Sono Bello

I had scheduled upper and lower abdomen and hips and was told minimal recovery. I am a nurse so I scheduled this during a long stretch off. I have had four kids, ruptured appendix, and a broke jaw and nothing compared to this pain during the procedure! I have went back to work but the severe sharp pain is hard to deal with. They did not do the hip area since they couldn't get me numb and after reading the reviews, I dread trying to get that money back but I can be persistent!

The most painful experience of my life! I went to my post op and found out they don't use local anesthesia. They only "numb" the parts to be treated. I wish I had red the reviews before. The process was so painful I thought I was going to die on the table. If you have low pain tolerance don't go to this place. The worst experience ever! They give you a pill to "relax" but in my case it didn't work at all. I can not tell you enough how painful the process was. I thought I knew pain because I had breast augmentation done and tummytack and lipo before but this pain was excruciating. I was about to hold the doctors hand so he would stop. It felt like my skin was directly on a flame and a knife was slicing me while a thousand bees were stinging me. This procedure shouldn't even be allowed by law regulations.

Sonobella scams it's customers. At your most vulnerable moment a non medical sales person "examines" you and assures you that you're a candidate for liposuction. You secure your surgery date with a no refundable deposit of $2500. But at the pre-op appointment with a doctor your hear more details that suggest the procedure will not produce the results the salesperson suggested. I then decided not to have the procedure. At first, I felt grateful that the MD had been honest. But then I wondered how many other people had paid $2500 only to then be told the procedure would not be beneficial.

I was enticed by their commercial and went in for a consultation. The worst decision I ever made.
I was left with a disfigured abdomen and it end up costing me over $15,000 for my bad decision.
The before and after pictures are photo shopped. I realized when they photo shopped my pictures and placed these pictures in my chart. I requested a copy of my chart and the before and after pictures were altered.
You are better off going to the Dominican Republic or even Cuba for liposuction rather than Sono Bello.
I wouldn't send my dog there.
My abdomen was permanently disfigured by Sono Bello.
I had to take them to court and they do not want to properly compensate me from my suffering.
My marriage ended and I did not have a love life during the years that I was disfigured.
Go to a reputable cosmetic surgeon for liposuction NOT SONO BELLO! I urge that you research your doctor carefully.

So, I feel as though they didn't take much fat at all from the areas I requested, several months later my love handles hadn't changed much at all even after the swelling went down, and I hadn't gained any weight at all. I have a little flap of skin sticking out at the one of the end of the scar from the tummy tuck. I had lipo and a tummy tuck done at the same time, (no abdominal muscle repair)
Overall just dissatisfied, very minimal fat was taken during lipo. It's been 3 years since I had my surgery
I actually felt a bit of pain during the surgery as certain areas of my abdomen weren't completely numb when they were cutting my skin.

I must say overall I was better off going elsewhere, I went to soon Bello in Tacoma WA. 3 months ago, they ensure me I wouldn't feel any pain during the procedure it was very painful my body didn't take to the medicine, and they didn't have a plan B to make me feel comfortable, the doctor told me they can stop during the procedure, also when I had to urine my side nurse didn't follow procedure, she told me to just pee on myself! I was cold and felt disgusting lying in my pee and just felt miss lead and I'm not satisfied with my results please ask a lot of questions, especially about the numbing medicine it's not for everyone!

I worked there and it's a racist company, I was let got because I was the only person of color there. Yeah I finally received my surgery after asking for several times, and the director of the company did my surgery and it was the worst experience I've ever had in my life. You would think since it was the medical director I would have a good out come but no it was terrible. I would not ever recommend anyone here, go to a real surgeon. These doctors were just trained at Sonobello and they are not plastic surgeons. It's a waste of time and money. As for being an employee it was the worst job I've ever had in my life. They are prejudice, and don't care about the people that work for them and they don't care about the patients. All they want is money money money and don't care about anything else

I had a hard time removing some "extraness" around my midsection even after exercise. I researched Sono Bello and eventually had some minor lipo performed. I am still in the recovery process, but am pleased with the work and the staff's attention to my concerns. I recommend this establishment for any extra help you might need.

I just had my 6 month checkup and I am delighted with the results. I had waist, abdominal upper and lower, and tummy tuck. The staff was incredible, front desk, to Tia who saw me through till the end. I had reasonable ideas about how I would look and at 6 months I am really happy. My Doctor was knowledgable about what he was doing and let me know what was a reasonable outcome. I would recommend my nurses, Dr, and front staff in Scottsdale to anyone thinking about any liposuction or tummy tuck.

Very frustrated after almost 2 months of my procedure, still have saggy skin, my hips looks almost the same, i did not reduce even one size. I was told by the nurse, she notated everything and have to wait my 3 months to see if i am aprove for a review. The doctor was in the place only for one week and nobody told me that before. So i hope i can get a review with another doctor and apply my guaranty. I pay $8,400 and i think i should be happy now but let see. I will get another review after my next appt

I had my procedure done 12/29/20 and I felt everything trisculpt E/X stitches looks horrible. Alot of pain. I've had 3 c-sections and I never felt so much pain. I screamed, yelled even tried to grab the Dr. Hands. Idk if I passed out or they gave me something to calm me down. They covered my eyes because I couldn't see anything. I hope my result is what I expected.

Don't waste your money on Sonobello.
When you go to a consultation they assure you of the procedure, they even assure you that if the results are not what you expect, sonobello responds.
This is false, of course they offer you more but with your money, the result is an itregular skin, and with everything and that they proceed to fear skin, then the doctor tells the patient that what he required was a tommy tuck.
You can read Sonobello's complains and many patients are complaining about the disaster in the result.
Don't lose money and don't expose your health with Sonobello.
I have everything to demonstrate this testimony.
Do not believe in Sonobello.

So unhappy with results i got and nobody cares cause they don't have the doctors available who did your procedure. Just go for the tummy tuck, its not worth the money you spend

I had laser lipo on three areas about three years ago-Garfield Heights Oh location-Rocky was very good at selling the process-said they could eliminate my concerns and that they wouldn't come back stupid me….not to mention I got sooo sick and the pain was awful. The fat did come back-looks like my skin is wavy -I followed all instructions-wore the compression garments-even longer than they said I had to.in fact -just go buy yourself compressions garments and you will feel great while wearing and save yourself THOUsANDS of dollars. BIG letdown and quite frankly left me very depressed-and yes I exercise five days a week.

Let just say I know what to expect. ( Had lipo and tri sculpt ex tmy tuck) I went to Dallas and my doctor and staff were cool. I did not feel a thing during the procedure except for a slight tug and the nurse telling me to turn on one side then the other. I was very comfortable. Went back for my one week check up looked good, had some fluid removed and moving forward. People you still need to workout and eat properly. They are removing surface fat nothing below the muscle. This is not Dr. Miami this is Sono Bello. You will be sore. I quit taking my pain meds on the 3rd day. Still sore but tolerable without. I had 3000 cc removed. I dont expect to have a Kim Kardashian stomach and waist, but from what I saw of my results by 3 months I will look even better. Thanks.

I paid 6500. 00 for the stomach thighs and back rolls that's they claimed one part was free. My back looks terrible the thighs come out good and my stomach was barely done. I wouldn't recommend it unless you hv money to waste. When I went for review I was told my back rolls were so hard for them.

My. Wife and i went in for a consultation hanna was nice but that's because she hadn't got our money yet. We left and thought a1c we would get for my wife and we would be done then they want a medical clearance from my wife's doctor why the only thing we can see is that their doctor was to scared to be sued i guess. Made no since to us when we explained to them we couldn't do that they would not return our call or nothing so we are not having done. Good thing after seeing these reviews. I would not recommend them run they don't return calls and they don't try to come up with a soulution

Going to Sonobello was absolutely the biggest mistake I've made in my entire life! Not to mention the most expensive one! The people at sonobello are nothing but avaricious deceitful get overs! I have a lot of loose skin after having 3 children (all weighing over 8lbs.) My main interest was a tummy tuck but 3 different people I spoke to from Sonobello reassured me that this lipo would give me the results I was looking for. They blatantly lied to me. My stomach now looks worse than ever after getting lipo to my upper and lower stomach and waist the top part of my stomach is all wrinkly and on my right side where I got lipo at my waist is like a permanent crease or indention. I'm extremely disgusted and angry about the whole sonobello experience and prayerfully they will not be in business much longer

So I was surprised at how painful the procedure was. The compression garment wasn't too bad it was a tad bit uncomfortable. What bothered me the most was wearing it 24/7. So I went and bought another one. So I could wash one well I was wearing the other. The thing that bothered me the most was the fact that when the doctor remove the skin and he sewed it back together it caused these little fat pockets on my hips to be pronounced. Somebody told me they were called dog's ears. When I tried to talk to the nurses that took care of my appointments, they just would change the subject. They wouldn't give me any kind of recommendation or thought as to how it could be fixed. Other than that the members of staff were really nice. Definitely not something I do again. Though I didn't do it for weight loss.

I went there in 2019 to get laser liposuction on my upper and lower abdominal regions and thighs. Then I purchased 2 sets of Venus Skin tightening treatments: First round for abdomen in 2020 and second round for thighs in 2022. These treatments did absolutely nothing! The staff was rude! One staff member, Monica, was especially rude and called the hanging skin from my upper abdomen and thighs fat! Bull crap! I told them it didn't look right, but they refused to make good on it. Recently, I went to a real board certified plastic surgeon to do corrective liposuction and tummy tuck on me as well as obliques and regions under my arms. He'll do the butt, thighs, and hips in a few months. I also went to a board certified plastic surgeon for a

Breast reduction, lift, and scar minimalization. I always tell people if they need any plastic surgery of any kind done, they need to go to a medical doctor who is a board certified plastic surgeon and not a medical spa! I know it will turn out right the first time after everything's redone. Sonobello shouldn't be in business!

Friendly staff from the start. I was a bit nervous and the doctor adjusted my meds to make me more comfortable. I am submitting a before surgery picture side by side of less than 24 hours later.

I fell into thinking this would work. My consultant told me..."you'll have dark glasses, your choice of music, you'll sleep/rest through the entire procedure." The ride service they recommended for me never showed up and then wanted to charge me for the rides. During the procedure, I was in excruciating pain. I spent the procedure trying to push away the doc and his nurse. No music, no dark glasses, no sleeping. After the procedure, I couldn't work for weeks. The incision in my back wouldn't allow me to sit comfortably. Once I kinda healed, my body changed. Although they removed fat in some places, leftover fat migrated to other places. My body is unrecognizable. And, on my own, on a keto diet, I've lost 40 lbs. I would not recommend Sonobello to my worst enemy. Do not fall into their trap. Do not spend money on this pie in the sky.

They do not care about people just collecting the money. After finding out from my primary care doctor that this procedure was not safe for me and I cancelled; they still charged my cards for the procedure I DID NOT HAVE. See photos for full review.
