New Delhi: A term called ‘mommy makeover’ is quite popular in today’s time, but have you heard of the term Menopause Makeover? Well, A menopause makeover focusses on the changes in a woman’s body that occurs with ageing. This combination of the treatment is becoming popular among women in their 40s and 50s who may seek for a refreshed look or appearance.
Growing public awareness, accessibility, and technological advancements have led to a notable uptrend in plastic surgery procedures in modern India. More fascinating is the fact that an increasing number of people will be undergoing cosmetic surgery in 2024.
Dr Swapna Athavale, Consultant – Plastic Surgery, Jupiter Hospital, Pune shared with News9, “The popular plastic surgery procedures that are currently in demand and these procedures are driven by several factors, such as social media, celebrity endorsements, and technological advancements in surgery, which all contribute to the changing expectations and preferences of patients seeking plastic surgery.”
Menopause Makeover
Nowadays, women in their 40s and 50s are choosing more subtle improvements than in the past. According to Dr Athavale, “Body contouring procedures like breast lifts, stomach tucks, face lifts, vaginal rejuvenation, and blepharoplasty are part of the menopausal makeover, which provides a rejuvenating result. Modern techniques help to get amazing results for body contouring operations that comprise liposuction for shaping the arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs. With reduced stress and recovery time, the cutting-edge VASER 4D liposuction helps define the muscles and accentuate the washboard/six-pack abs. Furthermore, the maximum benefits of VASER may be realised by patients who want more refined outcomes by getting rid of fibrous fat from the thighs, love handles, neck, and chin.”
Some of common procedures followed are:
Liposuction: Despite being used to help individuals with type 2 diabetes lose a few pounds, Ozempic injections do not miraculously address the issue of persistent fat deposits. Targeted liposuction is increasingly becoming common in plastic surgery.
Neck lift, cheek lift, and midfacelift: Mini facelifts are popular because people prefer short shots and speedier recovery times. Without the difficulties of a standard facelift, a mid-facelift helps restore the youthful posture of the cheek and eye regions. Additionally, a mid-facelift or facelift can be used to provide a neck lift; this has to be discussed with your plastic surgeon during the initial appointment.
Combining breast lift with augmentation: Nowadays, people want their breasts to be medium yet well-contoured and elevated. Therefore, combining breast lifts with breast implants for “large B, small C” cup sizes highlight the changing trends in the cosmetic surgery environment in the new India. This is an interesting change for lift and boosts combined after menopause. Thankfully, these patterns are evolving globally, irrespective of regional barriers.
Breast lift: By removing excess drooping skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, it softly but effectively redefines femininity. To get a proportionate size, breast reduction involves removing extra skin, glandular tissue, and fat.
Breast implants: As part of the healing process following cancer treatment, silicone or saline breast implants can be used to increase breast size, improve symmetry, repair abnormalities, or reconstruct the breasts following a mastectomy.
Reduction/ Gynecomastia: Surgical excision reduces the size of male breasts and creates a more manly chest profile for men who have extra breast tissue that causes them discomfort and embarrassment.
Chin Implants with jawline liposuction: Younger patients are more interested in sculpting rather than in lifting, with a narrow, V-shaped jawline. Therefore, chin liposuction aids in restoring jawline definition. Additionally, chin implants combined with liposuction offer a complete solution for achieving a heart-shaped face.
Blepharoplasty/eye lift enhances side vision, minimises bagginess on the lower eyelid, and removes extra skin from the upper eyelids.
