Sono Bello Reviews - Is It Really Effective?

I am 68 years old and have had some work done over the years. I feel I can give an honest review. This was my first experience with corporate medicine.

I knew exactly what I wanted done. I felt Jennifer, the sales woman, understood me.

I met the Doctor the day of the procedure. I had a mini lift. Dr. Strand and his nurses were wonderful! I was very comfortable during the entire procedure. I left with a tight garment over my head that I had to wear for 24 hours. That was awful. The next day Dr. Strand gave me a different garment that worked just fine. I was given pain pills but, I didn't need to take many.

It has now been a month and I am very happy. I look at least 10 years younger. The bruising disappeared within a week. I have very little swelling left. Tomorrow is my one month appointment. I expect Dr. Strand to give me the okay to get back to golf and exercise.

I think they can charge less because they have smaller overhead than single practice doctors. Don't be afraid to have the surgery under local anesthetic. I was comfortable the entire time.

The women who expected to lose weight with lipo suction (in my opinion) should not have been told they would lose weight. Eat less and exercise more and when you lose weight, then have your skin tightened.

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

The first procedure I had at Sono Bello was a liable suction on my derrière. The staff, from the front office to consultation to the medical staff, was phenomenal. The results were even more impressive, and I was so happy that around a year later I had three more areas treated.

I don't normally leave reviews, but this time it's merited. I had my procedure for stubborn fat areas that I tried to get rid of my whole life. Every time I tried to diet and exercise them off, they just wouldn't go!

But now they are gone! Not only am I happier in my clothes and out, I have been able to stick to my wellness program because I don't have my fat areas screaming "this isn't working." I see results of my efforts now that my fat pockets are gone.

The staff was great! I would do this again, and I would highly recommend Sono Bello.

First, I don't know who wrote this article, but they need to do an initial consultation to get all the facts. It's only half researched, and the opinion given here is unresearched crap.

There will always be people who post negative reviews or can't be pleased and make it sound so scary, but again, go to the initial consultation and research it yourself before forming an opinion.

I went through the Cincinnati, Ohio location and am extremely happy. The staff is amazing and caring! My doctor was Dr. Dawson, and I would recommend him to anyone. I look phenomenal, and I am only six weeks post op. I am excited to look in the mirror every morning to see the progress.

I saw reviews where folks said they didn't lose weight. It's not a weight loss surgery, so they had unrealistic expectations. I had the lipo on my entire abdomen, waist, hips, and inner thighs and look so toned and thin, and six weeks post-op I weigh 7 lbs less because I am actively working to lose weight, not because the surgery was a silver bullet.

I was close to my normal weight range and my doctor said it's better to be closer to the normal weight range because the result is better. They take between 30-70% of the fat cells out per area and contour. They take out the amount that will look right on the body as a whole.

Pricing is per area but based on BMI, so the $1,295 per area is based off a low, normal range BMI, and the higher the BMI, the higher the cost per area. There is a one-time $2,000 surgical fee, but they gave me discounts. My BMI was 27, so I paid $1,495 per area, for a point of reference. I am so happy with my decision and results and am considering going back in the fall to do my arms since I don't have to pay the surgical fee again.

The office and surgery room were nice and clean, the staff was caring and excellent, and my results so far are very noticeable. I am happy I did this and would recommend it to anyone who is considering it.

I am a person who always thought that all these body contouring places were full of it. Well, I'm here to say Sono Bello proved me so wrong. At first, I was nervous because I have only seen little results. But over each month, it seemed to get better. I didn't expect to look this good. Thank you Sono Bello so much.

I had my upper back, love handles, front, back and side of things done.

My BMI was high, and I had a lot of back fat. My back is completely flat, and my thighs are nice and toned again. The doctor took out 5L of fat altogether. The staff and doctor were nice and helpful.

One thing I don't like is paying before you see the doctor. The doctor is the one that can let you know what really needs to be done and what you really don't need when you tell him what you want and expect.

They keep $1,000 if you cancel or change your mind after seeing the doctor. That part is not fair. Trust me, a doctor that is performing your surgery should look you over first.

Please note that lipo is not a weight loss, so people expect a miracle. Doing massages helps to eliminate lumps and wearing your garments properly will help with the results.

I'm 11 days in, still swollen, red, purple and in severe pain. I walk slow and sitting is the worse. The back of my legs burn. But I had a laser removing tons of fat, so I expect it. One more week in pain, then I would say don't do it. Getting in the car is a struggle with pain.

But with the right doctor over there, you would love it. Research the doctor they assign you before paying.

My name is Catia. After having two children I could never get my shape back. I eat healthily and exercise, but that stubborn fat would not go away.

I went to Sono Bello feeling a bit skeptical. The staff over there is wonderful and easy to communicate with. Vanessa, the office manager, is great. She's very understanding and was there for me from beginning to end. As for my doctor, Dr. Zekirvoski, he is very compassionate and understanding with great bedside manners. Dr. Zekirvoski explained what he was going to do and assured me that I would be happy with the result.

I must say, I'm not fully healed yet, but so far I'm very happy with the results. Thank you Sono Bello.

My doctor and the staff there were fantastic. It has only been 2 weeks since my procedure and I am anxiously awaiting the final results. I would definitely recommend them to my friends.

Thanks to Veronica at the Addison Sono Bello office, I received my deposit back. If you are truly interested in laser lipo, I would recommend Sono Bello in Addison, ask for Veronica for your patient care consultant. She listens to your concerns and will help in any way to assist you to obtain your goals. Thank you, Sono Bello, and thank you, Veronica, for being such a caring person!

I had my first procedure today of my upper and lower abdomen. I was told right from the beginning after I saw the doctor from my re-app that of course after the label, there was going to be a considerable swelling period and there would be a considerable mount of drainage. This is true. I have the first stage of the garment around my abdomen, however, I feel great and confident that this procedure has worked. Swelling and drainage are expected, but I feel like 1 million bucks and would suggest this to anyone that could. My doctor was amazing, he took his time, and I currently have a second set up for two weeks from now. This is not a permanent fix unless you change your lifestyle, but it certainly gives you a job or kickstart to get the battery you’re looking for!

I went into Sono Bello in October 2017 (Sacramento, CA) with all the information and with the idea to get it done. I was told right from the beginning after I saw the doctor from my pre-op, that there was going to be a considerable swelling period and there would be a considerable amount of drainage. This was true. However, I feel great and confident that this procedure has worked. Swelling and drainage are expected, but I feel like a million bucks and would suggest this to anyone that could. My doctor was amazing, he took his time. They told me what to expect, the pain, the recovery time, and what they would be doing. I had the upper, lower and my hips done in November 2017 on a Friday and I went back to work on Monday, the only pain that I had after a couple of days was getting in and out of a chair, but that only lasted about a week or so.

I had the bra roll done in January 2018, I have been very happy with the results. I had some pain but I expected that, and when it comes to taking pain medications, I am a lightweight so most of the procedure I don’t remember. I could get into a dress that I purchased two years before, that was a great feeling. My doctor and all the staff was great. I went in with the weight of 168 pounds and now in August 2018, I am down to 152 pounds, I have seven more pounds to go for my ideal weight, and gone from a size 18 to 14, almost down to a 12. I have had so many co-workers notice all the weight that I have lost, and they don’t know that I had it done, but you do need to do your part in eating right. I went in for my six-month checkup and had a question for my doctor and he was in surgery but I could wait until he completed with the other patient, He checked me out said that it was just loss skin so I am getting the Venus treatments for ten weeks at no extra charge. I am sorry for the others had a terrible experience. This is not a permanent fix unless you change your lifestyle, but it certainly gives you a job or kickstart to get the body you’re looking for!
