Cosmetic Surgery in Tulsa for Springfield, MO Patients

Why Springfield patients make the drive

Choosing a cosmetic surgeon is a deeply personal decision. Some patients find the right fit close to home. Others decide that a specific surgeon's focus, training, or volume of experience warrants a trip. We see patients from communities throughout the region and well beyond state lines, and Springfield is one of the regional cities our practice regularly draws from.

Dr. Angelo Cuzalina founded Tulsa Surgical Arts with a focus on rhinoplasty, deep plane facelift, complex revision surgery, and total-body contouring. The practice operates from an AAAHC-accredited surgery center — the same accreditation standard used by many ambulatory surgical facilities nationwide. Our team of six cosmetic surgeons works alongside a nationally recognized cosmetic surgery fellowship dedicated to training the next generation of surgeons. That teaching culture means every technique is examined, refined, and held to evidence.

Starting the conversation: your consultation

Every surgical plan begins with a consultation. During this visit you meet your surgeon, discuss your goals, review your anatomy, and receive a candid assessment of what surgery can and cannot accomplish. For patients driving from Springfield, the consult team can help coordinate timing so you make the most of your trip.

You can reach us by phone at 918-392-7900, by text, or by booking online. Our office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Bring a photo ID, your completed patient forms, and a written list of every medication and supplement you take. The forms are available as PDFs on our website so you can print and fill them out before you arrive.

A consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. It is your opportunity to ask questions, understand the plan, and decide whether the surgeon and the facility feel right for you.

Planning surgery day and your stay

Our practice is located at 7322 E 91st St, Tulsa, OK 74133. Free on-site parking is available, and you can pull directly to the entrance for surgery-day drop-off and pick-up. After anesthesia, you may not drive yourself home, take a rideshare alone, or leave unaccompanied. A responsible adult must drive you and stay with you for the first 24 hours.

For patients traveling from Springfield, our private overnight guest suite exists for exactly this situation. You wake in recovery under one-to-one observation, then discharge to your driver or upstairs to the guest suite when that is the plan. Ask the consult team about the suite when you schedule your procedure.

On surgery day, wear loose, front-opening clothing and slip-on shoes. Leave jewelry, piercings, and valuables at home. No makeup, lotion, deodorant, or fragrance. Arrive at the time confirmed by the surgical team — it is set for your specific case.

Recovery and follow-up for out-of-town patients

Recovery timelines depend on the procedure. Your surgeon will outline what to expect, when you can travel home, and how follow-up appointments will be scheduled. When any written instruction differs from what your surgical team tells you directly, their instructions win.

About 165 miles is a manageable distance for follow-up visits. Many regional patients plan a short return trip for their post-operative check. The consult team works with you to minimize the number of trips while keeping your care on track. If you have questions between visits, our team is reachable by phone or text at 918-392-7900.

The practice behind the plan

Dr. Cuzalina is a past president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and a past president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. He has performed over 18,000 procedures. He was recognized as Physician Surgical Innovator of the Year at THE Aesthetic Show in 2018 and holds the SRC Master Surgeon designation in both Face & Neck and Trunk, Breast & Extremities.

Our AAAHC-accredited surgery center, our fellowship program, and our team of six cosmetic surgeons reflect a single priority: safe, detail-oriented care that preserves what makes each patient uniquely themselves. We welcome you to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss your goals and determine whether surgery is appropriate for you.
