I was nervous going to see another surgeon. The staff here made me feel comfortable specifically during the consultation Megan went over a few photos with me and shared her own experience which helped me decide what I wanted and needed and discussed the cost. Brandy gave me lymphatic messages which was most helpful after surgery. She took care of my body as it was healing, told me what garment to wear, and worked well with me on scheduling appointments. I had a previous surgery that needed fixed and now my body is finally looking like it should.

I originally had my breast augmentation scheduled with a different doctor and facility, but unfortunately, he retired before my appointment. I was then referred to Tulsa Surgical Arts and I’m so glad I was! From the start, Missi was amazing with scheduling and all things logistics. She is truly the sweetest person and made everything feel seamless. Dr. Gutierrez performed my surgery and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was kind, knowledgeable, and really took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted. Everyone I encountered, from the front desk to the nurses and the surgical team, was incredible. Their bedside manner was top-tier, so personable, caring, and reassuring. I was definitely nervous going in, but they made the entire experience comfortable and positive. Thank you all for the exceptional care!

I can’t say enough about this place. I get botox, laser hair, filler, and a massages here. They are amazing at it all!!i recently got a breast augmentation and the process has been beyond what i expected. Great outcome, simple scheduling and preop process, and the post op girl- Catherine was kind and understanding! She is very gentle and was so confident in her experience with answering my questions. They always give their honest opinions while keeping my goals in mind. I suggest them any time the topic comes up with my mom, friends, and anyone else who asks me!

Is Facial Reconstruction For You?

Facial reconstruction can help patients who have a birth defect, scars, or noticeable skin blemishes. It may also treat damage created by an accident or changes caused by tumor removal during cancer treatment. Providing dramatic results, facial reconstruction can balance your facial features, treat broken bones, or add structure. During your consultation, Dr. Cuzalina will assess your condition, listen to your medical history, and determine if the surgery is right for you. If so, a personalized treatment plan is created for all his patients so they can attain their desired cosmetic goals.

How Is Facial Reconstruction Surgery Performed?

Depending on the type of injury and the kind of tissue, Dr. Cuzalina will use specific techniques for your facial reconstruction procedure. Many injuries that involve the skin and soft tissues usually require scar revision treatments, which helps conceal the appearance. More complex trauma may involve bony reconstruction or a combination of bony and soft tissue reconstruction. Often, reconstructive surgery requires multiple operations to achieve the desired goal for both function and appearance.

What To Expect After Facial Reconstruction Surgery

After your surgery, you will experience some swelling and bruising. Generally, it takes about 5 – 7 days for the swelling to subside and about 10 – 14 days for the bruising to go away. If you plan on traveling to Tulsa Surgical Arts or you would like extra care following the surgery, Dr. Cuzalina offers an overnight guest suite. To reduce your stress, we can help you manage your bandages, walk you to the restroom, and help you take your first steps after the surgery. For patients who would like to return home, they will need a responsible adult to drive them and provide care during the first 24 hours. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Usually, these instructions include sleeping upright, avoiding strenuous activities, and caring for incisions or swelling.
