I had a hysterectomy but kept my ovaries when I was 40, I'm now 53 and am still looking okay,maybe if your Mums having a total hysterectomy that could cause a hormone imbalance and cause premature ageing but I'm sure the doctors will have all that in check.
Tell your Mum not to worry, and depending on why she's having the op it will probably be the best thing for her in the long run, and think of the money she'll save lol, I've never regretted it, wish her well and a speedy recovery.

It may do, no hard and fast rule as far as I know, but consider the implications of a dodgy menstrual cycle and the effects of that on the body. Slightly old skin against a body that cant take in anymore is not really a difficult decision, make up cant be used on the inside, and what goes on inside reflects on the outside. Your mum needs to discuss this with the doctor. If it does age her skin then spend a few bucks or pounds and get a professional beautician to help with a suitable make-up regime, seriously look at Ann Robinson she looks great for her age and she achieves that mainly through make-up. And what better way to cheer her up than to have a professional make-over!

No, not at all! I had to have an emergency hysterectomy at the age of 29. I'm 36 now. My skin is just fine. No color change, no extra wrinkles, no saging. That'll come in 30 years, right? lol Tell your mom not to worry. If they have to remove her ovaries, then she will be post menaposal. She might have to take hormone pills or just go through "the change" naturally. Have her talk with her doctor about this.

i think you had your ovaries bumped off on the time of the hysterectomy? If definite, and not doing HRT, definite, you will coach signs and indicators of turning out to be older. Ask your wellbeing care provider if there is a few HRT that may not risky - you're so youthful to be having those concerns.

It will age the skin of her flower, but not of much anywhere else. If she needs it, don't worry about such trivial matters grasshopper. Just be there for her and support her. Her flower is not unlike that of a wild sunflower. In time all must wither.

Hypoestrogenism does age her skin (too low estrogen) and that would happen if they remove her ovaries too.
The removal of the womb itself (leaving one ovary at least) will not age her more.

it strips your body of natural hormones so a lack of them may age you if that is how your body personally responds to something ike that. everyone i know of who had this procedure had to start taking estragen pills to balance out but its not qutie the same as the real thing.
