Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kevin J. Cross, who serves patients in Pennsylvania.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Cross blends his training and education in classical plastic surgery techniques with a commitment to modern advances in technology and aesthetics. He is the Medical Director & Founder of Cross Medical Group with offices in Philadelphia and Villanova, Pennsylvania.

Cross Medical Group provides Philadelphia-area patients with a wide range of plastic surgery procedures and non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Led by Dr. Cross, the practice focuses on creating beautiful, natural-looking results for the face, body, and breasts.

Dr. Cross’ repertoire of procedures includes facelifts, eyelid rejuvenation, brow and forehead aesthetic surgery, nose surgery, breast augmentation and breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck procedures, arm lifting using a minimal incision approach, body contouring, and hand rejuvenation. He is also well versed in numerous BOTOX® and injectable filling techniques.

He is uncompromising in his dedication to providing the best care possible to his patients, starting with thorough consultations and extending through his wide repertoire of procedures and follow-up care.

Dr. Cross’ expertise is founded in his background. Having returned to Philadelphia from New York City—where he completed his general surgery and plastic surgery training at Cornell University, New York Presbyterian Hospital on the upper east side of Manhattan, and Columbia University on the upper west side— he is proud to include as his mentors some of the giants in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. His aesthetic surgery background stems not only from his experience in the Park and 5th Avenue offices of his professors, but also through his training at Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital and Lenox Hill Hospital, long felt to be two of the epicenters for cosmetic surgery. 

Prior to his general and plastic surgical training, Dr. Cross graduated as an AOA honors society member from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He then spent time as a research fellow at Northwestern University, where he studied how skin ages and what allows it to heal faster and better. He later became the primary investigator for the Tissue Regeneration Project at Cornell Medical Center, where he maintains an academic appointment. 

He brings with him the classical as well as the newest and most advanced techniques in aesthetic surgery, ranging from surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation to body enhancement and body contouring procedures. Now in his second decade of practice, Dr. Cross operates three to four full days a week. He performs more than 1,000 cosmetic procedures a year. His face and body aesthetic surgery practice, Cross Plastic Surgery, is one of the most desired in the nation. While wait times to see Dr. Cross can often be substantial, he never compromises on the time he spends with his patients.

Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, he achieved board scores that put him in the top three percent nationwide.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.

Throughout his line of work, Dr. Cross has authored five textbook chapters and has published extensively on aspects of both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and routinely presents at national meetings throughout the country. Recently, he headed a clinical study testing a new device to help minimize scarring during incision healing.
