Highly recommended

By Stacey O., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

When I hit 30, I started noticing that I had let myself go a little. I went in for a consultation, and by the end of it, I had an appointment for the procedure the next day due to a cancellation! The woman who did my consultation answered all of my questions and was so pleasant that it made me feel comfortable. Everyone, since I started going in, has been so nice and welcoming. I would certainly recommend this group to anyone who feels like they are stuck in their body!

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

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.

Wonderful

By Liz W., Overland Park, KS, Verified Reviewer

I had a c-section 30 Years ago and could never get rid of the “roll” of fat just above the incision, no matter what I did. So when my daughter said she was getting married, I wanted to look my best. Sono Bello I awesome! My procedure was easy and I was up and about the next day. It’s been one month and I’m so pleased. I have a flat tummy and can actually see my feet when I look down. Everyone here is wonderful. They listen to you and follow what “I” want. I would highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone looking to feel better about their body.

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

Amazing experience

This was the best decision. Truly life changing. I strongly recommend having your procedure done here. These are the best Doctors, nurses, and staff. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. These folks are great.

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.

Very...very...disappointed

By Mary K., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

This was my second time going to Sono Bello. The first time was awesome, I went down two sizes with no issues, was back on my feet and back to work within a week. Now let's talk about the second procedure. I had some medical issues, and from the meds I had to take for health reasons, I picked back up some weight. I scheduled another 3 area procedure to be done, and this time I was so disappointed in them. I was left with dark quarter sides marks on the back of both thighs. On the inside of my thighs a long dark crease, with an indentation along with it. I went back for them to fix the problem but they could not get it done. They came up with every excuse there was and passed me from one person to another. I have told all my family and friends that were interested (DO NOT go to Sono Bello). They don't care once they have your money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

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.

Scam!

By Lauren W., Columbus, OH, Verified Reviewer

Please don’t waste your money. I’m currently in a dispute with them and CareCredit to get my money back. My sales lady, Sarah, pushed it all on me and she false advertised. I don’t know how she sleeps at night knowing how many lies she tells and how she uses your emotions to get you to sign today so that you are STUCK! When I say stuck, it means the day you sign you have to put money down. If you decide the next day you don’t want to do it, you lose that down payment. Also, what they don’t want you to know is you pay for it all up front so if you decide fourteen days before surgery you don’t want to do it you are still charged the full amount REGARDLESS If you had surgery or NOT! They say they will remove 50-70% of fat. Haha! Such a big fat disgusting lie!

Horrible

By Angela T., Troy, MI, Verified Reviewer

I have healed horribly, I am deformed, the fat relocated and I look like I have two stomachs. I cannot wear a tight shirt or bathing suits. I wish I would have never done it. And of course, I’m still making payments every month.

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!

Venus treatments

By Dineen R., Florida, Verified Reviewer

I would never recommend Sono Bello to anyone. I went to Sono Bello considering a mini facelift. During the consult, the sales person told me the cost would be approximately $14,000 to $17,000. I have to admit, I had no idea it would be that costly and there is no way that would fit into my budget. She convinced me to purchase these Venus treatments. She showed me before and after pictures that were amazing. These women actually looked like they got a face lift. She pushed me to purchasing these treatments right there and then, so that I she can offer me $250.00 off.

I paid $1,500 for six treatments. I had absolutely no results whatsoever. I asked for a refund, but they refused. I feel Sono Bello scammed me, as I'm sure they have scammed many others. I wish I had better researched Sono Bello prior to signing a contract. I hope anyone considering Sono Bello, does their research.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
