Statement: Dr. Timothy Zelko has devoted his career to helping women feel more empowered and confident in their bodies by reaching their full potential. Passionate about patient satisfaction, Dr. Zelko ran a successful OB-GYN practice for 23 years before realizing the power of aesthetic medicine and shifting his focus to cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Zelko founded Zelko Aesthetics in 2006 and has now spent over 15 years specializing in body contouring at his two practice locations: one in Naperville, in the greater Chicago area, and the other in Greenfield, in the suburbs of Milwaukee. Zelko Aesthetics has quickly grown into one of the nation’s most successful body sculpting practices, offering a unique combination of procedures to help women reach their aesthetic goals.
“Our philosophy is to listen to what you really want, and to give you honest feedback and a thorough education on the procedures that can help you meet your goals,” says Dr. Zelko. “You can also expect that your procedures will happen in a warm, friendly, thoughtful, and safe environment.”
Dr. Zelko frequently performs tumescent liposuction, in conjunction with treatments like the Avelar tummy tuck (a less aggressive and more discreet version of abdominoplasty) for a sleeker appearance. He also offers noninvasive body sculpting treatments like BodyTite skin tightening; Emsculpt, for building muscle tone while reducing fat; and Evolve by InMode, a powerful radiofrequency treatment that can help smooth and tone the body for a firmer, tauter look.
Dr. Zelko graduated from the University of Notre Dame and the Philadelphia College of Medicine. There, earned his doctorate of osteopathic medicine (DO), a holistic, full-body approach to medicine (along with training in a subspecialty) that affords patients uniquely comprehensive medical care. Dr. Zelko opted to continue his education by training in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Joseph Hospital in Milwaukee. At the peak of his OB-GYN career, Dr. Zelko delivered babies for 305 patients in a single year.
After shifting his focus specialty to aesthetic medicine, Dr. Zelko found that the empathy, warm communication skills, and surgical expertise he had developed as an OB-GYN helped set him apart from other providers in the space. Dr. Zelko trained extensively on procedures like VASER liposuction, Tickle Lipo, SlimLipo, and other innovative body contouring procedures before opening Zelko Aesthetics. Today, he offers monthly courses on tumescent liposuction to other doctors.
Outside of his busy practice, Dr. Zelko is a proud family man who enjoys spending time with his six amazing children.

In the first 5-7 days, you experience the inflammatory process; which includes swelling, warmth of the tissues, bruising and pain/discomfort.
These changes start to resolve and are followed by the proliferative process of healing, which is the slow resolution of all the above changes and then a...

Now 12 days out, you are in the proliferative process of healing, your body resolves the above changes; the swelling, bruising, tenderness and it is replaced with what I describe as your "lumpy/bumpy" period, which is the hardness you are experiencing. This is very normal, everyone...

In the right hands, with local anesthesia lipo procedures, Tickle is by far, the most comfortable way to achieve complete anesthesia of the area(s) to be treated. The way the infiltration (numbing) cannula passes thru the tissues, at most you should feel only an occasional little pinch, nothing else besides the vibration of the instrument and wetness from leakage of anesthetic...

300cc is nice amount to take out of your upper abdomen. Some results should be seen immediately on the table but the normal healing process which includes swelling for the first week or so, will minimize those visual changes. Besides for the swelling you may notice increased warmth to the tissues, some bruising and...

The fact that you asked about a fast heartbeat makes me think you had it under local with epinephrine being present in the anesthesia which could contribute to the rapid heart rate, esp. if an excessive amount of anesthesia had to be used to numb all the areas you had...

Usually this is just a fullness without any pain, redness or extra warmth in the area. If these other signs show up, then you should notify your surgeon immediately. Otherwise, you can just bring it to their attention at your one week visit.
Elevation of your pelvis when lying down may help resolve the problem more quickly. Usually within a few days, the...

As far as treatments, your choice should be determined by what result you are looking to achieve. In the areas you wish to have treated, you can loose up to 25-30% of the fat and usually will take 2 treatments to achieve that result with cool sculpting. Those treatments can be separated by 6-8 week interval. With this treatment there is no downtime and you can resume your...

Also, it all depends on how much fat you have in the areas in question. A pinch test of the tissues is helpful to know where you are starting. Then, depending on the thickness of that pinch, your surgeon can counsel you on a reasonable expectation on how much can be removed.The amount your surgeon...

The short downtime is secondary to the Tickle technology which minimizes the amount of tissue damage as part of the procedure. Less tissue damage, less inflammation, less pain and therefore quicker return to work. Those physicians that recommend prolonged time off work are, more than likely, not using Tickle...

What I always do with my patients is ask them "what are you looking to achieve?" "What results will make you happy?"
Then, given their problem area and what they want to see as a result, I can better assess them and tell them if a Tickle procedure done under local anesthesia will achieve that desired result.
This type of discussion will deliver a...

The anesthetic fluid runs out through your lower incision but unfortunately some of the fluid can bypass the incision and continue "south" and end up swelling your pubic area, penis and testicles.
Usually, as you describe, it is pain free but somewhat frightening at first. Your body will absorb this excess fluid in...

For you, working outside in the hot South Florida heat and wearing a full compression garment could cause you to experience skin irritation. Either wearing a cotton shirt under the garment to absorb the sweat better or ask your surgeon's nurse if you can switch to an abdominal binder. That will absorb better than the garment plus give you the compression you require...

Post-operative discomfort is normal from any procedure. And every one has a different degree of how they rate that discomfort. The fact that your last procedure was on your buttock, and typically we sit a good portion of our day, probably made it worse for you.
With that said, when I compare ( since I have used...
