Surgical Mission
LEARN WHY DR. CROSS AND DR. LYONS ARE TRUSTED WITH MORE THAN 1,000 COSMETIC SURGICAL PROCEDURES EACH YEAR
Dr. Kevin Cross and Dr. Jackie Lyons’ philosophy and surgical mission for the Philadelphia area's Cross Medical Group is to develop an individualized treatment plan for each of their patients. They then use their breadth of experience to ensure that their 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 and Dr.
Lyons believe 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. Lyons or Dr. Cross about their goals, and they simply listen. Then they do an exam and share their 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 their aesthetic goals. Listening, planning, and executing are the fundamental principles Dr. Lyons and Dr. Cross follow for every surgical patient.
