Helping beauty along in old age: Here explains Dr.
Caroline Kim on what looks natural and what you shouldn't do.
Sometimes strokes of fate are the trigger.
Much more often, however, women and increasingly men over the age of 70 or 80 want to look fresher and younger.
"Because that corresponds exactly to her active, much younger attitude to life," explains Dr.
Caroline Kim, specialist in plastic surgery with her own practice at the Bavariaring in Munich.
It's not about the perfect body or the perfect face.
"It's about fixing small imperfections and emphasizing assets in a natural way," explains Dr.

Caroline Kim: "Correction should never look unnatural"
“The older a person is, the more reserved and targeted the correction should be.
It must never appear unnatural,” explains the surgeon.
Another important requirement is good health, which is checked before each procedure.
The success stories of three courageous Munich seniors also prove how great the results can look.
Here are six cosmetic procedures to check:
1. Lip and eye wrinkles
Smoothing out every little wrinkle looks unnatural in older people.
A few laugh lines, on the other hand, have a very sympathetic effect.
Deep lip lines can Dr.
Smooth Kim with hyaluronic acid without changing the volume of the lips: "It immediately looks much fresher."
2. Upper eyelid tightening
An outpatient procedure lasting about an hour with a great effect.
In doing so, Dr.
Kim excess skin and fatty tissue.
The stitches are removed after nine days.
From then on you are socially acceptable again.
The procedure is also unproblematic for older people.

There is Dr.
Kim very carefully, as elasticity decreases with age: "Here I can approach it less invasively from the inside to reduce fat deposits." At the same time, bags under the eyes and dark circles under the eyes can also be reduced.
4. Frown lines and forehead lines
Wrinkles between the eyes and forehead lines make the face look tired.
These areas can be smoothed out with a botulinum injection: "It looks very natural."
5. Corners of the mouth and cheeks
When the connective tissue loses substance and firmness and the cheeks sag, these wrinkles form.
On the other hand, special fillers are injected under the skin in the corners of the mouth and chin to compensate for the loss of volume due to natural bone loss.
For cheek wrinkles, Dr.
Kim uses softer hyaluron fillers for the natural effect - also because skin that thins with age tends to bruise.
"With a smooth forehead and beautiful eyes, you can easily distract yourself from sagging cheeks," recommends the expert.
6. Mini facelift at puppet furrows
In some cases, a surgical facelift is an option to reduce excess skin and tissue (double chin) on the face and neck and to smooth out deeper wrinkles.
Alternatively, Dr.
Kim offers a mini facelift that improves the contour of the cheeks.
