Liposuction Revision

Love Dr. Zarella!

Loved how I was treated at the Waldorf Center! Dr. Zarella is wonderful, and did a beautiful job! I would not hesitate to recommend him! He did some all-over lipo (body contouring) and filled in a few areas on my face, as well as plumping my lips. I did not want them over-filled, and the results are perfect! Thank you, Dr. Zarella!

I had Botox and Dr Zarrela really knows how to make it look so natural and not over done.

I love Dr. Zarrela! I really enjoy my visits because he is so personable and down to earth. He really makes me feel comfortable and he is very professional and great at what he does. I appreciate how he makes suggestions in my best interest.

Always look forward to seeing him

Dr. Zarella is the best! He's allows me to feel confident in asking for what I want and does a great job walking me through everything. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Zarella. I know he has my best interest at heart - he wants me to leave happy with my treatment, experience, and that I get the best bang for my buck. He's so friendly and personable - it always feels like I'm catching up with a friend.

Surgery success

Dr. Zarella was very supportive and willing to work with me to create a comprehensive and reasonable surgery plan. Ater MOHS surgery in 2012, I was left with nasal scarring and asymmetry despite 3 subsequent debulking and 1 rhinoplasty surgeries. Dr. Zarella performed surgery to raise my nostril and reduce scarring in November. I'm so pleased with the results. My nose looks and functions much better.

Liposuction

Another THE BEST!

He's wonderful! I have dealt with Dr. Kathleen Waldorf for my "correction" needs since 1998 or 1999. When I was unable to match up schedules with her for my liposuction (abdominal), I was told that Dr. Zarella had joined the practice and after meeting with him, was confident that if she invited him to practice with her, he had to be great! I was not disappointed. My recovery from the procedure he did was swift and without pain for the most part. "I'd call it "discomfort".) After all, he did remove about 1.5 litres of accumulated fat. It's now been 6 weeks and the results are wonderful. Dr. Zarella is competent, sincere and truly cares about his patient. I am of an age where I can see compassion and enthusiasm for his work and recognize it as a true calling. You wouldn't be disappointed from your first consult -to his attentiveness pre-surgery and recovery. And.... he's friendly :)

Breast Reduction

25 Years Old - No Kids - 36DD - Portland, OR

Hey all... So, I just want to share my experience with BR recently made. My breasts began to grow when I was 8 years old. Today I am 25, have no children, 140 pounds, 5'2. My breasts was 36DD and super fallen, making feel lots of pain and also a extremely lack of self-esteem! I always felt horrible back pain, shoulder and neck, did several treatments, but never any helped ease the pain. Then finally in January this year I started the process for breast reduction. Documentations were sent to the insurance, after one month I received the answer, saying that it had been approved and that they would cover 90% of the costs and I would be responsible for 10% + $500 ded. Great, let's do it! February 29 surgery happened, my plastic surgeon and his team did a wonderful job, the procedure took about 3hs. 1 pound each breast were removed (420 grams), went home at the same day, after waking from anesthesia. Did not take any antibiotics, no drain... I only toke the pain medication for the first 3 days, then I changed to Iboprofen, kept moving my arms, walking slowly around the house, bathing usually (slow)... Which was wonderful not to be "dependent" of others! My procedure was not the famous inverted "T", was only an "I" and around the nipples. And since from the first day of the surgery, I keep having sensitivity in the nipples! Today I am on the 8th post-op, already driving, doing minor things, no heavy lifting and no heavy housework, all very moderate and done carefully! Had already couple Mojitos yesterday celebrating my husband Bthday, no sex yet (my doctor said to feel safe, only after 4 weeks), no workout for at least 4 weeks, which is fine for me... I mean, life slowly getting back to normal! Of course, I'm still a little swollen, a little sore, still taking Iboprofen, am careful always to everything be all right, after all, It's my health! Of course, the breasts still are adjusting the way it has to be, of course the breasts usually unswollen in different ways, I feel sometimes one more swollen than the other, less swollen than the other, will take couple weeks to settle down... Anyways, but it is normal, after all, this is a kind of process that requires time, patience and "gravity!" :) It's tiring? IT IS! It is stressful? IT IS! It is slow? Vey Much! But I believe that even being an extremely slow process, we know very well how difficult it is to have large breasts, and we know the pain we feel to carry it... So, all the effort is worth it, in my opinion! So that's my story, I hope it all works out for you all!

Filler in Cheeks, Lips, Etc. - Portland, OR

Dr. Zarella was like an artist at work. He studied my face, and knew exactly what to do to fulfill my needs and request for my face. He took his time, and was really great for all the attention that he gave me. The WLdorf a center has been a real find. mY monthly facials with Janice Cunningham also was been the greatest.
