Perhaps you’re familiar with the term ‘mommy makeover’ in the context of plastic surgery. This procedure involves combining various treatments to restore pre-pregnancy and pre-baby body contours. The concept of addressing multiple body areas through combined procedures has gained popularity, extending beyond moms to include ‘daddy makeovers’ and now, ‘granny’ or ‘grandmother makeovers.’ Similar to a mommy makeover, a granny makeover aims to address age-related changes in the body. Despite feeling young at heart, opting for a granny makeover can help rejuvenate your appearance as well.
What Is a Granny Makeover?
A granny makeover is a customized selection of cosmetic surgeries designed to help more seasoned women look as young as they feel. Tailored to women over 50, it addresses common cosmetic concerns while being mindful of recovery times for older individuals. A granny makeover can include multiple surgical procedures as well as non-surgical options and can address multiple areas of the body, such as the waistline and the face.
Common Procedures in a Granny Makeover
Every granny makeover is unique as each person’s makeover goals are different. Common procedures included in a granny makeover can include:
- Facelift
- Brow lifts
- Eyelid surgery
- Chin and cheek augmentation
- Lip augmentation
- Dermal fillers or BOTOX
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
- Arm lift
- Thigh lift
Things to Consider
A granny makeover can be a major surgical procedure and you must prepare for that. If you are over 50, chances are you are not going to recover as quickly as you did in your youth. This extended recovery period is something you need to take into consideration when planning your granny makeover. You will also want to ensure that you are in optimal health and not taking any medications that could affect your body’s ability to heal. When meeting with your plastic surgeon, it is important to address these potential complications.
Surgery Isn’t the Only Option
As we have mentioned, surgical procedures are not your only option for a granny makeover. Thanks to advances in skincare products, many women already fight off the aging process daily. In this case, med spa treatments, such as dermal fillers, BOTOX, and skin resurfacing can help address lines and wrinkles while options like CoolSculpting can help deliver body contouring without any downtime.
