You’ve likely heard of a Mommy Makeover–but have you heard of a Menopause Makeover? As we age, our bodies undergo numerous changes, and menopause marks one of the most significant hormonal shifts in a woman’s life. Say hello to the Menopause Makeover, the ultimate power move for women embracing their fabulous fifties and beyond.
Remember when puberty hit and suddenly you were playing a whole new ballgame? Well, menopause is like puberty’s sassy older sister – she’s got some tricks up her sleeve, and not all of them are welcome! The lack of estrogen that comes with menopause signifies a major hormonal event for mature women. While Mommy Makeovers are typically performed for women who are looking to reverse some of the body altering effects of pregnancy, Menopause Makeovers are intended for women who are looking to take back control of their cosmetic decisions as mature women. The treatments and procedures that can be part of a Menopause Makeover are designed to help women feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies as they enter this new phase of life.
Let’s face it – menopause can sometimes feel like your body’s throwing a rebellion. Hot flashes, mood swings, and suddenly your favorite jeans are giving you the cold shoulder. But who says you have to sit back and let menopause run the show? Menopause brings about significant hormonal changes that can affect a woman’s body and face and exacerbate signs of aging. The lack of estrogen that comes with menopause can bring about changes our patients want to reverse, taking back control to age beautifully.
Some women find that the physical changes that accompany menopause can impact their self-esteem and overall quality of life. A Menopause Makeover can address these concerns, helping women to feel more like themselves again.
The decisions you made about your body in your 30s and 40s might not match the aesthetic you’re looking to move into in this next phase of life. We’ll often see a woman come to us after having the same breast implants for 20-30 years, now looking for a different look to age gracefully into her 60s and 70s. Many mature women wish to update their implants or breast shape to one that better suits their current lifestyle. They may also opt for smaller implants, a breast reduction, or a breast lift to restore a more youthful shape.
With the rise of dating shows like The Golden Bachelor highlighting beautiful women over 60 looking for love—and with a rise in mature actresses like Meryl Streep in starring roles, current popular culture reflects an increasing push to celebrate beauty and adventure at every age. Over the past decade, we’ve seen a change in how women approach these Menopause Makeovers and surgeries over 50. Many of our patients who had breast augmentations in their 30s or 40s are now opting for a different look as they gracefully age into their 60s and 70s. This shift reflects a desire to age naturally while still maintaining a refreshed appearance. It’s also part of a growing shift to celebrate feeling beautiful, sexy, and natural at any age. Mature women are in the driver’s seat more than ever before
Research supports the shift we’re seeing too; according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, women in their perimenopausal years—particularly older millennials and Gen Xers aged 40 to 54—are the leading demographic for cosmetic procedures. These women often prefer to make gradual changes, feeling less constrained by social judgments and more empowered by the information and options available to them. With the ability to make your surgical and treatment results more natural-looking than ever before, we’re passionate about bringing you the results that let you celebrate this next chapter feeling like your best self.
We believe in empowering women to make choices that help them feel their best at every stage of life. Whether you’re considering a single procedure or a full Menopause Makeover, our team is here to guide you through your options and help you achieve your goals.
