I had an amazing experience with AirSculpt for body sculpting and a BBL (fat transfer), and I…read morewanted to leave a detailed review because the care I received genuinely stood out. From the very beginning, the whole team made me feel comfortable, informed, and respected. Dr. Nguyen was professional, reassuring, and clearly very skilled. During my consult and pre-op conversations, they walked me through realistic expectations, what areas could be improved, and what the overall plan would look like for my goals. I really appreciated that nothing felt rushed--there was time for questions, and the explanations made sense without being overwhelming. I had body sculpting on my abdomen and flanks and then a fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL). The process felt organized and safe from start to finish. The staff did a great job explaining the basics of what was happening in simple terms--like how the fat is removed (liposuction), processed/purified, and then strategically placed to enhance shape and projection. They also set appropriate expectations about swelling and that results evolve over time as everything settles and the body heals (which helped so much mentally). It felt like a very patient-centered approach. A special shoutout to the nurses Carissa and Maddy--they were truly incredible. They were kind, calm, and attentive, and they made a potentially nerve-wracking day feel manageable. They checked in frequently, explained each step before it happened, and made sure I felt okay the whole time. Their bedside manner was seriously top-tier--supportive, comforting, and never dismissive. Little things like how they reassured me, kept me covered and comfortable, and made sure I understood aftercare made a huge difference. Post-op instructions were thorough and clear. They went over aftercare like compression garments, expected bruising/swelling, tenderness, activity restrictions, and what to watch for during recovery. I also liked that the guidance didn't feel generic--it felt tailored to the areas treated (abdomen/flanks) and the fat transfer component. I left feeling like I knew what "normal healing" looks like and when I should reach out. That kind of clarity reduces so much stress. Right now I'm still early in the healing process, but I'm already excited--and honestly relieved--because I feel supported and confident in the plan. I know swelling can mask final results, especially with contouring and fat transfer, so I'm focusing on following instructions, being patient, and letting my body do its thing. I'm really excited to see my 6-month results, when everything has settled and the final contour and shape are more apparent. If you're considering AirSculpt for abdominal/flank sculpting or a BBL fat transfer, I can confidently say my experience was excellent. Skilled provider, genuinely kind nurses, and a team that made safety, comfort, and communication a priority. Highly recommend.

I am 3 months post op of my laser liposuction with Sono Bello & my surgeon was Dr. Brian Strand. I…read morehad read reviews for Sono Bello for 2+ years which positive outweighed any questionable. I finally looked in the mirror one last time in July 2019 & decided as the consult is free. (Since this is a life changing event, everyone SHOULD have their ducks in a row, having their concerns...IE questions ready to be asked.) Now being a consult it was not with a surgeon as I had not committed to the procedures or even discussed what I could afford vs what the price may be. Upon researching, I did go in knowing the general pricing for "getting rid of my muffin top". And Sono Bello was competitive to any other ~liposuction doctor out there in the St. Paul/MPLS area. Thus in Edina & at a hospital location using surgeons from a well renown hospital connected via parking lot/skyways, I felt confident. Showing what I wanted GONE, I was told I was going to have laser liposuction. Information on that procedure was given to me as well as additional photos shown of similar surgeries on other patients & how their outcomes changed their appearances. THIS IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS procedure; that's on you. They do give weight loss ideas. This is a life altering event, yes its surgery and I was given 110% on how the procedures would be done. 10 lbs of fat is the legal limit on how much can be removed on one date. Thus if your carrying a lot of fat, do the math its going to a couple surgery dates. I was right at 10 lbs & was told should there be more than what the scale & measurements show prior, I would have to come back & have the rest taken out. Dr, Strand met with me & my husband a week after my consult, he sat with us over an hour explaining things, answering my questions, & reexplaining things. So I was completely made aware of what was to come. I also ordered body garments to assist in my healing, & the RN on staff who was standing at my side this whole meeting was very informative & helpful, giving me great tips on what to expect day of, day after and following days of the surgery. Listen to them because a shower curtain vs a puppy pad made a huge difference upon my first night of leaking fluids from my 7 incisions. Not to mention medications needed in a timely manner. My husband was on board the entire time. When I was ready to get on my feet 24 hours after my surgery I wasn't able to get up off the bed. My abs were just stripped from the fat on them thus they were extremely sore. He had to pull me up by my arms the first 48 hours. I was healing fast as I was able to get up slowly on my own after 48 hours & yes I was in pain. YES liposuction does leave the area treated ~sore as it needs to heal itself. Every person is different, and heals at their own time line. So those who go back to work the next day well they didn't have 10 lbs of fat cells taken from their body. I went back to work a week later and was very careful as I was in pain and couldn't take pain meds while working. Everyday I did notice I was healing though. Its amazing! I was swollen for 2 months, THEN my pants were falling off my body. Yes for real! I saw the difference in my stomach the 2nd day of post op, but now I see a completely different waist line and the appearance is just so pleasing! I still have soreness 3 months later. But its nothing compared to the first month of healing! And I have started my 3rd week of trail running! Sit ups are a definite no as my stomach area is still a bit sore and theres' minimal swelling yet. I am back to my workouts that I couldn't do pre op! I was too heavy. Again this isn't a weight loss program as I am only 10-11 lbs lighter. I am 4 sizes smaller in pants & look amazing. Everyone I have talked to at Sono Bello Edina has been professional, has answered all my questions, has been there since the day I walked in my consult, no pressure was given, ( if others felt pressure then maybe bring a second person to help you figure out what you want to do); there isn't any hidden agenda, its a business that provides people who are ready for a body change, by going through surgery, & wanting their bodies to be what they currently are not. All the expertise needed for this is at Sono Bello Edina! GO online and search your assigned surgeon. I did & found out he has an excellent record in his field! I was completely confident in his abilities. Also those leaving nasty comments on all the sites I went on prior to my commitment, some didn't leave their names, nor was there anything constructive said, which led ME to believe they may be competitors trying to bash a great caring company. I'll be back to Sono Bello Edina for my 6 month comparison, even though I was told by my surgeon & the RN that I was healing fast for the extent of liposuction that I had. I'm 150% happy with Sono Bello Edina MN! Wendy P.

After check-in in I was immediately offered a beverage, which offered very welcoming vibes. The clinic is beautiful and clean. Karisa called me from the waiting area to the procedure room. Karisa is such a delight. She took before pictures and asked a few questions before nurse Lindsey came in. Lindsey blew me away. First of all, she has incredible eye contact, says funny things, and is very educated on anatomy (she speaks intelligently it makes me feel secure, and develops great trust quickly). Lindsey took the time to listen to my concerns and educated me on the process, and when performing the procedure she had such a calm presence and demeanor and made for a more relaxing situation. Lindey helped with lip filler, cheek filler, and Botox. You could tell that patience and comfort are one of Lindsey's top priorities along with precision. I'm so happy my lips didn't bruise! My results thus far are amazing but still healing. The front office staff Dawn and Nick were a pleasure to interact with too. Nick did a great job with offering me a program I could sign up for and help same money at my next visits.

My husband had gone to Dr. Szachowicz some time ago and could not say enough good things about the experience or the results. I took his recommendation and the results have exceeded both my expectations and my hopes. Dr. Szachowicz spent considerable time with me to make sure that he understood my motivations and goals. He explained alternative approaches so that I could make a knowledgeable decision. Together agreed on a plan best suited to my goals and physiology. He took pains to make sure that I understood each step of the process and that I knew how to perform aftercare to facilitate healing. He took great care to make sure that any discomfort from the procedure was as minimal as possible. Dr. Szachowicz and Victor Rivera, his office manager, have created a soothing and intimate environment. Appointments are scheduled so that we rarely even glimpsed another patient. We rarely waited even a few minutes before Dr. Szachowicz was ready to see me. Victor made us feel welcome at each visit, appearing more as a host to honored guests than as an office manager. Throughout the process, Dr. Szachowicz and Victor were respectful and gracious to a fault. As we reach the conclusion of my plan of care, we feel we have made friends. Before my procedure, I was so self-conscious about my eyes that I found it difficult to meet new people and to look directly at people when I spoke to them. As a result of the procedure Dr. Szachowicz performed with such skill, I am once again able to meet people with confidence. Thank you Dr. Szachowicz and Victor!

I wasn't ready to invest in the skin care at that time with the hefty price tag that came with the kit system. I reached out to the place a few days ago and was told that I would need to get a second consultation in which I felt was unnecessary since I had already seen the doctor a few months ago. I voiced my opinion stating that it was pointless to have a second consultation to only be told the same information from the first consultation in which nothing in my skin had changed. Victor told me that it would be a free second consultation if I purchased the products otherwise it would be $125 just for the consultation alone. I also voiced that I would be purchasing the products but not right away as I needed to consult with the husband regarding the steep price of the OBAGI products. Victors response was very snotty and very unprofessional in which he replied back stating that the relationship was not good based on my comments and for me to take my business somewhere else. How can a place turn someone away for only speaking the truth and handled the situation so poorly? The vibe from this place from the beginning only made me feel like they only care about your money and that they were too good for everyone else! Thank you for showing your true colors because I surely wouldn't want to do business with a place who are unprofessional and don't know how to handle the slightest criticism, more so, can I say cant handle the truth! If you truly care about your patients, you wouldn't have never replied back all snotty like you did in the email. This place is horrible and I would rather take my money and business somewhere else where I am valued and treated with respect and valued.

I was having injections of my glabellar which included the two corrugator muscles. Before he injected I asked if he would talk for a few minutes about placement of the injection site.

I just asked for a refund. They said the lines would 'go away'. Well, they haven't. And it will be a year in June, I've been to two other dermatologists and an occuplastic surgeon. And it is called corrugator muscle atrophy, either he used too much Botox or it was placed incorrectly. The occuplastic surgeon said he hadn't seen anything like it in his 30 years of practice. If I try a few other procedures like Rf microneedling or laser, it could cost quite a lot, since it has to be done more than once.

Yes, I am 39 and I have had work, we all age differently, and I started showing laxity very young, eye bags, hooded eye lids, so I needed work, because I was looking tired all the time, and it didn't reflect how I feel inside! I have a review on Real Self as well if you want to read that, that app is amazing as well- I researched many things regarding plastic surgery for years, I have always been interested in plastic surgery and all that there is, so I did research for a very long time before choosing Dr. Szachowicz - Dr Szachowicz is a perfectionist (this is what you want, I assure you, you want a perfectionist to take care of your face). He takes his time he knows absolutely everything about the face. Other facial plastic surgeons know him as well and compliment his work. I had another (female) plastic surgeon in St Louis Park ask me for a referral about who did my work, that's how good he is - she said she wanted to get work by him as well. He takes his time and will tell you what your facial muscles are doing and what his plan will be, his prices are fair. He goes step by step. He will never make you look overworked or over tight or over done- everyone will just think wow you look amazing. I hope he does not retire anytime soon! I really appreciate his honesty and his imaging system where he shows you your expected results and before and after. I am currently deciding to do one more thing with him that I did not previously do, but I am ready to do now! To date I mostly focused on the upper portion of my face, but now I am getting ready to do the lower (neck and lower lift). The younger you address things they better you will be long term, he will help you look like yourself only REFRESHED, youthful, glowing, and happy! I love myself, and I want to look like ME. He is the best. Trust me!
