My journey began in February, 2024 with their AbEX procedure. At my one week postop, I pointed out a large "dip" on my right hip. With every appointment thereafter, I talked about it and they made a note of it. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the deformity consistently. At my six months appointment, I was disappointed that I could not address my concerns With the doctor like I thought I was going to get to do. I had to wait another month. When I expressed my disappointment, Dr. Tsu told me it was my fault for not getting my hips done! You can imagine how angry and frustrated I was with that answer! To add insult to injury, I complained to the office manager and she accused me of raising my voice to her, as if that's all she heard! I did not raise my voice, but I was definitely tearful and angry and did not feel heard. I was also told that it would cost me about $2400 additionally to fix the problem that they created! I asked her if there was an arbitration process and she gave me the information and I never went back. I ended up scheduling an appointment with the Ontario office who fixed the problem without cost to me! I am still recommending Sono Bello, just not the Beverly Hills office. read more

The only good experience I had through this whole ordeal is how nice and respectful the staff is I originally got my consultation in Woodland Hills but had my procedure done in Beverly Hills , because of how long I waited to finally to get anytime of work done I was eagered to get it done after 2 kids and 2 years of weight lifting and losing weight I ultimately was getting desperate with the inspiring and unrealistic expectations I was sold I went it thinking taking this leap of faith would help me in my body image I have a pretty small frame long story short I'm not The only one in the same boat it look the same circumference just less sagging skin replaced with a long scar after stating my concerns even asking for additional areas to be done I was rest assured it would come out nice I know I'm not walking into a plastic surgeon to come out like Kim Kardashin but there's still a lot left of loose skin even tho I did a abex which is a mini tummy tuck and lipo if anything I look like I'm sucking in my stomach I thought because of the swelling I had a odd shape but even after 3 months my stomach to ab area looks like a pear like I truely think this is only ment for individuals who have very minimal skin removal needed , after all the investment made including lympaphtic massages I can truly see why people go out of the country for there's procedure the last time I even saw my doctor who did my procedure was when she did the surgery after that u don't even get to question there work u go through the nurse vs having a inclusive talk with the Dr . Never even got to see the Drs profile or prior clients that were content with their work along alll that , my belly button looks like a slit line no shape completely unnatural . Do ur research and get second opinions of this is the route u wanna go to a half ass procedure with a hefty price tag read more

Really didn't like my experience at this facility. Was expecting something so much better! I went with my mom for a consultation and let's just say we didn't even meet with a surgeon/doctor. Instead, we met with one lady who with no medical knowledge takes one look and says "yeah I recommend a tummy tuck" and goes on to give the pricing. Im sorry but what happened to a real surgeon/doctor seeing the patient and then being the one to with medical knowledge recommend a treatment plan There are so many better and more professional options in the valley than this place! It's a joke read more

I've been planning to better myself and I'm glad I was able to find that support with Sono Bello. I booked an appointment online and boom! I was in the office with Jennifer from Sono Bello going over areas for improvement and finding out what was best for me. The consultation was extremely easy and very forward with expectations right off the bat. Jennifer answered my questions professionally! Definitely put me at ease knowing I have someone dedicated in helping me with this process. Thank you Jennifer DeCastro for the amazing support! Looking forward to my surgery! read more

Sono Bello - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I feel that I received the best care and advice in making my decision. I was very happy with how the manager handled a small issue, and took care of everything very quickly. I recommend this location for their professional and respectful and responsible way of working with clients. read more

My experience at sono bello was amazing. Everything from the attention at the front to my consultation to the actual procedure made for a seamless process. I highly recommend looking into sono bello!! My results are more than I could have ever expected! read more

My experience with the staff and Dr. Stafford was excellent! I went in for a Chest EX and lower abdomen minor lipo. I had the same procedure done twice elsewhere, and the doctor left me uneven and did not do the chest EX correctly. I decided to visit Sono Bello Beverly Hills and I am glad I made that choice. The experience from pre-op, to the operation was night and day. The operation went smoothly, I felt absolutely nothing and the doctor took her time and was very detailed. I highly recommend Dr. Stafford, the nursing staff was also very patient and caring. read more

The staff at Sono Bello was warm, supportive and very clear at addressing any concerns that I had. They offer the right procedure for any desired need. Thanks read more

I was supposed to come a few months ago. And they cancelled me. It's 11:30a I was 5 minutes away today for a 12p after driving 45 minutes in traffic and they said I would have to wait an additional hour to be seen as they were running behind. I am taking this as sign I don't need to waste my time or money. I have asked not to call or text!! So hopefully they are reading this and will now remove me from future texts!!!!!! read more

The doctor didn't recommend laser surgery for me. So I was due a refund. It's been two months and I haven't received my refund. They keep telling me it has been approved and is in the process. For some reason they have a problem returning my money. Don't do business with this company. I'm really disappointed with this business. read more

They are unresponsive, I have been waiting for a compression garment for 3 and a half weeks. I called the receptionist and they said it's on its way twice. Surgery went well but the follow up is ridiculous. The whole nursing staff quit. I had an allergic reaction to either my antibiotics or the pain meds..I feel it took too long to change my prescription. They did not change my pain medicine so I went without. Pick a place that cares about the patients not the money. read more

Hello everyone please understand that this is A review post laser Lilo procedure that was performed over 3 months ago. I am a professional publicist in the fashion industry so this review is honest and true I have always fought my double/triple chin/neck so of course I wanted to get this procedure done so I went on for a consultation with a "SALES" rep not a doctor for one then I was supposingly given all these discounts with 2 free venue laser treatments which btw they never gave me. I was going to change my mind the day of because the wait in the waiting room was always messy and long NOT to mention other staff members attitude were just so cares Salesman like - I was offered an additional $600 discount which I was never given. They ran care credit as soon as I walked in the door charging me an amount that was different than discussed. Procedure was fine from the nurse to the doctor however when it comes to follow ups don't even bother, they won't call you to come in for your follow ups especially if you notice something wrong . Score 1-10 Doctor - 7 Nurse - 10 Sales person 6 Pain - 4 Procedure - 6 After care - 4 Results 6 My results are good but not great for what I paid for meaning I will Have to go see a specialist again to have the procedure fixed!!! My neck and work they did is Crooked and now my face looks in even. They attempted to make me a jawline and define my neck area and although yes they sucked fat out , it's not proportioned Would I recommend this place? NO I suggest do more research and go elsewhere where they won't ruin your face. I thank god that I'm able to fake my Pictures and pose a certain way like always stretching my neck out so people can see the in even dimensions. A simple $3800 job has now become a $8000-$10,000 bill and will have to go through another healing process This post is honest and nothing personal, it's obvious that I'm not the only one who feels this way as others have negative things to say as well read more

See all

Not what we expected ... All three of us in our family were disappointed with what was promised and what the outcome was ... Pure commercial for selling and no deliverance / huge waste of money and time ... parking was not a friendly factor either. I would reroute and pick a different spot and NOT this one. read more

I made an appointment with their Woodland Hills branch after seeing TV commercial regarding freezing fat procedure, which I was interested in. A few hours prior to that appointment I received a text regarding liposuction procedure and I reply that I'm not interested in liposuction but interested in coolsculpting. Immediately, I got a call from Jennifer who told me that they do not do cold sculpting because it doesn't work on their patients. Looks like false advertising. They are trying to lure people to their place promising a free consultation and advanced fat removal methods, but at the end, a liposuction surgery will be offered. I'm glad I found that before the appointment, which I promptly canceled. Waste of time. read more

I wish I could recommend this business. I spent quite a bit of money with little, if any, results. I had such high hopes how much told the major results would be seen about the six-month mark, and it's just not the case. I feel like I wasted thousands of dollars And time, and energy. I am now in debt, paying off thousands of dollars for something that did not work at all. read more

Was the worst experience in my life, I realized a liposuction with a mini tummy tuck. They charged me $13,000.00 with no anesthesia. Just give me Xanax . After 18 months I noticed the doctor left one side bigger the other. Just the staff is nice at least. They want just your money!! read more

Sono Bello Beverly Hills is a A+ facility, Dr Hsu the LVN that assisted him during my procedure did a excellent job of making me feel comfortable and included me step by step. For some reason I didn't fall asleep during the procedure but I felt no discomfort, it actually tickled in some places. From the beginning consultation with Christina, dealing with the staff Receptionest and Dr Hsu I was pleased with my decision to get my work done at Sono Bello Beverly Hills. read more

I wasn't even able to consult with the doctor himself. The patient care consultant named Christina took a picture of my under chin and sent the photo to the doctors and told me Lipo would cost me 2000 then changed her mind and said it was actually 3000 because she's giving me a discount and claimed it was expensive because they are located in Beverly Hills. For that price I could do my whole face. Don't waste your time. read more

WARNING! Sono Bello WILL NOT (and I suspect CANNOT) EVER USE ANESTHESIA. They give "relaxing drugs" and a local. I balked during the pre-op meeting upon learning this, the surgeon said in his own BH office he used anesthesia but due to his high overhead that would be beyond my means. I made the mistake of joking "Fine, we'll try it your way, I'll either end up with a body I can live with or I can go be with Doreen (late partner), either way my life will be better than it is." One of the nurses mistook this to mean I was suicidal, and called cops, fire & paramedics. No matter how many times & ways I told them I wouldn't do that, they cornered me, piled on top of me, nearly squeezed the breath outta me & almost dislocated my left arm yanking it out from under me. With all their weight on top of me I couldn't free my arm or manage to tell them what was wrong. I croaked in panic "Help! Can't breathe .." to a nurse who just stood there. Don't trust these people any farther than you can throw them. Oh, and I think it's very telling that after talking with the psychiatrist at Cedars, a 72 hour suicide hold became a 15 minute one! read more

Bad service, the consultants treat you as a number once they get you to spend your money. Horrible communication.

Had my procedure, BS results.. Given expectations by a non medical sales person.. overall not worth the $6,700.. Instead i recommend everyone check this place out Elite Body Sculpture in Beverly Hills. incredible results, no BS, great staff! read more

Huge waste of time. Inconsiderate and lacking professionalism. Waited almost an hour for consultation appointment because they overbook!! They left me too much time to read their negative reviews on Yelp, and there are many. An hour wait is unacceptable. Care more (by far) about making money than providing treatment, thus overbooking. If they do this for a consultation, how will they handle actual treatment appointments .. Poor first impression. read more

Well I did a review elsewhere after my first visit w Lauren, to get pricing and set up a date and that went well, I felt that this was going to be a great experience . I previously went to LA Lipo and wasn't happy w results like I thought I would be, but after this whole experience I applaud LA Lipo for their care and service. Lets start at pre-op appt at Sono Bello Beverly Hills, the "nurse" asked if I was on any meds, I stated Omeprazole , she asked for what and I responded w , heartburn. She then asked if I was on any other heart meds. Obviously I said " heartburn is an esophageal issue not the actual heart. I then saw the doctor and that went fine. Before I left I asked the nurse if I should plan on getting lymphatic massages after and she said no, I thought that was weird but ok. Come to surgery day and I am getting ready to go in and the girls in the hallway sounded like they worked in a retail store, cackling and talking loud it was just not a professional environment . I had the surgery on a Wed and received a call from them Friday asking how I was, later that day I had a slight fever and elevated heart rate, I thought maybe a clot, or infection so I called them. No was available to talk at that moment ( I understood that) and that someone would call back, well they didn't and I went to ER, as I got to ER I called Sono Bella letting them know I was at the ER and the gal said " ok thanks for letting us know " and click. My son then called them and he was told the doctor would call him back , never happened. Finally on Tues 4 days after I went to ER I get a text saying the have been trying to get a hold of me. Really?? Well you just texted and now you're actually calling me and I answered. My phone was fine, I use it for work. To literally in this day and age say you tried to get in touch is ridiculous. You can call, text even email. That was when I was literally like WOW. I went to the 1 week check up that Friday as I wanted my 2nd garment and I thought I would see the doctor that maybe he would want to check his work and see if it all looked ok, but I say the heartburn girl. She asked me how old I was?!! First off I have been here 3 times and you are looking at my chart. She asked if I had questions and I did but I wasn't about to ask her especially after she told me to massage the areas where there were lumps, I reminded her she previously told me that massages were not necessary. When I went to LA Lipo I saw the doctor at both post op, week 1 and 3. They were professional and the staff was knowledgeable. So if you are looking to have anything done I say go to LA Lipo in Encino. The experience w Sono Bello was not cool. read more

Don't waste your time! They make you feel (including the ads on tv) that in one session only, you will reduce your waistline tremendously. NOT TRUE. What they don't tell you is that according to Californa they are limited to a certain amount of fat for removal. Then they will entice you to come back for a discounted procedure. It was an absolutely waste of money to deal with these people. By the way, you will be pumped full of drugs for this procedure. There is no anesthesia here. Be prepared to go through a very weird ride. read more

I went in for consultation and the sales rep was very nice and very understanding. This procedure is something I have been wanting to do for some time now and I am finally at a point where I felt ready not only physically but mentally. When I showed up for pre-op I was happy and I was positive about everything. After sitting with the doctor right away I was no longer feeling the same way. The Dr. didn't ask me question, looked irritated and in a bad mood. He began by belittling me and told me most doctors would refuse to operate me because of my weight, Now I know I am over weight, but I also know how hard I have been working out for the last 3 years going to the gym and exercising 4 days out of the week, meal prepping, and just trying to stay healthy and consistent. And I get that maybe he sees this often and right away categorized me as a person trying to get a quick fix. He continued to tell me he can not make any miracles and if I want change I need to make changes in my eating habits and my exercise because he didn't believe I work out as often as I stated. He continued to huff and puff as he examined every inch of my body in disgust. Not once did he ask what I wanted to do, what my goals are or anything. Once again I know I am over weight but I am willing to work on my body and make changes, the only think I wanted was for my overhang to be reduced to relieve the pain I feel in my lower back and allow me to live a healthier lifestyle and continue my fitness journey. After our consultation my cost of the surgery went up because there was more stuff added which I understand, it happens. I paid those additional charges. The night before my operation My fiancé, and driver tested positive for covid, I was already feeling flu like symptoms but did not test positive yet. I called and left a message early in the morning, i called back because at that point i wanted them to be aware of the situation I was having. Once they opened and I finally got thru they still insisted I go. I told them I would not be able to go as I didn't have a driver and I was already feeling ill. They then cancelled my appointment. a few weeks later I get a call from a different rep and they basically told me I am not allowed a refund as I cancelled last minute and if I choose to re-schedule I will pay an additional 10%. First off I cancelled for my own health reasons and also trying not to expose anyone else, second of all adding more money on top of more money for this surgery. How is this type of service even justifiable. I am taking this as a sign that this is not for me because 1 I am not comfortable with the person that will be my doctor for the procedure and 2 they way they want to charge for something out of my control is upsetting. Since early May I have not heard back from anyone. I am frustrated, but most of all disappointed in the service or lack there of. read more

I had my lipo in October I had my belly fat and arms and back rolls done, at my pre op the doctor said he wasn't going to make me look skinny and he wasn't going to be able to take the marshmallow gooey stuff. I laughed because I thought he was just trying to be funny. I even told him just make me look better. The procedure was very painful I felt a lot of the pain when sucking the fat out, I still remember telling the doctor it hurts. Post op the only difference I've seen it was the fact that they cut my excess skin but I'm truly not satisfied with the results I paid 15k and my belly doesn't look any better. I've followed a strict diet 1200 calories per day which I can't always meet. I usually only eat about 1000 calories. I work out every day for at least 30 min Just wish I would of paid less for the results I got. read more

I was seen over at the Woodlans Hills office, staff was friendly and welcoming. I was seen for my app. By Britney she was very professional, thorough, and very attentively answered every question i had. I give my overal experience 5 stars. read more

I absolutely LOVED my consult with Emilia Friday 6-8-18!!! Emilia is kind, caring and non-judgmental! Emilia took her time with me to make me feel comfortable by answering all my questions! She even brought in one of the nurses too (wish I new her name - I forgot sorry) who was very nice and explained in detail what I needed to do in regards to my medications that I am currently taking!! This can be stressful, confusing, expensive and well just scary!!! But Emilia and the nurse I spoke with were extremely informative and helpful!!! I look forward to the outcome!!! Thanks Ladies!!! Angelique S. read more

Downgrading this to one star. It's been over 4 yrs since I wrote this review and this place has permanently made me ashamed of my body. I don't know why I was so kind as to originally give it 2 stars. Every time I see an ad for them I see red and it makes me sick. read more

Well hello. It's been 7 months since my procedure. I'm very disappointed st the results. I expressed my feelings to the manager and nurses when I was there for my 3 month visit. I was told it would take 7 months before swelling would go down. Really? I paid for upper/lower abdomen, inner thighs, bra rolls and the fat that hangs over the top/sides of the bra for $10,000. All procedures were done except the bra fat in front(near the arm pit). Needless to say, the only area that I've noticed some difference is my lower abdomen. There is indentations on my inner thighs and some deformities around my navel. The bra rolls? Still there. I'm so dissatisfied and hurt that I spent my savings $10,000 for nothing. I have an appointment with the doctor on Friday to go over all of this with him. I only pray for some answers and not the run around. read more

Fist and foremost I will start off by stating that I'm not a fan of Yelp, I've never reviewed a business whether it's been a good or bad experience. I began researching "non invasive" liposuction for quite some time. I didn't want the down time of of actual liposuction..... knowing what I know now I should've just done it. I'm Latina F38 years old, 5'3 132lbs when i had my "consultation" at the Pasadena office with Nicole 11/2021(she IS NOT a doctor) this was not the surgery center. I was starting my "lady time" feeling bloated and insecure. let me clarify, I'm not over weight. I've been an athlete for more than half of my life. First joining the gym when I was 16 (Bally's in Downtown LA) then went off to do 5 Marathons,8 triathlons an 1 Ironman, competed in a bikini competition where I placed 2nd And I consistently go to the gym. I know what living a healthy lifestyle consists of. my first meeting with Nicole was pleasant (I mean they want your money, so why wouldn't it be?!?) I stated to her that I was getting married in 7 months and I had a few troubled areas that I was interested in targeting. With age, fat pockets settle and they're just hard to get rid of. Feeling bloated and uncomfortable she practically made me undress and touched my troubled areas which was fine but gosh did I feel gross. she proceeded to say we can target upper and lower abs as well as the hip area for the lovely price of $8k being that I had visited another location in Beverly Hills (Elite Squlpt) that wanted $17k this sounded a bit more reasonable. I mentioned to her that I wanted to go to Squlpt in Thousand Oaks first for a consultation at their location. I could see that she didn't like that, she offered me a procedure date that was within a week or two and then said it was all se had (sure..wink wink) I told her I needed to think about it and that's when the hounding started. I received multiple text asking for payment in order to hold the "surgery" date. Finally I gave them my card info, since my bank has a daily limit that kept asking for me to call my bank to increase in order for them to take full payment. I should've taken that as a sign (ugh!) I'll say that once payment was made, I never heard from her. Fast forward to finally seeing an actual doctor, for pre op. i don't even remember his name TBH. He took pics, weighed me, looked at my troubled areas and said ok. That's pretty much it. Day of surgery at the Beverly Hills location, I got in at 6am. I was escorted by a nurse to a room where I undressesed and was given a gown, my body was marked by the doctor, the nurse gave me pills and I walked into the surgery room. As I started to feel the effects of the pills, The doctor rubbed a liquid all over the areas where I was marked. I felt a lot of tugging and then I don't really remember much after that. To be honest, I was fine the day of, a bit loopy but otherwise ok. They wrapped a waist trainer on me with pads for the leakage. The following day was a bit worse in regards to soreness. I leaked for about 3or 4 days. If you don't workout, if you don't know what true soreness is I would highly suggest you CAN NOT return to work the following day as they lead you to believe.I know what soreness is and this was a bit more than I'd like to admit. Especially if you're heavier and they remove more fat than they did to me. I followed all of their recommendations, I wore the faja, I kept moving since I hate being a couch potato. i did the massages...... that's where I realized that I wasted $8k The massage therapists said to me, that I didn't have any residual fluid, and that I should ask for my medical records. I was trying to be patient but To be very honest I'm very dissatisfied with the lack of results. I have 6 disgusting scars that ARE bigger than a fingernail, they took out 1200 milliliters which equal 2 freaking pounds. I wish I could say all 2lbs were fat......but no! That includes the liquid that was put into my body. I get my records in a couple of weeks and then I'll see the exact amount of fat that was removed. Looking back, I would do actual liposuction. You end up with the exact same scars and you get better results. Heck, I should've gone to Mexico for the same price and received a hotel room and round the clock care. Please please shop around, don't fall for the "non invasive" "go back to work" nonsense. Unless you cant handle the anesthesia of course. I know we're all different, this was my experience and I regret it 100% I wasted $8k, I hate looking at my body and I hate myself for this. read more

I went by about 3 years ago for a consultation. After reading all these reviews, I am glad I never went in. They made me wait for about one hour, which to me is unacceptable. Nobody showed any care or concern. I decided to leave because I didn't want to waste my time, but nobody even came to the front desk for me to let them know that I was leaving. Nobody ever called me back. The worst customer service! I would never have any procedure done with them. read more

I have struggled all my life with my shape, hadn't had a waist since my 20s no matter how much I exercised. I now have an hourglass figure. Absolutely thrilled! Love the entire staff and my doc was awesome. It's so worth it read more

I'm notoriously generous when rating and reviewing others (so long as no harm will result upon potential customers). I took half of my day off to get a consultation today. Laura did her best to walk me through it, but the procedure itself is inherently lacking. Probably most alarming is their refusal to commit to any verifiable results; all is subjective. To make matters worse, you are expected to pay more than $7000 (at least in the case of tommy area for men). I was willing to pay that amount and more, provided they commit to 50% of their assured outcome. "We assure you that you will lose anywhere between %50 to 70% of your targeted area," I was repeatedly told. However, when asked to commit to a verifiable 50% (e.g., this is how much fat you have and we guarantee a 50% removal), they said we can't! read more

Haven't had my procedure done yet, but so far definitely not happy with how things are run. Wish that things were made more clear during booking. You only get to speak with a sales consultant, who is not a doctor, then once you pay for your procedure you meet the doctor. I didn't think this was a big deal, until I met I met with the doctor after already paying in full only to have him tell me he recommends more lipo areas than what the consultant and I agreed upon. Which obviously means more money. So when I reached out to my consultant and let her know that I was pretty frustrated and asked about getting money back minus a deposit I was told that the entire procedure is non refundable. So needless to say, I'm having the procedure performed this week. Hopefully the procedure goes better than all of these initial interactions. I will mention that the girls at the front desk, and the nurse and doctor were all very nice. I just feel like the way things are done is very shady. If you are thinking about getting a procedure done please make sure you see an actual doctor before making decisions and certainly before paying. I consulted with 2 other companies and in hindsight I definitely feel I should have chosen one of the other two. Depending on how things go, I will update my review post procedure. read more

I wish I could give these people zero star, got an appointment and when I went to their Woodland Hills office I found myself in a small room with couple of rude sales people calling themselves consultant with no medical experience or training, there was no doctors or anyone with medical degree.... they gave me bunch of paperwork to fill, without giving me any information.... I decided to leave their office without giving them my info. Don't waist your time going there, specially to their Woodland Hills office. read more

the biggest waste of money ever!!! i did the surgery few years ago , from day one and up to now i have dents my legs . i would not recommend sono bello to no one read more

Sooooo excited to know about this place for my skincare!!!! I don't want anything invasive but I always want to maintain my youthful skin so I ended up coming in for a consultation and took some session for the Venus collagen boosting treatment and it IS AMAZING. Ashley helped me decide what was right for me and within my budget and Sarah is an angel in disguise as the office boss lady!!! I LOOK FORWARD to EVERY VISIT because the vibes there are PHENOMENAL... I highly recommend sonobello in Beverly Hills for the services, the affordability, the INTEGRITY and the AWESOME STAFF! Jennifer is my favorite nurse btw!!!! read more

I started to see results in less than a week. Everyone I came across was very comfortable to speak with. Starting with Kayla my consultant in Woodland Hills. Then meeting with Dr. Hsu and his assistant Meagan. I knew that I was making the right decision. Seriously can't wait till the final masterpiece. I recommend sonno Bello to everyone that needs that boost in your life your missing. Thank u sonno Bello. read more

Very nice location, friendly staff. I will be returning when I decide to proceed. Glad I took the time to visit, nice people.
