    Marlene Dietrich’s Beauty Secrets

     

    We all remember Marlene Dietrich. Big, smoky eyes, incredible cheekbones and a beautiful unique face. Few of us are familiar though with her beauty secrets.

    In 1944, when Marlene played in Kismet, she was 43.  At that time the surgical face lift was still in its early stages.

    With her unusual creativity, the actress invented her own nonsurgical face lift. She pulled and pinned back thin strands of hair, taped her skin with surgical tape and covered the tape with a wig.

    Her imagination did not stop here. A few years later, while in her 50ies, she started to use a very thin gold chain under her chin and behind her ears to lift the chin. Her beauty tricks were successful because Marlene’s images from that period are as youthful as they were in the earlier stages of her career.

    Today the noninvasive face lift options are more diverse. Luckily women can choose efficient and longer lasting forms of nonsurgical face lift without taping their skin or using hairpins.

    Aesthetic Medicine provides a large variety of noninvasive procedures addressing all areas and problems of the face. The results are lasting shorter than the surgical face lift but definitely longer than Marlene Dietrich’s beauty tricks!

    Nefertiti’s bust – an iconic image

     

    Nefertiti is one of the most sophisticated and elegant beauties in the history.

    The most attractive features of her bust are her neck and chin. Nefertiti has an elongated neck. The muscles of her neck create arches  to support the chin.

    Although Nefertiti’s neck is thin, there is a perfect balance between the neckline and the upper part of the head.

    Her jawline is strikingly well defined and yet feminine, and her cheekbones are prominent. The forehead is tall with wide eyes and long, arched eyebrows.

    The height of her neck supports well the proportions of  her face and her voluminous hairdo. The entire bust is perfectly contained in a V shape.

     

    Today’s woman has many options to subtly alter her neck and chin without surgery.

    Botox and fillers can lift the lower jaw area. Kybella and fat freezing can treat the excess of fat under the chin. These procedures have modest results and are satisfactory only in certain cases.

    Smart Lipo or laser liposuction is the best procedure available for creating an elegant and well defined neck and jawline.

    In our practice we use Smart Lipo

    for neck treatments. It removes the fat and tightens skin under the chin and jaw.  There is very little or no down time and the results are permanent.
