Athenix or Sono bello?!

Athenix or Sono bello?!

NewmisskJanuary 28, 2017
I've been a frequent follower of treads here. Currently I'm trying to decide between Athenix and Sono Bello. Anyone had any experience with either of these facilities. Which one should I go to for liposuction of the abdomen and waist area. Any reasons would be very helpful.

I had tumescent liposuction at sono hello. I'm only 3 weeks post op I do see some improvements. I'm still very sore and tender. You won't see final result until about 3 months.

How did the staff and doctor treat you? How long did you take to resume normal activities

I think you would be a great candidate for Sono Bello. I had lipo of the abdomen and waist 8 weeks ago and am ecstatic at the results. I finally have a waist. I am almost 40 years old with 2 children. I went back to work the next day after surgery. I will admit i was sore but realized the more i moved the better i felt. I did not take the narcotics for pain, i just took ES tylenol. I promise the procedure is worth it and you will be happy with the results.

I've been in contact with Sono Bello, and I strongly recommend AGAINST SONO BELLO. They're like one of those bait-and-scam companies, and they never leave you alone. I keep getting spam calls from them despite repeatedly asking (and telling) them to take me off their call list. I've also done a lot of exterior research, and past Sono Bello patients have said that it really is just a scam. They've never saw a difference and they received the worst customer service ever, making them feel really unsafe about the very idea of working with them.

I don't know much about Athenix, but I can 100% back up saying NO to Sono Bello.

Let's just say that so far I'm absolutely impressed with my results. Dr. Malin performs miracles and I've never looked like this before. Hurts like hell, but completely worth it.
I'm sleep but would post a before and after picture of my recovery

I am going to Dr. Malin in 2 weeks. Are you still happy with your results? Any advice?

Hi, yes. I'm still happy with my results. Ill post an update picture of my progress. I still have some swelling and a few lumps which I massage myself.
An advice for recovery is walking around your room/house/apartment for 5mins everytime you wake up on your day of surgery. It helps with the recovery. Buy a lot of fruit smoothies incase you don't want to eat anything heavy.
Good luck girl! You'll love your results!
