At the Beauty Talk 2019 at the FritzsFrauFranzi restaurant, host Petra Dieners discussed trends, responsibility, and new opportunities in aesthetics with industry experts. Dr. Karl Schuhmann contributed the perspective of plastic surgery – with a clear focus on quality and lasting results rather than short-lived hypes.
What shaped classic surgery in 2019
Not every trend is new: breast surgery, liposuction, and abdominoplasty have been among the most sought-after procedures for years. More important than constant innovation is the reliability of the method, Dr. Schuhmann emphasises. Modern implants, precise planning, and stable aftercare produce results that support the patients' lifestyle.

Gentle treatments on the rise
At the same time, demand for non-operative solutions is growing. Combinations of radiofrequency, ultrasound, and high-quality fillers smooth the skin, define contours, and extend surgical results. Increasingly popular: bespoke treatment plans built up in stages with time for recovery in between.

Why men are listening too
The talk made it clear: men are long since part of the aesthetics scene. From gynaecomastia surgery to skin-rejuvenating treatments – many want to look fresher without appearing artificial. Dr. Schuhmann recommends measured dosages, clear communication, and a holistic review of lifestyle.
Salon atmosphere with substance
Between culinary highlights and open discussion, a blend of lifestyle and expertise emerged. The conclusion: trends are catalysts, but they do not replace individual consultation. What remains decisive is a team of experts who accompany patients through the entire process – from prevention through treatment to long-term care.
