Travel for Gynecomastia Surgery - Local Information
Many of Dr. Cruise's patients travel for gynecomastia surgery from all over the world. His staff is equipped to handle any of your needs when making arrangements to travel for gynecomastia surgery. The information below is just a sampling of information which will help you begin to plan for your trip. We recommend reaching out to your patient care coordinator for additional advice and recommendations.
If you plan to travel for gynecomastia surgery, and your procedure is being performed under general anesthesia, you will be required to stay at an overnight recovery facility for at least the first 24 hours following surgery. Our office will provide the necessary details about the recovery facility either at your consultation or when you confirm your surgery date.
Nearby Airports
Our office is located within an hour of 3 airports. The closest is John Wayne Airport (10 min) followed by Long Beach Airport (35 min) and finally Los Angeles International Airport (50 min). There are 3 additional airports you can look into if the others are not suitable for whatever reason. Burbank Airport (1 hr 15 min), San Diego International Airport (1 hr 30 min) and Ontario Airport (1 hr).
John Wayne Airport is typically preferred due to its ideal location (just 10 minutes from our office).

When you travel for gynecomastia surgery, it is our goal to make sure your stay in Newport Beach/Los Angeles is the most enjoyable it can be.
OVERNIGHT POST-SURGERY RECOVERY RETREATS
For larger cases performed under general anesthesia, such as upper body lift or multiple procedures performed at the same time, we may require overnight stay at a specialized facility. The two facilities listed below cater to post operative cosmetic patients. You may click on each of them to research more. Your patient care coordinator will guide you through the process, so please don't book anything until you speak to her.
