Face Neck Lift Journey From Canada to Turkey: Erin's Story

Initial Consultation and Decision

When Erin first reached out to Dr. CBS's clinic in early July 2024, she was seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation to address signs of aging in her face and neck area. Like many women in their fifties, she noticed changes in her jawline definition, neck contours, and overall facial appearance that made her look more tired than she felt.

Her journey began with a warm exchange with Özlem, Dr. CBS's patient coordinator, who collected her initial information and photos. After Dr. CBS reviewed her case, a video consultation was arranged where Erin learned about face and neck lift surgery's potential to restore her natural, more youthful appearance.

"During our video consultation, Dr. CBS explained how a face and neck lift could address my concerns comprehensively," Erin recalls. "He detailed how the procedure would improve my jawline definition, reduce excess neck skin, and create more harmonious facial contours. What impressed me most was his focus on achieving natural-looking results that would make me look refreshed, not 'done.'"

Pre-Surgery Experience

Convinced by Dr. CBS's expertise in facial rejuvenation and his thoughtful approach, Erin decided to schedule her surgery for November 27, 2024. She also decided to proceed with a revision breast reduction during the same surgical session, appreciating Dr. CBS's ability to address multiple concerns safely and effectively.

"The clinic's pre-surgery protocol really stood out to me," Erin shares. "They arranged for me to arrive two days before the surgery, which gave me time to meet Dr. CBS in person and discuss everything without feeling rushed."

On November 25, Erin had her face-to-face consultation with Dr. CBS. "That hour-long consultation was invaluable," she says. "We discussed every aspect of the face and neck lift procedure, and having that relaxed time to ask questions made me feel completely prepared for surgery."

The Surgery and Recovery

The combined face and neck lift with midline platysmaplasty and revision breast reduction took about six hours. "Dr. CBS explained how addressing both my face and neck would ensure balanced, harmonious results," Erin notes. "He took the time to ensure everything was precisely planned for optimal outcome."

Recovery was smoother than Erin expected. She stayed in the hospital for two nights under careful monitoring, with Dr. CBS personally checking on her progress. "Yes, there was some discomfort the first night, but Dr. CBS visited me immediately when I mentioned it, adjusting my pain medication for better comfort."

Post-Surgery Care and Results

Before departing Istanbul, Erin had her final in-person check-up at Dr. CBS's clinic. "Having Turkish coffee while overlooking the famous Bagdat Street was such a lovely way to conclude my time in Istanbul," she reminisces. "I could already see positive changes in my face and neck contours."

Through regular online consultations and photo updates, Dr. CBS and his team continued to monitor Erin's recovery. At just three weeks post-operation, her results were already showing - natural facial contours, improved neck definition, and harmonious rejuvenation that looked entirely natural.

Patient Reflection

"What stands out about my face and neck lift experience isn't just the physical transformation," Erin reflects. "It's how the procedure addressed all my concerns while maintaining my natural expressions and features. I look refreshed and feel more confident, but I still look like myself - just a more rested, rejuvenated version."

Conclusion

Today, as Erin continues her healing journey, her results demonstrate the transformative potential of face and neck lift surgery when performed with attention to natural-looking outcomes. Her story exemplifies how facial rejuvenation surgery, when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. CBS, can achieve remarkable yet subtle results that turn back the clock while preserving one's unique features.

For those considering face and neck lift surgery, Erin's experience highlights the importance of choosing a surgeon who prioritizes natural-looking results and provides comprehensive care throughout the entire journey.
