Stratus Plastic Surgery

Stratus Plastic Surgery was founded by Dr. Okada to serve patients looking for safe, natural-looking aesthetic results. The practice describes itself as physician-owned and woman-owned. The office sits back from the road in Stonehenge Corporate Park, and surgeries take place at the Dublin Surgery Center or at Grant Medical Center in downtown Columbus.

A visit begins with an initial consultation that includes a full facial analysis and a conversation about goals and expectations. Consultations are held in private offices, and patient information is protected under HIPAA. Virtual consultations are offered alongside in-person visits, and video consultations are available for out-of-state patients. The practice describes its experience as concierge-style in an intimate, relaxing setting, with the stated aim of helping each patient feel confident in how they present.

Gender-affirming care is a major focus. Top surgery, also called masculinizing chest surgery, is offered to transgender and non-binary patients. The double incision free nipple graft is the main technique, and keyhole or peri-areolar approaches are reserved for patients who meet strict criteria. Candidates need a BMI below 40, a letter from a mental health provider, and nicotine-free status for at least six weeks, confirmed by a lab test. Pre-surgery consultations typically happen one to three months before surgery. Gender-affirmation patients have time alone with the doctor and do not share the waiting area with other patients.

Surgical services cover breast, body and face procedures, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, liposuction, labiaplasty, arm lift and facelift, along with earlobe repair, otoplasty, nipple and areola reduction and mole removal. Non-surgical options include Botox, chin and cheek filler, lip filler, Juvederm products, liquid rhinoplasty and laser hair removal. Most surgical procedures need at least two weeks of recovery, with most patients back to regular activities within six weeks. Most non-surgical procedures allow a return to work the same day or within a day or two.

Hand surgery covers thumb arthritis, carpal tunnel release, cubital tunnel surgery, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, Dupuytren's contracture, ganglion cyst removal and trigger finger release. The practice is in network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthCare, Medical Mutual of Ohio and OhioHealthy plans, but does not accept Aetna, CareSource, Medicare or Medicaid. Cosmetic and aesthetic services are paid at the time of service, and self-pay is available with financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit.

Focuses on patient safety first and builds each treatment plan around the patient's goals and expectations, with realistic outcomes discussed before treatment.

Set back in Stonehenge Corporate Park, the office is described by the practice as intimate and relaxing.
