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.
