Sono Bello Reviews - Is It Really Effective?

I met with a consultant because the advertising led me to believe their face procedure was non invasive, but after much talk I was explained a surgical procedure involving cutting and lifting and a week off from work. Felt I had wasted two hours of my day. My consultant was pleasant and understanding and suggested another option, and offering a good deal I signed.

First appointment went ok, it was relaxing. I was not impressed because I really saw no difference. I was told by the second treatment I would notice, but the second treatment was 5 days late due to schedule issue. I went for my second treatment and again relaxing, my technician was very pleasant. But it was five days behind schedule and I was informed it was very important to do the treatments on time each week.

The day before my third treatment I get a phone call that their machine is broken. Since I work for myself and am usually booked up a week ahead, I could not reschedule a different day that week so again I miss a week. I also now have to extend out another week to complete the process.

I feel like this Venus face therapy is not effective as of now and I don't expect at this rate to even complete it, let alone to see results. I asked to pay for what I did have this far and return my money, but was told "you signed a contract that said no refunds". So I will finish these treatments and hope I did not waste the money. I hope to report in the next month that it was just some bad luck with scheduling and the Venus therapy is worth it. But time will tell.

I have been severely injured by Sono Bello (SB). I've had to have 2 CT scans 2 Ultasounds and a colonoscopy. SB have never reached out to me. Only sent me apology flowers. I still suffer from extreme pain. I have waited for return calls from them, but nothing. I submitted my pre and post op pictures online and was contacted by not 1, but 2 plastic surgeons explaining more than likely what was done wrong. Now I'll be in court for the next 2 years trying to settle this. Thank you SB. I would love to post my videos and pictures. But this site doesn't allow. The night before my surgery my boyfriend videotaped me just to keep an eye on my progress. I'm so grateful he did this.

I had an absolute amazing experience with Sono Bello. Carissa was my initial contact and she was informative, helpful and not at all pushy. She really took her time to make sure you were a good match for the procedure. Dr. Meir was incredible and made me feel extremely comfortable. My results are off the charts incredible. I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Beware of Sono Bello, it is a complete scam. When you go back to them at their recommended time of nine months to show your unsuccessful results you get nothing but a runaround and excuses, and very unprofessional and insulting response from the doctor. At my original consultation, with my husband present, we were told that everything would be very much improved, lower and upper stomach. That is not true. Now, the doctor said I would need a tummy tuck, something that we were not told at the time of the interview. I strongly advise you not go to Sono Bello. We currently discussing this with our Attorney. I expect my money back - $12,000. BEWARE.

I'm glad I didn't read all of the negative reviews I'm seeing today before I had my procedure. I'm at post-op day three. So far, everything has been wonderful. My first consultation was very informative and the staff was very very friendly. I scheduled the procedure and received a discount for paying in full. I had my inner thighs, outer thighs, area under my butt which they referred to as the "banana" and my knees done. I'm 41, I weigh around 120 and I'm 5'. I've always had an athletic type figure due to being involved in dancing and gymnastics my entire life but some trouble areas would not go away no matter how well I dieted and exercised.

For my surgery, I arrived at 6:30 AM at their Cincinnati branch. The procedure started at 7:30 AM. The nurse and doctor were very friendly and kept me very comfortable. I was nervous about taking my pain pills so I opted out of having any pain medicine during my surgery. I was told the lidocaine would numb me pretty well and I wouldn't feel much after it was given. When they were giving me the anesthetic it did sting a bit when I received those shots but that was the worst pain throughout the entire surgery and it wasn't that bad.

The surgery went smooth. I was given a protective constriction garment to wear (which is very important to keep on after the surgery for at least three days if not longer I was told). I showered 24 hours after my surgery. I did get lightheaded in the shower and had to sit down for a moment. I was pretty sore day one and day two, but now, day three I had a much easier time getting out of bed and moving around. When I look at my legs I feel pretty great about the results so far. I know I'm going to be swollen for a few weeks but I can tell I'm going to love the results! I have a thigh gap, something I have never had…ever. Each day someone from SonoBello has called to check on me.

I'm also doing the Venus legacy treatments. I did one before the surgery and have seven left. This process will help smooth out any cellulite, wrinkling and will help shape my legs even better. If I can remember to do so, I will post before and after pics in a few weeks. I would highly recommend the Cincinnati location on Montgomery Road. The staff is amazing.

I have to say Sono Bello Atlanta FA was awesome I had a scheduled appointment and Sahar Zamir made sure I got in earlier and had procedure the next week. I'm so excited.

I had a procedure done ten days ago at the Westchester location. I want to share with you that Dr. Gary Berger was great. He made my experience comfortable and was very patient. Sheba, a receptionist there was awesome and she made me feel at ease with some anxiety that I was experiencing before my procedure. I have to say that the nurses were very nice and accommodating. I went back for my follow up and the nurse helped me to understand what the upcoming months would bring and what to expect after my procedure. I would recommend this office and Dr. Gary Berger to all my friends and family who would like to bring out their beauty. Thanks Sonobello!

My experience with Sono Bello in Scottsdale, AZ was terrible. The sales consultant was great. However, during the procedure, I felt excruciating pain. When I let the Dr. know I was in pain, she replied with, "If you keep complaining, I will have to stop". I submitted a formal complaint and the investigation found that the Dr. did not administer Demerol. When the investigative staff from Sono Bello asked the Dr. why she did not administer Demerol, she said she felt Demerol slowed down the healing process. The results are still botched because I was too scared to allow Sono Bello to go back and fix my mid section. It was very painful, it was scary, and a terrible experience. Take the time to research, interview, and get referrals from a reputable plastic surgeon before having any cosmetic procedure.

I had my procedure done 10 days ago and I'm super excited with my result already, I still have a long way to go but I'm feeling and looking fabulous. From the beginning consultation to the day of my surgery, the staff members and Dr Talaie was caring and professional. You'll feel at ease when talking and asking a million and one questions like I did. My nurse Adrienne was kind and sweet. I would recommend Sono Bello Wayne, PA to anyone. Tired of feeling lousy in your own body even after diet and exercise, Sono Bello can help you regain that confidence that you once had. After giving birth to my son my body was never the same, which I expected but over a nine years course I gained weight in areas that I didn't like, mainly my abdomen. I finally saw a friend of mine that was looking super fabulous and I asked what was her "secret." She told me Sono Bello Wayne and I began with my 6 months research and 10 days later I'm happy with my decision I'm still sore and numb but no bruising and all my incisions are almost closed. I'm in my secondary compression garment that I only take off when showering I have a back up garment for when I hand wash and air dry one to wear. The first few days were hard for me because my tolerance for pain is low but on day 6 I was feeling like my old self again, I was moving around without feeling stiff and I was more active. Sorry for the long review and the over selling but I'm just so excited. Sincerely Nneka.

Hello All, I went to the Manhattan office to register and obtain pricing. I was greeted by an awesome consultant. I was told the cost and got excited to get the surgery started. I gave them a date that I needed for the surgery to be completed on. I went to the Westchester office to have both surgeries done by Dr. Berger. Then I went back to the office for my follow-up and that's when I notified the nurse that I was disappointed. She obviously asked why. I said I was expecting a lot of pain but I was up and about the next day. Thanks Dr. Berger for your painless surgeries, I will and have recommended patients to the Sono Bello Office.
