I recently had breast augmentation and rhinoplasty...
I recently had breast augmentation and rhinoplasty surgery back in June 2014 and just had my final follow up appointment with Dr. Cruise. (The price I listed included both surgeries). I have so many good things to say, it is hard to list them all, but I will start from the beginning.
I had been self conscious about my nose for quite some time. I had a bump on my nose that I did not like. Most of my features are dainty, and I did not feel like the bump on my nose fit right with my face. Having small breasts never bothered me (I was originally an A cup) but when I decided to have surgery done on my nose, I decided I wanted to have breast augmentation done as an added plus.
When I finally had the money, I decided it was time to start making consultation appointments. I had talked to three other doctors before coming to see Dr. Cruise. I was immediately impressed from the time I called to set up my initial appointment. Dr. Cruises' staff is as good as it gets. The girls are all so sweet, very knowledgeable, and will make you feel right at home.
Not even five minutes into my consultation, I knew Dr. Cruise would be the right fit. I was very impressed with their consultation services. They have you describe what you would like on a computer program before you come in. The program has illustrations in order to help you describe what you want done. It was almost like choosing from a menu. Some of the questions for the breast augmentation included:
- Do you want the size difference to be slight, moderate, dramatic, or very dramatic?
- Do you want no gap, a small gap, medium gap, or a natural gap?
- Do you want the breasts to have a more full look, or have a more natural (droop) look?
Etc....
I thought to myself that if he could really pull this off and customize the surgeries exactly as I wanted I was going to be very impressed.
During the consultation, and as we went through my responses, Dr. Cruise and his assistant Kristin really listened to what I had to say. I could tell it was their goal to make sure I would have the results I wanted to achieve. One thing that I really stressed and was really important to me, was that I still wanted to look like myself. I wanted the bump on my nose to be removed, but I wanted my nose to still look natural. As for the breasts, I wanted to be somewhere between a C and D after the surgery. I did not want to have humongous fake looking boobs. We decided to go with 350CC silicone implants, to have a more natural look.
Let me say that after the surgery I could not have been more pleased with the results. (And yes, he really did customize every detail as he said he would) Dr. Cruise really is an artist. My nose came out EXACTLY how I wanted it to. I was very impressed. It makes a dramatic difference to me, yet I still feel like I am the same person. I can say the same thing for the breast augmentation. I think the sizing we went with was perfect. Again, it makes a difference but they are not shocking, they look natural.
As for the healing process, I was shocked at how quickly I was able to recover. Yes, the boobs definitely hurt for the first week and felt heavy, but this feeling soon went away. (As of today I forget they are there). As for my nose I felt little to no pain at all. I was impressed at how little bruising I had. Within about a week and a half the bruises were nearly gone.
I really cannot thank Dr. Cruise enough. The surgery went great and I could not be happier with the results. Believe it not, after I had my final follow up it was bitter sweet. The staff is so nice there it was hard to say goodbye!
Another thing I would like to mention... Some people may find him to be on the pricey side, but let me tell you it is worth every penny. When it comes to something like plastic surgery you do not want to go with the cheapest option. It is true that you get what you pay for... So when all is said and done, I think his prices are very reasonable, because he does absolutely fantastic work!
Also, special thank you to his staff members who worked with me including Jessica, Jen, Kristin, and Yvonne. Keep up the great work ladies! And thank you very much Dr. Cruise!

In my opinion, one of the most important things when choosing a doctor, is finding one that has your best interests in mind. Dr. Cruise gives you realistic expectations, and there are no surprises. He is a rarity amongst plastic surgeons, he is an honest man who will not make any false promises. He is very ethical in his practice and he would never do any unnecessary procedure (as some doctors will just to make extra money).
