Sono Bello - Cincinnati

My local facility has a great staff. Absolutely enjoyed everyone I worked with. From first intro to surgery day was ~3 weeks. Of which one week was me deciding if I wanted to move forward. Once I signed the forms we were flying. Pre-op was a week later, then surgery one week after.

My biggest complaint about the Sono Bello set-up. Is that for a total first timer, it can feel like you are a bit of a cog in the operation. They do give you a good amount of reading material to look at from home, and send what to expect videos. Thankfully my care consultant was quite patient with my quite often unscheduled follow ups and calls.

2 weeks out from procedure, I'm feeling pretty great. I look better than I ever have, and can't wait to stop wearing the binder to get some of that confidence out in public. It definitely wasn't cheap and maybe having a personal trainer for 3 months would have produced the similar results. However I have no regrets.

3 Weeks in - 3 Weeks left to get an idea of where this plane is going to land. Swelling has started to reduce pretty dramatically. Firmness and Tightness under the skin becoming much more apparent. I believe I still have a fair bit of swelling to go down, however, over the last week I lost ~5 lbs of which I assume was mostly the retained swell weight. Still cautiously optimistic I will still feel like it was worth it around week 6 when I get a better idea of final outcome.

Amazing results, had my surgery May 23rd and as of July 31st I have dropped 4 sizes. I was wearing an 8 pants and M top, I am now in a size 4 pants and a xs-s top. I am so happy with my new body, thank you Sono Bello. I would recommend Sono Bello to anyone that may be thinking of taking the next step, go for it you won’t regret it. #ILOVESONOBELLO #Atotaltransformation

Best thing I ever did! Feel so ,icy better about my body and self age.
Sonobello Cincinnati was a great experience from the minute you walk through the door you know you are in good hands.
Dr Maier takes time to explain everything to you step by step and his team are amazing. They all truly care and take great care of you.

I had the most amazing experience with Sono Bello, Cincinnati. Carissa was my consultant and she was incredible. She was informative, caring and really wanted to make sure it was a good fit for ME, not for their pocket. Dr. Meir performed the surgery (lower abs, upper abs, waist and bra roll). I would highly recommend him to anyone. My results were incredible with very little bruising and minimal pain. Honestly, I am so pleased with my experience. I have read some negative reviews and certainly did NOT have a negative experience.

I decided to go with Sono Bello in Cincinnati and I am really happy I did! No matter how much I worked out, I could never fully change the shape of my lower sides. As I have gotten older, it only got worse. The final straw was I have a button down shirt that was my go-to, always look good shirt that no longer fit properly. I was really down and decided to do something about it. I chose to do my lower and upper abs, side and chest. I had never had surgery before so I was pretty nervous. The staff was excellent and made me feel really comfortable and explained each step with care and understanding. Doctor Maier was my surgeon and was awesome. I felt really comfortable and it seemed like he took his time. I could not believe how different I looked after the surgery!

The first night was pretty rough and I was sore. I was really happy with how thorough the staff was as I felt like I understood each stage. I got used to the compression garments over time and the swelling keeps going down. I am six weeks past the surgery and really happy with the results. I still have swelling but I look like a different person. All of my old shirts fit and I can't wait until the three month mark!

It was a great decision and I would recommend to anyone who has the same feeling to do this surgery.

I had Smart Lipo done today on upper and lower abs and flanks/hips. I apologize for my before pictures as I hurriedly took them before my procedure today, Oct. 23, 2015. I must say that I am thrilled with my experience with SonoBello, everyone has been so kind and wonderful!
I am very excited to see the results and share them with all of you
Here are my Day 1 before and after pics.

My surgery was over at 4:30 pm yesterday. This is the morning after, and already my swelling is much reduced. I have two garments on and maxi pads on top of my incisions...these things make me very bulky, but I was still able to put on my jeans!! That's great news so far!!

I will take more pics when I remove my garments later today.

I have spent over $8000 on Lipo at sono Bello only to look worse than I did before I have a major indentions in my outer thighs. one side is so severe you could put a softball in it my under arms Are discolored I have giant knots and lumps all over them along with lumps on my inner thighs . Dr Dawson was my surgeon ,
