“Doctor, after menopause, I felt like my face just collapsed overnight.” This is a common concern many patients share when they visit my clinic. But what is the scientific reason behind this sudden change?
During menopause, the significant drop in estrogen levels leads to a real biological transformation of the facial structures:
- Loss of Density: A sharp decline in collagen and elastin production.
- Volume Depletion: The loss of subcutaneous fat that acts as the face’s natural support.
- Ligament Laxity: The “anchors” that hold skin and muscles to the bone structure weaken, leading to a visible descent in the malar (cheek) and neck areas.
In the video below, I explain why “overfilling” the face with traditional fillers is not the answer. To look younger, we shouldn’t aim for a “swollen” look, but for a structured, regenerated one.
A tailored approach to post-menopausal rejuvenation
Rather than simply filling wrinkles, Dr. Alessandro Gennai’s method focuses on biological restoration and vertical repositioning:
- Autologous Regeneration: Using the SEFFILLER® technique, we harness your own regenerative cells to stimulate new tissue growth and improve skin quality.
- Structural Lift: To address sagging without visible scars, the Endoscopic Face Lift (MIVEL) allows for a deep repositioning of the tissues, restoring the “V-shape” of youth.
- Definition: For a comprehensive result, focusing on the Neck Lift and the Foxy Eyes technique can redefine the jawline and the upper third of the face.
