Carmen Geiss, star of the reality TV show "Die Geissens," has made headlines once again, this time for undergoing a significant cosmetic transformation. At the age of 59, Geiss decided to treat herself to a facelift, aiming to feel more comfortable in her own skin as she approaches her 60th birthday. In the latest episode of "Die Geissens" aired on April 14, 2025, viewers witnessed her journey to the Dorow Clinic in Lörrach, where she consulted with her trusted cosmetic surgeon.
During her consultation, Carmen expressed her desire to eliminate the wrinkles on her face and neck, stating, "I want to remove these furrows," while pointing at her features. The doctor quickly assessed her situation, noting that past treatments with fillers had led to some encapsulation under her skin. However, he reassured her that these issues could be addressed and promised, "You will look 10 to 15 years younger," a statement that undoubtedly excited Carmen.
Despite her enthusiasm, Carmen faced some resistance from her family. Her husband, Robert Geiss, and their daughters, Davina and Shania, expressed their love for her just the way she is. Shania remarked, "My mom always looks great. I like her just as she is," demonstrating the family's affection and support. Nevertheless, Carmen was determined to go through with the surgery, feeling that it would help her regain confidence.
As the day of the operation approached, Carmen received an unexpected phone call from Robert, who had a flat tire on their Lamborghini. The news caught her off guard, and she exclaimed, "With which car?!" to which Robert replied, "With the Lambo." This moment of chaos added a humorous twist to her pre-surgery nerves, as she lamented, "Now that I’m away, something like this happens. My husband without me is really helpless!"
On the day of the facelift, Carmen chose to go to the clinic alone, a decision she later questioned as she awaited the anesthesia. "I’m scared: Will I only look younger and fresher, or will I look like a monster?" she admitted. Her husband tried to lighten the mood with jokes, telling her, "Don’t worry, or they might cut off your ear!" Meanwhile, their daughter Davina expressed her deep concern for her mother, saying, "A life without my mom is unimaginable. If she goes, I want to go too. She is my everything; I’m such a mama’s girl."
The surgery lasted a grueling eight hours, during which Carmen underwent a comprehensive facelift involving three surgeons. After the procedure, she awoke to significant swelling, admitting, "I feel like I ran into a tank!" Despite the initial shock of her appearance, the doctor assured her that the swelling was normal and would subside. Robert, always ready with a quip, remarked, "I didn’t recognize her at first and thought, ‘Which monster is coming around the corner?’ But yes, it will change, and in the end, it will be better than before," bringing some levity to the situation.
A few days post-op, Carmen was thrilled with the results. "It looks great!" she exclaimed, expressing satisfaction with her new appearance. She noted that the fillers had been removed, and the wrinkles she had been concerned about were now gone, revealing a much narrower face. "I have my face back like I was 40 years old!" she declared, celebrating her rejuvenation.
Carmen's decision to undergo such a transformative procedure has sparked a variety of reactions. While many fans and followers have praised her for her bold choice, some have criticized her appearance, comparing her to the likes of Donatella Versace. However, Carmen took these comments in stride, stating, "I find the comparisons to Donatella Versace flattering. But, as I said, there will always be pros and cons. I feel much better when I look in the mirror now."
As she prepares to celebrate her 60th birthday on May 5, 2025, Carmen Geiss has embraced her new look with confidence. Her journey serves as a reminder that the pursuit of beauty can be both a personal and public endeavor, with each individual navigating their own path to self-acceptance and happiness. For Carmen, her facelift was not merely about aesthetics; it was about feeling good in her own skin and embracing the next chapter of her life with renewed vigor.
