Why patients travel from Killeen, TX
Cosmetic surgery is elective. You choose the surgeon, the facility, and the city. Some patients find the right match close to home. Others look further — across state lines — because a specific surgeon's experience, a specific procedure, or the standards of the facility matter more than proximity. Killeen, TX is about 312 miles from our practice, straight-line. That is a flight or a long drive, and patients from the region make it regularly.
Oklahoma Surgical Arts operates out of an AAAHC-accredited surgery center in Oklahoma City with two operating rooms. Dr. Angelo Cuzalina founded the practice and directs its AACS-accredited fellowship. The six cosmetic surgeons of the Tulsa Surgical Arts roster all serve Oklahoma City patients, and Dr. Trent Fogleman practices here full-time. You choose your surgeon and your city — surgery happens in Oklahoma City or Tulsa.
The consultation: virtual or in person
Every plan here begins the same way, whether you live seven miles away or three hundred. 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. Virtual consultations let patients traveling from Killeen have a thorough initial conversation without booking a flight first. When surgery is scheduled, a single in-person pre-operative visit confirms the plan. Ask for a specific surgeon when you book, or share your goals and the team will match you.
The practice offers the full menu: rhinoplasty, deep plane facelift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, eyelid surgery, mommy makeover, gynecomastia surgery, complex revision surgery, and total-body contouring. The scope is broad. The consultation narrows it to what is right for you.
Getting here and knowing what to bring
The practice is located at 12400 Saint Andrew's Dr, Oklahoma City, OK 73120. Parking is free and on-site. On surgery day, your driver pulls directly to the entrance for drop-off and pick-up. The team confirms your arrival time for your specific case — not a general clinic opening.
Bring photo ID, your completed paperwork, a written list of every medication and supplement you take, glasses and a case — no contact lenses. Wear loose, front-opening clothing and slip-on shoes. No makeup, lotion, deodorant, or fragrance on surgery day. Leave jewelry, piercings, and valuables at home.
After anesthesia you may not drive yourself home, take a rideshare alone, or leave unaccompanied. A responsible adult drives you and stays with you for the first 24 hours. For patients traveling from Killeen, planning that companion and a place to stay nearby the night of surgery is part of the process.
Surgery day and how the day flows
You arrive at the time confirmed by the surgical team. Check-in, pre-operative preparation, and a final review with your surgeon and anesthesia provider happen in sequence. You wake in recovery under one-to-one observation, then discharge home with your driver and your written instructions.
If your surgery is in Tulsa instead of Oklahoma City, the Tulsa flagship has a private overnight guest suite. Your consult, records, and photography follow you between cities. Either way, the same surgeons, the same standards, the same accredited facility.
Recovery and follow-up for traveling patients
Recovery timelines depend on the procedure. Your surgeon gives you written instructions specific to your case. When any instruction from your surgical team differs from general guidance, their instructions win. The practice phone is 405-751-0042 for questions at any point.
Many traveling patients schedule their first post-operative visit in person, then continue follow-up virtually when appropriate. The team coordinates that schedule before you leave. Planning the trip home — when you can sit comfortably, when you can fly — is discussed before surgery, not after. If you experience any emergency symptoms at any time, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room first.
