Perimenopausal Nuances in the Aging Face: A Comprehensive Perspective.

INTRODUCTION

Perimenopause accelerates facial aging through hormonal, structural, and psychosocial changes, presenting unique challenges for facial plastic surgeons.

OBJECTIVES

This viewpoint article integrates two key perspectives: (1) psychosocial impacts and patient-centered care, contributed by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and menopause specialist; and (2) hormonal influences and strategic interventions during perimenopause as a critical window for rejuvenation, contributed by Dr. Lindsey Pennington, who emphasizes integrated surgical and non-surgical approaches and notes a trend toward earlier interventions.

CONCLUSIONS

By combining Dr. Haver's insights on hormonal and emotional contexts with Dr. Pennington's clinical observations experience, and Dr. Sabrina Fabi's research on skin health and tissue regeneration, we provide a holistic framework for addressing perimenopausal facial aging.
