A Touch of Brilliance
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 Milwaukee and launched Zelko Aesthetics. From there, he began researching better ways to do body contouring. As a result, one of Milwaukee's top cosmetic surgeons, 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.
Dr. Zelko, aka Dr. Z, is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He completed his post-graduate training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at St. Joseph Hospital in Milwaukee. Dr. Z is a faculty member of The Society of Aesthetics in Medicine and offers monthly courses to physicians in Tumescent Technique (the local anesthesia used during the procedure) and Office Liposuction. He takes great pride in this appointment and feels honored to shape the future experiences for his students and their patients.
Thanks to ZBodySculpt, Zelko Aesthetics in Chicago and Milwaukee has grown into one of the nation’s leading body contouring practices.
ZBodySculpt refers to a suite of innovative procedures that Dr. Z uses in tandem to create a more contoured full-body physique. Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Dr. Z has performed thousands of procedures over the years and has helped people achieve the look they want without significant invasive surgeries, pain, or excessive downtime.
Following his success with body sculpting, Dr. Z’s attention shifting to another common cosmetic surgery practice in need of a touch-up: liposuction.
He spent countless hours reading up on the evolution of the procedure and evaluating different techniques. In the end, he felt that the liposuction methods at the time just weren’t taking advantage of the innovations that were out there. So, in true Dr. Z fashion, he invented his own: TickleLipo.
Dr. Tim Zelko’s TickleLipo treatment revolutionized the industry by reducing the size of incisions and by only having to utilize local anesthesia.
Patients experience a “tickling” sensation as the cannula removes the fat from the treatment area. Through these advancements, Dr. Z is able to improve results and recovery times for his patients with this minimally invasive procedure. View Dr. Z’s Lipo Chart to see exactly how TickleLipo is different from other methods. Additionally, Dr. Z took this innovative technique and applied it to other common body sculpting techniques. These procedures include:
TickleTuck (Tummy Tuck + TickleLipo)
TickleLipo (TickleLipo for the Midsection)
TickleTite (Renuvion + TickleLipo)
World Class Results. Midwest Manners.

The Z-Spa For Your Rejuvenation Vacation
When was the last time that you took a vacation that actually was focused on you? When most people think “vacation,” they think of doing something fun and exciting in an exotic location.

Whether you need a full rejuvenation or just a quick “daycation”, the Z-Spa offers peels, facials, fillers, Botox and other injectables, dermaplaning, microneedling, liquid facelifts, and other high-quality rejuvenating skincare treatments.

MiraDry
If you experience excessive sweating (like 10% of the population), there have been limited solutions to help you. miraDry is changing that by offering the only FDA-cleared thermal energy treatment to permanently reduce excessive perspiration and odor. Dr. Z is always on the lookout for better ways to solve issues for his patients, and he believes miraDry is that solution for those suffering from hyperhidrosis.
Y Lift
The facelift is one of the hallmarks of cosmetic surgery. It is also traditionally invasive, with a multi-week recovery time. Dr. Z wanted to find another option. In his research, he learned about the Y Lift; a revolutionary new closed facelift technique that uses external manipulation of the muscle and dermal fillers to recreate the effects of a facelift on the cheeks and jawline without surgery. Dr. Z is part of a select group of cosmetic surgeons around the nation trained in the Y Lift technique.
