Sonobello is essentially nationally franchised surgery. These are corporate liposuction venues staffed by contracted plastic surgeons. Generally, initial consultations are conducted by sales persons with the physician being involved later on in the process. Anecdotally, many patients describe a "hard sell" experience where the goal is to obtain a financial commitment prior to truly evaluating a patient's candidacy.That being said, this is not to say that reputable surgeons cannot deliver reasonable results via a Sonobello clinic. However, the franchise experience is not for everyone.Ultimately, drivers win races not cars. Likewise, results are operator dependent and are less a function of a branded clinic or technology.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
Thank you for your question! Sono Bello is a chain of cosmetic surgery centers that offer laser-assisted liposuction. This is basically regular liposuction with a laser treatment to tighten the skin afterwards. Sono Bello does not offer general anesthesia, so you are awake during the procedure. The cost depends on your body weight and how many areas you are having treated. They do not offer abdominoplasty. So I would recommend seeing a couple other surgeons in your area to see what they recommend as well. If you do decide to have surgery at Sono Bello, make sure you are seeing a surgeon board-certified in Plastic Surgery, because they do hire some non-plastic surgeons.
