Photo Review

While a face to face consultation is the preferred method for meeting Dr. Cruise for the first time, we understand this isn't always possible. The next best option is to schedule a virtual consultation.

Photos: Follow the photo submission guideline below and submit at least one set of photos for each view. If possible, take photos with a plain background, nothing on the walls.

Note: If you have long hair and are interested in a facial procedure, please put your hair in a ponytail when taking pictures.

Step 1

Take three photos.

Front, side, and oblique. Natural light, no makeup if possible, no smile. Phone camera is fine.

Step 2

Submit them privately below.

Add a few words about what you're noticing or hoping to understand.

Step 3

Get a personalized response.

Dr. Cruise's team reviews every submission. You'll hear back within 2–3 business days with an honest assessment.

What You'll Learn

  • What's actually changing structurally — beyond what skincare can address
  • Whether you're a candidate for non-surgical options, early intervention, or a facelift
  • Which technique is likely to fit your anatomy and goals
  • A realistic sense of timing — now, in a year, or later

The Three Photos We Need

Front view — looking straight at the camera, neutral expression

Oblique (45°) — head turned about halfway between front and profile

Side profile — full side view, ear visible

Tips for usable photos:

  • Hair pulled back from face and neck
  • Natural daylight, no harsh overhead light
  • No smile, no makeup (or minimal)
  • Camera at eye level
  • Plain background if possible

What Happens Next

Within 2–3 business days, you'll receive a personal email from Dr. Cruise's team with:

  • An honest read of what's changing
  • Which options — surgical or non-surgical — make sense for your stage
  • Whether a consultation is the right next step, or whether you've got time
  • Answers to anything specific you asked about

If you'd like to talk it through after, you can schedule a free 15-minute Pre-Consultation Call with our Patient Care Coordinator. No obligation either way.

Frequently Asked

Is this really free? Yes. No charge, no obligation to book anything afterward.

How private is this? Completely. Your photos are reviewed by Dr. Cruise's clinical team only. They aren't shared, posted, or used for marketing without your explicit written consent.

What if I'm not ready for surgery? That's often the most useful submission. Many people get back a roadmap of non-surgical options, timing recommendations, or "you've got time — here's what to do now."

How long until I hear back? 2–3 business days. If it's longer, check your spam folder, then email us directly.

Can I include a question? Yes — there's a field for it on the form. Specific questions get specific answers.
