- Medical Weight LossIf you have successfully achieved significant weight loss, sometimes portions of the upper and lower body can hang or sag uncomfortably.
- Primary CareAbdominoplasty is also known as a tummy tuck. This surgery removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the abdominal muscle giving the abdomen a much flatter appearance. Abdominoplasty combined with diet and exercise rewards the patient with a wonderful result. Abdominoplasty is not designed for patients to lose weight, but some patients do experience some weight loss after this procedure. Abdominoplasty can also be done with Vaser liposuction of the flank areas for a greater result. Patients who are 40 years of age or older will need a medical clearance from your primary care physician before surgery.

- Labor and DeliveryBreast augmentation surgery is performed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts by placing an implant behind the breast tissue. Some women choose augmentation because she feels her breasts are too small in comparison to the rest of her body. Other women want to restore their breasts after seeing changes due to childbirth, weight loss and volume loss due to aging. For these women, having breast augmentation surgery not only improves the physical appearance but also their self esteem. Of our breast augmentation patients, 80% are mothers who just want to restore a more youthful appearance to their breasts.
- UltrasoundDr. Mathers uses the VASER System of ultrasound energy to break up and emulsify fat, leaving surrounding tissue – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue – relatively intact. Unwanted fat can be efficiently removed from abs, arms, back, hips, knees, love handles, neck and chin, saddlebags, and thighs. If you are seeking a new body contour that is smooth as well as shapely with minimal discomfort, then VASER lipsuction could be just right for you.

- Brow LiftBrow lift surgery is indicated when the brow region begins falling down in an inferior fashion. This gives the appearance of tiredness or unhappiness to the face and eyes. Brow lift surgery will also help alleviate the horizontal and vertical lines in the mid and upper forehead regions. People are sometimes concerned that a brow lift will give a ‘surprised” look to the face. But today’s technique using an endoscope alleviates the problem of an over elevated brow.
- Eyelid SurgeryDr. Mathers can help you determine whether brow lift surgery is indicated or just upper or lower eyelid surgery to obtain your personal goals in your appearance.

Mathers performs liposuction plastic surgery to address stubborn fat deposits that can often resist your best efforts at diet and exercise.

- Breast AugmentationWe use the infra-mammary approach for placing smooth saline or silicone implants in a sub-muscular position. This approach is used by 90% of plastic surgeons in breast augmentation. The advantages in using the infra-mammary approach include easier placement for the surgeon, well hidden scars, decreases potential problems in loss of nipple sensation, and has the overall fewest number of complications compared to other techniques. In addition, post operatively, there is less pain with the infra-mammary approach. All implants are placed behind the pectoralis muscle except for isolate cases. 90% of the implant we use is the new FDA approved 3rd generation gel implants.
- Breast ReductionWomen with overly large breasts can suffer a variety of medical problems due to the weight of their breasts. Back and neck pain are common complaints, as well as pain caused by wearing bras intended to offer support. Tulsa plastic surgeon Dr. Mark L. Mathers offers breast reduction plastic surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, as a surgical form of relief from these problems.
- Breast LiftTime, gravity, and physical factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and weight gain or loss all contribute to the problem of sagging breasts. These factors, alone or combined, can lead to a loss of skin elasticity. The skin can no longer support the higher, firmer breast profile you would like to have. A breast lift improves the contour of the breast by removing excess skin and reshaping the remaining tissue.

- AbdominoplastyBefore surgery, patients sometime express concern about resulting scars. Scars are well hidden just below the bikini line in their bathing suits and undergarments. Patients are more than happy to trade the well hidden scar for a flatter, tighter stomach with no excess skin. Abdominoplasty does not address excess skin in the flank areas. Another procedure, a body lift, will address the excess skin of the flank areas. Call our Tulsa plastic surgery office at 918-749-7177 to schedule your personal consulation with Dr. Mathers

- Cosmetic SurgeryChoosing an experienced and talented plastic surgeon will take time and research. The number of years of experience is important and should influence your decision. Board certification in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is crucial. Some people are unaware that there is nothing to prevent non-specialized physicians from performing cosmetic surgery. For instance, a physician can be trained and certified in OB/GYN, General Surgery, Ears, Nose, and Throat and even Oral Surgery but also perform cosmetic surgery. To verify the prospective plastic surgeon’s credentials, one should ask direct questions: is the surgeon board certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and does he/she hold surgical staff privileges at area hospitals to perform the recommended procedures. If the surgeon does not have the proper certification, he will not be credentialed within this specific category at major hospitals and patients should be wary. Lastly, one of the best ways to choose a plastic surgeon is word of mouth. Dr. Mathers does not advertise and 90% of his referrals are from previous patients.
