Sono Bello - Tacoma

I did 8 Venus Legacy treatments over the course of 4 months. Bear with me as I attempt to explain my experience. I never write reviews of any kind. The quick summary is I had a lovely experience and will be returning for another procedure (stomach Liposuction and Abex ) which I will review at a later date. - My initial consultation was with Liz. She was informative and fun. However, I was a bit disconcerted to not meet the person who performs the treatment until after it's all booked and paid for. This is how they do it at Sono Bello. They serve a lot of people and it definitely feels like it's a big company. For me this was actually reassuring. They know what they are doing and they do tons of the same procedures so everyone seems really experienced. - Kelly is the Venus Legacy technician. She is a lovely woman with a calm and competent demeanor. She gets booked up fast so you really have to reserve your treatment in advance. Updated on 19 Feb 2023: I submitted my review before I was finished. Oops! - The first pass Kelly does is with this warm suction device. It's odd but not unpleasant. - The second one feels like a hot stone. It was so warm and relaxing I half fell asleep every time. - As far as results go, I am not sure Venus Legacy did much. You are supposed to do them once a week or once every other week. For various reasons, like vacations and covid, I sometimes went two weeks without a treatment. I also booked them every other week. If I were to do it again, I would definitely make sure to go once a week. - Additional thoughts would be that Sono Bello is really a liposuction center and I think they probably have the Venus device to assist with liposuction healing and recovery. I don't know how many people really use it as a stand alone procedure. I hope my review has been helpful.

I had lipo to my upper and lower abdomen, waist and back bra roll in July of last year. I was supposed to have my e/x done too but the dr had to stop due to bleeding. I waited six months and got my e/x done as well as some additional lipo to some new places. I’m almost two weeks post op now from my latest surgery figured I’d post some pics! Dr Bullis was great I’d definitely recommend him also as far as nurses go, Monyca is my all time fave! Pic difference is July 2018 to March 2019

Liz Downie gave me a consultation, her service was Excellent! she was kind, understanding, patient, courteous! she made me feel welcome I was a little nervous Liz calmed my nerves! Thank you, Liz, for making my experience a great one!

I will recommend this place to everyone that would want to get rid of their unwanted curves. My experience at this place was great. On my way to the clinic for the proceduce( inner thighs), I was a little bit skeptical because Of bad experience In the past. But, a month after the procedure, I have to say that they did a wonderful job. The only negative thing I can say is the long wait.

I had an excellent consultation today with Sonobello Patient Care Consultant Liz Downie. She answered all my questions, explained everything very clearly and made recommendations I can follow up on. I am glad I went there and am satisfied with the information I received.

I must say, the experience with the pre-operative staff of Sono Bello was very reassuring, answering any question I might have and making sure I understood the process. Dr. Bullis was a saint during my procedure and it was fantastic! I am happy to report, he is a artistic perfectionist and made sure I was as happy with the results as he proceeded through each stage of the process, always making sure the areas in which he was working were complete. The whole experience is amazing, seeing the results at each level and knowing your are in the best operative care. Thank you to Dr. Bullis and Liz for making every effort to keep me comfortable and content. I had my first combination of procedures in late April and my second set of procedures in August. I could not be happier with the results each day. Thank you to all of the staff at Sono Bello.

I have always had issues with my body, but ever since I had this procedure done, by life has changed. I feel sexier, and more confident in my day to day life. Dr. Wortham was a great surgeon- he did amazing. as well as the staff. Recovery was good; i was back to work in 2 days. I was sore; like i worked out too hard. Yes this is an investment, but you are worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where to start... ? I have been thinking about doing something like this for a few years now. After loosing 110lbs and being in great shape, I had to have a serious back surgery and couldn't run or workout like I did before. So, of course, I gained a little of the weight back. But no matter what I did even before my surgery, I could never get rid of my 'muffin-top' and I also had never really had a waist to speak of as I'm very short in stature. So, when I finally worked up the nerve, I called Sono Bello. From the first phone call, I was put at ease. I was afraid to be judged or looked down on. No one made me feel that way. From my consultation with Liz, up to today, my 3 month post op appt, they have been the nicest, kindest and totally funniest office staff!! Kristin at the front desk, well, she's hilarious!! Dr. Bullis and his nurse Sylvie are truly amazing. All of the office staff are super easy to be around. Whenever I go in or call, it feels very much like I'm calling or seeing friends. I am so glad that I got up the nerve to actually do it. And feel very blessed that when I decided to go for it, I chose them. Oh! And my results??? Holy crap!! When they showed me my before pictures, I almost cried. And all the girls in the office got so excited seeing them, too. They really are a great team. And make you feel like you're a member of that team!! #TeamSonoBelloTacoma Kelly L. Frederickson, WA

I came in and was greeted by Liz with her beautiful smile. I just want to say hands down Erricka was very professional and pleasant. She explained every detail for better understanding. The paperwork was pretty quick along with pictures. When the process started; she relaxed me. The gel was cool and when it got too hot; I informed Erricka. That machine was sucking my stomach. No it wasn't too bad; no it didn't hurt; and no there was no down town. I had to skip the gym that night but was running the next day. Make sure to drink water so you can pee out the cells. I can't wait for my next session.

Sylvie is a PHENOMENAL NURSE! It brings a tear to my eye thinking of how compassionate she was during my surgery. Sylvie, Julianna, Dr Bullis made my experience amazing. I cant wait to see my results and photos.
