Carmen Geiss, known for her extravagant lifestyle showcased in the reality show "Die Geissens", recently made headlines for undergoing a facelift to celebrate her 60th birthday. The procedure, which took place in a clinic located in the scenic Black Forest, came with a hefty price tag of 22,000 Euros, as reported by Bild.
In the latest episode of the show, viewers witnessed Carmen's journey through the facelift process, which she humorously justified by saying, "I don’t want to be the ugliest dead person in the graveyard." This light-hearted comment reflects her candid approach to cosmetic surgery, a topic she has openly discussed with her fans.
The healing process, however, was not without its challenges. Her husband, Robert Geiss, shared his thoughts on the aftermath, jokingly recalling, "I thought: What monster is coming around the corner?" This remark highlights the dramatic changes Carmen experienced during her recovery.
Despite the initial shock, Carmen has received a wave of support from her fans. One Instagram user expressed admiration for her bravery in undergoing such a procedure, saying, "Respect and recognition for the courage to undergo the operation. I could often only watch it with my hands in front of my face." Such reactions showcase the mixed feelings surrounding cosmetic surgery in the public eye.
In an interview with RTL, Carmen reflected on the recovery process, stating, "You need a certain healing phase. You don’t just lie down under the knife and look like you did before in three or four days. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way." She humorously referred to herself as a "never-ending construction site," suggesting that she might not be done with cosmetic enhancements just yet.
Carmen’s journey with beauty enhancements began long before this latest procedure. At the young age of 22, she had her first breast augmentation, and since then, she has undergone several more breast enhancements, hyaluronic injections, and a nose operation. This history of cosmetic procedures illustrates her commitment to maintaining her appearance and the pressures that come with being a public figure.
Born Carmen Schmitz, she first rose to fame as a fitness trainer, even earning the title of "Miss Fitness" in 1982. Her television career began in the mid-90s with appearances on shows like "Rudis Urlaubsshow" alongside the late Rudi Carrell. It was here that she laid the groundwork for her future as a television personality.
Carmen married Robert Geiss in 1994, and together they have built a brand that has captivated audiences. Robert, along with his brother Michael, founded the sportswear company "Uncle Sam" in 1986, which catered to bodybuilders. After selling the company in 1995, the couple found themselves with significant wealth, paving the way for their luxurious lifestyle.
The couple has two daughters, Davina Shakira, born in 2003, and Shania Tyra, born in 2004. Their daughters have also stepped into the limelight, starring in their own documentary series, "Davina & Shania – We Love Monaco," which showcases their lavish lifestyle in Monaco.
Carmen Geiss has been a mainstay on "Die Geissens – Eine schrecklich glamouröse Familie" since 2011, where she shares her jet-set lifestyle with fans. The show offers a glimpse into their opulent life, whether at home in Monaco or traveling the world on their yacht.
In addition to her television career, Carmen has ventured into writing, co-authoring an autobiography with Robert in 2013 titled "Von nix kommt nix: Voll auf Erfolgskurs mit den Geissens," which even made it to the Spiegel bestseller list. She also showcased her musical talent by singing the theme song "Jet Set" for her series.
Carmen’s participation in the seventh season of "Let's Dance" in 2014 further solidified her status as a multifaceted entertainer, where she impressively secured third place alongside professional dancer Christian Polanc. This experience not only helped her shed unwanted pounds but also inspired her to develop her own fitness and nutrition program.
Throughout her career, Carmen has made numerous appearances in various television shows, including "Das perfekte Promi-Dinner" in 2011, "Spiel die Geissens untern Tisch" in 2018, and "Schlag den Star" in 2021, where she notably won against Claudia Effenberg. Her journey from a fitness model to a millionaire's wife has captivated fans, and her openness about beauty procedures has sparked conversations about self-image and societal expectations.
As Carmen Geiss continues to embrace her life in the spotlight, her recent facelift marks just another chapter in her ongoing story of reinvention and self-expression. Whether through her reality show, music, or candid discussions about beauty standards, Carmen remains a figure of fascination for many.
