Sono Bello with Dr. Dillion - Saint louis
Very nervous about getting smart lipo but it's...
Ready to Loose This Belly
I really need a complete body lift but I will settle for my upper body first. Had a consultation with Sono bello and to do upper, lower and hips was 9k. Yikes!! I am only considering because they will provide financing with 2k down. Is this the average price? Lipo was only 6k in my area, ?

I never saw your review! I don't understand how that happened. According to our cost map, that price is on the very high end compared to others here on RealSelf (who are just a very small percentage of people who have this done, of course.)

Congratulations on making a decision! Just make sure that you communicate with the doctor. Don't feel bad saying that you're in pain, if you end up in pain during the procedure. They can help if they know it, but if you don't say anything, they will assume that everything is okay. I found the meds during the procedure pretty effective, and the pain I felt was very far away and unimportant. But I reacted very strongly to the anti-anxiety medication, since I never take it otherwise, and it worked extremely well on me :D.
Make sure before you go in that you and your doctor are on the same page as far as how aggressive they are going to be (ie. how much fat they are planning to take out.) The main two things I see people concerned about here on RealSelf are that they felt their doctor didn't take out enough fat, or that they are lumpy afterward (the lumps are a normal part of the healing process, usually.) So make sure you've discussed how flat you're expecting to be after all of this.
Good luck! We'll be waiting for your updates :D.
