Sono Bello Laser Liposuction Vs. Traditional Liposuction Which is Better/which Option is the Better Choice for Lower Body?

Hi Cheyla.... Wow! Your question just shows how a clever marketing campaign with literally hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on media advertising can give the impression that their method provides superior results. Sono Bello uses nothing different or special when compared to most body contouring practices. They cleverly use of the term "Tri Sculpt" as a proprietary procedure when it is nothing different than what is used in most practices these days. "Power Assisted", liposuction has been used by most of us for the past ten years. The use of the term "Tri Sculpt", resembles the term, "Tri Plex", from the latest Cynosure "Smart Lipo", laser asissted liposuction system, which they do not have. They use an older generation "Smart Lipo", system; state of the art, they are not. The "specialists", mostly, are not plastic surgeons and have had no background residency training  in body contouring or liposuction. The use of local anesthesia only, limits the amount of liposuction that can be done safely at one time without risk of lidocaine overdose such as occurred in their facility in Bellevue, Washington, resulting in a patient death. It can also be quite painful. They use high pressure sales tactics where patients see a "counselor", not the doctor, in their consultation who discusses and recommends the procedure to them. The diagnosis and recommendation of treatment for a medical condition should be made only by the physician. The use of laser-assisted liposuction is a good technique and I think that it does provide benefits over traditional liposuction when used properly and in areas that provide a higher degree of precision, with improvements in skin tightening, but good results can be obtained with traditional liposuction and the VASER device too. It is important to see and experienced and artistic plastic surgeon who has attention to detail and is not trying to get as many cases done as possible to increase profits.To paraphrase Forrest Gump's, "life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you are gonna get"; Sono Bello is like a box of doctors, you never know who you're gonna get. Do your research and look for someone who is Board Certified by the Board of Plastic Surgeons, has hospital privileges for that procedure and is experienced with proven good results. 

Hi @CheylaThanks for the question! Sono Bello is a chain and they have a wide range of people performing liposuction there. I am uncertain if they are all plastic surgeons or not. I would recommend seeking your liposuction with a reputable plastic surgeons office where they are dedicated to performing your surgery at the very highest level and in a way that is tailored to your specific needs. Best of Luck,Dr. Chopra

Thank you for your questions.  I typically recommend laser assisted liposuction.  There are different type of lasers that we can use in combination with liposuction to help with the skin retraction.  I would recommend you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to have an in person evaluation.  Best of luck to you.
