of the face and may be
incorporated into a broader facial rejuvenation plan.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal, also known as cheek reduction, may be
considered for selected patients seeking greater definition
through the lower cheek and midfacial contour.
NOSE & FACIAL FEATURES
Procedures Focused on Facial Proportion
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the underlying structures of the nose
to address concerns involving size, shape, proportion,
symmetry, or nasal function when appropriate.
Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, can address concerns involving
prominent ears, ear shape, proportion, asymmetry, or other
structural characteristics in appropriately selected children
and adults.
Facial surgery should be planned around the relationship between
features rather than treating each area of the face in isolation.

AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
Dr. Montante’s Approach to Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial anatomy and aging patterns vary considerably from one patient to another. During consultation, Dr. Montante evaluates the areas of concern in relation to the face as a whole.
This may include skin laxity, facial volume, brow and eyelid position, jawline definition, neck anatomy, nasal proportions, and the relationship between individual facial features.
Based on that evaluation, surgery may focus on one specific area or combine complementary procedures when a more comprehensive approach is appropriate.

CHOOSING A PROCEDURE
Which Facial Surgery Is Right for Your Concerns?
The appropriate procedure depends on the anatomy involved and
what you would like to change. A consultation allows Dr. Montante
to distinguish between concerns involving skin, deeper facial
tissues, fat, muscle, volume, or structural features.
Face & Jawline Aging
Facelift surgery may be considered when laxity and age-related changes involve the cheeks, lower face, jowls, and jawline.
Neck Concerns
Depending on skin quality, muscle position, and fat distribution, treatment may involve a neck lift, neck liposuction, or a combination with facial surgery.
Eyes & Brow
Blepharoplasty and brow lift surgery address different anatomical contributors to aging around the upper face and eye area.
Facial Proportion & Contour
Rhinoplasty, facial fat grafting, buccal fat removal, and other facial procedures can address specific concerns involving facial shape, volume, contour, and proportion.
COMPREHENSIVE REJUVENATION
Combining Facial Procedures
Facial aging can involve multiple areas of the face and neck. When appropriate, complementary procedures may be incorporated into one individualized surgical plan.
INDIVIDUALIZED PLANNING
A More Comprehensive Approach
Facial aging frequently affects more than one area. For some patients, addressing complementary areas during the same surgical plan may create greater balance between the face, eyes, jawline, and neck.
A facelift, for example, may be combined with neck lift surgery when aging extends below the jawline. Eyelid or brow surgery may also be considered when upper facial aging contributes to the patient’s overall concerns.
The goal is not to add procedures unnecessarily, but to determine whether treating related areas may create a more balanced and cohesive result.
COMMON COMBINATIONS
Procedures That May Be Combined
- Facelift + Neck Lift
- Facelift + Eyelid Surgery
- Facelift + Facial Fat Grafting
- Brow Lift + Eyelid Surgery
- Neck Lift + Neck Liposuction when appropriate
Recommendations depend on individual anatomy, surgical goals, health history, and Dr. Montante’s evaluation.
