Sono Bello Reviews - Is It Really Effective?

During my "free" consultation I was giving a visual of what I could expect after my healing process was complete. It was exactly what I was looking for. So I moved forward trusting Sono Bello to produce those results. However, they did not! Yes, I saw some change but NOWHERE near $7,000 worth. During my last appt my sergeant wasn’t available so I had a fill-in doctor. I addressed my concerns with him and he proceeded to tell me in so many words that I came to the wrong place to get what I was expecting and everyone's body won’t produce the same results. And so much more that’s too much to type. By this point, I just wanted my money back. I disputed the charge, they declined. I called in to address the issue. And I’ve been waiting on a call back every since. I’m so not pleased with this place. They were very nice and respectful. I enjoyed coming to this place, I also felt comfortable and trusted them. Now I’m not sure what to think due to the way they are handling me with my $7,000 concern. It’s a tax write off for them per what I heard one of the employees say with my own ears.

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

Hello All, I went to the Manhattan office to register and obtain pricing. I was greeted by an awesome consultant. I was told the cost and got excited to get the surgery started. I gave them a date that I needed for the surgery to be completed on. I went to the Westchester office to have both surgeries done by Dr. Berger. Then I went back to the office for my follow-up and that's when I notified the nurse that I was disappointed. She obviously asked why. I said I was expecting a lot of pain but I was up and about the next day. Thanks Dr. Berger for your painless surgeries, I will and have recommended patients to the Sono Bello Office.

I had my procedure done a little over a week ago. I had my upper and lower abdomen done including the EX procedure, where they cut off the loose skin. I also had my back rolls and upper hips done.

Reading all of these bad reviews is quite disheartening. Although I feel bad for the patients who had bad experiences, what about those patients who have good results? Working in a sales position prior, most people comment on what "was bad" but not the good aspects of their experience. When a person is looking into ANY type of medical procedure, I am here to say "DO YOUR HOMEWORK!" There are risks involved in ALL procedures, and a person needs to understand this BEFORE having anything done! A person needs to research the facility, staff, doctor and, most importantly, the procedure itself. There are NO guarantees on ANY medical procedure; it is a risk a person personally takes themselves.

I can, in all honesty, say that so far my experience was good. The sales tactics used ARE high pressure, however, I had already made my mind up BEFORE meeting with her, so I was prepared. My doctor was more than informative! He told me UPFRONT that I may not achieve the results I was looking for and the procedure was NOT painless. He informed me of everything to expect, what not to expect, and what he could and could not do for me personally. During the procedure, he talked to me continuously, and I was able to watch the fat that was taken out of my body. The pain medicine was not enough during the procedure, so I mentioned that to the doctor and he did not hesitate to give me more so I would be more comfortable.

Reading all of the negative reviews on here does put some fear in me, however, it was MY choice to have this done and I can only hope for the best. I can say I noticed a difference immediately and am looking forward to the swelling subsiding and the final result. I DO KNOW it will take time and will be up to ME to maintain the results. I was informed before the procedure that my weight would not change much, and I feel I now have a responsibility to work on maintaining my results by changing my eating and lifestyle habits.

For anyone considering this procedure, DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST and realize it is not a MIRACLE PROCEDURE, it is up to us individually to make changes for lasting results. The procedure during and after is painful, but it would be painful whether a person chooses Sono Bello or another facility.

I am looking forward to moving forward with a healthier lifestyle to maintain my 'new' body. I am personally taking responsibility to make that happen, as others should as well. The staff at the Columbus facility has been more than kind and helpful! I will definitely return for another procedure in the future. I would also recommend the Columbus facility to any woman needing a boost in confidence.

The staff at this office is amazing. Everyone is very friendly. My consultation was with LauraLee and she was amazing. She is the reason I decided to go for it. After her, meeting with my nurse at pre-op to my nurse during the procedure and doctor were all very pleasant. Amanda, you were a great nurse and Dr. G...I truly enjoyed you.

After reading some of the other reviews, which I should have done before, I do agree it is pricey. So far, with my experience, it has been worth it and I am hoping that a few weeks after my surgery (one week today) that I will be able to to rate them 5 stars. Until my swelling goes down, I won't see results. So more shall be revealed.

You can really tell Sono Bello puts a lot of thought into whom they hire to be on their team. All the staff are sweet and helpful. The post-op results I see are great. When they showed me my before and after pictures, I was in shock. I don’t even remember being that large! It’s crazy how much they are able to take while you are awake. They are great at what they do.

This review is for the Sonobello location in Green Wood Village off Belleview. Since my surgery, I lost about 2 dress sizes. It may not sound like a lot but my clothing fits a lot better. I don't hate shopping anymore I am grateful and happy.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Everyone in that office made me feel so special, and comfortable. I felt like I've known everyone forever. I got the results I had hoped for ! It was very easy communication with my surgeon. So I knew I was going to get what I wanted out of the process. I highly recommend Sono Bello Greenwood Village to all! I already sent two friends in!

Have your consultation in Beverly Hills because you won't be fully informed anywhere else. Make sure you speak up no matter what, especially if you get the doctor that cuts you before your lidocaine kicks in. I have a new respect and advocacy for my surgery patients since my procedure. Krystal and Cynthia are amazing and caring. I may have my arms done but not with that doctor. Once you sign paperwork, you don't have long to change your mind before you're locked in and will lose the deposit.

I didn’t really know what to expect when first making my appointment. I honestly just wanted to learn more about what they did. I am beyond happy that I chose to get this liposuction done. I really look so much better. It has improved my confidence greatly.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Although I was always a big guy, I played sports my entire life and had a lot of muscle. I knew eventually this muscle would turn to flab so eventually got liposuction to avoid being a fatty. My wife is happy I chose to do this. The Sono Bello people were very nice and helpful.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

They make the whole process so easy! From start to finish, they have someone there. Consultant nurses front staff all really care. I really am happy and feel like the end result was worth the $8000. I hope to be able to finish.
