Dr. Timothy Zelko
Board Certified Physician – 24 Years Experience
Dr. Zelko is a board certified physician who has been in practice for 24 years. In the Fall of 2005, he became interested in adding liposuction procedures to his aesthetic practice. Liposuction has been and still is the most common aesthetic procedure performed in the US, averaging approximately 500,000 procedures per year. Dr. Zelko realized that this huge demand was significantly tempered by the fear of pain, complications and cost of the procedure.
Dr. Zelko’s due diligence led to the discovery of Office Liposuction technologies. These procedures addressed this huge demand while simultaneously delivering a new a level of safety, comfort and acceptability. And even though the anesthetic technology to allow this procedure to be done painlessly in an office setting had been available for the previous 20 years; the liposuction technology was just starting to develop.
With the encouragement of his friend and mentor, world renowned surgeon Dr. William Saye, Dr. Zelko investigated the LipoSelection procedure defined by Sound Surgical Technologies (SST). SST was the creator of the VASER System and the VASER LipoSelection procedure. They opened up their training to various non-plastic surgical specialties in January of 2006 and Dr. Zelko attended their first training course at the Vaser Institute in Denver, CO. The director of the course was, John Millard, M.D., a plastic surgeon. Dr Zelko also sought out more advanced Vaser training with Stephen Mullholland, M.D. in Toronto, Canada in May 2006.
