Menopause is a transformative phase in a woman’s life, marked by significant hormonal shifts that often lead to changes in the body, skin, and overall appearance. For many women, these changes include weight gain, sagging skin, loss of breast volume, and decreased muscle tone. As hormonal changes during menopause affect the body’s ability to maintain muscle tone and skin elasticity, many women feel their appearance no longer reflects their energy and vitality. 

The Menopause Makeover at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is designed to address these concerns, helping women regain their youthful contours and confidence during and after menopause.

For many women, a Menopause Makeover is not just about aesthetic improvements it’s about revitalizing self-confidence, enhancing comfort, and improving quality of life. By addressing areas of concern such as loose skin, drooping breasts, stubborn fat pockets, facial aging, vaginal changes, and hair loss, the modern approach at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology empowers women to embrace this stage of life and achieve a renewed sense of self-assurance.

Common procedures included in a Menopause Makeover are:

• Breast Lift with or without Augmentation or Breast Reduction with or without Augmentation to reposition and recontour breasts to a more youthful shape, restore lost volume, and correct sagging.

• Tummy Tuck to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin and fat, addressing the common issue of a softer, fuller, less toned midsection.

• Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits that often accumulate during menopause, particularly around the waist, hips, and thighs, which cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone.

• Facial Rejuvenation includes treatments such as facelifts, mini facelifts, neck lifts, facial fat transfer, cosmetic injectables, and laser skin resurfacing to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots.

• Vaginal Rejuvenation includes procedures such as labiaplasty to address discomfort during physical activities or intercourse, itching, irritation, or asymmetry of the labia minora.

• Hair Restoration restores thinning hair in a natural way, utilizing the patient’s own organic materials. PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections stimulate hair follicles to enter the growth phase resulting in a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing head of hair.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon with a renowned reputation for combining advanced surgical techniques with cutting-edge, non-surgical treatments, myself along with my award-winning team of plastic and reconstructive surgeons often hear concerns about the face, breasts, and body, as well as skin and hair health, during and after menopause. Correcting areas of discomfort, such as sagging breasts, with a Breast Lift or Breast Reduction is truly life-changing for our patients. Many women come to us later in life seeking breast reduction surgery not only for cosmetic reasons but to address a range of physical concerns, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and even breathing difficulties. In some cases, a patient’s insurance plan may cover costs for breast reduction or tummy tuck surgery to improve  the patient’s quality of life.

We hear from our patients that they wish they hadn’t waited. Correcting the areas most affected results in improved health, vitality, and a greater sense of self. Our patients report looking and feeling better about themselves, which leads to a more rewarding life. They share that their results have inspired them to get back into the dating scene or apply for a new job or promotion. It’s never too early or too late to make these improvements and regain a more youthful appearance. It is amazing how important these enhancements can be to a person’s state of mind.
