Sono Bello Bellevue

Love Sono Bello! The staff, the nurses, the doctor seriously everyone was awesome, friendly and just the best. It's been almost three weeks since my procedure and I'm lovin' my new look, it gets better almost daily. Worth the time, the expense, the swelling and everything that comes with laser lipo. I got my sexy back and it feels great. I love turning heads. If laser lipo is something you are thinking about, I highly recommend Sono Bello, they truly are the BEST!! more

My experience at Sono Bello was amazing. My results were more then I expected. The staff was professional, caring, and undertood exactly what what i wanted wanted. My doctor was very thorough in my care before and after my procedure. more

I realize everyone defines positive and negative experiences differently. However it seems people are more inclined to take the time to post negative experiences in detail for public view but very infrequently post positive experiences. I have had and continue to have very positive experiences with Sono Bello, Bellevue, Washington. \r \r I learned about Sono Bello through the normal media venues. I was curious about their services and wondered whether or not I would be a realistic candidate since my BMI (Basic Metabolic Index) was within normal range. So why was I seeking information about Sono Bello? I, like most of the population, had problem areas that didnâ??t respond to diet and exercise. I was very reluctant to try anything invasive because I believed I could continue to work harder on the areas I wasnâ??t happy with. After contemplating the decision for over 6 months, I finally made the call. \r \r Sono Belloâ??s customer service via phone was very friendly and informative and so I booked a consultation! My initial consultation in Bellevue, Washington included meeting with a nurse to discuss my medical history, the surgical procedure and relative expectations based on my BMI and body type. I was very impressed to learn the consultation nurse had received the same procedure and thus could answer my respective questions from firsthand experience. During the consultation, the nurse emphasized that everyoneâ??s results vary and laser assisted liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. \r Additionally, she made sure I understood my results would be enhanced by my ability to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. I booked a procedure and felt very informed and reassured going into the overall experience. \r \r The day of the procedure was very fluid. Every staff member was friendly, professional and made sure I was comfortable and informed during the whole process. Dr Peterson met with me prior to the procedure to assess my body fat composition and provided me with his expectations for my procedure. I was very happy to understand the surgeonâ??s expectations going into the procedure. Post procedure I was sent home with instructions for care and information on what to expect for the next week. I returned to work two days after the procedure and my discomfort was easily managed with over the counter pain relievers. I received a follow up call from Dr Peterson as well as the clinic nurse to check on how I was feeling and to answer any questions. I returned a week later for the routine one week follow up appointment to assess recovery and progress. Dr Peterson and his staff were very patient and informative in answering my numerous questions ranging from incision site tenderness to anticipated results. \r \r I love how my clothes fit me now and I am very happy with the results. And, I returned to the Bellevue Clinic to have a second procedure completed by Dr Peterson just recently. My work schedule is quite hectic and often unforgiving and so the time between the two procedures was about a year. I mention the time between both procedures because the level of care and professionalism I received was consistent respectively. I am pleased to say I am very satisfied with my decision to contact Sono Bello and I believe my overall positive results can be attributed to the professional, informative and compassionate care I received at Sono Bello, Bellevue Washington. \r \r I am highly recommending the Bellevue Sono Bello Clinic to anyone seeking to improve the physical appearance of stubborn problem areas and receiving top notch care and customer service. \r \r -Brenda more

Sono Bello is an excellent facility. My doctor was outstanding and very compassionate. The staff was also superb. I was very ashamed of my body but they made me feel great and cared for. My surgery experience was a litlle painful but nothing that I couldn't handle. I look great even after 2 1/2 weeks and swelling. I will defintely be back if I can't get my inner thighs slimmer with excercise. Thank you for giving me my life back. more

Four years ago, when I was 58, my daughter told me I looked pregnant!! Of course, I was NOT happy with that ""discovery"" but realized that I needed to do something. I've tried injections, tons of diets, some exercise and was just not happy with my mid-section. more

It's been 6 weeks since my life changing decision to visit Sono Bello. I was very nervous at first, but everyone from the office staff to the doctor made my experience top notch! I have lost 10lbs and 2 dress sizes. All of my friends and family are commenting on how great I look. Thank you Sono Bello! more

After a very pleasant introductory and consultative experience, I went in for my procedure. The clinic staff and my doctor were knowledgeable and helpful, from pre-op to recovery. They were very concerned with my comfort and healing process throughout, and made sure that there were no surprises. Doctor Sobrino called to check on me over the weekend and was very kind to my wife in answering her questions and providing care instructions. Two weeks later, I am already starting to see results and Dr. Sobrino assures me it will only get better with time. I'm so glad I made this decision - I only wish I had done it sooner. more

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. more

I heard about Sono Bello from the all the radio ads. I went in and received a consultation. The staff was friendly and honest about the type of results and experience I would have. As a man who works out regularly, there were just problem areas that I couldn't get rid of. Sono Bello was the solution to my problems. I used to look husky but now I look fit. I highly recommend Dr. Sobrino for any body contouring procedures.He got me the results I was looking for. Now I am even more motivated to keep up my fitness goals. Thank you to the staff at Sono Bello. more

I was referred to Sono Bello by a friend and have been impressed with the level of service I received from your staff. Stacey Watts has been exceptionally helpful and supportive in guiding me on the procedure I need and assisting me through the financing process. I am greatly looking forward to completing my operation with Dr. Sobrino next month - many thanks to your staff for guiding me through this difficult decision and helping to secure the resources I need to do it. \r \r Best Regards, \r Christopher Ezell\r more

First I want to clarify that I am not one to throw praise around lightly. I only write reviews or give unsolicited feedback if my experience was extremely poor or in this case if it is above and beyond the call of duty. \r I want to commend Sono Bello of Bellevue for their tremendous care and stellar treatment plan they put forth for me. I have been unhappy with my body for a few years and having struggles shedding the extra lbs. So it got to the point that I needed some help in getting my body back and feeling confident again. I had heard multiple radio advertisements for Sono Bello and typically just tune them out. But thanks to their great marketing and catchy jingle I decided to do research. And I am so glad that I did. \r I decided to make an appointment and meet with the patient care consultant, Stacey. Even though I made the appointment and went before going I still had in my head “this is crazy and no way I am going to through with this.” But immediately Stacey put me at ease and took time to explain the process. I had lots of questions and pushed back but she addressed them and was very upfront. I could tell she was genuine. I decided this is something that I could and should do. I decided to just to my chin and face at first. My body was a big concern but I was still weary and wanted to “test” it out to see how it went. And I was blown away. \r I don’t think anyone ever gets excited about surgery and I think people would be lying if they say there weren’t a little nervous before a procedure. I met my surgeon, Dr. Peterson and his staff was nothing short of FANTASTIC! I couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to entrust my body to. He was so patient and thorough in his pre-op consultation. I walked away feeling great and was confident I had made the right decision. The surgery was nothing and I was talking and making jokes throughout the whole process…really. But post-opp was still something that I was concerned about and wasn’t sure how my body would respond. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to recover. Now I had sorness for the first few days which is to be expected but it was honestly minimal. I was back to work in 3 days and felt great. The best part was nothing was unexpected I had everything explained to me what to expect so my expectations were properly set. All my questions and concerns were addressed and they send out weekly emails walking you through the recovery process and expectations.\r I am now 2 months removed from my surgery and couldn’t be happier. In fact I am so pleased I am going back to have the rest of my body taken care of and looking forward to the procedure. Sono Bello in Bellevue treats you as family and cares for your body as if it is their own. I would feel comfortable recommending them to anyone. Thanks Sono Bello for your support and this is a well-deserved sterling review! \r more

I am 44 years old and have been wanting and thinking to have my body structure changed. I needed and wanted to feel good about myself and start up on what I had ignored for years. So I decided to have my Upper Abs, lower Abs, waist and hip with the laser assisted body contouring done. The surgery was not hard for me at all. Dr. Sobrino had been picked for me because of his experience on women that are larger in size. He was wonder full, he first told me about himself, his experience, and showed me what he will be doing. He repeatedly comforts me by stating ?he will help me feel better.? I felt very comfortable with him from the get-go so I knew he would be a safe bet. The months before my surgery felt like years. I was so excited, I did so much research and learned as much as I could about how to prepare, what to expect, Day finally arrived and I was nervous instead of excited, my surgery was on the Tuesday I had a great friend supporting me during and after the surgery. Before long, I was given some sedation medicine and was rolling to the surgery room. I was excited and nervous at the same time, to awake and see my new body Once I got home I received a call from Dr. Sobrino asking me how I?m doing, I felt really good about the call and how much he really cared. Thank you Dr. Sobrino Day after Surgery, I woke up extremely excited but sore and ready to enjoy my new body. I hadn't been nauseous or experience a lot of the side effect just the sore ness and bruising and swelling on my stomach. But the Results were worth it thrilled to say the least. I was so much smaller and felt much better about myself. I had read about how people after surgery go through depression I have not experienced any of that just to be patient. Patience is not a strong characteristic I possess but as I say again I feel much better about my self. I would say this has been a good experience for me, I would recommend to anyone to Sonobello. I think that my surgeon Sobrino is excellent at what he does with his team. Surprisingly, I don't think that this surgery has changed me in the least bit. I don't feel as though my confidence has changed, maybe a little, but overall I am still the same person. I look a million times better than it was to begin with, and would do at again. My experience with the Staff and Doctor Sobrino were great, staff is very polite and professional. I am extremely happy with the visits here at Sonobello. It was a wonderful experience and any questions I had, even after surgery, have been promptly answered, Very caring and taken excellent care of me. Good luck to all of you more

Ive thought about Smart Lipo for quite a long time. At 31 Ive struggled with my weight for along time now. Even as a child. Naturally Prior too and after joining the Service you get whooped into shape but after being in for awhile and as you start moving up the food chain you become less active and over time start having issues keeping the pounds off. After having surgery on my midsection I went from 199LBS-184LBS. Its barely been three months since my procedure and Im already seeing the results I wanted plus the weight is staying off and Im already planning to go back in for work on other problem areas. Thank you Sonobello!!!! You guys and Gals rock! more

I have been considering surgery for many years and finally decided to go for it! I am 55 years old and have hated my mid-section since I turned 40. My weight is stable, but I have been unable to lose anything substancial for years. All my fat is in my abdomen. I was worried I would be waisting my time because I am not not a small woman. My experience started with a great consultation with Stacey and met with Dr. Peterson a week before my surgery. Everything was a breeze! I was nervous about pain during the procedure, but ended up very comfortable. I had my upper and lower abdomen treated, and my waist and hips. I was a little sore for a few days following the procedure, but was up walking around and back to light activity the next day. It has only been a few weeks but I am already ready to shop for a new sexy holiday dress! Thank you Sono Bello, I am finally happy with my new shape....and so is my husband! I would recommend this procedure to anyone! more

It has been almost a month since my procedure at Sonobello and I can already see such great results!!! I think I almost cried a couple of times looking at my stomich! lol. I have gone to the gym and went through personal trainers and I could never get rid of my baby bump, and now its almost gone :))) I am still a little swolen but I am super excited to see how its going to look in the months to come!!! Everything is all nice and hard, no more baby fat haha! At being only 22, I didn't want to keep going through feeling self conscience about my stomich and now I will never have to! more

I am doing great since my surgery! Back to working out and Loving the way I feel in my clothes (no more muffin top) and how confident I feel in my new look! I had a great experience with Sonobello! From the ladies at the reception desk, to meeting with Stacey and all her encouragement and positiveness about my procedure, to the RN's, and especially Dr. Hamawy. I have experienced 4 office visits including my procedure day, and each time I felt important, respected and truly cared for. The day of my procedure Dr. Hamawy was very compassionate and caring about how I felt prior to and after my procedure. The staff made me feel like they really cared and gave me good pointers on how to make my recovery experience less painful and quicker. I looked forward to Dr. Hamawy emails each week, they were right on point on how I felt about my recovery, encouraging and were very informative on how to make my recovery experiece much better. I'm very happy and pleased with the care I have received at Sonobello, it was a huge decision for me to make to even take the first step by making an appointment. I would most definitely recommend Sonobello to anyone. more

At age 62 my post pregnancy tummy was still very much with me. After talking with a plastic surgeon and finding out a tummy tuck would be $13,000 and six weeks off of work, I went to Sono Bello. For less than half and no down time I got the results I wanted and more. The office was friendly and my doctor, Dr. George Marosan was wonderfully supportive and kind. The only part I didn't like was looking in the full length mirror in the ""before"" shots! The procedure wasn't painful at all, we chatted all through it. Afterwards my friend and I went out for dinner. I wernt to work the next day, although I probably should have waited a bit longer. I found myself a bit tired for about three days. Other than that, it was a walk in the park. It is terrific to have all my clothes fit and sometimes my pants almost fall off! I would definitely recommend this procedure to anyone who wants results quickly and for a reasonable amount of money. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Sono Bello! CK, Renton, WA more

I saw an advertisement on TV for Sono Bello in Bellevue. I called them and got an appointment within the same week. \r When I arrived, the first thing I noticed was the reception area. It was clean and had a warm, comforting feel to it. They had actual customer more

When hear their ad ""It's your life, live it beautifully"", I have to agree! The receptionists are friendly and genuine and the nurses were amazing during all parts of the process (including three months later during check-ups). I was considered ""awake"" during my whole procedure which I was really nervous about but except for a couple of foggy moments of memory, I might has well have been completly asleep and didn't feel ANY pain. Afterwards I felt amazingly good even though I had several areas worked on and was moving around shortly after. They suggested an arnica regiment to start before the procedure and continue for several weeks after and it really helped the healing quite a bit. I was back to work within 4 days with very little discomfort even though I have a pretty physical job. Didn't see much bruising either. I loved the weekly emails that they sent afterwards that described what was happening to my body as it heals, the suggestions on how to help the healing process, and how to keep your new body beautiful (including links to other websites with information on stimulating your body's natural healing and healthy food menu ideas). It's a more expensive way to go then trying to find time to be killing yourself at the gym and cutting out every delicious food you love. But in the end, it is worth it! Now I can have a beautiful body and great self confidence WITHOUT taking time away from my husband and my toddler who's only going to be little once. It was a big decision, but not taking time away from my family is definitly worth it. more

A different take as to why you would want to undertake a procedure like this ? In my case it's genetics and family history that convinced me to remove what can easily be described as ""Mutant fat cells"". No matter how active I am, number of workouts, there was always a section around my waist that would never respond. When I look at family members and past history of other family members. There is the same body feature on most men. What's troubling is that any minor weight fluctuation, goes to that one spot. As people have aged, the body weight seems to sit, stay and GROW in the same place. Common sense told me that if the ability to store fat at that location is removed, it would be easier to control my weight and appearance as I age. Not to mention the numerous other benefits in staying leaner. Prior to the procedure I did my best to get as lean as possible, whereby it's that final problem area that could be isolated and removed. Now just 4 months after the procedure and my continued physical fitness agenda, it's really amazing. Initially I did it to reduce my ability to retain ""energy"" or better known as body fat, the body sculpting secondary. Now ? The physical appearance does make a statement, the change is quite remarkable. Never would I have expected this result, however, I am committed to a healthy, physical lifestyle. If you really want to get the best results, you really need to practice healthy choices. That definitely includes activity and diet. This is not a weight loss solution. I personally viewed it as a body management/modification solution. Back in the day, 1000 or so years ago, my ancestors needed that extra fat storage capacity as they hunted and gathered, in this day and age, I DON'T ! Thank you SONO BELLO :) more
