Surgical Mission
Learn Why the Philadelphia Area's Dr. Cross is Trusted with More Than 1,000 Cosmetic Surgical Procedures Each Year
Dr. Kevin Cross' philosophy and surgical mission for the Philadelphia area's Cross Plastic Surgery is to develop an individualized treatment plan for each of his patients. He then uses his breadth of experience to ensure that his patients receive long-lasting, natural-appearing results that reach their aesthetic goals, whether with facial surgery, such as a facelift, rhinoplasty, or eyelid work, or a body procedure, such as a tummy tuck, breast enlargement, reduction, or lift, liposuction, or a combination of procedures.
This surgical mission is built on the idea that no single procedure is appropriate for every patient. Rather, the correct procedure must be chosen based on the needs of each individual. Dr. Cross believes that good plastic surgery means a patient should not look as if he or she has had plastic surgery. Instead, results should leave a patient looking more harmonious and rejuvenated. Achieving these goals always starts by listening. The first office visit takes time. During that time, patients talk to Dr. Cross about their goals, and he simply listens. Then Dr. Cross does an exam and shares his thoughts. Finally, a decision is made together. The final plan will give each patient the best chance at achieving their desired results. This plan is then reviewed multiple times before the procedures are performed. This allows patients to understand what their recovery experience will be and to fine tune the aesthetic goals. Listening, planning, and executing are the fundamental principles Dr. Cross follows for every surgical patient.
