A short drive from South Tulsa to our surgery center
South Tulsa residents in the 74137 area are about three miles, straight line, from Tulsa Surgical Arts. That proximity matters most in the first days after surgery, when you will return for follow-up visits and want to minimize time in the car. A short drive home also means you settle into your own bed sooner on the day of your procedure.
Our facility is an AAAHC-accredited surgery center with a private overnight guest suite. If your surgeon recommends an overnight stay, you recover in a monitored, comfortable space rather than a hospital room. For most breast augmentation patients, however, the procedure is outpatient and you return home the same day.
What happens at the consultation
Breast augmentation adds size and shape to the breasts with implants. An implant is a soft shell filled with salt water or silicone gel. It sits behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle. At your visit, you and your surgeon choose the size and placement together based on your frame, your tissue, and your goals.
We spend time on proportion. The right implant for one person is not the right implant for another. Your surgeon evaluates your chest width, tissue thickness, and skin elasticity, then walks you through the options so the decision feels informed rather than rushed. You leave the consultation with a clear surgical plan.
This is also the visit where we review the honest risk list. Every surgery carries risks, and we go over all of them in person. Capsular contracture, implant rupture over time, changes in nipple sensation, and potential effects on breastfeeding are among the topics we discuss openly before you decide to proceed.
Surgery day and the procedure itself
Your procedure begins with anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Your surgeon places the incision, most commonly within the natural fold beneath the breast, with attention to keeping the resulting scar as discreet as possible. A precise pocket is then created for the implant, either beneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and the plan you discussed.
The selected implant is carefully positioned, and your surgeon evaluates its placement, symmetry, and overall proportion before closing. Incisions are closed in layers, typically with dissolvable sutures, to support proper healing. The entire process is methodical. There is no rushing the details that determine how your result looks and feels years from now.
Recovery and aftercare close to home
Because South Tulsa is so close, your post-operative visits are straightforward. Most patients return to the office within the first week, then at intervals your surgeon sets based on how you are healing. Being nearby means you can reach us quickly if a question comes up during recovery.
Implants do not last a lifetime. Plan on additional surgery someday, whether for replacement, removal, or revision. We discuss the long-term timeline during your consultation so there are no surprises. Honest planning now leads to better decisions later.
See real results in our patient gallery
Our patient gallery shows real patients photographed the same way before and after breast augmentation. You can view multiple cases and compare angles. These images give you a realistic sense of what the procedure can accomplish on different body types and frame sizes.
We encourage every prospective patient to spend time in the gallery before the consultation. It helps you articulate what you like, what you do not, and what proportions feel right for your frame. That conversation is the foundation of a good surgical plan. If you are ready to start, call 918-392-7900 or book a consultation through our website. We look forward to meeting you.
