With Dr. Z's Tickle Tuck, you have a revolutionary tummy tuck procedure that is less invasive, and can be performed awake, providing a more comfortable procedure with a faster recovery time. You get the benefits of a Tummy Tuck, but the downtime is significantly reduced.
Traditional full abdominoplasty is a more aggressive procedure that removes a large amount of excess skin on the upper and lower abdomen. Since a lot of skin is removed and pulled down toward the pubic bone, navel repositioning is required. A new hole is made for the belly button. Ab muscles are stitched together for further abdominal tightening. This procedure is done in a hospital with the patient fully sedated using general anesthesia.
Tickle Tuck, however, is a skin-only tummy tuck with gentle Tickle liposuction. It is performed in the office; No hospital stay is needed. It can remove small to large amounts of hanging abdominal skin on the lower belly, as well as excess fat. You are awake during the procedure. It doesn’t hurt, thanks to a local anesthetic.
First, the entire tummy area is numbed. Tickle Liposuction is then performed. Extra skin is marked and removed. During the procedure, the skin is comfortably tightened from the ribs down to the pubic area while you remain awake, relaxed, and pain-free, thanks to Dr. Zelko’s specialized technique. Unlike a full tummy tuck, the ab muscles aren’t stitched together.
Patients love seeing their tummy tuck before and after results. Tummy tucks leave you with a flatter, more attractive abdomen — minus the hanging skin folds. Tighter skin and less fat is visible from Day 1, as excess skin and fat is surgically removed during the operation.
Swelling is a normal reaction to any surgery. Post-op swelling can take up to 1 month to subside. Most tummy tuck swelling goes down in a few weeks, revealing a preview of your tummy tuck results. Dr. Zelko takes care to make the scar as least visible as possible.
With Dr. Zelko's innovative Tickle Tuck, patients stay awake and relaxed during the procedure and it allows for minimal downtime.
Patients have been known to drive themselves home directly after and return to work the next day! This is a unique treatment you do not find offered anywhere else.
The alternative is a traditional abdominoplasty which includes muscle repair and is done under general anesthesia. Many people do not actually require this severity of repair, yet it is performed routinely by a majority of cosmetic surgeons.
Skin and fat removal along with belly button repositioning are typically all that is necessary for amazing transformative results. Dr. Zelko specializes in this type of tuck which he likes to call a TickleTuck procedure. This procedure is performed in the office while the patient is awake and comfortable.
You can get the figure you desire with Dr. Zelko's specialty - the unique Tickle Tuck procedure - and be able to enjoy your new figure right away with a drastically reduced recovery period and discomfort level.
"My Zelko Aesthetics experience was amazing! The office environment was calm, inviting and relaxing. The assistants had smiles on their faces, welcoming and were always available to answer my questions, even if they had to get back to me. Dr. Zelko is honest (not a brutal) medical professional, he laid out exactly what I should expect from my Avelar Procedure. He has a calm tone, great bed side manner, and excellent demeanor. Christine the MA, was so kind and helpful she genuinely cared about me. My RESULTS exceeded all expectations, Dr. Zelko did an AWESOME JOB! I am IN LOVE with myself…Thank you Dr. Zelko!!!" - U.J.
"Dr. Zelko is very conscientious that his clients understand the procedure being done and what the restrictions will be afterwards. In hindsight, everything he explained is precisely how it was. I was impressed that Dr. Zelko himself called me the evening following surgery to check on how I was doing and answer any questions I had. He made me feel very comfortable in calling either himself or the office for any questions or concerns that I had." -Zelko Aesthetics Patient
“I’m beyond happy with my result. I didn’t walk away from the procedure expecting a completely new body, that would be ludicrous. I did walk away from it hoping for an improved version of myself, and that’s exactly what I got. This has boosted my confidence completely, knowing I am the vision of what I had for myself. I’d recommend Dr. Z, and his practice in a heartbeat.” -S.D.
Known by his patients as Dr. Z, Dr. Tim Zelko is one of America’s leading cosmetic surgery innovators.
After a tremendously successful 23-year OBGYN practice, Dr. Z’s relentless curiosity and drive led him to change his practice focus in 2006; from OBGYN to Cosmetic Surgery. He became a board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Chicago in Milwaukee and launched Zelko Aesthetics. From there, he began researching better ways to do body contouring. As a result, Dr. Z developed ZBodySculpt – the most complete body contouring offering in the country. ZBodySculpt became a hit in the world of cosmetic surgery, with Dr. Z performing thousands of ZBodySculpt procedures on patients seeking cosmetic surgery in Milwaukee, Chicago, and around the globe.
