Experience, Wisdom and Beauty
Life isn’t over at menopause. In fact, in many ways, it’s just begun. About 7,000 women in the U.S. per day enter this new life stage and discover all the possibilities that come with it, including a renewed energy to focus, finally, on themselves. A board-certified female plastic surgeon, Dr. Ellen Mahony believes that menopause is a liberating turning point that every woman should embrace.
Embrace the Possibilities
Dr. Mahony’s Menopause Makeover plastic surgery procedure can help to make 40 fabulous, 50 feisty and 60 scintillating! First, you and Dr. Mahony will sit down and discuss the aesthetic and confidence-boosting benefits of an eyelid lift, face lift, liquid face lift, and injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, to restore the contours and curves of your face. And no discussion of the face is complete without exploring the unique value of biologic platelet rich plasma and ALMI/Microfat transfer to restore and repair years of damage to aging, sun-damaged facial skin. She’ll also talk to you about liposuction or a tummy tuck options to refine and restore the contours of your body.
Breast Enhancements and Renewal
Many women at this time of life are also keen to restore the youthful look of their breasts. There are certainly many options to redefine your breast shape and balance your feminine silhouette including a breast lift or breast reduction. A Vampire Breast Lift® might be all you need to restore the youthful look of your cleavage without surgery! Many women are now coming in to consult with Dr. Mahony for advice on removal of old breast implants – a procedure called Explantation. The health benefits of this, particularly when it comes to removing old textured gel implants is a worthwhile discussion that Dr. Mahony has a lot of experience with.
Added Benefits
Some additional procedures that we offer for our patients in this unique time of life include labiaplasty, Vampire Wing Lift®, and The “O” Shot®. These in-office procedures not only restore the aesthetics of your vaginal area but, with The “O” Shot, can boost your sexual response. Today’s healthier lifestyles, longer lives and increasing independence mean you can redefine your sensuality and physicality. With a Menopause Makeover, you can achieve a combination of wisdom and femininity that wasn’t possible in your younger years. Welcome to your new life!
ASK DR. MAHONY
The type and number of procedures that you require will be decided after we meet each other in my office where I will see your face and body and understand what your goals are for both. Some patients seem to focus on their face more – due to personal preference or how it’s aging compared to their bodies – and some are completely the opposite. Others choose a procedure or two for both. It’s really all about how you feel and what you would like to improve after you understand the options from our consultation.
Well, we’d never recommend a diet like that regardless of your thighs – even if one high in protein is a very good start. When hormones start to change in peri- and full-blown menopause, it’s very hard, if not impossible, to exercise and diet your way to a different body shape. No woman ever voted for thickening at the waist, hip and leg line due to hormonal shifts! I think some nutritional counseling to better understand your metabolism makes sense and committing some effort to resistance exercise weekly will definitely make a difference. The tough spots, like the back-side flanks and hips are the WORST, and liposuction is a wonderful option to address those areas! Nothing feels better after 50 than removing those stubborn pockets of fat! There are more important challenges at this time in life. Why overthink the easy stuff? We’re here to help. Call us for a consultation!

FAQ'S
While we’re sure that your mother is a beauty inside and out, we understand your concern when your image of yourself starts to resemble that of someone a generation ahead of you! As women, we are going to live longer than our previous generation and historically remain more active and engaged with life. All good reasons to want to look on the outside as well as we feel on the inside. The Mommy Makeover has been popular with women who have finished with pregnancy and are pressing to get back their pregnancy body. The Menopause Makeovers can keep those of us over 45-years-old or older, as balanced and in sync on the outside as we do on the inside. After all, the aging process is different for us – our concerns are often related to aging eyelids and faces and dropping/thinning breasts. Fear not, the “clock” can be reset!
While there are many variables – and it’s not possible to stop the progression of time – here are some general guidelines: Botox and fillers in the face can last from six months to a year, depending on your unique physiology. It is also possible to obtain very long-lasting results from a breast lift or reduction. That being said, significant weight gain or loss, pregnancy or breastfeeding after a breast lift or reduction can impact the long-term results.
