Fabio’s Journey: A Young Man Seeking Facial Harmony

Fabio, a 20-year-old young man from Switzerland, had always been conscious about his facial appearance - particularly his chin. While his health was excellent, his chin was noticeably off-centre compared to the facial midline, giving his face an asymmetrical look. This affected not only his physical appearance but also his confidence when interacting socially. After some thought and research, Fabio decided to explore treatment options to improve the alignment of his chin and balance his facial features.

Finding Support at the Right Time

Fabio began searching online for reliable medical guidance and treatment options abroad, where advanced cosmetic and reconstructive surgery was available at affordable prices. During his search, he came across MediGence and connected with our dedicated patient advisor, Ms. Arhama. From the beginning, her compassionate and well-informed approach helped Fabio feel reassured that he was in the right hands.

He explained his concern: a chin misalignment that affected the symmetry of his face. After reviewing his pictures and understanding his goals, it was confirmed that his diagnosis was accurate from the very first consultation - he required Sliding Genioplasty, a surgical procedure to reposition the chin bone to achieve correct alignment.

Planning the Journey for Treatment Abroad

After discussing possible destinations, Fabio chose Turkey, a country well recognised for its medical excellence in cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgeries. Our advisor helped him shortlist medical centres, and Fabio selected Medipol Hospital, Turkey, a reputed hospital known for its modern facilities and skilled surgical teams.

He was assigned to Dr. Caner Gelbal, a specialist well known for his expertise in jawline and facial bone surgeries. A pre-travel consultation was arranged, during which the doctor reviewed Fabio’s condition, explained the surgical procedure in detail, and assured him of a natural and well-balanced result.

Travel and Treatment Experience

Fabio travelled to Turkey on 29/09/2025, and his entire journey was arranged carefully to ensure comfort and safety. He spent a total of 7 days in the country, with 1 day of hospital stay - just enough for surgical care and recovery monitoring.

A Supporting Hand Through Every Step

MediGence ensured that Fabio did not feel alone in a foreign country:

• Airport transfers were coordinated to ensure smooth arrival and departure
• A doctor consultation was arranged before travel, which helped build trust and clarity
• No special assistance or rehab was required, but our care team remained available at all times for follow-ups and reassurance.

Fabio appreciated that even though it was his first international medical trip, he never felt uncertain or worried. Every step, from hospital admission to post-operative care, was clearly explained and coordinated.

A Happy Outcome and Renewed Confidence

The procedure had really good results.  Fabio now had a more symmetrical, natural, and self-assured appearance due to the perfect alignment of his chin with the rest of his facial features.  He believed that the treatment had greatly enhanced his appearance and self-esteem, and he expressed total happiness with the results.

Fabio expressed his satisfaction with the outcome and his gratitude for MediGence's help and assistance during the process.

Life After Surgery

After the treatment and a brief recovery period, Fabio went back to his native Switzerland.  His recovery went smoothly, and he saw a noticeable improvement in facial balance within a matter of weeks. His confidence became even stronger by the favourable and remarkable changes that friends and family observed.

This journey not only improved his appearance but also helped him feel more comfortable and self-assured in his everyday interactions.

Conclusion

Fabio's story is a beautiful example of how medical travel can be a life-enhancing experience. What began as a cosmetic concern shaped into a transformative journey that restored balance, confidence, and self-esteem.

MediGence, through the dedicated support of patient advisor Arhama, ensured that Fabio received high-quality treatment in a trusted international medical centre - without stress or uncertainty.
