Pinehurst Plastic Surgery Specialists, P.A.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive technique for permanent fat reduction in areas of localized fatty fullness with patients who are not markedly overweight (within 30 lbs of your ideal weight). CoolSculpting can help both women and men get rid of those stubborn bulges for good. The fat freezing technique can reduce approximately 20 % of the fat cells in a treatment area and you can expect to see visible changes in as little as 6 – 8 weeks. Best of all, there is no down time after treatment, so you won’t have to alter your normal work or exercise activities. Areas that can be considered for treatment include, under the chin, arms, abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), fullness under the bra line of the back, as well as the inner and outer thighs. Treatments are generally well tolerated and are performed in a very comfortable setting in our office. To obtain the best results, patients are encouraged to participate in an ongoing exercise routine and to practice dietary watchfulness.

There are many important factors to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon to address your aesthetic interests and the facility where the procedure will be performed. A good starting point is to select a plastic surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Zoellner has had his certification and been in practice for over 26 years and is an expert in both facial and body procedures. His training provides the foundation to prevent, but if necessary, to handle emergencies. Additionally, his extensive training has developed his technical skills and anesthetic judgment to address your goals. Dr. Zoellner also met the stringent standards of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and has been a member since 2006.

You can expect to be welcomed and put at ease from the moment you enter the office. Gretchen Bornhorst, the patient coordinator will meet with you initially and review your interests regarding your breast surgery. Next the nurse will bring you to the patient exam room, where you will be joined by Dr. Zoellner, who will listen to your goals and expectations and do an exam. We are very excited to now offer 3-D imaging of your breasts, so you will be able to see simulations of your breasts using different types of implants or implant sizes. The Vectra 3-D breast imager, that very few practices in North Carolina offer, will greatly enhance your breast consultation experience. You will have better input and confidence in choosing the most appropriate implant size for your body. Your 3-D breast images will be reviewed with you by Dr. Zoellner and the patient coordinator during your visit. Additionally, you will be able to access these images at home via your private patient portal.
