Beyond the Gym: How Laser Lipo with Dr. Enriquez Refined My Silhouette

I’ve always been committed to fitness, but despite my best efforts in the gym, the last few years left me with stubborn pockets of fat that simply wouldn’t budge. I started looking into Laser Liposuction as the specialized tool I needed to reclaim my definition, consulting with several high-end plastic surgeons in the U.S. Finding the Perfect Balance of Tech and Skill My search for top-tier laser technology and surgical expertise led me to Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera at Elaen Plastic Surgery. What convinced me to travel to Mexico was the Dr.'s sophisticated approach to body contouring and his impressive credentials. A Professional and Safe Environment The entire surgical experience at Hospital Joya Riviera exceeded my expectations. The safety protocols were rigorous, and the medical team was world-class. Dr. Luis Godoy, the anesthesiologist, made sure I was comfortable and relaxed throughout, while Dr. Liz and Rebeca (the nursing staff) provided exceptional post-op care that was vital for my recovery. The "Athlete’s" Result The recovery was smooth, and the laser technology made a massive difference in my skin tightening and overall contour. I finally have the definition that my workout routine alone couldn't achieve. I look and feel like a refreshed version of my athletic self. For anyone in the U.S. looking for advanced Laser Liposuction with a highly skilled team and state-of-the-art facilities, I highly recommend Dr. Enríquez de Rivera. It is a safe, professional, and transformative investment.

Natural Hair Restoration: Why I Chose Elaen over Turkey for my FUE Transplant

Over the years, I began losing hair in my frontal hairline and crown, which took a toll on my self-confidence. I knew I wanted a permanent solution, but it had to be the FUE technique—the "one-by-one" method that leaves no visible scars, unlike the outdated FUT strip method. Elite Training with North American Convenience I discovered Elaen Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Center, led by Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera. What sold me was his background: he trained in Istanbul, Turkey, the global epicenter of hair restoration. Having that level of expertise just a short flight away in Mexico was a game-changer. A Seamless 5-Day Experience The efficiency of the process was outstanding: Effortless Testing: They sent lab personnel directly to my hotel for blood work—I had results in 3 hours! The Procedure: My transplant was split over two days (2,500 grafts total). Using only local anesthesia, it was remarkably comfortable. Comprehensive Aftercare: Before flying home on day five, the team walked me through every step of the washing process and provided all the necessary lotions and medications. 12 Months Later: A Natural Transformation A year has passed, and the results are flawless. My hairline looks completely natural, and my confidence is back at 100%. I am incredibly grateful for the care I received at Elaen. If you are looking for Turkey-level expertise with superior convenience and professional care, look no further than Dr. Enríquez de Rivera.

My Mommy Makeover Journey with Dr. Enriquez De Rivera at Elaen

My Mommy Makeover Journey with Dr. Enriquez de Rivera at Elaen After having two kids, I wanted to reclaim the body I had before pregnancy. Living in the U.S., I consulted with several surgeons, but the quotes I received were far beyond my budget. That’s when I started looking for high-quality, credentialed options abroad and found Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera at Elaen Plastic Surgery. Clinical Rigor & Transparency From our first Zoom call, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Enríquez had already reviewed my photos and gave me a realistic assessment. He was very firm about one thing: "Forget about the beach; you are here for surgery, not a vacation." I appreciated that honesty. They required me to be in Puerto Vallarta for two weeks, starting with pre-op blood work and a cardiology clearance, which made me feel incredibly safe. The Procedure: A Seamless Experience The hospital staff and coordination were top-notch. I want to give a huge shout-out to the anesthesiologist, Dr. Godoy—he was amazing. I closed my eyes and woke up what felt like seconds later, feeling no pain, just some tightness. I stayed one night in the hospital and was discharged with a clear plan of antibiotics and pain management. The Recovery Reality Check Let’s be honest: the first few days are tough. You need help moving, and dealing with the compression garments and drains is a lot. My best advice? Hire the nursing service they offer for the hotel. My nurse was a lifesaver, helping me with wound care and the faja (compression garment). My husband wouldn't have known where to start, so having professional help was worth every penny. Going Home & Long-term Results We flew back to the States after two weeks (definitely request wheelchair assistance at the airport!). The follow-up care via video calls and photo updates has been consistent for a full year. Today, looking at my results, I am so happy. It was a challenging recovery, but the transformation is worth it. If you want U.S.-level safety and results without the U.S. price tag, I highly recommend Dr. Enríquez de Rivera and his entire team.

My Natural Transformation: From Canada to Mexico for a Flawless Deep Plane Facelift

After an exhaustive search for specialists in Deep Plane Facelift techniques—which included several in-person consultations in Canada and multiple video calls with surgeons across different countries—I decided to place my trust in Dr. Enríquez de Rivera. One year later, I can confidently say it was the best decision I could have made. Coordination and First Impressions From the very first contact with his patient coordinators, the logistics were seamless. During my initial consultation via video call, Dr. Enríquez stood out immediately. His expertise and ability to explain the procedure from start to finish gave me a level of confidence I hadn't found elsewhere. We booked my surgery date six months in advance, and I received clear, thorough instructions every step of the way. The Surgical Experience Upon my arrival, the process was impeccably organized: Safety Protocols: Comprehensive lab work and a full cardiac evaluation. Pre-op Consultation: A vital meeting with Dr. Enríquez to fine-tune the details. Facilities: The procedure took place at Hospital Joya Riviera, a world-class facility. Despite the technical complexity of the Deep Plane technique, the surgery was outpatient. By that evening, I was already recovering comfortably in my hotel. Recovery and International Follow-up What surprised me most was the pain management: it was virtually painless. The biggest challenge was simply the discomfort of sleeping in a semi-upright position with my head elevated, as I am naturally a stomach sleeper. I attended 4 to 5 in-person post-op appointments, and I could see the swelling subside significantly at each visit. Once I returned to Canada, the care didn't stop. We continued with follow-up consultations via video call for a full year, proving Dr. Enríquez’s genuine commitment to his international patients. The Results Today, I feel rejuvenated, happy, and most importantly: I still look like myself. My facial expressions remain completely natural—I don’t look "operated on," just a much more refreshed and youthful version of myself. If you are considering a Deep Plane Facelift, I highly recommend Dr. Enríquez de Rivera. His technical mastery and bedside manner are truly exceptional.

Outstanding - Excellent Care Every Step of the Way

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera and his incredible team at Elaen. As a mom of three, I wanted to feel confident and comfortable in my body again and thanks to them, I truly do. I had a tummy tuck, a mommy makeover, and a rhinoplasty, and the results have been absolutely life-changing. I love how my body looks, and I’ve received so many compliments. Most importantly, it gave me back my confidence and made me feel like myself again. From my very first consultation, the level of communication, attention, and care was exceptional. Even though I was living in California at the time (now in Arizona), the team made the entire process incredibly smooth. They walked me through every step what to expect, how the procedures worked, and how my recovery would be. The recovery and follow up care were just as amazing. The staff made sure I felt supported, safe, and informed from beginning to end. Their professionalism, kindness, and the beautiful facility all made the experience even better. I would recommend Dr. Enríquez Rivera and the Elaen team to absolutely anyone considering this journey. If you have any questions, doubts, or reservations, please reach out to me I’m more than happy to share more about my experience. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

My Transformation and Happiness with Dr. Alejandro Enríquez De Rivera

My Transformation and Happiness with Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera I want to share my incredibly positive experience with Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera. After a previous liposuction procedure with another surgeon that resulted in a terrible experience and with an abdomen I was embarrassed to show, I came to Dr. Enríquez feeling very distrustful and low in morale. From the very first moment, Dr. Enríquez and his team provided me with professional, empathetic, and the highest quality care. He not only understood my frustration and my desire to correct the previous work and he exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Alejandro Enríquez de Rivera repaired my abdomen with mastery and attention to every detail, that I never thought could be possible. The result is simply spectacular and has completely transformed my life. I finally feel happy, secure, and deeply grateful. He gave me back my confidence! If you are looking for a surgeon who is not only technically brilliant, but who also genuinely cares about the well-being and happiness of their patients, Dr. Enríquez is the clear choice. It has been the best experience I've ever had! I recommend him 100% and I am eternally grateful to him for making me the happiest person. -The results are clearly visible in the photos: the previous irregularities and unevenness are completely gone. -My current abdomen is smooth and flat, left no visible scars on my belly botton and the definition on my waistlin is incredible. -He managed to correct the flaccidity/sagginess left by the previous procedure. I recommend you to take the post surgery therapy at Beauniss PV this therapy helped me in my recovery with the ultrasound therapy and lymphatic drainage. This results was made possible thanks to the combined efforts of the entire team.
