I visited Sono Bello a little over a year ago to discuss laser liposuction for my trouble areas. Everyone was friendly and eager to please however; like so many other complaints I have read, the office manager who handled my consultation was a mirror image of a Barbie doll who told me about her own laser lipo results & how pleased she was. She had me stand up and lightly swept her hands around my mid section, inner & outer thighs and just kept saying "oh yeah, this will ALL come off, you are such a great candidate!" Keep in mind my clothes are still on, she's not actually looking at my skin just apparently what is bulging out. I found it unsettling that this wasn't being done by a doctor and asked when a doctor would actually evaluate me. She said I would meet the doctor on the day of the procedure & at that time he would ensure I was fit to have the procedure done, but reassured me that because this is a new and improved technique that basically everyone is a good candidate. I believe her actual words were "if you have fat, you qualify, there's not much else to it." I had done a lot of research online & also believed I would benefit from the procedure. I had no medical problems, no skin issues, I'm young & healthy so I wasn't worried. Now you may ask why did I do it if I wasn't happy with the consultation and that I cannot really answer. I have been over weight my entire life, I've been on every diet known to man & just couldn't lose the weight. When I found Solo Bello online after years of wanting liposuction I literally just felt like I HAD to have it done.
I paid a LOT...I'm embarrassed to say how much, let's just say more than 10k, a lot more. The doctor ended up being very nice, his assistant even nicer. They treated me amazingly & I remember telling my mom the next day as I laid in bed sore but enthusiastic that "this is the best decision I've ever made." I followed the post op directions to a T waiting eagerly to start seeing a new slimmer me. I went in for my 1 month check-up with little if any results but was reassured that I was still swollen & would be seeing results any day.
Long story short, my results were almost non-existant. My family & closest friends knew I'd had the procedure done and tried to be supportive but were unable to notice a difference. My clothes never fit better, I didn't go down any sizes. I look almost exactly the same.
I'm embarrassed by my lack of results & I feel like I got ripped off. I have recently cried to my mother, explaining that this was hands down the most expensive mistake I have ever made. A far cry from how I felt the day after my procedure.
Thinking about having this done in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Anyone else have it done there?
What difference does it make where you go for the procedure? Did you not just read the above review? They are a ripoff and you still want to give your money away. You must have money to blow. You could go do a real liposuction or tummy tuck by professionals and get better results and your money worth. She trying to tell you 🏃🏽♀️from this company.
They left me with a lump and a hideous scar that I kept being told by 1 yr would be better well its NOT
I had many of the same issues, I think a class action lawsuit is needed. They are awful!
After my meeting before the surgery, I decided not to go through with it. When I asked for my money back, they told me it would take a month because it has to go through their main office. I talked to my consultant, but instead of helping, she tried to make me talk to another client to convince me to change my mind. I didn't want to because of my health and I didn't like how pushy they were, not really listening to my worries. I once had a really bad experience with surgery where my heart stopped, but all they could say was that I'd be fine and look good. I've told them clearly I don't want the surgery and asked for my refund. It's been 10 days, and I haven't heard anything back, which is funny because they were all over me when they wanted my money. It shouldn't be this hard to get back over $13,000 just because you changed your mind. I'd say steer clear of Penske West Cars; it's just too much trouble.
