Sono Bello - Westchester

I had my son 8 years ago, and also quick smoking after 24 years, three years ago (12-5-13). I was losing the baby fat but when I quick smoking I started to gain the weight back, I also suffer from severe neck and back pain from a car accident so I can't workout as much or as hard as I wanted to. So before the weight gain I was 150 lbs, now I was weighing 193 lbs and I am 5 7". Ugh frustrating, so I decided to do Laser Lipo with Trisculpt at Sonobello... Today is day one after the surgery. I had my lower and upper abdomen done as well as my love handles and my bra rolls.
I read and was told it was not painful. Hmm, well for me with the medication they gave (hydrocodone and Zanex) it was painful as hell. When the doctor used local anesthesia and while he was doing the procedure what I felt was pinching, a lot of it. Another way to explain the feeling is if you ever had a tattoo... well that feeling. I asked during the procedure if I am the only one that has complained or felt the pain and the Doctor and nurse said no, it's normal and depends on the person because everyone is different. Well, I was the different one and it hurt as hell... Really hurt!.
So, I can see my waist again and my cooch lol. I couldn't before because of my stomach. It's a little hard to get up from sitting or even bending down because of the incisions (I have seven). I have some discomfort but nothing major. When I get up it hurts or when I try to bend ugh it hurts. Besides that I feel good. A little sore but good. I added photos from the morning of the surgery and after. I will continue adding updates as time passes so you can see the outcome.

I forgot to add these two photos from the day after. That morning all my garments were full of pink liquid. Even my socks! That evening I took a long shower, it made me feel so good. Since I took everything off, I took the chance to wash the main garment that I have to use everyday, which I only have one. The white one you see in the picture, they said to stop wearing it the day after. I also, received a call as a follow up and went over all the information they gave me when i was there which was very helpful.
I am now only taking Ibuprofen for discomfort which is very little. I still have a lot of bruising and the incisions look like they are healing good so far. So more pick stuff coming out (thank god)... but I won't stop using the pads because I don't want to have the garment I have on rubbing on the incisions. I'm moving around pretty good, again i am pretty sore. So if anyone is planning on doing this and it's multiple areas, you will need to take at least 5 days off of work to feel comfortable enough to bend and sit long hours etc.. I will update after a week. Hope this helps.

So I did the procedure on Wednesday and it was a success. I'm posting pictures of two days after the surgery I look really beat up and sore but I see a difference already! The pictures don't do any justice.. I'm very swollen.. I'll post more pics as I heal so whom ever needs help deciding to do the procedure or not this site helped me make my decision and I am so glad I did it! ????????

Still numb in some spots, itchy and a bit sore..I look in the mirror and I can't believe how much my waist has shrunk, no more muffin top and it's only been 4 days! I'm gonna be honest. If you are scared of needles and some pain and don't like to take medication and being uncomfortable after the procedure, I wouldn't recommend doing it..I'm pretty strong and that stuff doesn't bother me but I needed a lot of Xanax to tolerate the procedure.. I slept most of the time and woke up because I felt some pokes. Would I do it again? YES! It was worth it! If you have any questions, please ask me.. Happy to share. This site and looking at pics and reading everyone's experience helped me a lot.. I'll post more photos as time go on, so you can see my progress..????

Swelling going down .. Wearing garment still 24/7 watcha guys think?

Terrible experience, had lipo and ABEx done. Despite what I was told, I did not get the results I expected and was told I would get. They make promises and do not tell you that you may not get what you expect.

My advise is to steer clear of Sono Bello. They sell promises that they don’t deliver. I had a terrible experience with them. I had procedures done over a year and a half ago. I do not have the results promised and also have been left with unsightly scars that still have not healed. I have excess skin in my abdominal area and the surgeon says she will not remove it as part of my revision. She cannot promise me if she fixed my scars and it will be any better. I’m a little confused because isn’t she a plastic surgeon?

I had my firs surgery at sono bello nd it made my confidence plummet. My inner thighs looked like pretzels and my hips were uneven. I had revision but once the swelling went down the asymmetry was worst. I only wear loose fitting pants and skirts. My surgeon was Dr Rosenberg. I also have nerve damage and pain at suction site. I require fat grafting now to fix the dents but sonobello refuses a refund.

I had chin and neck liposuction at Sono Bello. The procedure itself was as described. The process from pre-op to post op so far has been amazing. Just for some stats, I am. 42 year old women who is active, but entering into menopause and has gained 30lbs. I'm also 5'1. I don't mind my body being heavy but the fat face for me is a no-go, and it has impacted my self esteem. Oddly enough it is just the profile I hate, especially when in my 20's had a very sharp jaw line.
Last yet in Feb 2020 I planned on having this procedure along with buccal fat removal and due to Covid and lock-down that was cancelled. I ended up trying Cool Sculpting locally which didn't do anything.
This year I decided to try Sono Bello Tri-sculpt.
So far it's been 6 days and I see a very small difference but understanding that it is early on and I am still swollen it is too soon for me so I am trying to be patient. Also I feel like head wrap is leaving marks on my neck.

I think it looks better. It’s a little bumpy and I have continued to wear the wrap as much as possible. I have also begun icing the area twice a day. It is still tender to touch overall but it unbearable.

Looking a lot better. Lumpy but good overall. I have been Icing and doing lymphatic draining. The bruising has going a way. I have been applying an Arabic gel before putting on my wrap.

I'm scheduled to have trisculpt lipo next week and I'm so excited!!
I gained weight during this pandemic and I'm ok with the lower body weight gain, but not the upper body. I am getting lipo on the upper and lower abdomen as well as the back of the waist.

Hello,

I have been wanting to so Lipo for sometime now. I recently had to undergo a Hysterectomy and now i am ready for this procedure. I am very scared as i have had a few people say Sono Bello in not the way to go!!! I am scheduled for October 28th in Westchester NY. My consultation was great i left feeling confident but again people are telling me no and to go with traditional lipo but i dont want to deal with long recovery. Please can anyone give me any info PLEASE i dont have much time to decide!!



Thank
