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.
