Surgery Day
Male Breast Reduction Surgery Day
The big day has arrived and you are feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about your male breast reduction surgery day. Rest assured, you are in great hands! All of the details have been taken care of by Dr. Cruise and his qualified team.
Routinely, we prescribe Xanax for you to take the evening before surgery if you are feeling nervous or anxious. Please take it if needed, but do not to take Xanax the morning of surgery as it may affect your anesthesia.
Dr. Cruise performs all of his general anesthesia procedures at the highest accredited surgical facility: The 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. And, his anesthesiologists, Dr. Cedric Choan and Dr. Michael Reines, are board-certified and specialized in cosmetic surgical procedures. Local anesthesia cases are performed in our office by Dr. Cruise and his medical assistants.
