I'm a veteran of two liposuction events, one conventional 15 years ago and Sono Bello one year ago. The conventional liposuction was done under full anesthesia and removed the fat more effectively than the Sono Bello proceedure. In spite of the full anesthesia the conventional was more painful afterwards and also resulted in more bleeding and bruising. But, it wasn't that bad. The one good thing about the Sono Bello procedure was that, for me, there was no pain and bruising. The bad thing about Sono Bello is that it didn't do the job. I still have fat to be removed, that was supposed to be remove and was not. Originally, I was told that what I wanted removed would have to be done in two sessions but later the doctor decided that it could be done in just one session. Well, I was for having just one session if it was true but, it wasn't. Six months after the procedure I complained to Sono Bello that the job wasn't done. Instead of offering to go back in and finish the job, I was told that it was the fault of my skin, that I was too old. Well, I was the same age when they took my money so I don't think that's a very good excuse. My guess is that it would have gone better if it had been done in two sessions instead of one but it wouldn't have been as profitable for Sono Bello. Over all I can say that there was some improvement but for $8,000+ I am disappointed.
