Loving the skin I'm in!

By Mrs. White, Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Lipo

By Anna, Tacoma, WA, Verified Reviewer

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.

I had my waist, lower and upper abdomen abdomen done.

By Catia Destine, Florida, Verified Reviewer

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.

I had my first procedure today

By Tamara, Edina, MN, Verified Reviewer

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!

Great experience

By Carol B., Sacramento, CA, Verified Reviewer

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!

New me

By K B., Chandler, AZ, Verified Reviewer

This was a great experience. I had bra back area and waist fat removed. I heard negative reviews, and I had to find out for myself. It was the very opposite. The whole staff was GREAT. I felt really welcomed and everything was explained to me. I knew that they were going to remove fat, but after that, it was up to me to eat right, exercise, and follow directions.

Dr. Case was great; he called me later to see how I was doing. The nurses called, the receptionist. The coordinator was great, I couldn't ask for a better staff. I am very happy with my results. I would recommend this place to everyone. You have to remember it takes time to heal and I am very happy. I see a big difference. We can't all be Barbie dolls but getting close is good too. I'm happy with my body! Thank you Scottsdale Sono Bello.

Amazing!

By Ashley S., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

What an amazing experience! I have never been to an office with such personable and caring staff. They genuinely care about each patient. Dr. Lionelli was such an exceptional surgeon. His work is wonderful. Cassie at the front desk makes every visit so enjoyable and comfortable. I highly recommend to anyone that is in search of having a better body and more confidence.

An Organization to Be Admired!

By Brandi A., Gainesville, VA, Verified Reviewer

I had my procedure at the Sono Bello located in Tyson’s Corner exactly a week ago from today, and my entire experience was superb from start to finish. I initially went through the administrative part with Greden Camacho-Guerra, who is located at the Woodbridge location, and she answered every single question that I had, worked with me to ensure I was getting what I wanted and within my budget, and she was just all around a pleasure to work with. We still correspond even today, as she is a very caring person and is serious about making her patients happy.

My surgeon was Dr. Armin Moshyedi, M.D. and I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. He answered all of my questions, was honest about outcomes/results, and made me feel at ease and comfortable during my procedure. My nurse was, I think her name was Nurse Maggie? But guess what? She was amazing too! She met me there early in the morning to accommodate my last minute request, and was patient and extremely nice. She even played my favorite tunes to help put me at ease during the procedure.

Honestly, this place is hands down an organization to be admired by others from across the country. Every single person that I encountered, from the ladies at the front desk, to the nurses that were in and out, had a smile and seemed only to want to ensure my happiness throughout the process.

As for the procedure itself; I’m one week post-op and was extremely swollen the day after my procedure. I got lipo on upper and lower abdomen, waist, and bra rolls, as well as Trisculpt E/X, where they remove sagging skin under your belly button. My swelling has gone down some every day, a lot since the day after. I go for my one week post-op visit tomorrow and am looking forward to a new garment because initially, I could barely clasp this thing on the first row of hooks. Now I’m on the last/third row and I have plenty of room. So I’m going down pretty quickly. Can’t wait to see my final results! I know I’m going to be snatched because my nurse showed me the 1 plus ¼ container of fat that was removed, plus the huge piece of sagging skin, so there is no question of what was done.

Oh yea, I was awake the entire time. Did it hurt? Um, heck yea. Sorry guys, but it did hurt until the meds really started to kick in good. By that time I barely felt a thing, but initially, it did hurt. Was the pain unbearable? Not at all. I actually told the Dr., “don’t mind me cringing, just do what you have to do”, because I could take it. As for now, I would say it was worth it, but I’m waiting to see my final results after the swelling goes down. I would definitely recommend both the Woodbridge and Tyson’s location to anyone who is thinking about getting their sexy back.
