Dr. Cruise was quoted in an article for OC Register:
Heidi Montag needs helium-filled implants...

Sometimes Less Is More
When Robert came to our office, he wasn’t looking to make a drastic change. He had just wanted our opinion on what he could do to improve his jaw line and profile. He had been to a previous consultation with another surgeon and did not have the best experience…
"The plastic surgeon near my house had a lot of suggestions. I came in wanting to really improve my profile and jaw line. The surgeon suggested a chin implant, and after looking at me for a few minutes went on and on and on how cheek implants would really do me good. He didn’t register the jaw implant that I mentioned which was the first red flag.
He then proceeded to take pictures and in doing the adjustments on Photoshop he barely moved the line on my neck, which was one of my main concerns. I wasn’t really into cheek implants. I had this bad feeling inside. Things just did not feel right, "says Robert.
Communication is one of the most important things in a consultation with a prospective plastic surgeon. We strive to really hear the patient's concerns and tailor the procedures to address the main problem areas. Robert appreciated our approach in keeping things simple.
“Upon doing research on the Internet, Dr. Cruise‘s website came up. His website is quite impressive. He has put A LOT of work into it to help educate patients. He is Board Certified, and I just had this good vibe inside that it would be a great fit. One thing I liked was that I saw a testimonial of somebody in my exact same situation. He had done a neck lift with somebody who never had a strong neckline ever and the results spoke for themselves.
Dr. Cruise had a lot of suggestions but he was also against doing certain things. He talked about doing a “Natural Look” and improving the “You” but not such a drastic change. Dr. Cruise went out of his way to educate me about different possibilities. This is a big deal, I shouldn’t be educating my potential surgeons; they should be teaching me.”
Robert decided on having the neck midline placation; a simple procedure done under local anesthesia, which produced a striking outcome.
“I’m very happy with the results. Dr. Cruise has artistic abilities, which is an essential quality in a successful plastic surgeon. His focus on detail and precision is also very important. But what impressed me most was his ability to understand and envision what I wanted.”
