Sono Bello Body Contour Center - Sandy

has now been a year since my procedure. I did the laser lipo on my lower and upper abs as well as my sides love handles and back fat. Intentionally I did not want to do all of those areas. The consultant Amy made me feel like I needed to. The staff kind of makes you feel like a number get you in and out and on to the next one. When I went in for my 3 month post op they told me the swelling was still subsiding and I will see my final results in another 3 months. I paid $4, 500 for them to remove ""some"" fat. When I came for my 6 month post op I was down 30lbs all on my own from my initial weight not 1 lb from the procedure it actually makes you gain weight. I And I noticed lumps and bumps all over my stomach. I expressed my concerns about how much fat was left still and the bumps I had after me losing more weight all they had to say was it looks better then it did before and we warned you of all the risks. Regular liposuction is $1, 300 + anesthesia for the entire mid section not lower upper abs etc and All the fat is removed. I have done both and liposuction is definitely the better and cheaper option. Sonobello is definitely not all is cracked up to be and the staff are complete snobs. And it honestly amazes me the amount of ""positive"" feedback they get. The amount of happy people out ways the unhappy and that is just not realistic. Unhappy customers are always the first to complain i can guarantee 85% of the reviews were made by a Sonobello team member or family/friend. Think about a bad experience you had at a restaurant, grocery store or something like that what are the chances of you commenting on that experience vs. a positive experience. If you put a negative comment up the will ask you to remove it personally how professional is that? \r more

I just have to tell those of you who are contemplating having the TriSculpt procedure that I am so glad that I followed through and had it done. My only regret is that I wish I would have had it done a lot sooner. \r \r I have had saddle bags or as I call them...""side cars""... ever since I first starting having children, 30 years ago. I would lose weight and the ""side cars"" would get smaller but would not go away then I would slowly gain and weight back again. My friend had gone in to Sono Bello and had several areas done and I really was impressed with the outcome so I had planned to lose all my extra weight and then go to have my saddle bags ""deflated""... Well, then I decided that I should just get the procedure and stop putting it off till I lose the rest of the weight. Why put it off?\r \r The staff was very discreet and made me feel at ease. Dr. Avila was very professional yet was personable. He told me what results I could expect and reviewed my medical history to be sure that all was well. Amy, the consultant was very helpful and made me feel very good about my decision. \r \r My procedure was relatively pain free and I had minimal soreness afterwards. I am at week three and am fitting into pants that I had only dreamed about wearing before. I am just one size smaller so far but I look so much better in those pants that I smile when I look in the mirror instead of avoid the mirror all together. \r \r My hubby loves my new shape and I have had many compliments about my new body. My friends think that I have only lost weight... I share my secret with many of them and some are planning on making the trip to Sandy as well. I tell them not to wait as long as I did. The cost is very doable the pain is minimal to non existent and the result is SO worth it. \r \r Now I am taking my own advice and planning to have my chin done in the next month or so. Do yourself a favor and call Amy, soon. \r more

I had such a wonderful experience with Sono Bello. My consultant, Amy and the entire staff, were so genuine and made me feel comfortable in a situation I was normally so uncomfortable about. I had the TriSculpt procedure done on my entire midsection and it has truly been a life changer! \r \r I lost 35lbs prior to having this done with very little change to the fat layer around my midsection. I wasn't able to fully celebrate my hard work because I was very self-conscious about my problem area. I went to the Caribbean 4 weeks after my TriSculpt procedure and it was the first time in my life that I actually felt comfortable and confident in a bathing suit! I was also able to complete a very physically demanding zip line course which I don't think I would have been able to do prior. I have now lost nearly 50lbs and I'm really looking forward to summer and experiencing all of the things I have avoided for so many years. \r \r If I had to do things over, I would still have the TriSculpt done. I feel great both physically and mentally and have experienced little to no excess skin after the procedure. The scars are very minimal and I will definitely consider having this done on additional areas in the future. more

It is not possible to be more pleased with Sono Bello!! I am thrilled with the results and I am only two weeks out from TriSculpt. The staff was amazing and made me feel 100% comfortable throughout the entire process. I workout and eat right and never got the results I wanted and now I finally have the flat stomach I have never ever had!!! My only regret is having waited so long to have this done. more

I am so pleased with all of the procedures that I had done at Sonobello... and so is my husband! Dr. Avila and his staff helped me decide what areas to have sculpted with the laser lipo/tri sculpt processes, so that I got the silhouette I was hoping for. It is wonderful to have my slimmer, more youthful body back! The biggest compliment I received was when my 15 yr.old daughter asked if she could raid MY closet! You won't regret it! more

I went to Sone Bello to have my abs done. I had recently had them treated at a different facility. The other facility had left my abs looking lumpy and uneven. I was extremely nervous to give this procedure another try!! However I could not have been happier with the results from Sono Bello. I have nice smooth,even, flat abs. I was so pleased with my results, I am getting ready to have another area treated!!! more

I first had my upper, lower abs, and waist done. It was amazing!!! I have not looked this good maybe ever!! In fact, I loved it so much I went back a few months later and had my legs, knees, and banana roll done. Again, amazing!!! Dr. Avila is so good, the procedure is so simple, the price was great, financing was excellent, and my recovery time was very minimal. I would recommend Sonobello to everyone! People tell me all the time how amazing I look and I proudly tell them- Sonobello!!! more

My experience at Sonobello was amazing. I was so impressed by all the staff and my doctor that did the procedure. I love the emails I get weekly letting me know what to expect, that has been very helpful knowing what to expect each week. The best and most of all I love the results so far that I have seen and am totally amazed. I it so nice to wear my clothes now that I used to shy away from wearing cause you could see bulges. Now I can wear those clothes and feel confident how I look. And I am not wanting to buy the bigger sizes that cover my body like a garbage sack! Thank you Sonobello, for helping me feel young again. more

I have been a client of Sono bello several times during the past 6 months and can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with my results! I have had my chin, neck and jowel area done, also my abdomen, waist, hips, upper/lower back. I have always excercised and try to eat a healthy diet but at 47, age and my changing hormones were starting to take their toll. \r My neck area which I used to call my turkey gobbler is now so smooth! I am 6 months out on the neck area. My final results are amazing! (Took 10 years off easily :)\r I can wear anything now without having things bulge or hang over. (No muffin top :). Dr. Avila and the entire staff have been kind, helpful, professional and non-judgemental. During the procedure (laser lipo) I felt virtually no pain or discomfort. Just a slight tugging sensation. My recovery was fast and I was up and about that night having had the procedure in the morning each time! I was able to resume my walking routine within a few days post op. The second stage compression garment was absolutely essential when I had my abdominal procedure to minimize discomfort and swelling. I wore the second stage garment for about 2 months although the doctor only recommended 6 weeks. I felt better with it on and wanted to maximize my final results. I took about a week off work to allow for healing time but I'm sure it's different for everybody....\r I would recommend Sono Bello to anyone who is looking to permanently reduce those areas of stubborn fat that don't seem to go away no matter what you do! I love my new smaller body! I am so motivated to stay fit and healthy. I've been able to buy new clothes and workout wear and feel I look great in whatever I wear. Thank you Sono Bello! You have given me new confidence and I love the new me.. more

I had a wonderful experience with Sonobello. The doctor had a good bedside manner. I can already see my results and I only had it done a couple of weeks ago. I'm excited to see my final result!The staff has been very kind and professional. I would recommend Sonobello to any family or friend and I would absolutely do it again! Thanks Sonobello and Dr. Avila! more

I LOVE what has happened to me so far! My confidence has went up so much, my body looks so much better( granted I have a long ways to go still) but this has did such a BIG jump start for me I can't imagine if I didn't do this where I'd be still today. My husband seems to much happier with me and even my kids notice and say ""mommy you look good!"" :) I can keep up with my kids much more and for once in my life I will get to wear shorts and soon tank tops, something I have never gotten to experience. Dr. Christensen has ""CHANGED MY LIFE"" for the best and I couldn't thank him enough!! Was the pain bad for me ohhhh yes, but I am so glad I did this and can't wait for the final results. Thank you SONOBELLO! more

I recently had lipo of the neck and jowls, it worked wonders and i am very pleased. There was hardly any pain only a little\r bruising. \r I had a few little fat pockets on my neck so they did venus freeze. It made my neck look even better. Sonobello is a great place to have your procedures done. They are very friendly and know their stuff. They made me feel very comfortable.\r I feel like a new women, i am 60 years old and have friends ask me what i did. They can't figure it out only that i look\r different.\r Love, Love Sonobello \r \r more

I was a latch-key kid growing up and always came home to an empty house and free-reign of the kitchen. I gained a lot of weight at a young age and dealt with a lot of harassing, and lack of self-confidence. Over the years, I’ve lost a lot of it, so although I no longer look “fat”, I’ve lived with those stubborn fat deposits. At one point, I lost so much weight trying to get rid of them that people said I looked too thin and “gaunt” but, even then, those deposits would not leave. That episode finally convinced me that my lifelong preconception of lipo being the “weak man’s” way out was false – it’s also what convinced me that it was worth the money to try lipo as a last resort. \r \r I can honestly say it has been the best money I’ve ever spent. I’m no longer self-conscious or preoccupied with how I look and I have peace of mind. We've never flinched about investing in necessities like education, cars, and home, but it always been a huge barrier to justify spending money on something “unnecessary” like this. I know money doesn’t buy happiness, but all I can say is that life is just plain better now. In retrospect, this was an expense that was entirely justified – absolutely no regrets and I wish I would have visited sonobello years ago. \r more

Sono Bello has been the best thing I have done for myself. I workout and eat really healthy yet I had areas that I hated about my body. No matter what I did I had these fats pockets that just never seemed to go away. I did my first areas in November and now it is amazing the difference. No more saddle bags that pop out every step I take. Also the staff was amazing. They were so positive and make you want to come back for your check ups, because they are so excited for you to get to where you feel happiest with yourself. I want to thank all the staff that got me started and those who helped me in the room. Thank you Sono Bello Team!!! more

I had my procedure on 3/13/2013. I'm just a week and a half post-procedure and so far I am very excited about the results I'm seeing. I had upper and lower abs, waist, hips, and bra rolls done. Even when I was at my thinnest, I never really had a waist-line that I could see. I now see defintion in that area! \r \r I would recommend to anyone considering body-contouring to have reasonable expectations and plan for a little downtime following the procedure. I went back to work in five days but could have used a few more days recovering at home. Since I had several areas treated, the recovery is taking a little longer than excpected. Within a week, I started feeling like moving around more and that has helped with the tenderness. I feel the second-stage compression garment is essential for comfort and swelling, as well as helping me continue my daily walking routing with more comfort and ease. Slowly I'm working toward more physical activity. I'm finding this to be the key, moving around not sitting around helps me feel better and aids in recovery. \r \r I had fat removed from areas I was never able to take care of with excercise or diet. I would lose the weight where I didn't want it gone, but keep it where I wanted it gone! I feel my body looks more proportionate since the procedure. The contouring my doctor provided looks amazing. \r \r I see this as a new start for me in my life. I'm excited to see the results emerge even more in time. I've already begun pulling out clothes from my closet I thought I would never wear again! Thank you to Dr. Christensen and all the staff at Sono Bello! more

Wonderful Experience! I had researched body contouring for over a year and finally got the nerve to call and get more information. Amy was very easy to work with and I was able to get all of my questions answered and did most of my consult through email and phone which was great because I live a ways away.\r I was very nervous before the procedure and Kari was AMAZING! She made me feel so 'normal' and comfortable. She was very down to earth and even had me laughing during prep. She calmed all my fears and my anxiety turned to excitement. \r The procedure was better than I expected. I was awake and very comfortable the entire time. My pain level was minimal. It has been one week since my procedure and I have already noticed results. I am still swollen but I can easily see my new shape. I was back to work 2 days later and have been walking every day. I am sore but not unbearable. \r I highly recommend SonoBello in Salt Lake. The staff is very professional and easy to work with. My experience exceeded my expectations. Thank you for giving me a new start! more

Finally seeing results!! After years of struggling with diets & exercise and not being able to lose my belly fat & bulges on my hips I decided to schedule a consultation with Sono Bello. My meeting with Amy was very informative and exciting. The entire staff was so comforting and understanding. I am only a few weeks into my recovery and I'm still a little swollen & sore but the entire experience has been amazing and I cannot Thank Dr Christensen & the staff enough. I know I could NOT have gotten these results on my own and I am Forever grateful!! more

Before the surgery I was always down about my weight. I worked out when I could and I was losing weight here and there. My mom had the surgery done and right after you could tell a difference. She looks fantastic. So I decided to get it done. I just went in for my 1 week follow up and looked at the pictures and there is already a big difference. This surgery has already changed my life and I'm so glad I did it. I would highly recommend Sonobello to not only look good but to feel good!\r more

I absolutely loved my experience at SonoBello! The staff is fantastic and always made me feel comfortable. I'm now excited for summer and to be in a swimsuit for once in my life! I can't wait to go back and start my Venus Freeze treatments on my face! Thank you SonoBello team for making me feel better in my own skin! more

Loved the experience! It was easy and the staff is awesome!! The assistants and receptionists are so easy going and knowledgeable! Dr. Christensen made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The procedures were not at all unpleasant and exactly what I was lead to believe. Thanks to Sono Bello, I have a body I haven't been happy with since before I had children. Definitely recommend Sono Bello to anyone!!! more
