Dr Michaela Montanari

✨ We’re kicking off the new week with lots of love! 🤍 Our dear Marie Friedrich celebrated her very special day on Friday, said ‘I do’, and is now a Biegota.💍 It was a great pleasure for us to be able to accompany her on her journey into this new chapter of her life and to share this special moment with her. Dear Marie, we wish you and Jaeson all the happiness in the world from the bottom of our hearts – a marriage full of love, trust, good health, shared adventures and unforgettable moments. May the smiles you had on your faces that day stay with you for the rest of your lives. 💙 We’re already looking forward to welcoming you to the team under your new surname – but for now, enjoy your time together as a newlywed couple! 🥂✨ #JustMarried #TeamMontanari #MomentsFromTheHeart #WeddingVibes #PraxisFamily

💫Sharing knowledge. Passing on experience. Yesterday, Dr Michaela Montanari had the opportunity to lead a workshop in Dortmund for fellow doctors on the topic of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) – a biostimulator she has been working with for many years as a trainer and on which she regularly speaks at national and international conferences, workshops and summits. In addition to the theory, the focus was primarily on practical application, different injection techniques and the targeted use of the treatment in various areas. Topics covered in the workshop:
✔️ Mechanism of action and material properties of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) ✔️ Indications and patient selection ✔️ Injection techniques and safe application ✔️ Use on the face for contouring, stabilisation and improvement of skin quality
✔️ Treatment of the neck and décolleté to improve skin texture and elasticity ✔️ Hand rejuvenation for volume loss and visible tendons and veins ✔️ Combination with other treatment approaches Calcium hydroxylapatite is one of the so-called biostimulators. Not only does it provide immediate structural support to the tissue, but it also stimulates the body’s own collagen production. This enables long-term improvements in skin quality, firmness and elasticity – with a natural-looking result. Many thanks to all participants for the in-depth professional discussion and the great interest shown!   @aesthetik.botschafter @doc_suleyman @medialkentt #Calcium hydroxylapatite #Biostimulation #Aesthetic medicine #Medical education #Injectables

☀️ 34 degrees. A light-coloured shirt. That summer dress. And already the first sweat patch? Sweating is vital – after all, it’s how our bodies regulate their temperature. But in summer in particular, many people find visible sweat patches under their armpits unpleasant or distressing. This does not necessarily mean they have pathological hyperhidrosis. High temperatures, stress or excitement alone can increase sweating. For people who wish to significantly reduce underarm sweating over several months, treatment with botulinum toxin may be a medical option. This involves specifically blocking the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands. Sweat production decreases, whilst the body can continue to regulate its temperature via other areas. Key points at a glance: 💧 Can significantly reduce underarm sweating 💧 Effects usually noticeable after a few days 💧 Effects usually last around 4–6 months* 💧 May be an option for pathological underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) as well as for excessive sweating in everyday life that is perceived as bothersome Particularly now during the summer months, many patients approach us about this issue – whether it’s ahead of a holiday, a wedding, important work commitments or simply to feel more at ease in everyday life. We’d be happy to discuss whether treatment is appropriate for your individual case during a personal consultation. *The duration of the effect may vary from person to person. #Hyperhidrosis #Underarm sweating #Sweating #Quality of life #Dr Michaela Montanari

„Ozempic Body“ – and what many people don’t realise: the genital area can also change. When we talk about the so-called “Ozempic Body”, most people initially think of the face, chest or buttocks. In fact, however, significant weight loss can affect the entire body – including the female genital area. Incidentally, this is not a new phenomenon and is not limited to medicines such as Ozempic. We have been familiar with similar changes for many years following pregnancies or significant weight loss. What can happen? ▫️The labia majora may lose volume due to the loss of fatty tissue. ▫️The skin may lose its elasticity. ▫️As a result, the labia minora may appear more prominent. ▫️Some women perceive these changes as purely aesthetic, whilst others also report a change in how their body feels.   The good news is that there are various options for treating the intimate area on an individual basis – for example, with hyaluronic acid to restore volume, autologous fat, or, where medically appropriate, surgery. Which treatment is suitable always depends on your personal preferences and individual anatomy.   💙The most important thing, however, is that such changes are nothing out of the ordinary and are no cause for embarrassment. Many women experience them – it’s just that they are discussed far too rarely. In a confidential consultation, we can work out together whether there is any need for treatment at all and which options make sense for you. #Intimate surgery #Women’s health #Weight loss #Body changes #Ozempic vulva

Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. 💙 If you take a closer look around our practice, you’ll soon spot a little ritual: Marie Friedrich and Racine Hausherr surprise us almost every day with outfits that are perfectly coordinated. A coincidence? Certainly not. 😉 What we love about it is that it shows just how much joy, team spirit and attention to detail there is in our day-to-day practice life. And yet each of them remains completely true to themselves – because for us, perfect coordination doesn’t mean a uniform look, but rather personality combined with harmony. Incidentally, that’s exactly how we view our work too: every person is unique. That’s why we don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions, but rather personalised advice and treatment tailored to the individual. Marie-Luise and Racine are the first to welcome our patients with a smile, and often the last to see them off. With their warm manner, they ensure that you feel welcome from the very first moment – and, as an added bonus, their coordinated outfits regularly bring a smile to the whole team’s faces. With this in mind: we wish you a wonderful weekend! ☀️💙 #TeamMontanari #EverydayLifeAtThePractice #Teamwork #WEEKENDGREETING #VillaKrockhaus

🎙️ Mic drop – podcast in the can – and what an exciting evening! We’ve just finished recording the new episode of our DGÄPC podcast „Ungeschminkt“ – and I can already reveal that it was a discussion very close to my heart. Together with Dr Katrin Müller, Vice-President of the VDÄPC and a long-standing member of the DGÄPC, as well as Dr Mara Fischer, a member of the DGPRÄC’s extended executive board and co-initiator of FemPlastics, we discussed how plastic and aesthetic surgery is changing – and what role female doctors play in this, both today and in the future. The next generation of our speciality is becoming increasingly female. At the same time, it is no longer just about numbers. It is about different perspectives, mentoring, leadership responsibilities, work-life balance, mutual support – and ultimately about the question of how we can develop our speciality together.   „Women in plastic surgery are no longer the exception today – and that is precisely a development we should be discussing. Not to emphasise differences, but to learn from one another and shape the future of our speciality together.“   Thank you very much, Katrin and Mara, for your openness, your experiences and this inspiring conversation. I’m already looking forward to sharing the episode with you soon! 🎧 Coming soon on „Ungeschminkt“ – the DGÄPC’s podcast for aesthetic and plastic surgery   #UngeschminktPodcast #DGÄPC #PlasticSurgery #WomenInMedicine #Mentoring

Ready for the weekend!? ✨ Between operations, consultations, organisational tasks and the many decisions – big and small – that come with day-to-day practice life, there’s often little time to catch your breath. Yet rest isn’t a luxury – it’s an investment in our health, our inner balance and our wellbeing. After all, taking time out regularly gives our bodies and minds the chance to recharge. And that’s often what people see in us: true radiance doesn’t start with perfect skin, but within us – with serenity, a zest for life and the feeling of being at peace with oneself. When you feel good on the inside, it shines through on the outside too. That’s why we wish you a weekend with time for the people who do you good, for lovely moments and, above all, for yourself. Sometimes the best beauty routine is simply a conscious break. For everything else, we’ll be back for you on Monday! With that in mind: Ready for the weekend – and don’t neglect your inner glow. 💙 #Weekend #InnerBeauty #SelfCare #Health #MichaelaMontanari
