Mariana's Double Chin Treatment Journey with Dr. CBS

Like many people searching for the right solution to define their jawline, Mariana found herself browsing through Reddit in July 2024. Living in the UK but originally from Portugal, she was looking for honest patient experiences when she came across a review about Dr. CBS's clinic in Istanbul.

"When I saw the before and after photos and read about the patient's experience, something clicked," Mariana recalls. "I decided to reach out to the clinic to learn more about my options for treating my double chin."

Initial Consultation Process

After sending her photos to İdil, Dr. CBS's patient coordinator, Mariana was quickly scheduled for a video consultation with Dr. CBS himself. During this call, he carefully explained the procedure options and recommended a combination approach.

"Dr. CBS suggested starting with chin liposuction but explained that adding skin tightening would give better results," Mariana explains. "What I really appreciated was his flexible approach – he said we could make the final decision about adding thread lifting after examining my skin in person."

Feeling confident about Dr. CBS's expertise and transparent approach, Mariana scheduled her procedure for October 18, 2024, choosing the recommended local anesthesia option.

The Istanbul Experience

Upon arriving in Istanbul on October 17, Mariana was greeted by the clinic's driver at the airport. Her face-to-face consultation with Dr. CBS confirmed their initial plan, and together they decided to proceed with both laser liposuction and thread lifting for optimal results.

Surgery Day

"I was nervous about the local anesthesia at first," Mariana admits. "But once Dr. CBS administered it, all my worries disappeared." The procedure turned into an unexpectedly pleasant experience, with casual conversation flowing throughout the one-hour surgery.

"We talked about life, my Portuguese background, and my life in the UK. It helped me stay relaxed and made the time pass quickly," she shares. After the procedure, Mariana spent an hour recovering at the clinic, enjoying a coffee before being driven back to her hotel.

Recovery and Results

During her follow-up appointment on October 22, Dr. CBS checked her progress. As expected, there was some swelling and bruising, but everything was healing properly. Before heading to the airport, Mariana was so pleased with her experience that she agreed to share her story through a video review.

"The aftercare didn't stop when I left Istanbul," Mariana notes. "The online follow-up care has been excellent, and I'm amazed at how well-defined my jawline has become. The results are exactly what I hoped for."

Key Takeaways from Mariana's Experience:

• Initial contact to surgery: 3 months of careful planning

• Procedure: Laser liposuction with thread lift under local anesthesia

• Surgery duration: 1 hour

• Recovery: Normal swelling and bruising, with continuous online support

• Result: A well-defined jawline achieved through combined treatment approach

"I'm grateful to Dr. CBS and his team for making this such a smooth experience," Mariana concludes. "From the first contact with İdil to the ongoing aftercare, everything has been professional and well-organized."
