Breast Augmentation for Yukon Patients: The Drive, the Consult, the Aftercare

A short drive from Yukon to the consultation room

Our practice is located at 12400 Saint Andrew's Drive in Oklahoma City. Yukon is about 11 miles away in a straight line — a drive, not a commute. Parking is free and on-site. On surgery day, your driver pulls directly to the entrance for drop-off and pick-up.

Every plan here starts the same way. You meet the surgeon. You are examined. You describe what bothers you in your own words. You leave with a written plan and a written, all-in number — both yours to keep, to decide on your own time. 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. If you prefer to start the conversation from home in Yukon, a virtual visit lets you have a thorough initial discussion before you drive in.

What breast augmentation actually involves

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 — sized to your frame, decided with you.

In the operating room, you receive anesthesia. 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.

Breast augmentation is this practice's flagship procedure, performed by the surgeons of the Tulsa Surgical Arts program. We operate in two operating rooms in Oklahoma City, and you may choose surgery in OKC or Tulsa. The facility is AAAHC-accredited and includes a private overnight guest suite.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult

Every surgery has risks. A firm scar shell can form around the implant — called capsular contracture — which can change the shape and cause discomfort. Surgery can address it. An implant can leak or break over time; broken implants are replaced or removed. Nipple sensation can change. Breastfeeding may be affected for some women. Implants do not last a lifetime. Plan on more surgery someday.

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. Other risks include bleeding, infection, visible scars, numb skin near the incisions, blood clots, problems from anesthesia, uneven results, and the possible need for another surgery. We review all of these with you in person.

In any emergency — spreading redness, warmth, pus, fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department first. Do not drive yourself.

Recovery week by week — what Yukon patients should plan for

The first few days bring chest tightness and soreness, similar to a hard workout. Walk the same day. Sleep on your back. By one week, most patients 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 — including chest workouts — is typically cleared. Implants soften and settle over months. Because Yukon is about 11 miles from the practice, follow-up visits are a straightforward drive. The team confirms your arrival time for your specific appointment, not a general clinic opening.

Your surgeon and the care team are reachable day or night after surgery. Post-operative instructions are specific to your procedure and your body. Recovery timelines are general guides; your surgeon will tell you what applies to you.

Your surgeon and your choice of city

The six cosmetic surgeons of the Tulsa Surgical Arts roster all serve Oklahoma City, and Dr. Trent Fogleman practices here full-time. Dr. Carisa Champion and Dr. Chase Nelson operate here through the week. You choose your surgeon and your city — surgery happens in Oklahoma City or Tulsa.

Ask for a specific surgeon when you book, or share your goals and the team will match you. You can see real breast augmentation results in our patient gallery. Results vary from patient to patient, and the gallery is there to help you understand the range of outcomes — not to promise a specific result.
