Dr Michaela Montanari

How much is how much? 🤔 Dr Michaela Montanari puts it to the test: is it actually possible to accurately gauge the size of a breast implant just by feeling it? 😉 For patients, the question of the right implant size is often one of the most important – and at the same time one of the most difficult – to answer before breast augmentation. „What bra size will I be afterwards?“ „How much do I need for a C-cup?“
„Is 300 grams a lot for me?“ As understandable as these questions are, an implant size cannot simply be translated into a future bra size. Implants are selected based on their volume or weight – but the final result depends on many individual factors: ▫️ Body height and proportions ▫️ Width and shape of the ribcage ▫️ Existing breast tissue – in other words, your personal „baseline“ 😉 ▫️ Skin and tissue texture ▫️ Shape and profile of the implant ▫️ And, of course, the desired result That’s why 300 grams doesn’t look the same on every woman. What looks very natural and subtle on one patient may already represent a significant change for another. The right implant size is therefore not simply a number you can pick at random. It is determined by anatomical factors, personal expectations and careful medical planning. 🎯And just how accurate is Dr Montanari at guessing implant sizes?

📸 ‘Before’ isn’t always ‘before’. ‘After’ isn’t always ‘after’. Sometimes it takes just a few seconds to realise that a supposed ‘before and after’ image raises questions. Different face shapes, lighting conditions or angles – and sometimes it even seems as though two different people are being shown. ⚠️This is precisely why we should always scrutinise images on the internet critically It is not without reason that advertising using ‘before and after’ images for medically unnecessary aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures is generally prohibited in Germany. The law aims to prevent such images from creating false expectations or leading people to make hasty decisions. In a face-to-face consultation with a doctor, however, before-and-after images can be an important tool for providing personalised information. Here, they are permitted. It is important to us to set realistic expectations and to provide transparent information about the possibilities, but also about the limitations. Not every image tells the whole story. And that is precisely why the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery should never be based on a single social media post, but on an honest consultation and medical expertise. 👉 How critically do you view before-and-after photos on social media? #PatientInformation #Facelift #SocialMedia #BeforeAndAfter #RealisticExpectations

Better late than never… 😄 Even though the German national team unfortunately ‚didn’t quite‘🤫 make it all the way to the final of the World Cup, we still had a clear winner here at the practice! 🏆 Our in-house World Cup prediction competition was a real cracker – and Lara-Marie Sonntag proved she had the best footballing instinct in the whole team. With numerous spot-on predictions, she not only secured first place but also received a certificate and the entire stake from the Montanari team. 💰👏 Congratulations, Lara-Marie! 🎉 And don’t worry, everyone else: as we all know, once the World Cup is over, it’s time for the next prediction game. Maybe someone else will pull off the big win next time. 😉⚽ #TeamMontanari #WMTippspiel #Praxisleben #Teamgeist

👁️ Drooping eyelids? When your eyes look tired even though you feel fit … An upper eyelid lift is one of the most common procedures in plastic and cosmetic surgery – and for good reason. This is because, as we age, the skin loses its elasticity. Excess skin on the upper eyelid can make your eyes look tired or sad and, in severe cases, can even restrict your field of vision.   💡 What many people don’t know: an upper eyelid lift is usually carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic. Most patients are back to their normal social lives after just a short time. ☀️ And why do so many patients opt for the procedure in the summer in particular? 😎 Quite simply: Sunglasses protect the sensitive eye area during the healing phase – and nobody notices them at this time of year anyway. At the same time, the fresh scar should be consistently protected from UV radiation. A high-quality pair of sunglasses is therefore not just a fashion accessory, but also aids the healing process.   As with any surgical procedure, the same applies here: a personalised consultation and a realistic assessment of the options are the foundation for a natural and harmonious result.   # Upper eyelid lift # Drooping eyelids # Eyelid lift # Plastic surgery # Cosmetic surgery

💫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
