Dr. Elena Marlowe, MD
Founder & Medical Director
Credentials: MD
Elena founded La Rive around a simple philosophy: aesthetic medicine should help people look refreshed, healthy, and unmistakably like themselves.
She takes a conservative, whole-face approach to treatment planning and believes the best result is often the one nobody can identify as a procedure.
Most of her time is spent in consultation — listening first, then mapping proportion and sequence, and being comfortable recommending less than a guest expected.

A good fit if…
- You want a full-face plan rather than a single treatment
- You are weighing several options and want an honest recommendation
- You have had work elsewhere and want a second opinion
- You would rather be talked out of something than oversold
