I went in for liposculpture, and I will say that this is a very detailed process and as a consumer, you must do your homework. I read all the reviews before my appointment so I had plenty of questions to ask. My appointment with Karen Vega was very detailed and she went through every paragraph every line with me. She answered all my questions even after hours. I see reviews of those saying their financing was doubled... so here's my experience with the financing. If you finance enough like 6k or higher, it is split into 2 parts with 2 different loans and 2 different payments. One payment is pulled out directly out of your account and the other you will mail off. She was very clear about this to me. Perhaps the confusion for some people is that these 2 loans are with the same company. (An outside company that sonobello uses) She gave me exact payments for both loans to the penny. When the statements came, thy were exactly what she said. During the pre op appointments, she followed up with me and continued to answer any questions I had. 5 STARS for her. Now the surgery: Very nice nurses and staff, Dr B was absolutely awesome. My nurse was amazing because I will be honest, there are some painful parts ( which Karen also disclosed to me) I'm sure if you have had tattoos or kids, this would be nothing to you. Recovery - NOT BAD AT ALL. I had 3 areas sculpted. Easy recovery. I passed out when I got home. Slept through the night and I went to a bridal shower the next day. Don't get me wrong, I did not go back to work for a few days. and I took all the meds they gave me, but I'm healing just fine. Each week I receive a follow up email that details all the stages of what I should be feeling, what is normal..etc and actual answers questions I did not know I had. I am in week 5 now and the swelling is going down. I am starting to see the results along with others complimenting me. Such a confidence booster! I waited to write this review because I wanted to see longevity in my procedure. I wanted to see the financials that some have issues with, I wanted to see how they follow up with me. Honestly, I would do this again! Happy Customer!!! read more

So...I'd been contemplating having some work done in my midsection to give me that kick start and boost of confidence I haven't had in years due to having 4 amazing kids. I had a very thorough consultation with EV. She was congenial, professional and very knowledgeable of the procedures offered. She explained all of my procedural options and was honest about what would and wouldn't be beneficial to me. I decided to move forward with scheduling a laser lipo procedure for my upper and lower abs and waist. For my pre-op I met with Dr.Bouzaglou who made me feel very comfortable and made sure I knew exactly what to expect before, during and after my procedure. This girl (me) was ready! The day of my procedure Nurse Grace was amazing.... she prepped me with a nice "cocktail" of meds to relax me (as this was a noninvasive procedure done under local anesthesia). I believe my procedure was about 2-3 hours, but it felt like 30 minutes... I was so relaxed I kept falling to sleep. I only remember waking up a few times due to some discomfort, but it was quickly remedied by the gentle and soothing words and facial massage performed by "Amazing Grace" :). I was sent home that same afternoon with a goody bag of meds and creams for post care and Dr. B called me later that evening to check up on me. The first week of recovery was understandably uncomfortable, but bearable. I was back at work 3 days after my procedure. I also received a call the following day from the nursing staff. What I really appreciate are the regular emails informing me of what to expect 24 hrs, 48 hrs, one week and 2 weeks after surgery. A great way to know that what I am feeling is normal. I am 2 1/2 weeks post procedure and although I know full results will take 3-6 months to see, I am VERY happy with what I see today! This girl hasn't seen a definitive waist in a very, very long time! I can happily say I have one now! :) And best of all... I can look down and see my toes! :) Overall, I am very pleased with the level of professionalism by the doctor, the nurses and the very attentive front staff. I highly recommend considering Sono Bello Ontario! read more

Exceptional Experience with Dr. Ghisletta and Nurse Annabelle at Sonobello I recently underwent a medical procedure at Sonobello, and I must say, my experience exceeded all expectations. I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Ghisletta and her remarkable nurse, Annabelle, for their exceptional care and expertise throughout the entire process. From the moment I stepped into Sonobello, Annabelle's warm demeanor and sense of humor put me at ease. Her kindness and jovial nature made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience surprisingly pleasant. Her professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being were evident at every turn, and I cannot thank her enough for her outstanding support. Dr. Ghisletta is, without a doubt, the epitome of excellence in her field. From our initial consultation to the procedure itself, Dr. Ghisletta exhibited a level of skill and proficiency that inspired confidence. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring optimal results were truly remarkable. I felt reassured knowing that I was under the care of such a capable and compassionate surgeon. Moreover, the entire staff at Sonobello demonstrated a dedication to patient care that sets them apart. The supportive environment they fostered undoubtedly contributed to my positive experience. Sonobello should consider themselves fortunate to have such outstanding individuals representing their company. As I continue on my journey to recovery, I am thrilled with the progress of my healing and eagerly anticipate seeing the final, fully healed results. Thanks to the expertise of Dr. Ghisletta and the unwavering support of Nurse Annabelle, I feel confident that I am on the path to achieving the outcome I desire. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ghisletta, Nurse Annabelle, and the entire team at Sonobello to anyone seeking top-notch medical care. Their dedication to excellence and commitment to patient satisfaction are truly commendable, and I am grateful to have had the privilege of being under their care. read more

I had the first of 2 procedures completed today is the first day after surgery. Dr. Maier is my surgeon at the Cincinnati location. He is AMAZING!!! I'm having the Lipo360. Yesterday I had my hips, waist, and backside, and my neck liposuctioned. The procedure was not bad at all. The numbing medicine did not hurt at all. The actual liposuction portion simply felt like an internal massage. Difficult to explain the feeling but it was not painful at all. I was anxious before surgery but the medicine I took prior to surgery made me feel quite at ease. My nurse was Danielle! I cannot thank her enough for being by my side. She is a gift in the nursing field. She made me feel so safe, secure, and comforted. I absolutely loved her and I hope I get to have her again for my 2nd procedure. I could go on and on about how special Danielle is!! As for the pain on day 2, I'm very sore but that's to be expected. I never went in thinking it would be pain free. The soreness is very manageable and not "painful" just really sore. I expect days 3 and 4 to possibly be the worst but I can't really speak to this yet. I'm very much excited about surgery number two which includes upper and lower abdomen and skin removal. I hope this review will assist others in hearing it's not bad (at least for me everybody is different of course) and I would do this again in a heartbeat. I'm at the beginning stage of my weight loss journey, but this is going to provide me with a lot of hope for my future. Thank you Dr. Maier and Danielle at the Cincinnati Sonobello location! read more

I am very disappointed in how Sono Bello is handling or rather not handling my complaint about a huge ripple above my belly button.i noticed it at my first follow up but was told it will go away with swelling.Well it hasn't,when I complained and actually spoke to someone about it in depth my already existing appointment was pushed back 3 weeks.Then on the day of this delayed follow up appt I received a text message about 30 minutes prior to scheduled time that my appointment has been cancelled.no rescheduled time and date and no further phone calls from Sono Bello at all to try to reach me to reschedule.All I wanted was to have them correct this error that was done on their part.bow the office staff and Erin were great.super friendly outgoing.my complaint is,is this how a major company such as Sono Bello handles errors? No phone call to reschedule after addressing this with more than three members of their staff.Im now going to reach out to the medical board to see how I need to handle this because I did not spend that much money to walk around worse off than before I had the procedure done.oh one other thing I also have dark marks up and down my sides as well that I never had prior to this whole ordeal.i wasn't a large person just a lil larger than I would have liked to be but I didn't have not one stretch mark or extra skin or folds or even a muffin top.i now have a ripple and these marks on both of my sides that I'm still not sure if it is deep bruising or scars that will be there permanently thanks to Sono Bello. read more

Where do I begin... Since the moment I walked through the doors at Sono Bello Ontario the Staff was amazing. They are courteous and very customer oriented. My check in was very smooth and timely. If you are looking for an office that makes you feel comfortable and at ease this is definitely the place for you.. My nurse, Julia, knew I was nervous and not comfortable. She sat with me and went over in detail how the process works what doctor will do and assured me I was in good hands. And boy was I. The doctor was detailed with recommendations and his plan for surgery. Surgery day, again it was in a timely manner and I didn't wait at all. I felt like I was the only one in the office being cared for! Surgery was smooth. The pain was minimal at the start and felt ZERO about 10min in. Post Op. my beyond pleasurable experience didn't stop.... My post op appointment, again nearly no wait. The incisions are healing well and I believe it's because the products Sono Bello not only provides you but they recommend to use as well. I've been to a plastic surgeon office and this was by far a better experience, environment, procedure and recovery! **Ask for nurse Julia and I promise, you will end up with the same experience!** read more

I went to Sono Bello because I wanted to get back to feeling good about my body. I had my consultation with Karen but when I met with Dr Bhullet he made me feel like u made the right choice. He explained the process and told me what I could expect. On the day of my procedure he was very concerned about the amount of lidocaine he needed to use. He had a true concern about patient safety. It was agreed that I would make a second appointment to complete all the areas I wanted done. During my second procedure I had disclosed that I had just had some dental work the day before and he again was concerned about the lidocaine I had received for that procedure. Dr Bhuller explained the process and what I could expect during the procedure and after both positive and negative. It has been 10 weeks since my first procedure and I am very happy with the results. I just had my second procedure and look forward to seeing those results once the swelling goes down. I highly recommend Dr. Bhuller. read more

Had my 3 month appointment with the doctor who performed the procedure. We compared side by side photos of before and after, I don't see any difference. The doctor's response is that I'm still swollen and we will have to wait until the 6 month period to re-evaluate. On the date of the procedure the doctor and nurse both said I wasn't overweight though ideally I'd like to lose 10 pounds They were comparing me to some of their other clients who come in highly overweight expecting to walk out thin. For anyone considering this I suggest you hold on to your money and seriously get to your target weight first. Then evaluate whether you need more extensive treatment than this company can offer. For anyone at ideal weight with a tiny bulge of fat here or there then go for it. I wanted an overall shaping treatment but do not see any results for the $16k I spent. Will update at 6 months and meanwhile working on losing 10 pounds. read more

I recently made the decision to have some cosmetic surgery and after carefully checking several facilities I decided on Sono Bello in Ontario and I am so glad I did. The entire staff was wonderful from the receptionist, to the nurses and doctors. I was never kept waiting and was treated like I was their only client. I then had some additional treatments. All the nurses were exceptional but I have to give a special thank you to Allison. She was my first nurse. I wasn't sure what to expect and she took the time to explain everything in detail and how the treatments worked. She was friendly, kind and very professional. I also have to compliment Tam - she followed up with me after my surgery to ensure I was happy and to make sure everything was going smoothly. I am so happy I chose Sono Bello and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Sono Bello!! read more

Since I've last wrote, I'm ashamed of the way I look. It started off so well and all the nurses would advise me after the first 9 months to a year, I'll be all set (no more tingling/numbness) and totally healed. I continue to have numbness and bad tingling, the scare be is black and the upper part of my abdomen is pudgy making me look odd shaped. I was told it'll all come together after the year. I went back for another visit and advised the DR of my concerns. I was told to come for another consult, I see it may be about $$$$. I spent over $11,000.00 and the results are not to my satisfaction. I was promised the laser burning which was not working at the time of my surgery. I wonder if that has something to do with the outcome. I continue to eat right and exercise. I'm so freaking upset, I can't even get a discount if I were to a 2nd surgery.. SMH read more

After a very bad surgery, my midsection was disfigured, so I finally took a chance and went to Sonobello in Ontario, Ca.. There I met Dr. Amardip S. Bhuller. His medical expertise enabled him to make a decision on how to proceed and I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Bhuller took into account my medical history before proceeding, then set up a "plan of attack." His determination to be the best is such a blessing for me. It has only been 10 days since my procedure and the results are already phenomenal! My general practitioner and her nurses were also quite impressed and asked for his card.He has given me the best gift, to look once again in the mirror and not see a midsection that was disfigured almost 20 years ago. Not only is he a amazing doctor, he is also my HERO! Thank you Doc and Sonobello for being there when I needed you. read more

I am so happy I made the decision to go to Sono Bello for laser lipo. The staff at the Ontario location is so nice and they are always on time. Every appointment I have had, it feels as though I am the only appointment in the office.... they schedule very well so patients are waiting to be seen. The actual surgical procedure was uncomfortable, but not painful. Dr. Bhuller and my nurse, Rosa, were both very comforting and continued to communicate with me during the procedure. I did not require any pain medications after the procedure. I had my waist, hips and inner thighs all treated. I was able to return to work the following day and returned to the gym on Day 5. I have recommended this to several of my friends already!! Thank you Sono Bello for the boost of confidence and the jumpstart on being the best me. read more

I would give negative stars if I could. BEWARE! I have had the worst experience at this location! I was told that I would not feel any pain during my procedure... well I felt it all! I felt like a science experience.,.I was screaming in pain and I was given an oral pain med that takes 15 min minimum to take affect in which my procedure had already been finished by the time it took affect. When I told the office staff of how I felt I was disregarded and was asked "what will make u happy... what do u want from us" as if I wanted compensation of some sort... not realizing that what they did to me was very traumatizing! I told the office manager that I do not want to go back for any appointments but I feel so terrible (pain) that I have to go and I wonder what they will do this time. read more

I walked in today to get a little information on Sono Bello and their services not expecting much since I didn't have an appointment. Even though they had a pretty full lobby I never felt overlooked! They were able to squeeze me in, but they did let me know that there might be a wait because their consultant was with someone. However, I was helped every step of the way and Kim was very attentive to me. The wait was longer than I thought BUT I overheard a patient saying how her life was changed and that made me stay! The wait was definitely worth it! Karen answered all of my questions and even some I didn't know I had! Still have to think over very few things but that experience is making me want to just say ok because I have a feeling I will be taken care of! read more

I had my procedure yesterday. I had signed up for , hips , tummy , bra roll and also the EX. I have very low tolerance to pain. My doctor Dr Bhuller was so understanding, patient. He asked the nurse to give me meds to calm me down. Once I was calm and sleeping he started the procedure. I did not feel anything. All my horror fears were put to rest. He delayed my bra roll for another day as he didn't want to pump in too many licodene due to my nervousness. It took about 3 hours. Today is the second day. No pain. Surprisingly I have zero drainage which is a blessing so I do not have to deal with changing my poise pads. I am walking around And alert. Looking forward to completing my bra roll in a few days. Will post update after my bandage is gone read more

2 months ago I went ahead with the procedure and I have to give Thanks to Karen Vega, She answered all my questions and made me feel secure, she also made suggestions that would help me achieve my goals. The entire staff at Sono Bello was very professional and made the process very pleasant they took consideration of my fears and doubts and explained and cleared all of them. I would strongly suggest that anyone who is interested in this type of procedures to go to Sono Bello you will be extremely satisfied, with the procedure and my efforts in sliming down I went from 205 lbs to 165 lbs and this is only fueling me to continue my regimen and continue to get fit. Thanks to everyone from Sono Bello for this life changing process. read more

***** I've had the best experience at Sonobello. From ladies at the desk to the doctors and nurses. I am two weeks out and I can already see a big difference. I had liposuction done . The price I paid was the lowest in my area. But even if it was higher I would strongly suggest Sonobello for your cosmetic needs. They made me feel important, they all had great bedside matter. Most importantly, they turned my fifty six year old body into a younger one. I will definitely Go back for more work. They are the best. Go get your cosmetic needs done at Sonobello. Rock your new body. I'm rocking mine. Love my body again. Thank you Sonobello. -- Eleazar read more

I have been watching the Sono Bello commercial for over a year and have been interested in the procedure for some time now. One day I told myself, just do it! Upon arriving to my consultation, I found the staff to be very professional. My consultation was with Karen who was a sweetheart and very knowledgeable about the procedure. I had my procedure on August 10, 2018. The surgeon was phenomenal!!! I am now recovering at home and can see my results already. I am so excited about this new adventure and can't wait for my final results. Thank you Sono Bello! Tonya Stanford read more
