Cosmetic Surgery in OKC for Lubbock, TX Patients
Lubbock is about 282 miles from our Oklahoma City practice — a flight or a long drive. Here is how patients who make that trip plan their consultation, surgery, and recovery.

Why Lubbock patients look to Oklahoma City
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.
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. His published case volume exceeds 18,000 procedures, with particular focus on rhinoplasty, deep plane facelift, complex revision surgery, and total-body contouring. The six cosmetic surgeons of the Tulsa Surgical Arts roster all serve Oklahoma City patients, and Dr. Trent Fogleman practices here full-time.
The full menu includes breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, mommy makeover, gynecomastia surgery, and facial surgery. 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 seven 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.
Virtual consultations let Lubbock patients have a thorough initial conversation without booking a flight. 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.
That virtual option means you can begin the process from Lubbock and travel only when it counts — for your pre-operative visit and for surgery day itself.
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), phone and charger. 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.
Patient forms — registration in English and Spanish, the HIPAA privacy notice, the financial policy, and procedure-specific documents — are published as PDFs so you can print, fill out, and bring them with you.
Your driver, your first 24 hours, and recovery planning
After anesthesia you may not drive yourself home, take a rideshare alone, or leave unaccompanied. A responsible adult drives you home and stays with you for the first 24 hours. On surgery day, your driver checks in with you, stays reachable by phone for the entire day, and receives your discharge instructions in person.
For Lubbock patients, that means planning a companion for the trip. Some patients stay overnight in Oklahoma City before driving back. If your surgery is performed in Tulsa instead, the flagship has a private overnight guest suite — your consult, records, and photography follow you between cities.
When any written instruction differs from what your surgical team tells you directly, their instructions win. The practice phone is 405-751-0042 for any question before or after surgery.
Non-surgical options on the same standards
The practice also offers BOTOX®, Jeuveau™, Dysport, and XEOMIN®; Juvéderm, SkinVive, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Versa; and physician-dispensed skincare. These are delivered on the program's standards — consultation first, never a cart.
If you are traveling from Lubbock for a surgical procedure, non-surgical treatments can sometimes be coordinated during the same visit. Ask the team when you schedule your consultation.
