Breast Augmentation for Midwest City Patients
Midwest City is about 15 miles from our Oklahoma City practice — a straightforward drive to a consultation where you and your surgeon decide everything together.
By the surgical team of Oklahoma Surgical Arts ·
The drive from Midwest City
Our practice is located at 12400 Saint Andrew's Drive in Oklahoma City. Midwest City sits about 15 miles away as the crow flies — a drive, not a commute across the state. Parking is free and on-site. On surgery day, your driver pulls directly to the entrance for drop-off and pick-up.
Whether you come in for a consultation or for surgery itself, the team confirms your specific arrival time for your case. You are not waiting for a general clinic opening. You arrive, you are seen, and you leave with a clear plan.
What happens at the consultation
Every plan here starts the same way. You meet the surgeon. You are examined. You describe what bothers you in your own words. Implant size and placement are decided together — not handed to you from a chart. You leave with a written plan and a written, all-in quote, both yours to keep. There is no pressure in the room and none after you leave it.
Consultations are available in person at the Oklahoma City office or virtual from anywhere. A virtual visit lets you have a thorough initial conversation without making the drive first. When surgery is scheduled, a single in-person pre-operative visit confirms the plan.
The six cosmetic surgeons of the Tulsa Surgical Arts roster all serve Oklahoma City, and Dr. Trent Fogleman practices here full-time. You choose your surgeon and your city — surgery happens in Oklahoma City or Tulsa.
The surgery itself, in plain language
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that adds size and shape to the breasts using saline or silicone 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. You and your surgeon choose the size and placement together at your visit.
You receive anesthesia — medicine that makes you sleep. The surgeon makes a short incision, most often in the fold under the breast. A pocket is created behind the breast tissue or behind the muscle. The implant is placed, checked for position, and the incision is closed in layers with dissolving stitches. Surgery takes about an hour. You go home the same day.
The practice operates in an AAAHC-accredited surgery center with a private overnight guest suite. Breast augmentation is this practice's flagship procedure.
Recovery — what the weeks actually look like
The first few days bring chest tightness and soreness, like a hard workout. Walk the same day. Sleep on your back. By one week, most people with desk jobs return to work. No lifting over ten pounds. By two weeks, soreness fades and light lower-body exercise is usually fine.
At six weeks, full exercise resumes, including chest workouts. Implants soften and settle over months. For Midwest City patients, the drive back for follow-up appointments is the same short trip as the consultation — nothing that disrupts your recovery schedule.
Risks you should know before your consult
Every surgery has risks. A firm scar shell can form around the implant — called capsular contracture — which can change shape and cause discomfort. Implants can leak or break over time and may need replacement. Nipple sensation can change. Breastfeeding may be affected for some women. Bleeding, infection, uneven results, and the possibility of another surgery to fix a problem are all real considerations.
A very rare cancer of the scar tissue around some implants has been reported. Some patients report body-wide symptoms they link to implants. Removing implants is always an option. Implants do not last a lifetime — plan on more surgery someday. We go over every risk with you in person. In any emergency, call 911 first.
