Step 8
SURGERY DAY
So it is time for the big day and of course everyone has a mixture of feeling excited and nervous. We want to reassure you that you are in the best hands and everything has been taken care of. Routinely, we will provide you with some medication (Xanax) to take the night before to relax you if you feel the need. Be sure not to take this the morning of surgery as it may affect your anesthesia.
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
