I was very nervous, with good reason. I wish I listened to my gut. After VERY careful review I chose the Dr I thought was best for me. The morning of, after given the sedation meds, the Dr I chose walked in with another Dr I had never seen. The other Dr told me it was her 2nd week at SB in training, I assumed she was going to watch and learn. NO. She did my surgery. I wasn't told this at all. I learned when she was actually over me doing the surgery. My BP bottomed out twice and surgery had to completely stop. I believe this was due to a 3 hour surgery taking 6. The whole experience was a nightmare. I highly suggest you look elsewhere. Many problems after the fact as well. Too much to list.
I came in as scheduled, waited for almost an hour but the staff at the reception kept laughing and very unwelcoming. The lady at the consultation sounded very proud and ruth. She requested I leave if I am scared and don't know what I want. She was pushing to be nice but very impolite. They gave me a quote of 18000 plus and I compared to others which was way too high. She has no customer service skill at all. Please stay away from this place so they can correct their mistakes. I felt really hurt after sacrificing so much time to get there, and that's what I got.
The staff is above and beyond. I was unfortunate to get an infection. I would have to drive over an hour for them to look at me an change antibiotics. Now I have to go to a wound care clinic once a week. Most painful recovery ever!
I did my Lipo 9mo ago and on my 6mo check up I pointed out to Dr Wallace that I hv too much loose skin. He was telling me I should hv done a tummy tuck and he did not see why I am complaining. If I spend over ******* I want my body to look good. He also did my friend and she had to go back to do it all over agn. Thanks to Dr al Husaini who re do the surgery and now I feel comfortable in my body
I would give it 5/5 except for a few things:
Pro: they worked with me, gave a lot of information to expect, helpful with financing, and provided got youtube videos to go over what I should expect. Overall, got some good information to start with.
Also, the first week I received calls to check on me. And, the customer service is amazing (except for one issue. See Cons).
Cons: There are things you need to know to do beyond what they tell you that can help with results (this is because everyone is different and heals at different periods). And, it may not work for you, and also depends on your Doctor's preference.
I had to watch other youtube videos to get beyond the basic information. This was from previous patients, other doctors and other professionals. Anytime I wanted to do something I would also double check with my doctor to see if I should do it too.
There are added costs they don't tell you about. I wasn't told I would/should purchase a third faha as my faha is getting loose. Or that it is good to go to the faha website and check the sizing AND measure yourself often so you have the correct size.
They didn't tell me until after the surgery that I should get lymphatic drainage massage. This had an added cost of about $50 a pop. I have spent over $500 and it would probably end up being $1500 at the end of it. But, I also have to add they said you can do it on your own, but for the best results it's better to see a professional. They did tell me I should only do it up to what I am willing/can afford.
The 3rd faha cost about $80. A good scar cream ($120), and massage rollers, and oils. And other things, like an ab board ($20) is very helpful.
At the end of the day, I spent $2,000 more.
And other issue small issue with customer service. My 2nd stage faha was not the right size to begin with and was too big within a week. I was supposed to get the right size but if I didn't call like 5 times in a three week period I wouldn't of gotten a new one.
Disclaimer: I chose to do the extra stuff because I want the best results AND I don't regret it. I WOULD have done it again.
Final thoughts: I love how I look 4 weeks in. You have to be your own advocate, and speak up, follow the directions of the doctor even if it is not comfortable. At the same time trust the process!
I am extremely happy even at week 4, my results won't be complete until month 3 (possibly month 6).
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 had cool sculpting done 3 years ago NOT at Sono Bello. I have cried a lot of tears over the expensive mess that decision made on my body. Giant hard squares of fat (looked like a pound of butter under my skin). I have been paying on this for so long and it has felt like I was paying for a wrecked car.
Sono Bello was very clear about what the laser lipo procedure would do. If anything, it hurts more than I thought and I hate wearing this firmware which they recommend for 3 months. I can tell right now that those big fat square are gone. It has only been a week and 1/2. I will weigh in in a month or two when I am no longer quite as sore and swollen.
I see the advertisements especially now as we will soon be approaching spring, the reason people would flock to Sonobello to do this now is because they want to look good in their bathing suits, the staff at Sonobello needs to be forthcoming and tell clients that it takes at least 18 months for your body to contour to the way you want it to, and that you can not expose your scar to the sun. I had a tummy tuck and lipo in 2018 and my belly still has not contoured and I wear my compression garment everyday. I wear it because it feels go. Just get all the facts and ask questions and research. Khadijah Shakur RN
I received a lot of good and useful information from the front desk staff regarding Lipo for for my abs. I'm thankful that I got the information that I needed. I think I need to workout a little more to get the body I want, however I WILL be booking a procedure in the near future.
