BEST results I could ask for!!

So happy with my results. I looked 9 months pregnant, worse in person. Just one day post surgery, and I had my flat tummy back. I felt like a whole different person, thanks to Dr. Michael Giuffrida. He truly is PHENOMENAL!!

Dr. Giuffrida is an Artist. Simply amazing.

I met Dr. Giuffrida On my pre-op appointment He came in Very welcoming and professional I stood up so he could see my body and what we were going to do, then he says "How's your budget? Would you include your chest?" to which I replied I would totally do it, but i don't have anymore money (which was completely true) and we moved forward, then he asked me "do you have any questions for me?" and I had a million but at that moment I blanked out and said "I don't know! What do people ask?!" the he explained everything to me when would I be able to go back to work, to exercise, what I should eat, what to expect from my surgery etc, etc. So professional. We were done, I left home with instructions on paper and the the day of the surgery came. I followed every single instruction they gave me and showed up on time and beyond excited.Then Dr. Giuffrida came in draw everything he needed to draw on my body and then says "do you mind if i do this too?" (pointing at my breast) to which i replied, "no, go for it" and I remember feeling I was in the bests hands, not because he did my breast too, but because he's so professional it made me feel he was putting his name on my body, so he was gonna do his best (and he did) and that made me feel so sure about everything. No doubt I got the best surgeon in the word. As soon as he was done drawing everything on me Rita got me ready with my meds and cleaned my body. The procedure started and I was conscious the whole time but now I don't remember quite well, it's a blurry memory right now, but what I can say is that Dr. Michael Giuffrida's hands are golden! Such a medical artist, I think I was even singing throughout the procedure lol. Long story short, I passed out twice and ended up in E.R. there's a whole black spot in this story and then I'm fully aware of myself in the emergency room, it was around 9 or 10 pm and Dr. Giuffrida came to check on me to the hospital I was taken to, which I think was the most human /professional thing! As I've been saying he's simply amazing. We laughed a little about the scenario, how I went there to get an amazing body and ended up confused in the emergency room with still an amazing body lol, he even took a picture of me and shared it with the nurses so they knew I was perfect. Then i got home and the following days Dr. Giuffrida checked on me again, everything was/is going great. And i got my one week follow up appointment and let me tellnyoh I got 1000% more than i was expecting, of course I'm still a little swollen, but the body I have, I've never felt so confident in my entire life! Beyond words, I can't even begin to explain how amazing it feels.and how this experience has changed my life in so many ways. I'm proud of taking that decision and even prouder to say Dr. Giuffrida was my surgeon. So if you're considering getting a liposuction, He's definitely your choice. Thank you so much Dr. Giuffrida for all your professionalism and caring. I'll be forever grateful and continue taking care of this amazing body you got me! Much love. Germán Oviedo Rojas

Outcome of my surgery

I am a 49 year old and had liposuction done on my belly abdomen and flanks. 3 1/2 liter of fat has been removed by Dr. Giuffrida. He is very professional and answered all my questions. He is outgoing and easy to talk to.The outcome so far is great and as expected. 7 weeks post and just a little bumpiness is left, which should resolve over time. I would recommend Dr. Guiffrida to my family and friends.

I had a very satisfying experience with Dr. Giuffrida.

Dr. Giuffrida was so pleasant to talk to, and he was honest with me. He's very nice and professional, and did an amazing job on my neck and face. I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm going back to him for all of my cosmetic needs. Thank you, Dr.

53 Year Old Female Wanting to Get a New Lease on Her Body and Her Image! - Sacramento, CA

Motivation: Losing weight had never been easy, and once weight was lost, still had a muffin top, continued to battle hips that would not squeeze into jeans without leaving pieces bulging here and there. Met with Dr. Giuffrida and he has been a wonder! I LOVE the results! The cost worth every penny as I am incredibly thrilled with the outcome, even the initial 2 weeks after surgery saw the difference, now 6 months after surgery and I have a new me! Total confident in my appearance and how my clothing fits me! I would do it all over again!

Laser Lipo Body Contour at Sonobello. Sacramento, CA

I knew I wanted to do lipo even though I know the outcome for my body will still leave loose skin. But it's really not bad to how I thought it would be. After my surgery I did regret for not jumping to tummy tuck first, but I was desperate and just started a new job and had a new born. All I cared was looking slimmer during that time. But I do like the result my doctor gave me. He contoured my body and gave me shape. The only thing I'm not happy about is that my left stomach has this extra hang I think can be fixed but the nurse said it would still be uneven after I fix it. I'm not too happy about that hang and hope to get it fixed. I did heal within 3 weeks. Although it took 5 months to finally see the end results.

22 Years Old with Hyperplasia. Reconstruction Surgery. Sacramento, CA

About a year ago I went through 1 cycle of cool sculpting. It left me with a form of hyperplasia, causing my stomach and waist tissue to toughen and enlarge. The only cure is to remove with liposuction. I am now preparing to get correctional liposuction on my abdomen and waist. Ive booked my appointment dr. Michael A. Giuffrida at sonobello. He seems to be a pretty good surgeon and I'm very impressed with his work. I'm really nervous honestly, because I'm the type of girl who would be the one in a million with a rare side effect. A little background I am 5'7" and 149lbs. 22 years old with. No children and 1 former cosmetic procedure. My goal is to have a normal looking waist and stomach and be able to dress all cute again. Updated on 25 Sep 2015: Quite impressed with what I've seen so far. The medication made me fall asleep during the procedure. It didn't hurt at all. I was so happy when I looked at myself and my tummy looked flat. I haven't looked like this in years. I hope when the swelling is down I'll look fabulous!!!! Thank you dr. G Updated on 26 Sep 2015: So today I am not feeling much pain. The norco makes me really sleepy. I cleaned my house and walked my dogs with very little pain. I took my first shower and I really love how I look Updated on 26 Sep 2015: Updated on 26 Sep 2015: Updated on 27 Sep 2015: Updated on 2 Oct 2015: So I'm going in today for my post op appointment. I hope they aren't taking pictures today because I am still very bruised Updated on 6 Oct 2015: Dr. Giuffrida is absolutely amazing. After a previous procedure I was left with peridoxial adipose hyperplasia all over my stomach and flanks. I went to Dr.G to remove all of the damaged tissue and get a smaller waist. Although he was not familiar with the condition he assured me everything would turn out great. He is very attentive and made sure I did not experience any discomfort during the procedure. He also called immediately after leaving to ensure I made it home safely and was feeling alright. I really appreciate how kind his staff was to me during the whole procedure. I am currently 11 days post op and I'm extremely impressed with the results I am seeing so far. He has removed all of my stomach bulge and given my body a whole new shape! thank you

49 Years Old, Ready for the Next Half of Life - Sacramento, CA

My name is Jeri, I would like to share my journey with Dr. Giuffrida and Sona Bella. One day I looked into the mirror and saw someone that I didn’t like and had no intenstion on getting to know. I have always eaten clean and worked out in the gym 3 to 4 days a week. Thanks to menopause my weight was not coming off. Menopause had changed my body and there was nothing I could do about it. I looked into getting a tummy tuck but that was so extreme, I didn’t need a tummy tuck. I looked into Sona Bella and researched their medicine, at my consultation I was shown how they could sculpt my body back to what it was. When I met Dr. Giuffrida he was understanding and very easy to talk to. He showed me the areas that need work the most work and how he would be able to change my body. I had 2 wonderful sessions with Dr. Giuffrida, I felt at ease knowing that he had such success along with his confidence and well placed wit I knew that I was in the best hands possible. Not to mention I was very excited to see my new body. Within 2 weeks I was back in the gym and my body started to look like my body again, at my first check up I had lost 10 pounds and looking great. Gr. Giuffrida not only gave me my body back but he gave me my confidence back, I no longer hide my body in over sized dresses or large shirts. There are truly no words that can show my gratitude for Dr. Giuffrida and Sona Bella for everything they have done. Thank you Jeri Ploog
