About the Operating Facility
When considering plastic surgery, nothing is more important than your safety. For this reason, Dr. Cruise performs all of his procedures at the highest accredited surgical facility: Newport Beach Center for Surgery in Fashion Island, Newport Beach. The NBCS was established and accredited in 2002. This can be verified at www.aaahc.org.
Whoever brings you to NBCS the day of your surgery can either wait in the comfortable waiting area or go across the street to shop at beautiful Fashion Island. We will give them a call when you are ready to leave the Center.
Planning Your Surgery
The ambulatory surgery center offers the following guidelines for a pleasant and safe stay. The following information is recommended for the safety and protection of our patients.
-
Make transportation arrangements to and from the Center. Arrange for an adult to be with you for the first 24 hours after your surgery.
-
Notify your surgeon if you should develop changes in your health status prior to surgery (cough, fever, sore throat, flu symptoms).
-
After midnight, the day before the procedure, do not have anything to drink or eat (even water), unless instructed by your physician or anesthesiologist. Failure to follow these instructions may result in cancellation of your surgery.
Arrangements for Your Arrival
-
Dr. Cruise’s office and/or anesthesiologist will call you the day before your surgery to answer any questions.
-
Arrive at the Center one- to one-and-a-half hour prior to your scheduled surgery, as instructed at your pre-op.
-
Bathe at home. Do not apply cosmetics, lotions, creams or powders to your skin.
-
Remove contact lenses, cosmetics and jewelry.
-
Dentures should be worn but may be removed in the operating room.
-
Your clothes should be loose-fitting and buttoned in front rather than pulled over the head.
The Day of Surgery
A member of our staff will greet you and guide you through your admitting forms. Please bring your I. D. and medical insurance card. Don't forget your glasses.

- A staff member will admit you and assist you to the pre-op room. A nurse will direct you to your private dressing room, and you will be given a gown, booties and cap to wear.
