Cruise Plastic Surgery

I am 26 years old, and ever since I was 13 I struggled with the appearance of my chest. It wasn’t shaped the way I expected a masculine chest would be shaped. Even though I was naturally skinny, my chest would protrude effeminately from my body. It was noticeable enough that my peers commented on it, and I felt frustrated that I had this physical trait normally reserved for females. I felt like my body wasn’t masculine like the rest of me. I would shop for shirts that hid my chest. I would hunch my shoulders over so that my chest wouldn’t stick out. I exercised and dieted with the hope that I could conquer my gynecomastia, but however hard I tried I couldn’t reduce the shape of my «man-​boobs». I avoided swimming pools, the beach, any situation that called for me to take my shirt off. I didn’t feel proud of my body. Once I turned 25 I realized that I had wasted the first half of my twenties hiding. I had missed out on so many experiences because I was embarrassed of my chest. I didn’t want the second half of my twenties to slip away from me the same way. I began doctor hunting for the top doctor in the gynecomastia field. I wanted the best of the best, because you only get one body. I narrowed my choices down to two doctors, and after having consultations with both of them I selected Dr. Cruise of Cruise Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA. His resume was impressive, but what swayed me was his personality, sincerity, and hospitality. He treated me so kindly that I immediately felt comfortable. I felt like this doctor really had my best interest at heart. He thoroughly explained to me how the procedure works, what to expect afterwards, and was very receptive to my questions. I knew he would be the one to help me. He was the perfect combination of education, experience, ethics, and results that I was looking for. I have to give a special shout out to his staff member Jessica Morris. Every time I had a question she was there. She responded to my emails promptly, and whenever I needed her she was available. She was hospitable with flying colors. I had the surgery in January of 2016, and needless to say I am beyond satisfied with the results. My chest looks amazing! I don’t feel insecure about my «man-​boobs» anymore. I stand up straight now because I’m no longer hunching my back to hide my chest. I can go to the swimming pool and beach with confidence. I absolutely love my results. It’s hard to imagine living my life the way I did prior to the surgery. The only regret I have is that I didn’t do it sooner. I can not stop praising Cruise Plastic Surgery. I highly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Dr. Cruise is the best doctor I have ever seen. I’m so happy with him. I had breast reduction and i feel great. He and his staff are very caring and always available. I highly recommend him.

I had gynecomastia surgery in October 2015, and so far it has been the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve had gynecomastia since I was a young teen, and had always just lived with the embarrassment/​insecurity of it. I was always overweight as a kid/​teenager (was 245 lbs at one point), and once I lost the weight, I looked better and felt better, but the gynecomastia was still there. I didn’t even know there was a surgical procedure that could permanently get rid of it. When I heard about it, I did a little research online and came across Dr. Cruise. I decided to call to schedule a consultation with him. So after doing all my research and visiting Dr. Cruise, I felt like there was no reason for me not to do it.
Dr. Cruise exceeded my expectations and couldn’t have been better. I can see why people actually come internationally to have surgeries done by him. His staff are all amazing, very helpful and informative through the whole process. He’s very patient, receptive, and takes his work very seriously which I couldn’t have appreciated more.
Highly, highly recommend Dr. Cruise if you’re thinking of going through with any plastic surgery.
I’ve posted my picture of before and after in the gallery of this page.

I’d like to use this review as a «thank you» to Dr. Cruise. I went in for a consultation with my wife who had Breast Implants done recently. Dr. Cruise’s staff made sure that my wife was so prepared for the surgery, nothing came as a surprise! We are almost one month out and she looks absolutely amazing! Her confidence is through the roof! Thank you, Dr. Cruise, for your kindness and for making my wife the confident woman that she deserves to be!

I had been through so much with a breast augmentation that went bad and scars so bad. I went to see Dr. Cruise. Since the time I walked into the office till my last visit after what I call my reconstruction of getting my life back, Dr. Cruise and his staff were the very best. They all treated my situation with me feeling so comfortable. I have scars now that are almost invisible. I’m confident now and feel beautiful. Thanks to all of you at the office! !

This review is overdue for the breast augmentation I had back in 2012. I always wanted to write but do not want to review my real name; but it’s time to share my experience with Dr. Cruise!
I had only 1 consultation with another doctor before seeing Dr. Cruise. As soon as I saw Dr. Cruise’s before & after breast augmentation profiles; I knew in my heart that he will perfect the procedure for me. I came to see him the next day for consultation. I did not ask much questions because his picture is worth thousands words. I was fortunate that some patient canceled his/​her procedure so they were be able to squeeze me in the next few days for surgery.
I was told that I was one of very lucky patients that I felt no pain and no discomfort after the procedure. I was be able to walk like I had no procedure done.
I had flu shot few times and flu shots were 100x more painful than having breast augmentation done. Who can imagine having a major procedure done and 0 pain? Very hard to believe!
RESULT: I have looked at thousands of female profiles who had this procedures done before and after my surgery. My result was so perfect; it was beyond my imagination. I never expected for it to come out this pretty. I am extremely happy and satisfied with the result as each day passes by. I am glad that I went with my instinct and chose Dr. Cruise.
Once again, thank you very much for your work!

After much hesitation to move forward with gynocomastia surgery, I finally decided it was time to start my research. After meeting with Dr. Cruise and his staff, I felt extremely comfortable and ready to continue with the process. I had a million questions, and was very concerned about scarring. Dr. Cruise answered all my questions, showed my many before and after pictures and never pushed me to move forward until I was ready to.
The pre-​procedure appointments were extremely thorough and I felt fully prepared on the day of the surgery. Of course the morning of the surgery, I was pretty nervous and once again, Dr. Cruise and his staff were so comforting and reassuring.
The surgery was over in what seemed like a minute and all my post op care was just as good and thorough as the lead up! Highly recommend Dr. Cruise for his talent, patient care and staff!

I went back to Dr. Cruise office today after having a capsular contracture for about 2 years. I was quoted higher/​equal to my original price I had paid to fix my capsular contracture by a person who no longer works there for this reason. Jessica went over everything with me, they were very apologetic and sincere about my previous quote. I was quoted an amazing and affordable price to fix my capsular contracture and I can’t wait to schedule my next surgery. Thank you for making my experience so much better! And I also appreciate you guys so much for reaching out to me.

Dr Cruise and his team expertly helped me through the breast augmentation process and my results have been fabulous. I completed consultations with three surgeons, but my experience with Cruise Plastic Surgery was by far the best. I was particularly impressed with the consult/​preop process, the staff, and the follow up process, as I feel they led to my great outcome/​results.
The initial computerized portion of the consult process used by DrCruise was so helpful in determining the appearance and size I wanted (natural, full but conservative). I was able to look at dozens of photos to determine the size range my husband and I might like. DrCruise used this as a starting point, and then combined photos of my own chest and an exam to make his recommendation. He noted a few things that the other surgeons didn’t — that my chest length was a bit short, that larger/​wider might make me look heavier since I don’t have much height (5’4″), the diff in appearance and cleavage of a moderate vs high profile implant, etc. When we finally settled on a size (350cc), it was only 20cc different from his initial, expert recommendation! I now feel the sizing and shape are perfect!
The team has been wonderful throughout the entire process. DrCruise is quite personable, very willing to listen to my desires/​concerns yet confident enough in his experience to offer a strong recommendation. The office staff are always friendly and respectful, and their gowns provide for a bit more discretion than I was given at other offices. The surgical center was beautiful, spotless, and my nurses were terrific (I have been an ICU RN for years so my standards are pretty high).
I have also appreciated the in depth follow up provided by Cruise. At approx four months postop I’ve been seen four times, and I’m scheduled to be seen yet again to ensure no complications (none thus far). Each time they’ve taken photos for reference in case a problem arises. I have also used the nurse call line for a question, which was handled quickly.
It is clear that the team at Cruise takes pride in their work and truly desires a wonderful outcome for the patient. I’ve already recommended them to a few friends!

Was the best experience ever! Dr. Cruise is the most amazing man and the staff are both completely amazing and full of knowledge! I would recommend this place to anyone interested in getting any sort of work done; Dr. Cruise’s techniques made me heal fast and i basically have no scars which is AMAZING! They are easy to contact and are willing to answer any questions whether they are actual questions or stupid questions! I feel very comfortable every time I am in that office and trust Dr. Cruise with my LIFE! My consults were usually with Jessica and Cristin and they both super knowledgeable and some of the nicest people I have ever met!

Dr. Cruise is phenomenal. Chris, the nurse Jennifer and all of his staff are caring, attentive and show abide to a commendable level of professional ethics. I would highly recommend Dr. Cruise to any prospective patients.

About 4 months ago I had a great augmentation and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff, Dr. Cruise and the whole process! They make you feel so comfortable and explain everything in depth. The surgery went great and my recovery was super easy! My results are amazing and I am so happy I found Dr. cruise! Definitely recommend!!!

LOVE LOVE DR. CRUISE AND HIS STAFF!!!
I had such an amazing experience at this office. All of the girls are so sweet and have great patient care. I went to my first consultation for breast augmentation with Kristin. Kristin was so nice and I was VERY nervous about everything, but she reassured me that everything will be okay.
Dr. Cruise recommended 375 cc, silicone. My surgery and post op went very well. I was so afraid of pain because I heard a lot of bad stories from my friends who did breast augmentation with their doctors, but Dr. Cruise was so amazing that I did not feel any pain after my surgery :)
Every month, I had a follow up appointment, and Jennifer is so sweet and always gives the best advice for my new breasts. She is a great nurse and always provide great care.
It’s been a year now, and I am so happy with my results. It looks very natural! Thank you so much to Jennifer and Dr. Cruise for everything. I have better self esteem, confidence, and I love how I look in everything I wear.

In May of 2015, I selected Dr. Cruise to perform my gynecomastia surgery. As with any surgery, one has many questions and a great deal of anxiety. Dr. Cruise and his staff answered all my questions and provided excellent pre/​post-​operative care. I am so happy with the results, and only wish I had not waited so long to have the surgery. If you are reading this and are considering having gynecomastia surgery, I highly recommend you visit Dr. Cruise for a consultation. After years of buying shirts that were too big for me and not wearing tee shirts, tank tops, etc. shopping for new cloths is great. Additionally, I can take off my shirt to swim without feeling self-​conscious about my appearance — and sex is even better. Do not wait! By next summer, you could have a rocking new body.

I’m writing this review for my wife who received breast augmentation surgery. I know she won’t write it, so I will! I was opposed to her having any type of plastic surgery in fear that she would look «fake» Well, I am eating my words now and cannot thank Dr. Cruise enough! My wife looks absolutely amazing. The size & shape he recommended kept her looking natural with her breast in perfect proportion to her body. She is so much more confident now and it shines through in every aspect of our lives. Thank you, Dr. Cruise for making my wife happy and for improving our marriage.

My story. I’m your typical gynecomastia patient. As I started developing into a man, around age 13 I really noticed my chest. I would wear clothes to hide, posture with shoulders forward, whatever it took to hide it. I avoided swim parties. I got asked if I needed a bra. And at that time I didn’t know this was gynecomastia, just thought I got dealt with something that I couldn’t change.
Finding the right Doctor. Do you research! Dr. Cruise was my second surgeon. 5 years ago I went to a local plastic surgeon who was well known, but had only a handful of gynecomastia patients. The first sign that I should have gone somewhere else was in the consultation when he didn’t even touch my chest and just looked at it. The result was what I like to call a deflation, where the pointedness of the nipple area was lipo’d out but 90% of the problem still remained. Finally, I dug deeper and did my research and that’s how I came across Dr. Cruise. He specialized in gynecomastia, even having a full page layout in his brochures, and doing commercials. He also has a large portfolio of past patient results. Dr Cruise was very detailed in the consultation about what to expect. He understood my fears and my expectations. His staff is awesome! Cristin was very patient with all my questions, and Jessica was great as I went through recovery.
My surgery. In order for me to achieve my goals, my procedure was a little more extensive. I had removed excess skin, tissue, and free nipple graft. Essentially he removed what was the size of my hand on each side and reattached my nipples. This was necessary to see the pec definition that had been hiding behind the gynecomastia. The surgery itself was painless and quick. 2 hours. Local anesthesia. I did enjoy the Xanax prior to surgery. I went home after for a brief period and then went about my day. I was in a compression vest and surgical wrap for a week.
My recovery. This is where your patience is needed. It was a week after surgery before I was down to just the compression vest and gauze over the nipples and incisions. After week 12, I was able to eliminate the taping. After 3 months, I was able to chuck the compression vests, but still advised to wear compression shirts for a few months after that. I will say it’s hard to realize your results until you get to 6 months.
My results. It’s been one year (May 2015) and the results are awesome. I am seeing the scars to get less and less red. I was told 1 – 2 years with scaring results. I can now wear tight tshirts, and in fact, I find myself sticking out my chest!

This is a long overdo review…
I received rhinoplasty with Dr. Cruise 2 years ago. The office is amazing and the staff always seemed helpful and great! 5 stars to them!
Day of surgery the onsite nurse was over an hour late. Surgery went well! No problems after at all! I was very happy with minimal bruising!
Returning to the office was another story. It was like they got paid so they didn’t care about my feelings. I waited a full year… Was completely over looked and not scheduled for a 6month or 1 year check up. When I finally called and made an apt it was exactly one year.
Let me start with saying my nose job was not a bad one AT ALL… BUT 3 things we discussed were not taken care of. Also a new problem occurred when –I assume it’s hard cartilage — kept making me sneeze and whenever I touched it was super itchy and uncomfortable. He told me not to touch it and made a joke about not sticking my finger in my nose.
He filled one side of my nose and not the other (so one side of my nose is wider than the other). It’s very embarrssing. I also brought up multiple other things we went over in the consult and was told «this is not a bad nose job, you need to remember what you started with». Fine, I agree I had a bigger nose, but that was very insensitive and made me feel very insecure. I kept pushing the issue that everything should have been fixed (it’s understandable not everything is perfect but this was 3 different things he missed). This place is crazy expensive… So I told him for that amount he should have met everything we discussed. He made a «you want to look like Michael Jackson» comment and I was completely upset about not being heard.
Tears after tears he offered me a thousand dollars back and when I said no… He walked out on me!!! The nurse was very understanding and was so nice! After I left, I came back 3 other times to be told NO on fixing the things he said he would fix in the first place. Finally I brought my husband– who referred me– and the Dr said he would redo it but I would have to pay almost three thousand in fees!
I really wish I would have just gone to another doctor that would have listened to me, not only before surgery but after. Everyone makes mistakes and it’s not easy to get things done in one surgery… But the drs lack of compassion and walking out on me makes me feel like I’ve made the biggest mistake. Also wasted a lot of money!!!
Don’t let the nice office and attractive staff fool you. They want your money and once they are done… So are you!

What a disappointment ! Any dr. That makes a patient wait over an hour just to be seen is not a fit for me! Busy business owner and mother of five, I don’t have time for that.
I have heard great things about him, but if you have a busy schedule this office is not for you

Dr. Cruise and his staff are indescribably amazing. Dr. Cruise is a master craftsman of cosmetic surgery, simply unparalleled. His staff is also very knowledgeable, caring, nurturing, patient, available, lovely, accommodating, etc. In short, they perfectly complement Dr. Cruise’s ability and his quality work.
I have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Cruise: gynecomastia surgery in June 2012, then a circumferential body lift in December 2013. Words cannot describe how far Dr. Cruise has exceeded my expectations. I am, literally, a new man today. I am confident, bold, outgoing, friendly, optimistic, charismatic, etc., all as a direct result of the transformation that I underwent at Dr. Cruise’s office.
My life is so much more fulfilling and meaningful now. I eat healthier, exercise on a regular basis and work as hard as I can to take care of and improve my new body. I feel as if Dr. Cruise has given me a fresh start on life and a chance to live to the fullest.
Attached is a before/​after picture showing the transformation. I can’t even describe how good I feel now and how many compliments I get everywhere I go. I take off my shirt WHENEVER possible. Sorry, a bit vain, I know, but I can’t help it. I left my shirt on trying to hide my body for many years. Now it’s time to make up for all that! :-)
Dr. Cruise is focused on quality rather than quantity and will not agree to a surgery if he isn’t 100% confident he can meet (and often exceed) your expectations. You will get personal 1 on 1 treatment and Dr. Cruise will cater to you specifically. He is also extremely personable. Be honest and open, as he will do the same.
Take a chance on Dr. Cruise if a cosmetic procedure is what you seek. I promise you will not be disappointed! Invest in yourself. Life is too short not to be as happy with yourself as possible. Don’t let anyone talk you out of or into this. Do this for yourself!

I would give Dr. Cruise and his staff 100 stars if I could!
From the minute I walked into his office for my consultation I was greeted with a welcoming smile. His office is clean and beautiful with state of the art equipment.
Dr. Cruise provided me with a patient portal where I can get information regarding my surgery and photos of what I wanted to achieve with my breast augmentation.
After 3 kids, I was due for a mommy makeover. I was shopping around for the best doctor to help me with my breast lift/​augmentation. After a few minutes of waiting, Cristin, Dr. Cruise’s patient care coordinator took me into a consultation room. She was so sweet, warm and extremely knowledgeable. She made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Cruise evaluated the damage and what was most suitable for my body and lifestyle.
I felt so happy and comfortable with our consultation, I immediately schedule a surgery date.
I was so nervous before my surgery, Cristin was so kind to check in with me though email and text. The attention to detail from the office is just incredible. I have never experienced anything like it before. They truly care!
On my surgery day Dr. Cruise made me feel so conformable before going into surgery. He paid a lot of attention to the markings and what we needed to correct. I think he knew I was super nervous, he even tucked me in like a baby in the surgery bed! Haha! Now, that’s a great doctor!!!
Now, 4 months post-​op… I LOVE my new breasts!!! They are PERFECT! Dr. Cruise did such an amazing job! The change is dramatic. They are higher, tighter and even closer together. Thank you Dr. Cruise for performing your magic.
I also have to mention how great his nurse Jennifer is too. During this entire post-​op process, she would call and check to see how I was doing.
It didn’t end there, I was also scheduled for multiple visits after the surgery. Dr. Crusie just wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and it is!
Dr. Cruise was so great, my mom even went to see him for an upper bleth and temple lift. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cruise for any of your plastic surgery needs, whether for face or body!
