Endoscopic Eyebrow Lift
54 year old woman caucasian Doctor and staff were professional and easy to talk to about outcomes and concerns. Dr. Zinsser’s bedside manner is wonderful. Surgery went well. Hardly any swelling or bruising. One large bruise under left eye. Sleeping at a slight angle comfortably on my back for a few weeks was finally figured out and was fine with a lot of pillows piled everywhere. The scalp numbness and tingling is strange but not uncomfortable. I’m at four weeks afterwards and

Would highly recommend - my breasts look very natural
Fantastic experience! I would highly recommend Dr Zinsser and his team. They did a great job guiding me through the process and I never felt any pressure. I was nervous for the recovery since I have smaller children, but he did a great job. After a few days I was on my feet and only a few weeks later I was feeling almost 100%. I would highly recommend. My breast look very natural.

Amazing surgeon - the recovery was much easier than I expected
DR. Zinsser is amazing! His while team was so awesome and welcoming. The process was so easy and the they were all so comforting and friendly. Dr. Zinsser worked wonders on my arm lifts and my breast reduction and lift. He knew exactly what was my issue and even thought of the area that no other doctor would do also. The pre-opt was smooth sailing and the recovery was much easier then I expected. They provided things most don't and they were reachable for everything. I could not

Absolutely Perfect
I'm a trans nonbinary person who just got top surgery with Dr. Zinsser 6 days ago. When I say that I could not imagine more perfect results its completely true, but that honestly goes to my entire experience with him and his staff. They are trans educated, led me to getting insurance coverage despite mental illness, genuinely kind, responsive, took me to a hospital that was FANTASTIC the day of my operation, more affordable than other surgeons in the area, and likely hit all of

Dr. Zinsser is the best Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Zinsser has performed Multiple procedures on me over the years. There is NO other Plastic Surgeon I would use, no need, Dr. Zinsser is hands down, and I had used other Plastic Surgeons prior to seeing him, the Best in his field. My last procedure, which was in 2016, a buttock lift and augmentation, gave me the result of a 25 year old and at the time I was 54! Awesome, surgeon and staff. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Awesome experience
Dr Zinsser is not only a fantastic surgeon but he is one of the most compassionate doctors I’ve ever know. He takes time to explain everything he will be doing and will let you know exactly what to expect. His office personnel are just as amazing and compassionate as he is. You are treated as if you are the only patient they have. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery. I myself had the circumferential tummy tuck and just recently had liposuction on my

44 Years Old, 3 Kids, Periaerola Breast Lift
I had my breast augmentation yesterday at noon. I thought I was getting a lift via nipple (mastoplexy), but once he put the 400cc implant in, he said I didn't need a lift, so I guess that's cool but sad he cut my nipple and didn't do the lift, although the cut is only under half of my nipple so a small cut, opposed to a three inch cut of under the breast. I had zero pain yesterday, as the Dr gave me lost of pain meds. I didn't sleep at all last night due to the Percocet, as

Best Bedside Manner, Excellent Lower Body Lift - Richmond, VA
Doctor Zinsser gave me a circumferential lower body lift with auto augmentation of the buttocks after a 240 pound weight loss. My case was extreme and challenging. He didn't hesitate to take my case. I felt at ease and supported at every step of the procedure. The final result was better than I expected. The addition of the auto augmentation at his suggestion was a major positive change to my body shape. Additionally, unlike another consult I had, Dr. Zinsser was confident

31 Year Old with Two Children and Wanting to Get Rid of Belly - Richmond, VA
I couldn't have asked for a more professional staff and Doctor. I had a few consultations before I found Dr. Zinsser. My main goal was to have a tummy tuck after two kids and some significant weight gain. The other doctors I had consultations with all tried to push other procedures on me. I felt that it was rude and obnoxious. Dr. Zinsser and his staff made me feel very comfortable and at ease with everything. Everything leading up to my surgery was easy and painless. The day
