Tulsa Surgical Arts Reviews
I had the bags under my eyes. But not now! Thank You Tulsa Surgical Arts! š
After losing over 100 lbs Dr. Cuzalina has helped me find my way back to my old self. I had a lower face and neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty & laser on June 22nd. My results have been beyond amazing! My scarring is impossible to see even when you know it is there! Most are hidden behind my hairline and the ones along the ear are perfectly placed. Dr. C. never fails me and his staff are the very best!! They make the whole experience incredible.
I had a wonderful experience with Tulsa Surgical Arts. I used Dr. Anthony Congiusta for a tummy tuck with associated lipo and a breast lift with augmentation. I can not describe how happy I am with my results. People close to me are blown away by the difference and amazed it was possible to get the results that I did. Dr. Congiusta gave me my life back ( not trying to sound dramatic but it is true) in so many ways. I not only had lost almost 100lbs but I breastfed for a combined 5 years so there was a lot of damage that had been done to my body. I now look and feel like I always have in my mind but physically never matched. When I went in for my consultation I asked Dr. Congiusta what set him apart from other surgeons and he said his genuine care for his patients and the individual attention he provides to each patient. His answer struck a cord with me and he proved his answer to be true. Dr. Congiusta is seriously the nicest man and makes you feel very comfortable. This combined with his skills as a surgeon made it an easy choice when choosing who I was going to entrust with my body. It is scary trusting someone you don't know with your health and appearance but he made it as easy as possible. After surgery I purchased a lymphatic massage package from Brandy. This made a world of difference in my recovery. It was so nice to have someone lay eyes on my incisions and progress weekly, it gave me peace of mind. Brandy sent pics every session to Dr. Congiusta so he could monitor my progress as well. Brandy answered every question I had with unmatched expertise. I honestly looked forward to our sessions because it was such a great experience every time. Her work really cut down on the amount of swelling and moved the healing process along. I truly believe my results look more like someone 6+ months out at only 3 months. If you are taking this step being fully committed to the post care is essential and a huge component of that is seeing Brandy. The staff is amazing as well. When I came in for follow up appointments or lymphatic massages they all knew my name and were friendly/helpful. I always felt welcomed and supported. If you are thinking of having any kind of work done I strongly suggest going for a consult because you won't be disappointed.
I have struggled with my eyes for many years. I had so much excess skin above and around my eyes. Bags underneath that were worse with allergies. I also had an umbilical hernia repair that needed done for over 15 years. I made a consultation appt with Dr Cuzalina to fix both of my issues. He and his staff made the whole process easy from start to finish. I am 100% satisfied with the office, staff, and Dr. C. We will definitely be back for any future procedures.
As a 57 year old woman I was unhappy with the area under my eyes, I had dark circles and hollowness and started to develop fat pockets. I looked tired all of the time. I tried fillers several times that left me unhappy ā¹ļø. I started visiting Dr. Angelo Cuzalinas office Tulsa Surgical Arts in Tulsa for laser treatments 2 years ago and after talking to Dr. Angelo Cuzalina about the area under my eyes and seeing photos of his work I knew he could help me. I scheduled an appointment for an lower eyelid blepharoplasty in January of 2020. It has been 6 weeks and Iām so glad I made the decision to have this done. I had no pain and healed quickly. Iām excited about the results and my husband tells me he can see a big difference. Dr. Angelo Cuzalina is a great surgeon and you can tell that he cares very much for what his patients want to accomplish. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting plastic surgery. Fran B.

Is An Eyelid Lift For You?
Blepharoplasty is a facial cosmetic surgery that Dr. Cuzalina performs on both women and men. When the skin starts to lose elasticity, it causes bags or excess skin around the eyes. Typically developing in older adults, it may also happen at an earlier age for patients who have a genetic predisposition. During your initial consultation, Dr. Cuzalina will discuss your cosmetic goals, listen to your medical history, and determine if this procedure is right for you. In most cases, ideal candidates have sagging skin and folds on the upper eyelid or puffy skin underneath the lower eyelid. These issues can create functional problems that hinder your ability to see. For some patients, the condition is caused by underlying issues, such as an allergy or thyroid disorder. In these patients, the proper treatment may be medical rather than surgical. Additionally, if you experience chronic dry eyes, please let us know about this problem because it could exacerbate your condition. Once Dr. Cuzalina has determined if this treatment is right for you, he will create a detailed treatment plan. If you want a more awakened appearance, blepharoplasty can help you see, look, and feel better.
How is an Eyelid Lift Performed?
Depending on your type of blepharoplasty, Dr. Cuzalina will administer general anesthesia or IV sedation. During your procedure, he may perform it on the top of the eyelid, under or on the bottom eyelid, or a combination of both. If needed, patients can also combine this procedure with other treatments, including a facelift or brow lift.
- Upper
To increase your field of vision and for a more appealing eyelid appearance, upper eyelid surgery decreases the folds of excess skin. The incision is placed along the natural crease to remove loose skin and fatty tissue. - Lower
Lower blepharoplasty reduces puffy and bulging skin underneath the lower lid. The incision is made along the lash line so Dr. Cuzalina can remove excess tissue and fat. The incision placement also reduces the appearance of your scar. Next, he gently lifts the skin for a flatter, smoother look. If you experience discoloration or for additional smoothness, we may use a nonsurgical laser procedure and injectables.
Following the completion of your surgery, Dr. Cuzalina closes the incisions with a fine, absorbable suture.

About UsWhat Can I Expect After an Eyelid Lift?
Depending on if you have one or both eyelids treated, blepharoplasty can last for up to two hours. After the procedure, you will need a few days to recover and rest at home. To reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort, patients can use cold compresses. Your blepharoplasty results may last a decade or longer; however, even though they last long, aging does not stop. To continue enhancing your surgical results, we can use noninvasive treatments, such as wrinkle relaxers, fillers, and lasers.
Blepharoplasty FAQs
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery costs can vary based on whether you are having a lower eyelid lift, upper, or both. As soon as your treatment plan is created in your consultation, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina can discuss estimated costs. To get results that look natural and last for many years, it is better to concentrate on finding an experienced surgeon whom you are comfortable with, like Dr. Cuzalina, instead of trying to find the cheapest place. To help you afford great results, Tulsa Surgical Arts takes several payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest financing.
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
When excess skin is compromising your vision, your health insurance may cover some of your eyelid lift. Please talk to Dr. Cuzalina in your consultation if you may be using your insurance. Someone at Tulsa Surgical Arts will help you submit the needed information and paperwork to your provider to consider your claim. Generally, you will need a diagnosis from an optometrist or ophthalmologist that blepharoplasty is medically necessary to improve your field of vision.
What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Eyelid surgery not only helps to refresh your face, but it can also give you other benefits. You may discover your vision field expanding when loose skin from your upper eyelid is removed. It is also easier to apply eye makeup once your upper eyelid is smooth. Eliminating fine lines, paper-thin skin, dark circles, and puffy bags under your eyes may help your eyes appear fuller and brighter without a lot of makeup.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Forehead wrinkles and Crow's feet may be better addressed with a facelift or brow lift as the improvements of eyelid surgery are limited to the eyelids only. Blepharoplasty can also be performed with a nonsurgical procedure such as BOTOXĀ®, which can smooth wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. An injectable filler may help to add volume to hollow areas for a smoother appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Cuzalina will develop your unique treatment plan to fit your needs and goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Nonsurgical skin tightening plus injectable treatments (for example, JUVĆDERMĀ®, BOTOX, and RestylaneĀ®) can give you some improvements. Although, if you have moderate to severe sagging skin or want results that last a long time, eyelid surgery would be better than a nonsurgical treatment. When you have talked to Dr. Cuzalina about your concerns and goals for your eyes, he will give you his suggestions for your surgical or nonsurgical treatment plan. He may also recommend combining both surgical and nonsurgical procedures for your best results.
Younger-Looking Eyes
If you find it difficult to see or apply makeup because of hanging skin on your upper eyelids, or you feel frustrated by puffy bags underneath your eyes, then blepharoplasty could help you treat these problems. At Tulsa Surgical Arts, eyelid surgery helps patients attain a rejuvenated appearance and address their vision impairment concerns. If this procedure is right for you, Dr. Cuzalina will create a tailored treatment plan, and his billing staff can provide information about cost and financing plans. We encourage you to contact our office in Tulsa, OK to learn more and schedule a consultation with Dr. Angelo Cuzalina.
