From Fear to Fabulous: How My Mommy Makeover in Mexico Gave Me Myself Back
Hey y’all, I’m Martiny —45 years old, proud mama, and living in CA. Let me just start by saying: if you’d told me a year ago I’d be flying to Mexico for plastic surgery, I would’ve laughed and poured another glass of sweet tea. But here I am, 3 months post-op from a full Mommy Makeover at TopPlasticSurgeonsMexico, feeling like I got my groove back—and then some.
I won’t lie, I was scared outta my mind before going. I had all the usual fears… What if something went wrong? What if I hated how I looked? What if I didn’t wake up from anesthesia? I mean, you hear horror stories, right? And doing it in another country? Whew, that just added a whole new level of anxiety. I spent months reading every review I could find, obsessing over before-and-afters, texting girlfriends about it at midnight… it was a whole* emotional rollercoaster. But deep down, I knew I wanted this. Not to impress anyone. Just for me.
I ended up choosing Dr. Juan Bernardo Balthazar Rendon, and the moment I met him, I could feel the nerves melting away. He just had this calm, confident way of explaining everything, and he never rushed me. He actually listened to my goals, my fears, all of it. I trusted him, and that meant everything.
So here’s what I had done: breast implants with a lift, tummy tuck, liposuction in all the spots I’d been fighting since my 30s, and a little extra love to my booty. Yep, I went all in. And yes, recovery was no joke. The first week felt like I got hit by a truck made of pillows. But I followed every instruction like it was gospel: slept upright, lived in my compression garments, stayed hydrated, didn’t touch a drop of wine, and definitely didn’t lift a single suitcase.
Before flying back home, I made sure to get cleared by Dr. Balthazar. I booked a wheelchair at the airport, wore my loosest, comfiest clothes, and gave myself a whole lotta grace.
Now, when I look in the mirror, I don’t just see a body that’s changed—I see me again. The me that got a little lost in motherhood, work, and life. I feel confident, sexy, and most of all, proud of myself for doing something bold.
If you’re sitting there reading this and wondering if you should do it… I get it. I was you. The doubts, the late-night overthinking, the “what ifs.” But if you’ve done your research and your gut says yes—don’t let fear hold you back.
Especially if you think about cost then compare to any city of USA without compromising the quality and result, Mexico is best. That's my promise.
That's why I am telling TopPlasticSurgeonsMexico gave me my sparkle back, and I’ll never stop being thankful for that.
