I am so pleased with my results from my first procedure. My virtual appointment with Cindy from Florida was so pleasant and helpful.
Then my procedure was great. My Doctor was Dr. Brownstein. He was fantastic. He did an unbelievable job. Jessica Carpenter was the RN. She was so pleasant and sweet to me. I had my procedure in Cranberry but Dr Brownstein is back home at King of Prussia Pa. So I am going there to have him do my second surgery. He even called me the day after to see how I felt. That is truly amazing. The Dr calling you?
I have already lost 20 pounds and my areas he did, look great. My husband compliments me every day. Thank you, Dr. Brownstein!
Dr. Lakin, Dr. Lakin Dr. Lakin!
Best plastic surgeon ever! A master at his profession and a real perfectionist!
I had the laser Lipo and also what Sono Bello calls an E/X, which is the removal of the skin on the lower abdomen. I am 72 hours out of surgery, My new shape looks amazing I feel wonderful. Best decision I ever made in my life!
I would also like to mention that Nicole the consultant was extremely informative and absolutely great at showing me what to expect and leading me through the process. I met with the nurse Amy for my preop appointment who gave me more instructions and explained them to me thoroughly what to do pre-and post surgery, she was great and a plethora of information! Then, nurse Nicole that was in the surgery room who was awesome and absolutely wonderful!
The doctor called to check up on me hours after I returned home, then I had to contact sono Bello to ask couple minor questions 40 hours later which I got through immediately at off hours and they connected me to the doctor!
The whole experience has been smooth and everyone has been there when you need them!

This was the worst experience ever. I was over changed. The front office and Office Manager are clueless. They miss-scheduled me several times and the were never on schedule. The front office has not idea what the back office is doing. 15K and all we got was discomfort and dissatisfaction. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME
My experience with Sonobello in at a NY location, left me feeling extremely disappointed. I had my liposuction procedure over three years ago in the areas of stomach and inner thighs. The procedure on my inner thighs was exceptionally painful and I squirmed throughout the process. Although, I received a mild sedative, I could hear the Dr. advising his staffing to provide me with additional medication. Unfortunately, the end result is my stomach area remained bloated with minimal to no improvement and my thighs are disproportionately disfigured. Recently, I had a consultation for coolsculpting in an attempt to correct my SB experience. By coincidence a staffing member at the CS location, began speaking with me regarding her personal experience with SB. Surprisingly, we had our procedure performed at the same location. This appeared to be an unfortunate experience for the both of us. Again, my overall personal experience left me feeling disappointed. I'm now weighing my options, but feeling fearful of another unpleasant experience.
I went to get a tummy tuck, boy was I stupid, I should have just went to a plastic surgeon, on the first visit they tried to get to pay another $3500 for the "xl" tummy tuck, I said wait I already paid you over $4500, I can't afford this, so they said ok, day of procedure, nurse very sweet, I actually liked my doctor, the PAIN was unbelievable, I almost passed out, my stomach is uneven, Rocky, looked like purple dead meat, bleeding everywhere, they bandage me sooo tight & a lot, with two Kotex pads for the blood, I couldn't take it off for days, I fainted in the shower trying to remove all the tape & pads, I got no follow up call, in fact I called them, crying about the pain & blood,, went to follow up visit the nurse was cold, wouldn't take a picture so I can see any difference, she said let's wait til your next visit, I went to front to schedule my visit, they said they will call me & they never did... I feel embarrassed in front of my family, them knowing I had to go get a loan, to do this, so I can feel better about myself, I complained 6 months later, bc my stomach is uneven, and we could have used this money for more important things, I'm going in next week to show the doctor how unsatisfied I am, I'm sure going to give me some b. S. that my before pics and after pics shows a difference, but I didn't pay for this little of a difference, I really feel we all should start an class action suit
Dr. Crawford and his team is wonderful! Thanks to them I'm rocking it out and keeping it cute during this pandemic. This isn't weight loss surgery. Listen to the doctor and follow the instructions. That's what I did and made some minor lifestyle changes. Good things doesn't always come easy and sometimes you might have to work a little bit. If you've had the surgery all you need to do is just stay committed to your goals and follow through. If you're thinking about having surgery I truly believe you will be pleased with the services Sonabello offers.
Went in for a consultation and it was insisted that I put a down payment to hold my original quote.
Covid hit, jobs lost, and I asked to reduce the number of areas treated and they wanted to charge the same as all the areas.
I couldn't afford it and they DID NOT CARE.
Very rude and would not recommend their services.

I paid a fortune for sono Bello with next to no results. I spent the same amount of money again for a surgery tummy tuck that has been absolutely fabulous! Don't waste your money especially for stomach area
I am very disappointed with my results. I wanted a tummy tuck and I get allot of fat in the areas I didn't do anything. They response was I was the same and now is more visible because I did my belly which was a bit hanging. I don't know why I needed anesthesia to my arms and back since I didn't do anything there?! Now I have access of fat to those areas which I didn't have before. They responded me that I should do those too. The procedure was extremely painful and the nurse said to the dr that machine is old and maybe is not working so the body might not be under anesthesia but he just wanted to have it done. I felt I was cut alive. That was the worst experience of my life and now I have shoulders and back fat that I don't know how to loose.

I noticed results by the 5th - 6th day after surgery. I was so shock by the results, because it was still so early! I can't wait to see the full results by the 6th month! They really have me excited about getting my body back!
This place is a joke, be extremely careful before signing any contracts paying any money, see a doctor, get examen for realistic results. The consultant will tell you anything to get your money, they owe me over $5,000.00 I will be filling a small claims against them this week.
Luerene, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We have escalated your concerns to our patient experience team and they will be in touch shortly to resolve your issue.
I had my procedure done only 2wks ago. I have been placing calls to sono bello's ft Lauderdale office since 11am. It is now 10pm and I have never received a call back. Was satisfied with overall experience but I would NEVER treat a patient in need like this, SHAME ON YOU ALL!
Dimples N., we're sorry to hear your experience with Sono Bello was not exceptional. Our offices were closed on 11. 03. 20 to allow our employees the opportunity to vote in the presidential election, but our after-hours medical staff would have still been available for any medical concerns. We've attempted to reach out to you. Please return our call at your earliest convenience or you can reach out to [email protected] in our corporate office so we can further discuss your concerns. Best, Sono Bello.
They do not care about people just collecting the money. After finding out from my primary care doctor that this procedure was not safe for me and I cancelled; they still charged my cards for the procedure I DID NOT HAVE. See photos for full review.

Zero bedside-operation manners! One of the lesser staffs pitied and literally muttered "no dignity" as she tried to help me post-op bandaging. She asked me if I'm a nurse 'cause I took it all "calmly".
Got zero-negative post-op follow-up. Offered only 1compressed garment (soiled and bloody one worn from the surgery) and when I called them. They told me that the 2nd pair may arrive a week + later. I was to use the same soiled garment for the whole week and that they are not in charge of the 2nd pair. Now, I am more scared that my incisions will get infected than I am scared of the operation! If they had told me beforehand, I would have ordered my own compression garments just like they had me bring my own towels to the surgery (which I did, and was grateful I did) Truly!
However, the marketers and all responsible for payment were exceptionally sweet! Payment collected in full before the procedure! Once payment was done, things changed real fast for me! Disregard set in. My surgery was canceled and on the eve of surgery at 5:15pm (after business hours) and sent forward by 2days (or any day within the month; i may stop my Arnica Montana if I chosethis option). When I called to stress on the rigidity of ride and nanny arrangements i had made for that surgery appointment, they refunded money for 1-way post-op ride...

Terribly painful during. Nothing more than a Valium and asprin for the procedure. Doctor had worst bedside manner ever. Results worse than both. Looks like I ate rocks.

The dr did procedure despite me screaming in pain and the staff present did nothing to help me. The dr told me if u don't stay still I'm gonna stop right now and leave you like this. I basically passed out from pain

I would rate it a negative 10 if I could My husband went in there in 2020 to have fat taken out of 2 parts of his body after spending over $6500. 00 there us absolutely no difference in his body. Wearing the spanx fir months and there is NO difference it is a total scam! Rip off!

Painful and waste of money. Had my lower abs done and now the fat goes to my belly... I look pregnant now. Wish I never wasted my money.

I had my procedure on 8/20/20 I had liposuction of my stomach, upper abs, and back with the EX procedure 8578- first I had sever swelling and bruising and a great deal of pain I was told on 2 visits pain meds would be called in they were NOT, they ordered my garment on 8/27 and I never received it after several calls - they promised to call back they do not! My incision split open and I have a terrible scar they told me to put neosporin on it and go by a hand massager- I cant tell much difference really- I would never go to them again- they get your money and bam you don't hear from them- I will probably have to go to another plastic surgeon and have the incision repaired- very unhappy
They promised great results but worse than before! The pain was not worth any resultats. Still not happy and will not go through the pain with non existent meds for a 3rd time! DO NOT USE SONOBELLO!
Answer: It feels so friggin awful. They lie. Everyone lies. It's like being sliced open with a big poker and then that poker getting jammed up under you skin for hours.
