Best experience ever

By Tonya S., Ontario, CA, Verified Reviewer

My experience with Sono Bello was the most awesome experience. I am totally satisfied with my results and I have referred two friends who are satisfied as well. Thank you to the best surgeon ever, Dr. Amardip Bhuller, for transforming my body back to that before childbirth 9lb 22in baby body. There is a smile on my face every day when I look in the mirror. Best wishes to all your staff especially Karen Vega who was phenomenal. Oh, and to Kelly the best nurse ever!

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

Awesomeness

Don't do it!

By W M., Alexandria, VA, Verified Reviewer

My process has been a total nightmare with them and after two revision surgeries I can honestly say that they have destroyed my body. I was only looking to sculpt 10 sounds away and instead the "doctors" just jammed their needles around to catch fat instead of sculpting. After much research I found that they should have told me to immediately do lymphatic massage and rigid binders to reduce scar tissue. Now I have a body full of lumps, a concave chest, and they have offered no solutions.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Commendable experience

By Jamie H., Cleveland, OH, Verified Reviewer

Friendly staff - from the front desk, office manager, nurses, to the doctor! They knew what they were doing and were prompt about it - wasted no time which I find extremely commendable. Dr. Stroup was calm cool and collected pre, during, and post surgery. Even personally called me later that night to follow up/check in with me. Class act! He played music softly in the background during surgery - I LOVED IT! Music has always been my "get through" good and bad times. It was so, so comforting to hear/sing along to classic chart-topping hits. You know, the good ol’ stuff! I’m only a week out of surgery and I can already see a difference! The swelling hasn’t even gone away yet I can already see results.

I’m thrilled!

By Caryn T., Bellevue, WA, Verified Reviewer

My surgery was 1.5 weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Macintosh and all of the nurses were amazing and put me at ease through the entire process. The procedure itself was only mildly painful and my recovery has been smooth so far. I’m still a little swollen, but even with the swelling, I’m overjoyed with the results. I can’t wait to see how the results progress over the next 1-3 months! Thank you Sono Bello Bellevue!

Shrinking tummy

By Kim N., Ferndale, WA, Verified Reviewer

I decided to finally do something about my stomach area.

We went to the Bellevue Sono Bello, and from the start, everyone was so nice and welcoming. From explaining what could be done and what could not be done, to the procedure day, they were very clear, and helpful. The only downside is the office is 2+ hours away.

Bad misleading communication from employees

By Roberta J., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I have been trying to get my surgery, but they seem confused. I was told that I would receive pain pills, which I'm sure that I would need them. My surgery was tomorrow and I was supposed to pick up pain Rx today so I could fill it. Now they say no pain pills. I had to call off the surgery. This is crazy. Make sure you have your own pain pills because they want you in a lot of pain. Crazy.

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

Change for me

By Gena H., Kansas, Verified Reviewer

I never would have thought this would be something I'd do. But here I am, three months later, and the change in my body is SO amazing. I have curves and it feels good when I look at myself and see clothes actually fit big, and me look small. I'm starting to have confidence that for SO long I didn't have. The excitement of trying on clothes that this time last year was a struggle and now just zip up, a belt pulled tighter or better yet getting rid of clothes because they are too big is THE BEST!

Update!

By Janice R., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

Today is New Year's Eve and my shape continues to improve! I must say that as the skin tightens up, it initially appears uneven, but that changes as you heal.

Contouring micro sculpting lipo experience

By Jenni B., Washington, Verified Reviewer

After being referred by my sister, I went in for a consultation at Sono Bello in Bellevue, Washington. All of the staff are very professional and encouraging.

After my initial appointment, scheduling was easy and worked well with my needs.

My procedure went very smoothly and what I had been prepared for by the medical team is exactly what I experienced. I was back to work in three days, with moderate pain but very tolerable.

I am now three weeks post-op and feeling really well. Still sore, but almost all bruising is gone, and I am back to my normal activity level.

I feel more like myself in my body...just had to get some of that stubborn fat removed and I am looking forward to a fun spring and summer and all the new clothes that go with!

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

Better communications for setting expectations.

By Vicki S., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

My single biggest concern was being caught in the middle of poor communication between nurses/staff and protocols. Since I was new at this procedure, as the patient I wanted more information to be offered; not knowing enough to ask pertinent questions. Just being there is a shameful mental experience of being too fat/undesirable. Please don't treat me like a pig come for slaughter. Tell me ahead of time I am going to be put on a narrow table and soaked in a messy liquid when I come out of the drugs. It was a most disgusting feeling. Then to try a figure out how to put the elastic body suit on without a heads up while still feeling wet and chilled was more humiliation. I was told I could be back to work in three days and that was a lie given the extent of the procedures I was having. I am 70% pleased with results after nine months and not pleased with the procedure on my back love handles. I will recommend at a 705 satisfaction level.

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