Sono Bello Reviews - Is It Really Effective?

My first consultation appointment was this week. I was a little taken back with the fact that you do not meet with a physician...instead, they have a sales team that presents the procedures and costs to you. But she was very knowledgeable. The stage clearly explained what to expect. They gave me all the information I needed. I still haven’t made a decision, but they seem like a great practice. I’m excited about this possible journey.

Staff - consultants, front desk, Dr. Hendricks and the nurses are first rate; very friendly and informative from start to finish. I did the laser lipo with the EX for my stomach and then multiple other areas with the laser lipo. They kept me informed with each step and what to expect afterward. I highly recommend this location to everyone.

My experience from the consultation to the follow-up appointment has been phenomenal. Having this particular procedure has been something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. I was initially seen by Kayla, and she couldn't have made me feel more comfortable so much so that I wasn't self-conscious when taking off my shirt, which I haven't done outside of my home in years. Natasha was also someone whom I had to take my shirt off for, and she made me feel awesome. I then was met by Dr. Guttikondra and his confidence and professionalism is probably what set me at ease and help make me commit to having this done.

During the procedure Dr. Guttikondra kept me informed and at ease during the entire procedure. His assistant was Joy, and she too has amazing before, during, and after the procedure. I have only just had the procedure done and the pain has been surprisingly minimal. The change in body composition is already obvious to me (I was stoked to be shown the actual fat removed after the procedure), but I know it will be even better after several weeks when the swelling has subsided.

I can't thank the Sono Bello in San Diego from top to bottom enough for all they have done so far. Looking forward to the 2019 Summer when I will be confident to take my shirt off at the beach for the first time in years!

My experience from start to finish has been phenomenal. I'm only three weeks post op and very pleased with my results thus far. I had my waist, upper and lower abs done. These were problem areas for me to lose with diet and exercise. I wish I would have done it sooner. I went back to work three days later. The staff are very knowledgable and very systematically organized. I get timely emails with reminders to keep you on track. Wear your garment is key. I wish it wasn't so expensive or I'd get a few other areas done just for the heck of it, areas that don't really bother me but could look better. The only recommendation would be the post-ops be scheduled with the doctor for specific questions. Post op was a very "cookie cutter" regimented.

My experience with Sono Bello has been great. I have been happy since I walked through the door at my first consultation. My consultant was very nice. My nurse Amanda was amazing, she is so sweet and helpful. I was very nervous at my pre-op, but she made me feel relaxed. I can't wait to see how my final results turn out!

No regrets! I have always struggled with my weigh and while in the military I was able to keep those concerns at bay. After retiring from the military, I begin seeing someone in the mirror I was not happy with. I did not take pictures, became very self-conscious and somewhat withdrawn.

Since meeting Maggie at Sono Bello in Charlotte, North Carolina, I am amazed at the transformation that is taking place within me. I must first say that the staff is very professional and helpful. Then I met Maggie, what an incredible young lady! She lifted my spirits by her infectious and exciting attitude about becoming the best "you that you can be."

After my consultation, I met Dr. Pratt. He is very professional, thoughtful and an excellent surgeon. He listened to my concerns and "my doubts" as to whether or not the procedures would be right for me. I shared with him that I’ve tried LipoSculpture, hormone treatment, and of course, diets. The most important thing I want to share at this point is that I absolutely have "no regrets!" Shout out to his nurse Tae, thank you for your encouraging words and holding my hand (smile).

It’s been three months since my procedure, and I can’t stay out of the mirror (smile). I would compare Dr. Pratt to Michael Angelo, the great artist of all times! I am "becoming" the picture of perfection, meaning that I’m proud to be me! I can recall that weeks after the procedures everyone began noticing the new me. The value of how I am beginning to feel about myself and how I look is worth more to me than anyone will ever know. Thank you Dr. Pratt!

Thank you, Dr. Pratt and Maggie, I am looking forward to phase two of my transformation.

She was very helpful and very friendly. Liz was the one that gave me my free consultation. I was very happy I was able to get a cosigner to have my surgery, so I have to come in there on Monday to finalize everything for my appointment, so I'm super excited. And she did a fantastic job, and a big thank you to her.

It’s been one year since I had my surgery at Sono Bello in Denver, Colorado. Since then I’m down three dress sizes. My friends are so envious of the transformation. I saved very hard to have this done, and I really am pleased with what they gave me. The staff is prompt with reminding you of appointments, and they are so pleasant. The surgeon was great. Amazing bedside communication and comforting. He even checked on me the night of the surgery.

For the past few years, I have been really down on myself because I had rolls on my back and no waist. I decided to come to Sono Bello to see what they could do for me. I am so glad decided to come here: Dr. Guttikonda gave me the waist I never thought I could have. I haven't been this confident in myself in a long time. Best decision I have made was coming here. Thank you!

Liz explained the procedure and was very caring and empathetic to all my concerns. I felt like I had made a friend by the time I left. I really enjoyed talking with her. Very wonderful individual.

I'm 5 days post surgery, had four areas done (upper, lower abs, waist, and hips). From the consult to the procedure, the whole experience was fantastic (consult - Janit, nurse - Tamara, and procedure from Dr. Hendrik). They kept me well informed, kept me at ease and explained what to expect. They provided fantastic advice for additional treatments to achieve the results I was seeking.

So far the pain is what I expected, if you think recovery is not going to hurt, well, then you are not being realistic, but I will say take at least 3-4 days to recover properly.

So far, my recovery's been great. I had drainage for the first day and a half, then it stopped, I did not have too much, in fact, I expected a lot more. I kept my bandages clean and changed them anytime I saw even the slightest hint of fluid. I showered after the first 24 hours and that felt great. I've been up and about as of the second day, even returning to work (from my home office).

I changed into my garment on the second day, that felt so much better than the binder they sent me home with, and it helps control pain and swelling. The most important thing you can do it to get up and move. I cleaned my house and went about my business as usual but no working out. I won't lie, I was moving a little slow, but it was good for me.

The first few evenings were tough because I chose not to take Norco and stick to Advil, Arnicare pellets/cream and CBD Oil. I will say that my core and torso are bruised, sore to the touch, swollen and a little hard, but I expected as much. I did experience bruising and swelling in my pelvic area, which was not a pretty site, but I used cool compresses and made sure to stay off my feet - my back every 3 or so hours for the first 3 days, which helped a lot.

Every day is getting better and better. Next week, I will begin Phase II, four more areas (outer, inner thigh, banana roll and knee). Yep, I did it once and I'm going back for my final results. Not happy about recovery but excited to get this done! It was a little pricey but you get what you pay for!

I will start back to Orange Theory tomorrow up until my next phase. I can already see the results, and it is fantastic! After having three kids by c-section, I needed this! The areas I had treated were areas that I had some success losing in the past with aggressive workouts and diet but still could not achieve full results. I am thrilled to see the final results, and I can't believe I did not do this sooner!

I think this works amazing for those who maintain an active lifestyle, eat clean (no processed food, soda or other crap) and are looking to lose the problem areas for good. In my opinion, this is not a weight loss solution, if you want to lose the weight you must, unfortunately, put the work in before you seek this treatment. Just my two cents...
