I am 5' 2"" and was 140lb before surgery; I am 131lb 10 weeks later.
To lose pounds is wonderful, but to gain a body shape that makes me happy is at least ten times better.
Before I walked into Sono Bello, I had spent months doing research into laser liposuction. After becoming convinced that it would meet my needs, I quickly decided to have the procedure and the areas for fat removal / body sculpting.
I didn't have the expectation about being skinny. I was just seeking some noticeable reduction to my waist, hips, thighs, arms and chin.
After I talked to the pleasant Sono Bello specialist, Shab,
I learned that I would see results on all areas except for my chin.
She said that I had too little fat there and she was afraid that I would be disappointed.
I appreciated her thinking for me instead of her business.
But I am the kind of person that sees myself in the mirror everyday, so I told her that I still felt like giving it a try.
She then advised me to bring up the ""chin"" possibility with the doctor.
When I met Dr. Nyte a few weeks later,
I told him all my efforts through the years to give my chin a more prominent profile.
As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Nyte was very understanding of what I have been through.
He told me not too be so hard on myself.
Surgery would help some but maybe not noticeably so but he was willing to do it if that was what I wanted.
I told him that ""yes"" and I was happy that he could help me.
I am happier today because I am satisfied with the result.
Yes, the change on the chin area is not much comparing to the much slimmer thighs, tummy and arms,
but it still makes a difference to my appearance that I can tell.
On my surgery,
I had multiple areas done in 2 stages a week apart.
I have no complaints at all.
With my 2 Cesarian experiences in the past, laser surgery is not big deal.
I took a vacation to Maui one month after the procedure. While there was still some residual swelling from the procedures, the slimmer figure was already noticeable!
A month after surgery, I was not energetic enough to go snorkeling, but happily fit into my new swimsuit.
With a slimmer figure, I have never enjoyed the beaches so much.
My sincere thanks to to Sono Bello ... and to Shab.
It was an easy and pleasant experience.
My biggest thanks goes to the most skillful Dr. Nyte.
Now that my husband has seen the results, he is now planning a visit to look better for me!
