I had the Smart Lipo procedure done at Sono Bello in Scottsdale, AZ approximately three weeks ago. I had my upper, lower abs and my waist done. They removed approximately 2000 CC total from all areas. I don't know if that's considered a lot after reading previous reviews. Overall I am ok for now.. but hoping to see a better result down the line.
What I see now is small difference but nothing major enough to jump for excitement. I've been experiencing a lot of lumps. The pain in not unbearable but I can't lie the itching is horrible. I wear the second stage compression garment daily and at night I wear the first stage wrap. Not sure if it makes much of a difference relative to the shaping but it is comfortable to sleep in.
If anyone is thinking of having Smart Lipo definitely do your research and have PATIENCE because this healing process is long before you see any major results.

I had the same exact procedure done at sono Bello in Long island New York a year ago. They removed exactly the same amount 2000 cc’s, and I didn’t see any difference in my body. I wore my compression garment as requested I made all of my follow up appointments I even requested to see the surgeon and I was told that the surgeon doesn’t see anyone until after three months. I eventually demanded to see the surgeon and upon that visit with the surgeon I was told to give it more time. Well to date I still look the same I will never recommend Sono Bello to any of my friends.

Wow! Now I must say I have been in the gym four days a week doing an hour of cardio and twenty minutes of weight training. I wear my garment during the day and the first binder garment over night. I wasn’t happy before but I am starting to see my hard work showing. I think Sono Bello is more for a contour not significant results. My opinion though. But after spending all this money I am willing to try everything I need to make sure I didn’t waste my money. Lbvs

Unfortunately, I did waste my money...But, I had a consultation from another surgeon and was told that Sono Bello did not take out enough fat and that’s why I look the same no matter what I did I was not going to look any better.

Gotcha! Hate you went through all the pain from recovery and money

That’s so unfortunate. Now I can say that I am was not completely happy with all the results. I wasn’t told about visceral fat until after I had questions about not seeing enough results. My issue with them was had they told me everything in the beginning I could have made a decision to proceed or get a tummy tuck. My right side that was contoured looks beautiful but the left side doesn’t. I’ve been exercising and make a conscious decision to eat healthy since spending my money. In hopes of seeing exactly what it is that I expected to see in the beginning. I’m really sorry to hear about your experience though
