Plastic Surgery Before and After Pictures of
Dr. Cruise's Patients
Dr. Cruise - The reason I decided to have a facelift was because of what my seven year old grandson said to me. He said "Grama you look like the lunch lady, she has wrinkles like you".
At that moment I decided to make an appointment for a consultation with you. You were also highly recommended by my daughter. Dr. Cruise your expertise is truly one of a kind. You are exceptionally genuine and your signature is truly on my face. Your staff, the anesthesiologist and the recovery nurses are extremely kind, knowledgeable and awesome. Dr. Cruise you took 15 years off of my tired appearance. I look younger, natural and refreshed. I love how I look and I owe it all to you.
Thank you and may God bless you! Sylvia
