Menopause Makeover: Menopause and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Popular Combination of Procedures Post-Menopause
The “menopause makeover” is the latest trend in aesthetic plastic surgery, highlighting the important relationship between a woman and her body. Menopause is a natural biological process in a woman’s life, characterized by the gradual decline of reproductive hormones, which also affects body appearance. As a result, many women seek solutions to address visible signs of aging related to menopause.
Much like the “mommy makeover,” which focuses on addressing changes to a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth, the menopause makeover helps restore the body to its pre-menopausal appearance. This trend isn’t about one specific surgery; it refers to a combination of procedures and non-invasive techniques designed to rejuvenate the face and reshape the body.
Common Aesthetic Procedures in a Menopause Makeover
Botox, Mesobotox, and Injectable Fillers
These non-surgical options are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles—such as those on the forehead, crow’s feet, and nasolabial folds—as well as volume loss in the face over time. When administered by an experienced plastic surgeon, these treatments provide a refreshed, more youthful appearance with no downtime from daily activities.
Facelift and Neck Lift
The decrease in collagen production can lead to sagging skin, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and even a double chin. In such cases, facelift and neck lift surgeries are the only procedures that anatomically restore sagging soft tissues to their natural position, offering a more youthful facial structure with reliable, safe, and long-lasting results.
Lip lift
By reducing the distance between the nose and the upper lip, a lip lift not only creates fuller, more youthful lips but also enhances the overall youthful appearance of the face. This is achieved through a nearly invisible incision at the base of the nose during a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. In addition to enhancing lip volume, the procedure lifts the corners of the mouth, correcting the “sad” expression, and eliminates wrinkles around the mouth for full perioral rejuvenation.
Breast Lift
Changes in breast tissue and skin elasticity are common during menopause. A breast lift restores the breasts to their original position, improving firmness and shape by correcting width, height, projection, and nipple position. Depending on the severity of the issue, a breast lift can be combined with augmentation or reduction.
Lipoabdominoplasty
Menopause often leads to stubborn fat accumulation and redistributes fat, typically shifting it from the hips and thighs to the abdomen. The combination of abdominoplasty and liposuction—known as 360˚ lipoabdominoplasty—not only removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen but also targets fat on the sides of the torso, while ideally shaping the waist and back. Thanks to modern liposuction technology like Vibrasat Pro, fat removal is more precise, with simultaneous tightening for a smoother, more contoured figure.
Labiaplasty
This surgery addresses the relaxation of vaginal tissues and improves both the appearance and functionality of the genital area, restoring confidence, comfort in daily life, and enhancing sexual well-being. Techniques such as the use of special hyaluronic acid, autologous fat, mini-liposuction, or removal of excess skin are employed to rejuvenate the genital area.
Benefits of a Menopause Makeover
Personalized Approach
The menopause makeover is highly individualized, allowing women to collaborate with their plastic surgeon to create a customized combination of surgical and non-surgical techniques that address their unique aesthetic needs and multiple concerns at once.
Overall Rejuvenation
By correcting different areas of the body in the same surgical session, better harmony is achieved between the anatomical features of the face and body, resulting in an overall younger appearance.
Long-Lasting Youth
The permanence of the results from the menopause makeover procedures fully rewards the patient. Although time will continue to affect the face and body, aesthetic plastic surgery slows this process, helping women maintain their youthful appearance.
Increased Energy and Confidence
A transformed body image boosts confidence and self-esteem. After recovery, women are filled with energy and optimism, presenting themselves more confidently, projecting positive emotional messages, which has a significant impact on their mood and relationships.
Improved Quality of Life
The improvement of physical and emotional well-being, resolution of functional issues, easier daily routines, and enhanced sociability that come with a menopause makeover contribute to a healthier, more active, and higher-quality life.
Menopause is not an end but a new chapter in a woman’s life, and modern aesthetic plastic surgery is here to help her remain beautiful and radiant, always with natural results and without exaggeration!
