Have Change-of-Life Blues? Here’s What a Menopause Makeover Can Do for You
Menopause: It’s something every woman must navigate, but it’s rarely something women look forward to. Physical challenges, from intrusive hot flashes to unwanted changes in the face and figure, may make you feel less-than-excited about this life transition.
At Greenwald Plastic Surgery in NYC, Westchester County, and Fairfield County, elite board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Greenwald designed a set of procedures called menopause makeover based on his deep understanding of the challenges of menopause.
These procedures can address unwanted physical changes in the body and face while lifting your spirits so you can face menopause fearlessly and confidently.
If you’re facing the change-of-life blues, here’s what a menopause makeover can do for you.
What is a Menopause Makeover?
A menopause makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that targets multiple areas of the body affected by menopause. This customized combination of procedures can revitalize your face and body.
What Procedures Does a Menopause Makeover Include?
Menopause makeovers are unique to each woman and her areas of concern. Common procedures are:
Tummy Tuck
Declining estrogen levels, along with slower metabolism and, often, a decrease in physical activity, cause increased belly fat during menopause. This might leave you feeling distressed by the appearance of your abdomen.
Dr. Greenwald removes extra skin and fat in a tummy tuck while tightening the abdominal support muscles, giving you a flatter belly and slimmer silhouette.
Breast Lift
Estrogen loss causes breast gland shrinkage and sagging during menopause. A breast lift can move breast tissue higher and resize and reposition nipples for a youthful look.
Some volume loss is normal during breast lift. If you want more volume, Dr. Greenwald may recommend breast implants during your breast lift.
Liposuction
Unfortunately, weight gain isn’t limited to the belly area during menopause. Other areas like the hips, thighs, and upper arms (“bat wings”) can also develop stubborn fat pockets that don’t improve with diet and exercise.
With liposuction, Dr. Greenwald can sculpt those and other areas, removing the extra fat and creating the defined contours you want.
Fat Transfer
Instead of disposing of fat from liposuction, Dr. Greenwald can use it to improve volume in certain areas.
For example, many women experience decreased facial volume as they age, particularly in the cheeks and lips. With fat transfer, Dr. Greenwald purifies your fat and injects it precisely where needed. Fat transfer isn’t just for the face. If you’d like a fuller butt, fat transfer can give you that (aka a Brazilian butt lift).
