I went to Tulsa Surgical arts in tulsa for a Rhinoplasty and some liposuction around the cheeks and neck. After visiting with Dr. Cuzalina approximately 5 times he made a typical, or non-typical, remark that he has patients lined up in the back and he really doesnt need the money if i am really not interested in the procedure. He came off as a pretty nice guy during most of the meetings, but this set off a red flag. I decided to go ahead with the surgeries anyways because he seemed genuinely nice at the time.
In the preparation room,before the surgery, i asked the nurse that if i didnt like what was done with my face, or if it needed revision, how would the process work. She said that if there was anything i didnt like about my nose after the procedure Cuzalina would fix it.
Results : after 6 total visits he still didnt do what i ask. Whats more, he kept 5 other people in the room with him during our conversations, said what he wanted to say, then left. Injected one side of my face with a steroid that made my cheek sink in, but didnt do the other, now one side is more defined. He didnt offer to fix anything, and pretty much blew me off.
For the love of your body, dont pick a surgeon because someone else recommends him or because he comes off genuinely nice...thats not enough. And dont be fooled by anything the surgeon or his staff says. Get it all in writing and if he comes off pushy walk out of his office.
