Menopause brings major changes to a woman's body, including noticeable effects on the skin.
As estrogen levels decrease, signs of aging throughout the face and body become more prominent, often marked by skin laxity, wrinkles, and volume loss.
At West End Plastic Surgery in Washington, D.C., we believe beauty and confidence don’t end with menopause—they evolve. Our Menopause Makeover addresses these changes through customized body and facial treatments designed for the many women navigating the changes that come with midlife. Our board-certified plastic surgeons and aesthetic specialists combine surgical techniques and cutting-edge non-surgical treatments to rejuvenate the face and body and restore a youthful look.


During menopause, hormonal shifts, particularly the loss of estrogen, lead to changes in the skin's structure and texture.
These shifts result in sagging, dryness, and a loss of elasticity. Estrogen is essential to collagen production, and as levels decrease, the skin loses its natural firmness and smoothness.
This process can lead to deeper wrinkles, looser skin, and a lack of volume, especially around the cheeks, jawline, and neck, as well as excess body fat and a crepey appearance in various areas of the body. Recognizing the difference between pre- and post-menopausal skin aging can help select the most effective treatment.
Our Menopause Makeover delivers a tailored combination of procedures to help you reclaim your youthful body shape and facial appearance with the help of our trusted plastic surgeons.
A Menopause Makeover at West End Plastic Surgery is not a single procedure, but a comprehensive, personalized plan to address cosmetic menopause symptoms.

A menopause makeover is ideal for women who are experiencing visible signs of aging related to hormonal changes and want to look refreshed while still feeling like themselves. Candidates may notice facial volume loss, sagging skin, or stubborn fat that has appeared or become more resistant to change during menopause. This customized approach is well-suited for women who are healthy enough for elective procedures, have realistic expectations, and are looking for natural-looking results that align with their age and lifestyle. Whether you're seeking subtle enhancements or more noticeable rejuvenation, a menopause makeover can help you feel more confident in this new phase of life.

Recovery from surgical procedures like facelifts can take several weeks, with results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides. Non-surgical treatments typically involve minimal downtime. Maintaining results often requires a combination of proper skin care and periodic touch-ups. Post-treatment skincare routines are crucial for keeping the skin hydrated and protected. Patients consistently report looking more refreshed, vibrant, and confident, without appearing overdone.
