“I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Dr. Rivera and my awake tummy tuck! From beginning to end, the entire process was absolutely phenomenal. Dr. Rivera made me feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease throughout the entire experience. The procedure was pain-free for me, and the results have been absolutely amazing! I am beyond happy with how everything turned out, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Dr. Rivera took the time to explain the entire process thoroughly, making sure I understood what to expect every step of the way. He patiently answered all of my questions and made me feel heard, informed, and confident in my decision. His professionalism, expertise, and caring bedside manner truly set him apart. His staff was equally incredible! Shoutout to Louisa, Danny and Isabella! Everyone was kind, welcoming, attentive, and supportive. They made me feel comfortable from my very first interaction and continued to provide outstanding care throughout the entire journey. If you're considering an awake tummy tuck, I highly recommend Dr. Rivera. The combination of his skill, the amazing results, the wonderful staff, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and so grateful I chose him! I would recommend Dr. Rivera without hesitation to anyone considering this procedure! ❤️”
“I'm so happy I chose Dr. Rivera!! I had my procedure earlier this summer and I honestly couldn't recommend him more. From the very first consult, it was apparent how knowledgeable he was and everyone made me feel comfortable. He listened to what I wanted and was real with me about what would look good on my body. I felt that all of my questions about the operation day, the recovery and my options for fat transfer were answered. Surgery day was manageable and less scary than I expected even though I chose awake. The whole team was sweet and supportive, and I always knew what was going on. The post-op instructions were super clear so I felt confident about recovery. Lymphatic drainage massage helped a ton and the swelling and bruising improved every day. I was feeling more comfortable within a week, and by week 3-4 I felt incredibly confident. My shape now is natural and athletic which is what I wanted, I am obsessed with the results!”
“I could not be happier with my results! I had an endoscopic facelift and neck lift with Dr. Rivera, and the results are absolutely beautiful and so natural. People can’t tell that I’ve had anything done, but I constantly receive compliments about how refreshed, and “pretty” I look. I did an extensive amount of research before choosing my surgeon. I traveled to Texas and New Mexico to visit different practices and consulted with multiple surgeons in Miami as well. I feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Rivera. His meticulous care, attention to detail to achieving natural looking results speak for themselves. A special thank you to his wonderful staff as well. Everyone was so kind, caring, and professional throughout the entire experience. 🌸 Thank you, Dr. Rivera, for your incredible work!”
“This is your Surgeon. He is an artist and his team is amazing. I had a full face and neck with some fat grafting and my eyelids done. He also did laser. The hat picture was taken 9 days later and the last picture was 2 weeks and I went back to work. I will update weekly. I had such a fabulous experience and loved Isabella, who is the coordinator and Louisa who is his nursing right hand girl. I go for my check up tomorrow and will send updated pics. Thank you so much for taking such special care of me. I have friends that booked consultations already.”
“My first communication with Dr Rivera's office was with Isabella who helped me navigate through my questions and concerns prompt with communications . Had a virtual consultation with Dr Rivera he listened to my needs and requests then addressed them impressively I knew I was in good hands. Two weeks before surgery I met with the Dr and his wonderful Staff in person at his beautiful office cin Miami beach fl Dr Rivera , Isabella ,and Paula instantly made me feel so welcome the Dr spent a very generous amount of time with me discussing my requests and explaining everything in details. I felt fully confident about the process two weeks later returned for my big day ! I had a DPFL, neck, upper bleph, fat transfer, and lazer work surgery took 6 hrs My whole experience was exceptional I definitely recommend Dr Rivera he is a true protectionist and a warm loving Dr. Now I'm day 19 post OP and I love the work that was done most importantly that I asked for the results are amazing I feel I look 20 yrs younger ! Thank you Dr Rivera and Isabella and Paula”
