You may have heard of the “mommy makeover” or even the “grandma makeover,” but how about the latest “menopause makeover?” Truthfully, all of these terms can be used to describe the same thing: a customized set of cosmetic procedures aimed at restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance. So-called menopause makeovers have become a trending term as more and more women in their 40s and 50s opt for cosmetic surgery to look as energetic and youthful as they feel.
Take a closer look at what these types of makeovers typically include and how to determine if you could be a good candidate for one yourself.
What’s the Best Age for a “Menopause Makeover”?
Just like with mommy makeovers, there is no single “best” age to get a “menopause makeover.” However, this term does tend to describe a specific age group of women who are finished having children and may be beginning to see more pronounced signs of aging due to natural changes to hormone levels before and during menopause. While this age group generally includes women in their 40s and 50s, women of virtually any age could be good candidates for cosmetic surgery.
Most Popular Cosmetic Surgeries after 50
One of the best things about a mommy, granny or menopause makeover is the ability to completely customize the procedure based on your unique needs and goals. Some of the most common cosmetic surgeries that women include in a menopause makeover are:
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Drooping or sagging eyelids and eye-area wrinkles can create a tired or aged appearance, making eyelid surgery one of the most popular procedures among this age group.
- Facelift /neck Lift. Similarly, other signs of facial aging like lines, wrinkles and loose skin can become more pronounced with hormonal shifts at menopause. A facelift / neck lift can restore a more radiant and youthful appearance to the face and tighten the “turkey neck” that makes people look older than they are.
- Breast lift/augmentation. A breast lift with or without augmentation can tighten and lift drooping breasts, while adding implants can add a boost of volume.
- Body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction can address loose skin and stubborn fat, two common cosmetic concerns at this stage of life for many women.
