Sono Bello Reviews - Is It Really Effective?

So far so good. The staff was warm and friendly and very informative. I liked not having to go under anesthetic and feeling out of sorts. I already see a difference and feel confident the end result will be great! I highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone.

I have diabetes and thought the permanent loss of excess fat would help my situation. It was expensive, but I believed all the hype and went forward with the procedure. The doctor and assistants were nice enough. They ordered the wrong size compression garment and the results were not immediately obvious. After about 6 weeks, I started to notice a difference and eventually went down a size, just one. After 12 weeks I noticed my clothes were getting a little snug and then realized I suddenly had a blossoming bottom I didn't have before. Wherever I hadn't had the procedure was progressively getting fatter. The body lasted for about 8 months and even though I watched my diet, I kept getting bigger. It's been 18 months and I can no longer wear most of my clothes, including the ones I wore before the procedure. The permanent fat loss was not permanent. The areas I got treatment are now back to the way they were and I have the additional areas now to boot. This may be an isolated experience, but I doubt it. I no longer have my $7000, and now have extra fat and a closet full of clothes I can't wear.

Hi fellow person who likes to read reviews. I would like to put this out there for the next person who is even thinking about doing this. I would HIGHLY recommend NOT going through with Sono Bello.

I went in for my consultation a few months ago and last week I decided to actually pursue it. I gave them my credit card information and that night some personal things came up and I cannot continue with the surgery. I asked that same day for a full refund and Brooke was out of the office until Tuesday so I had to wait till she got back for her to just tell me that it is too late and that I can't get a refund for the full amount. I explained to her my situation and they ask for a ridiculous amount of explanation.

Given that I wasn't told that there was no chance of getting a refund I really think that this is completely unethical. I would recommend really REALLY thinking twice about going through with this. On another note, if you do get a refund it takes 45 DAYS to process. 45 days guys! I paid $6,500 and there is a non-refundable fee of $2,200. This is absolutely ridiculous, unethical, and honestly just WRONG.

I am upset, I am not happy, and I will never recommend for someone to go here. STAY AWAY from Sono Bello and don't get yourself in a financial mess the way they got me into it.

My experience was excellent. The staff and doctors were there to answer any questions and concerns you might have. After surgery, they make sure that you have someone there to drive you safely home and won’t let you leave until someone comes. The doctor will call you the next day to make sure that you are ok, and if you have any problems or concern, and if you do, you can call them any time.

I have struggled with weight around my midsection for years. Diet and exercise just did not work. I took a chance and scheduled an appointment with Sono Bello. I was blown away with their customer service from my initial phone call and then post procedure. I am two months out and have gone from a size 18 women to a size 14 regular. I never dreamed I could get such great results. Note, I have done this without exercise. I do plan on starting back on my exercise program which I feel will enhance my results. My physician was Dr. James Lowe and he took the time to answer all my questions and did a very detailed exam during my initial consultation. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!

This is my second experience with Sono Bello and again they did an exceptional job and the procedure went smoothly. The front desk staff, nurse, and Dr. Handler have been absolutely awesome. I am only 10 days post op, but I feel wonderful and confident with my procedure. Dr. Handler did an amazing job and I see dramatic results already.

Thanks, team, for helping me gain my self-confidence back. I truly love you all. I would recommend Sono Bello San Diego to all my friends.

If you are looking for body sculpting, then Sono Bello is the place you should be choosing. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by great staff, friendly, and make you feel welcomed. The consultation reps are not only friendly but knowledgeable when answering your questions. Dr. Chung is an amazing, doctor and surgeon, if you get him then you are lucky! I’d recommend him and this facility to anyone. As far as my procedure, I had liposuction and I’m am very happy with my new look, it’s given me more confidence and has in a way been better for my health as I now eat way healthier than before and I exercise regularly now. So I thank Sono Bello for being part of my journey. You won’t regret it!

My experience with this team has been amazing! The location is beautiful and the staff ensured all of my needs were met. My surgery went better than I expected. I returned to work after one day. There was minimal pain for me, therefore, I didn’t take any narcotics, only Tylenol and Ibuprofen. I’m almost two months out and I would recommend Sono Bello to everyone. They do good work and the are very honest about what they can do for you.

These people sold us a song and a dance. They explained the details of the procedure then they rushed us to pay $11000 upfront for it. A few days later we found out we couldn't do the procedure because of a health condition so they said yes, they will refund the money. It took almost 2 months to get it back. When my wife called they would tell her Corporate has to approve it and it was approved on whatever the date is they gave her, which is multiple dates.

Then she got tired after a month of calling them. Then she told me to take over. Well, I don't play games with fools. They intentionally did not want to refund the money, they were holding on to it and gave me an excuse every time I called them. I showed up at the Lake Success office where the procedure was supposed to be done and they know I was going to hurt somebody for my money, so without saying much, in 10 minutes they had all the refunds done. So for almost 2 months they were delaying so they can hold on to it.

Do not trust them! They are not worth the headache! This could have been taken care of a long time ago but because they saw I paid them a visit they got scared and coughed up my money.

A lot of trickery and backpedaling after they get paid and complete your surgery.

I specifically pointed out the areas I wanted them to work on in the Brookfield, WI office during to initial consult with a patient rep AND initial consult with the surgeon. Both made me believe what I desired is possible. The surgeon named the area that needed the work for my desired outcome. Long story short, ALL LIES.

Of course, I voiced my concerns during my in-person follow-ups, but was told to wait the entire six months for the final results. As suspected, no results in six months in the specific area I discussed in the consults. Now they claim that the specific area wasn’t worked on but, other areas were, and the area I’m complaining about is an entirely different area that would cost another $2,500. What the heck?! Now they’re alluding I should have been the expert during the consult rather than the so-called ones in my consults. They had the nerve to tell me that the area I’m pointing out is different from what was performed on as if I didn’t SPECIFICALLY mention this EXACT area during my TWO DIFFERENT consults! Again, what the heck?!

I was definitely scammed into paying over $8,000 for a surgery that Sono Bello decided for me rather than doing EXACTLY what we discussed. It’s as if they are blaming me for “mislabeling” the area as if I’m the board-certified doctor. For instance, if you go to a doctor for advice on why you have a lump on your hand and they claim you need surgery on the aligning finger, you’re inclined to believe them as they are the freekin’ “expert,” right? Well, apparently, Sono Bello requires YOU to be the expert.

#1. You tell them what you desire.

#2. They tell you what they need to do to make that a reality.

#3. They take your money.

#4. They perform a similar surgery but, not the exact one you discussed and paid for. You are blindsided until six months after the surgery.

#5. You complain and the spinning begins!

In that order. Please beware! A class action lawsuit should be started on these frauds/scammers ASAP.

Length of Use: 3–6 months
