From Insecure to Empowered: My Mommy Makeover Journey to Mexico
If you think this is one of those flew to Mexico, came back flawless type deals—nah, it was so much more than that.
This was personal. This was about reclaiming myself after years of pouring everything into motherhood, work, and everyone but me. I looked in the mirror one day and didn’t recognize the woman staring back. And that’s when I knew—it was time.
So I did it. I booked a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Juan Bernardo Balthazar Rendon at TopPlasticSurgeonsMexico. And y’all… this decision changed everything.
Now don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t some dreamy, influencer-style getaway. Nah—it was stressful at first. The kind of stress that hits you at 3 am when you’re triple-checking flight confirmations, wondering if you packed enough meds, and Googling post-op complications like a maniac. I had a million fears. What if something went wrong? What if I regretted it?But from the moment I landed, things shifted. I met my surgeon, and his energy? Calm, confident, no fluff. I followed every instruction like it was the law. Compression garment? On like a second skin. Hydration? I was drinking water like it was my side hustle. Rest? I turned that hotel room into my healing sanctuary. And every single day, a doctor checked in on me. Not a nurse, not a rushed assistant—a real doctor. That part right there gave me so much peace.
Still, let’s keep it honest. The clinic was busy. Trying to get someone on the phone post-op? Frustrating. And I wish the aftercare guide was a bit more detailed—felt like I had to play detective sometimes. The scars? More annoying than I ever imagined. Healing ain’t cute, and that flight back home?I nearly cried. Those airplane seats weren’t made for fresh incisions and sore muscles. Note to future self: more pillows, more time off.
But when I got home and saw my reflection? Tears. Not because I was in pain, but because I finally saw me again. Not the tired, self-conscious, Strong. Beautiful. Whole.
This wasn’t just cosmetic—it was emotional. Spiritual, even. A reminder that I deserve to feel good in my skin. That it’s okay to prioritize me for once.
If you’re from LA, you already know—we hustle hard, take care of everyone, and rarely hit pause. But sometimes? You gotta hit pause to heal, to invest in yourself, to glow from the inside out.
So if you’re thinking about surgery in Mexico, just know—it’s a journey. It won’t all be pretty. But if you do it for the right reasons, and you’re ready to commit to the process, the woman who comes out on the other side? She’s gonna blow you away.
