Combination Surgery

Menopause makeovers are generally designed to be as comfortable as possible, though some discomfort is normal. The procedures involved, such as facelifts, tummy tucks, and breast lifts, are performed under anesthesia so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Afterward, you may experience some soreness, swelling, or bruising, but these are usually manageable with prescribed pain relief and proper care. Most patients find that any discomfort is outweighed by the benefits of their enhanced appearance and boosted confidence. The team will closely monitor your recovery experience to ensure you’re comfortable and well-supported throughout the process.

For a menopause makeover, you can expect several appointments to ensure a smooth process and successful outcome. Initially, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Sitapara to discuss your goals, review your health history, and plan your personalized makeover. After your consultation, you’ll schedule pre-operative appointments for any necessary tests or evaluations.

On the day of your surgery, you’ll have a pre-op visit to go over the final details and ensure everything is set. Post-surgery, you’ll have follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery, address any concerns, and make adjustments if needed. The exact number of appointments can vary based on your individual treatment plan and recovery progress, but typically, you’ll have at least five visits to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Seeing results from your menopause makeover is an exciting journey! While you’ll notice initial changes soon after your surgery, it typically takes a few months to see the final results fully. Swelling and bruising will subside over the first few weeks, with significant improvements visible in 2 to 3 months. The complete, refined results, including settling any residual swelling and the final contour of your new look, can take up to a year. Patience is key, but each day brings you closer to enjoying your rejuvenated appearance and renewed confidence!

Certainly! A menopause makeover can be beautifully enhanced by combining various procedures to achieve a comprehensive transformation. In addition to core surgeries like a facelift, tummy tuck, or breast lift, you can also include non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX, microneedling, dermal fillers, and chemical peels. These options can help smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, and refresh your appearance. Dr. Sitapara can create a personalized treatment plan that blends these procedures to enhance your overall look and boost your confidence, all tailored to your unique goals and needs.

Menopause makeover surgery, like any significant cosmetic procedure, comes with some risks. While rare, potential risks include:

• Infection: As with any surgery, there’s a risk of infection, which can be managed with antibiotics and proper care. Antibiotics are given through your IV during your surgery to decrease the likelihood of infection.
• Bleeding: Some bleeding during or after surgery is normal, but excessive bleeding might require additional intervention.
• Scarring: Though efforts are made to minimize scars, they can occur. Dr. Sitapara’s expertise helps ensure that any scarring is as minimal and discreet as possible.
• Anesthesia complications: Although reactions to anesthesia are rare, they can occur. Our center only utilizes board-certified Anesthesiologists and does not use nurse anesthetists. The team will monitor you closely to prevent issues.
• Swelling and bruising: Expect some swelling and bruising post-surgery, which usually resolves over time.
• Changes in sensation: Temporary numbness or altered sensation in the treated areas can occur, but they generally improve as you heal.
• Unrealistic expectations: It’s crucial to have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Dr. Sitapara will discuss what can be achieved and address any concerns.
• Healing issues: Some individuals may experience delayed healing or other issues managed with follow-up care.

While these risks are part of any surgery, Dr. Sitapara’s expertise and your adherence to post-operative care can significantly mitigate them, leading to a satisfying and successful makeover.
