Voci Center Plastic Surgery, P.A. Seeks Bankruptcy Protection
Voci Center Plastic Surgery voluntarily filed for bankruptcy on January 27 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of North Carolina, according to the latest PACER records.
Subchapter V of the Bankruptcy Code, designed for small businesses, streamlines reorganization and lets debtors keep operating. The filing is part of the practice’s plan to restructure its debts and address financial challenges.
The practice filed first-day motions seeking court approval to continue essential operations. Such motions contain claims to comply with pre-petition commitments like payroll, employee benefits, and remittances to vital suppliers.
The practice also requested permission to use cash collateral and maintain its cash management system, supporting daily operations during restructuring.
Michael Leon Martinez has already been appointed by the court as the Subchapter V trustee on the case and has planned several subsequent hearings, including a creditors and other status hearing on March 4, 2026, and a status conference on March 11, 2026.
These hearings will allow the court and stakeholders to review Voci Center’s finances and plan next steps in the bankruptcy process. Creditors will also be asked to provide evidence of claims before April 7, 2026.
