    Sono Bello

    Sono Bello in WA are crooks and thieves! Be aware!

    Overall Experience:

    My experience was nothing but a nightmare. I regret the day when I met sales person Bethany Mikkola inquiring about treatment for one area that was my only concern at the time (now after botched job done by Dr. Scott C. Sattler at Sono Bello in Bellevue I have three areas of concern).

    Bethany Mikkola convinced me to pay for three areas instead, promising it would result in a more aesthetically pleasant appearance. But I had to book the procedure right away for the next day without even getting evaluated by a doctor or having my questions answered by that doctor.

    People, be aware! If you are told the same thing, keep in mind, they want you to book a surgery because it's not refundable if you change your mind 15 minutes later. They will offer you discounts and useless complimentary Vaser treatments. I was told the only thing I would regret was that I haven't done it earlier.

    Here is what happened. I paid over $5,000 (with applied discount for booking procedure the same day) for three areas to get liposuction on. Dr. Sattler didn't find it necessary to treat three areas, he did only two because according to his words he didn't feel comfortable to do liposuction on the area of my primary and essential concern at all. He tried to hide it, though, for almost nine months after the procedure until the fact that that the area I kept complaining about wasn't treated at all (slipped out of another doctor's, Dr. Sobrino, mouth).

    I am tired of begging those people to correct their mistake. They do not stand behind their assurance policy. Contacting practice manager Shannon Scott and director of operation Stephanie Vizmanos did not help, but it was just a waste of more time. Those people are thieves and crooks. Be aware! Read reviews on them online, read complaints on BBB, you will have the picture of what kind of place Sono Bello is. I hate myself for not trusting reviews on them and not going someplace else instead. Just see their before and after pictures and keep in mind that those pictures are the best results surgeons at Sono Bello ever achieved, and you can consider yourself to be lucky if you don't look worse after surgery than you were before.

    In a nutshell: I ended up with uneven, lumpy legs with a bulge right in the middle of my thigh on one of my legs, and being charged for liposuction on the area that the doctor didn't perform liposuction on at all. I am a real person and I can be contacted at socialjusticewarrior77[at]yahoo.com if you want to share your experience or have questions for me. I would like to share all the details of my battle with Sono Bello.

    Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
