No regrets

By Mandy M., Fayetteville, NC, Verified Reviewer

No regrets! I have always struggled with my weigh and while in the military I was able to keep those concerns at bay. After retiring from the military, I begin seeing someone in the mirror I was not happy with. I did not take pictures, became very self-conscious and somewhat withdrawn.

Since meeting Maggie at Sono Bello in Charlotte, North Carolina, I am amazed at the transformation that is taking place within me. I must first say that the staff is very professional and helpful. Then I met Maggie, what an incredible young lady! She lifted my spirits by her infectious and exciting attitude about becoming the best "you that you can be."

After my consultation, I met Dr. Pratt. He is very professional, thoughtful and an excellent surgeon. He listened to my concerns and "my doubts" as to whether or not the procedures would be right for me. I shared with him that I’ve tried LipoSculpture, hormone treatment, and of course, diets. The most important thing I want to share at this point is that I absolutely have "no regrets!" Shout out to his nurse Tae, thank you for your encouraging words and holding my hand (smile).

It’s been three months since my procedure, and I can’t stay out of the mirror (smile). I would compare Dr. Pratt to Michael Angelo, the great artist of all times! I am "becoming" the picture of perfection, meaning that I’m proud to be me! I can recall that weeks after the procedures everyone began noticing the new me. The value of how I am beginning to feel about myself and how I look is worth more to me than anyone will ever know. Thank you Dr. Pratt!

Thank you, Dr. Pratt and Maggie, I am looking forward to phase two of my transformation.

Sono Bello

By Jill L., San Diego, CA, Verified Reviewer

My experience with Sono Bello has been great. I have been happy since I walked through the door at my first consultation. My consultant was very nice. My nurse Amanda was amazing, she is so sweet and helpful. I was very nervous at my pre-op, but she made me feel relaxed. I can't wait to see how my final results turn out!

Customer

By Barbara E., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

Having had other procedures without problems, I came to Sono Bello with high hopes. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed at every turn.

These "awake" procedures are VERY, VERY painful! The doctor and the nurse did nothing to help me while I sobbed through this whole nightmare.

The front desk folks are more interested in discussing their own problems/weekend plans than being concerned with customers. There was NO follow up when I was so ill at my one-week check-up, I asked the front desk to schedule something and call me. This was because I felt so crummy I couldn’t stand up. Nurse Aletha even asked them to schedule a telephone follow-up call and let me know. THEY DID NEITHER!

My recommendation? Go to a certified, well-recommended plastic surgeon in private practice - they will care for you. Sono Bello is out for your money!

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

Best money ever spent

By Kimberly W., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

My experience from start to finish has been phenomenal. I'm only three weeks post op and very pleased with my results thus far. I had my waist, upper and lower abs done. These were problem areas for me to lose with diet and exercise. I wish I would have done it sooner. I went back to work three days later. The staff are very knowledgable and very systematically organized. I get timely emails with reminders to keep you on track. Wear your garment is key. I wish it wasn't so expensive or I'd get a few other areas done just for the heck of it, areas that don't really bother me but could look better. The only recommendation would be the post-ops be scheduled with the doctor for specific questions. Post op was a very "cookie cutter" regimented.

Sono Bello

By Scott K., California, Verified Reviewer

My experience from the consultation to the follow-up appointment has been phenomenal. Having this particular procedure has been something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. I was initially seen by Kayla, and she couldn't have made me feel more comfortable so much so that I wasn't self-conscious when taking off my shirt, which I haven't done outside of my home in years. Natasha was also someone whom I had to take my shirt off for, and she made me feel awesome. I then was met by Dr. Guttikondra and his confidence and professionalism is probably what set me at ease and help make me commit to having this done.

During the procedure Dr. Guttikondra kept me informed and at ease during the entire procedure. His assistant was Joy, and she too has amazing before, during, and after the procedure. I have only just had the procedure done and the pain has been surprisingly minimal. The change in body composition is already obvious to me (I was stoked to be shown the actual fat removed after the procedure), but I know it will be even better after several weeks when the swelling has subsided.

I can't thank the Sono Bello in San Diego from top to bottom enough for all they have done so far. Looking forward to the 2019 Summer when I will be confident to take my shirt off at the beach for the first time in years!

Sono Bello

By David G., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

Although I was always a big guy, I played sports my entire life and had a lot of muscle. I knew eventually this muscle would turn to flab so eventually got liposuction to avoid being a fatty. My wife is happy I chose to do this. The Sono Bello people were very nice and helpful.

Owww...this hurts so bad!

By Mimi L., San Francisco, CA, Verified Reviewer

While I do see some contouring, I believe it's more from my increased physical activity and moderated diet. But the pain is beyond belief. Because the payment is non-refundable, you feel compelled to go through with the procedure. I cannot tell you how much it hurts!

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

5 stars - DTC location

By Michelle B., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

Staff - consultants, front desk, Dr. Hendricks and the nurses are first rate; very friendly and informative from start to finish. I did the laser lipo with the EX for my stomach and then multiple other areas with the laser lipo. They kept me informed with each step and what to expect afterward. I highly recommend this location to everyone.

Laser lipo

By Kel G., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

I didn’t really know what to expect when first making my appointment. I honestly just wanted to learn more about what they did. I am beyond happy that I chose to get this liposuction done. I really look so much better. It has improved my confidence greatly.

Consultation

By Bella G., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

My first consultation appointment was this week. I was a little taken back with the fact that you do not meet with a physician...instead, they have a sales team that presents the procedures and costs to you. But she was very knowledgeable. The stage clearly explained what to expect. They gave me all the information I needed. I still haven’t made a decision, but they seem like a great practice. I’m excited about this possible journey.

Wow

By Jolene N., Colorado, Verified Reviewer

I had my upper and lower and back and hips done. I ain't going to lie, it hurt, but the way the nurses and the doctors have been taking care of me is very professional. Heather and Dr. Hendrick are the best! Also, a shout out to Dr. Morton.

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