Dr Michaela Montanari

🎙️ 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

10 years with Aleks – what a milestone! 💙 Dear Aleks, Exactly ten years ago today, you joined our team – and ever since, it’s been impossible to imagine our daily practice without you.

We look forward to many more years together, wonderful experiences, fulfilled wishes and unforgettable team moments. 💙   #10Years #StaffAnniversary #TeamMontanari #UnforgettableMoments #TogetherIt’sBest

💉 Less is more. Botulinum toxin often faces preconceptions: stiff faces, a lack of facial expression or an „artificial“ look. Yet this is precisely where the crucial difference lies. It is not the maximum amount of active ingredient that ensures a good result – but the correct dosage, tailored to your individual facial expressions, your anatomy and your personal preferences. The aim of modern botulinum toxin treatment is not to alter your facial features. On the contrary: your natural radiance should be preserved. You should still be able to laugh, look surprised or furrow your brow – just in a more harmonious and relaxed way. ☝🏻Naturalness instead of a ‘mask-like’ effect. 👉🏻Movement instead of stiff facial expressions.
👍🏻Less is often more. That’s why, here at Villa Krockhaus, a good treatment always begins with a detailed analysis of your facial expressions and a personalised consultation. Because every face is unique – and the treatment should be just as individual.   #Botox #Botulinum toxin #Natural look #Aesthetic medicine #Facial expressions

☀️ Stay cool on hot days – our top heat-beating tips Summer is here, temperatures are rising, and not everyone’s body copes well with the height of summer. But with a few simple tricks, you can cope much better with the heat over the coming days:   💧 1. Stay hydrated. Drink regularly – ideally water or unsweetened tea. If you’re sweating a lot, make sure you’re getting enough electrolytes too. 🌬️ 2. Get the air moving A fan, hand fan or a light breeze provides a pleasant cooling effect on the skin through evaporation. 🕶️ 3. Choose shade over sun Avoid direct sunlight where possible, wear light-coloured clothing and don’t forget your sun cream. 🦶 4. Cold water soaks A bucket, laundry basket or bowl of cold water for your feet and lower legs often works wonders. 🧊 5. Cool your pulse points Cool, damp cloths or sweatbands on your wrists, neck or the backs of your knees help your body release heat more quickly. 🥗 6. Eat light meals Watermelon, cucumber, salads and the like put less strain on the circulatory system than heavy meals. 🏠 7. Air the house in the morning, keep it dark during the day Make the most of the fresh air in the early morning and keep windows and shutters closed during the day. 😴 8. Sleep cool Light bed linen, lukewarm showers before bed and a well-ventilated bedroom can make the night much more comfortable. ✨ What’s your personal top tip for beating the heat?

✨💉Bioremodelling requires experience. This is because modern regenerative treatment approaches involve far more than simply applying a single product. The key factors are the correct indication, a deep understanding of tissue structures, and the individual combination of different procedures. That is why Dr Michaela Montanari, together with her colleague Dr Juri Huber-Vorländer, hosted a live webinar for IBSA Derma on the topic „From Skin Quality to Tissue Remodelling – Innovative Combination Approaches“.   The focus was on how skin quality, tissue structure and natural radiance can be improved in the long term – not through alteration, but by specifically supporting the body’s own regenerative processes. For Dr Montanari, this is a key component of modern aesthetic medicine: moving away from short-term effects towards sustainable treatment approaches that prioritise patients’ individual needs and enable natural, harmonious results.   Many thanks to the team at @ibsa_derma_germany, including @andreaforch_ibsaderma and @baral.joscha, for their trust, and to all participants for the fascinating professional exchange. *Advertisement due to brand mention*   #Bioremodelling #SkinQuality #Aesthetics #AestheticMedicine #ibsa

There is no standing still in medicine – and certainly not in aesthetic and plastic surgery. That is why Dr Michaela Montanari attended the Munich Face course „Facelift Basics & Update“ last weekend, led by Prof. Dr Magnus Noah and Dr Jens Altmann. The focus was on current developments in modern facelift surgery – from established SMAS techniques to modern deep-plane concepts – as well as practical exercises and intensive professional exchange with renowned colleagues. Knowledge is constantly evolving, particularly in facial surgery. New scientific findings, technical developments and different surgical approaches make regular exchange and discussion with like-minded specialist colleagues an absolute must. Even after many years of experience in aesthetic and plastic facial surgery, continuing professional development is therefore a matter of course for Dr Montanari. After all, modern medicine is not just about experience, but also the willingness to continually expand existing knowledge and critically evaluate new ideas – always with the aim of offering patients the best possible and individually tailored treatment. Thanks to Prof. Dr Thilo Schenck @plastic_surgery_munich and his team at Munich Face, as well as the two speakers @faceliftdoc and @dr.jensaltmann for the fascinating insights and valuable professional exchange. #Facelift #FacialSurgery #PlasticSurgery #ContinuingEducation MichaelaMontanari
