Amazing Results. One of the Best Decisions I've Ever Made - Newport Beach, CA

I am normally a very private and would not share this type of personal information however; my experience with Dr Cruise was so amazing I wanted to share my story with other women my age who might be considering breast augmentation and/or tummy tuck.


I am 61 years old have been very self conscious about my body for as long as I can remember. I have always worked out and maintained a healthy weight but age caused sagging breast and loss of muscle in my abdominal area. I did my homework and visited several surgeon in both Orange County and San Diego before choosing Dr Cruise to perform my surgery (tummy tuck, breast lift, beast reduction and augmentation). I wanted very natural looking breast and that is exactly what I have and my abdomen looks fantastic.

I am 8 weeks out and I'm amazed at how great my body looks. I have been smiling since the day of my surgery.


This was a huge decision for me but after my consultation with Dr Cruise I knew it was the right decision. I cannot say enough about the doctor and his staff. The decision to have this surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I could not be happier.

Great review?

Dr Cruise and his staff are amazing. I had consultations with five other surgeons but chose Dr Cruise because of the comfort level I had with him after our consultation. He took the time to answer my questions address my concerns and it was obvious that he was a highly skilled surgeon.
