Why did I wait?

By Sue O., Leavenworth, WA, Verified Reviewer

I've struggled with what has happened to my body as I age. I'm on the back-side of 50 and my waist had completely disappeared and all my favorite clothes had been packed away because they no longer fit. Additionally, my self-confidence was on a steady decline because every time I looked in the mirror, I didn't see myself anymore. I saw someone I used to hope I'd never look like.

After a lot of research and then actually talking to people I sought out who were past Sono Bello patients, I began to hope I could get just some of the results I saw others getting.

I finally talked to the professionals at Sono Bello. I had seen many commercials, but I have a pessimistic side that told me that what they were advertising was just "too good to be true." The professionals at Sono Bello answered ALL of my questions and I knew what I could expect.

I decided to move forward with the procedures and I am beyond thrilled. After each procedure in the body contouring process, I was happier and happier. I asked them to help with my face and neck - WOW, everyone asks me, "What's different about you?" They also say, "You look very happy, what's new in your life?" I'm very proud to tell them about my procedures and they agree I look wonderful.

My confidence has returned, I've unpacked some of my favorite clothes, and I have energy and youth that I've missed for quite some time.

My advice - DON'T WAIT. Do this for yourself - I'm very glad I did.

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

Thank you!

By Eva A., San Diego, CA, Verified Reviewer

I am so happy that I decided to go to Sono Bello! My experience from day one has been amazing. My consultation was great and very informative. Everyone in the whole office is so nice and helpful.

I had the lower skin removal done and so far even though I am only a few weeks out the difference so noticeable and amazing! I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months!

Great staff!

By Annette E., Washington, Verified Reviewer

The staff at the Bellevue location is extremely professional, nice, and personable. The doctor was SUPER friendly and funny and made me feel much more comfortable on the day of the procedure.

My only negative comment would be that I wish they would have explained the negative aspects of the procedure a bit more...maybe even showed pictures during the sales pitch. Although they did say every patient's recovery is different and there is no guarantee, it would be a bit less shocking if I would have seen some pictures before having the procedure.

My procedure was only seven weeks ago and although I do see a marked difference, I am hopeful I have not yet seen the full positive results.

I would definitely recommend Bellevue Sono Bello if you are considering this type of cosmetic surgery. They were amazing, and the follow up after the procedure was excellent. The doctor even called me himself!

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

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

Body Contouring success

By Leah S., Colorado, Verified Reviewer

I'm 5 days post surgery, had four areas done (upper, lower abs, waist, and hips). From the consult to the procedure, the whole experience was fantastic (consult - Janit, nurse - Tamara, and procedure from Dr. Hendrik). They kept me well informed, kept me at ease and explained what to expect. They provided fantastic advice for additional treatments to achieve the results I was seeking.

So far the pain is what I expected, if you think recovery is not going to hurt, well, then you are not being realistic, but I will say take at least 3-4 days to recover properly.

So far, my recovery's been great. I had drainage for the first day and a half, then it stopped, I did not have too much, in fact, I expected a lot more. I kept my bandages clean and changed them anytime I saw even the slightest hint of fluid. I showered after the first 24 hours and that felt great. I've been up and about as of the second day, even returning to work (from my home office).

I changed into my garment on the second day, that felt so much better than the binder they sent me home with, and it helps control pain and swelling. The most important thing you can do it to get up and move. I cleaned my house and went about my business as usual but no working out. I won't lie, I was moving a little slow, but it was good for me.

The first few evenings were tough because I chose not to take Norco and stick to Advil, Arnicare pellets/cream and CBD Oil. I will say that my core and torso are bruised, sore to the touch, swollen and a little hard, but I expected as much. I did experience bruising and swelling in my pelvic area, which was not a pretty site, but I used cool compresses and made sure to stay off my feet - my back every 3 or so hours for the first 3 days, which helped a lot.

Every day is getting better and better. Next week, I will begin Phase II, four more areas (outer, inner thigh, banana roll and knee). Yep, I did it once and I'm going back for my final results. Not happy about recovery but excited to get this done! It was a little pricey but you get what you pay for!

I will start back to Orange Theory tomorrow up until my next phase. I can already see the results, and it is fantastic! After having three kids by c-section, I needed this! The areas I had treated were areas that I had some success losing in the past with aggressive workouts and diet but still could not achieve full results. I am thrilled to see the final results, and I can't believe I did not do this sooner!

I think this works amazing for those who maintain an active lifestyle, eat clean (no processed food, soda or other crap) and are looking to lose the problem areas for good. In my opinion, this is not a weight loss solution, if you want to lose the weight you must, unfortunately, put the work in before you seek this treatment. Just my two cents...

I feel great again!

By N B., San Diego, CA, Verified Reviewer

For the past few years, I have been really down on myself because I had rolls on my back and no waist. I decided to come to Sono Bello to see what they could do for me. I am so glad decided to come here: Dr. Guttikonda gave me the waist I never thought I could have. I haven't been this confident in myself in a long time. Best decision I have made was coming here. Thank you!

Great experience!

By Sophie S., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

It’s been one year since I had my surgery at Sono Bello in Denver, Colorado. Since then I’m down three dress sizes. My friends are so envious of the transformation. I saved very hard to have this done, and I really am pleased with what they gave me. The staff is prompt with reminding you of appointments, and they are so pleasant. The surgeon was great. Amazing bedside communication and comforting. He even checked on me the night of the surgery.

Free consultation

By Cassandra M., Washington, Verified Reviewer

She was very helpful and very friendly. Liz was the one that gave me my free consultation. I was very happy I was able to get a cosigner to have my surgery, so I have to come in there on Monday to finalize everything for my appointment, so I'm super excited. And she did a fantastic job, and a big thank you to her.

New body

By Loranna E., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

Four kids later my body was destroyed. I felt retorted and not like myself. I was so nervous about how I looked, I couldn’t even be undressed in front of my husband. Sono Bello fixed me! I look 25 again! I feel great and sexy again. My husband is happy. I did it as well, even though in the beginning he wasn’t on board.
