Sono Bello - King of Prussia/Philadephia

Three months ago, I had my waist,abs,hips and inner thighs area done with the Laser-Enhanced Liposuction Procedure. I was impressed with Sonobello's staff and Dr. Talaie. Everyone was professional. They explained all procedures and you actually feel like you are family there. I felt so relaxed during the procedure and post-surgery,I was given a support girdle,medications,dressing change pads ,etc. Dr. Talaie called me to see how I'm feeling within 24 hrs. I was up and around in 3 days, and back to work in 4-5 days. I've received helpful post-surgical instructions via my email from Sonobello,every week. Its been 3 months now, and after following their recommendations to the letter, I feel sexy and confidant again,since having 2 kids via c-section. My husband,family and friends have given me endless compliments! I actually can wear a bikini this summer, the first in over 16 years! I actually don't mind trying on clothes for the first time in 16 years,also. Thankyou Sonobello, Dr.Talaie,Jackie,Rene and all your staff for a wonderful experience. more

I cannot fully express how pleased I am with my experience at Sono Bello. The staff is outstanding, and the doctor who did my surgery was extremely professional, yet personable. I am so pleased with my results. I highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone considering liposuction. more

To My new extended family... Sono Bello. Thank you so much for everything. I am now day 4 post-op for upper/lower abdomen, arms and flanks. I can not say enough about how great I was treated at Sono bello. From the day of my consultation being greeted with warmth and a great smile by Rene at the front desk.. I returned for my pre-op appointment and was met by my nurse, Julie, who was so pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Valenzuela explained the procedure to me and provided me with realistic expected outcomes. The day of my procedure, my dad drove me and decided to wait. He was escorted to a very comfortable private waiting area (he didn't want to leave :) ) . He told me later that everyone was very hospitable. Nurse Julie and Dr. Valenzuela were there again and went over the process of the procedure again and made sure that I was completely informed and comfortable.I felt like all my questions were answered before I could even ask them. I was taken into the operating room and greeted by my O.R. nurse Suzette, who was truly a Godsend. She made sure I was comfortable , held my hand and told me stories :) Dr. Valenzuela ( absolutely love this man) kept me informed throughout the procedure and was appropriately comical. If I ever have any more work done, I would not consider going anywhere other than Sono Bello! I have received follow up phone calls from both the nurses and Dr. V. PLUS follow up emails to remind me of do's and don'ts! more

From the moment I walked into the free consultation to the day I had my surgery, Sono Bello nurses, Dr.'s and help staff demonstrated above and beyond customer service. My husband and I went to the consultation together and they answered any questions I had. I was very comfortable asking questions about procedures, credentials and costs without feeling judged. Within an hour, my decision was made to have my upper and lower abdomin, waist (love handles :) and inner thighs. For all 4 sections, the cost was $4996 no hidden costs. I called many times before surgery to ask questions that came up and every time was treated with respect and was getting more and more excited. On the day of surgery, I felt like I was with friends. The nurse held my hand because I tend to get a little shakey and talked to me the whole time. I got to watch the fat get sucked out! For some that may seem disgusting but for me it was awesome! They had put me on pain meds prior to surgery and I had taken arnicare 2 days earlier to help with the brusing (mild) and swelling to come. I left afterwards with antibiotics, arnicare and instructions which were clearly explained on the phone previously and then the day of. I am currently 5 weeks post op. Many parts look considerally better. My upper abdomin still isn't quite where I hope it will get to but they told me I will have about 65% of my results at 8 weeks so I am still hopeful. However, seeing how I fit clothes with no love handles is one of the best feelings in the world! The day after surgery I was out of commission because of the pain meds but I was able to function ok by day 2 without people knowing. I was in discomfort for about a week and could not comfortably hold my child for about 2 weeks. I took advil for a week but nothing stronger and was fine. Yes, I could hold him day 2 but comfortably it took a while. I didn't really lose weight in the process but my shape has changed significantly. I started out in surgery about 128 but had lost about 65 pounds over 10 years ago so I wanted to have the body I always wished for. Things I wish I knew. . .bruising on my thighs took 2-3 weeks to dissapear and became worse a few days after the surgery. Buy a good compression garment and wear it as much as possible for at least the first month (the one they give you is only good for a few days), it really does make a difference and be patient but it's definitely worth it. Thanks Sono Bello! more

I recently had work done at Sono Bello in my abdominal area. I had so much belly fat and I was told that I had to get two procedures. The reason for 2 procedures was so that the doctor can get the most fat from my stomach. I was so impressed from the first procedure because there is so much fat removed from my upper and lower abdominal area. I can't wait to go back to get my waist done! Before I got my surgery I received emails what to do and what not to do before my surgery. And when I got there to get my surgery done the nurse explained everything about the procedure as to what the doctor will be doing. The entire staff makes you feel right at home and so comfortable the staff there is so caring and very helpful. I would most definitely recommend Sono Bello to everyone that needs or wants a change in their life! I forgot to mention how quick and easy the surgery took place! I was back to work then 3 days! more

If this is something you are thinking about, please do yourself a favor and do the research before you go, view all the risks and benefits. I did my research and then I met with the staff and the doctor before deciding. They made sure I understood this is not a cure all and that I would have to eat right and exercise My procedure was March 30th. I was extremely sore and stiff for 3 days afterwards. The staff outlined everything for me and I followed their exact instructions and 5 weeks later I have lost 20 pounds, I am eating better, working out and I make sure to use collagen lotion on my skin and I look and feel great. I have 20 more pounds to lose to reach my goal weight and thanks to them I know I can do it. I would do it all over again. more
