“Upper Eyelid Surgery Has Given Me a Younger & More Rested Appearance - Newport Beach, CA”

Eyelid Surgery

"This is my 3rd surgery with Dr. C. The experience and results from my first 2 surgeries were so great that I knew Dr. C would be the best one to do my eyelid surgery. Dr. C has all the right qualifications, gives me great results and has a great bedside manner. He and his staff are friendly and caring. I don't think they could make the experience any better. I turned 47 a few months ago and I have never been happier with my appearance than I am now...thanks to Dr. C."

“The Added Fat to My Face Looked So Good That I Went Back for More - Newport Beach”

Fat Transfer

"This is my 3rd surgery with Dr. C and I couldn't be happier with my experience each time. I have loved the results of my previous 2 surgeries (fat transfer/facelift then breast augmentation)so I am sure the results from this last surgery will be just as great. Not only is Dr. C an extremely skilled surgeon, he is also very personable and caring. His staff is wonderful and supportive as well. I felt just as important during my final post-op follow-up appointments as I did during my first consultation."

“i love my results!! - Newport Beach”

Mommy Makeover

"Dr. C's attention to detail is impeccible. He is a true perfectionest!!! One of the things that I appreciate the most is his honesty and integrity. He will not do any kind of procedure or surgery if he feels that you are not a good candidate. He is not a money grubbin" Dr. He wants his paitients to have the best results possible, and he makes sure it happens!! I HIGHLY recommend DR. C, trust me you will be in great hands! His staff is so wonderful, caring and extreamly helpful. They are there for you every step of the way. He is also very affordable. I have had the following procedures by him: Botox, Reystelin injections, Tummy Tuck, Fat Transfer to the cheek and eyes, Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation and Lipo of the Flanks over a four year period. I love my results, and had no complications."

“Facelift, Fat Transfer and then Breast Augmentation - Newport Beach, CA”

Facelift

"I had a face lift and fat transfer with Dr. C in 11/09. The results were so good that I felt I looked young enough that I had a breast augmentation in April. I have never been more pleased with my appearance than I am at this time. Dr. C not only does fabulous work, but he also has a great caring bedside manner. He and his office are true professionals."

“Happy Birthday Ladies! - Newport Beach”

Breast Implants

"Why Dr. Cruise... because his expertise, attention to detail, wisdom, and artistic eye resulted in the natural, voluptous look I desired. Dr. Cruise was able to translate my desires into reality and guide me through a process that turned out to be one of the easiest things I've done. I experienced very little pain and discomfort. Though it is difficult to differentiate between a good and great Plastic Surgeon, my advice for anyone considering plastic surgery... research, research, research! It is worth it."
