5 months after surgery and I'm exactly the same size and measurements as before. All I have to show for it is a huge scar. I went back in and talked to the doctor. He kept saying "I did exactly what I said I would do. There's nothing else I can do." I felt he got very irritated with me when I kept trying to understand why it didn't work for me. Since it didn't work, I want my money back. I'm going to have to find another Dr. who can fix it. read more

2yrsago I had sono remove my love handles After -care was non existent. Dr was kind but did a lousy job. They apparently bring in doctors to perform these procedures. Who know how experienced they are. I felt I was going to the best place for this but now I know I made a mistake and had to redo it at surface in Layton They actually HAVE a surgeon with 25 yrs experience. They stand you up to see how this look... as ladies we all have a flat stomach laying down I'm thrilled with Surface medical spas expertise and price. And after care snd friendly staff. What a difference from sonobello read more

I had my knees, outer thighs and abdomen done. The procedure was split into to sessions on different days. The first was knees and outer thighs, I requested extra anesthetic due to my high tolerance. Procedure went fine. No complaints there. Second procedure went wrong. I didn't have enough anesthetic, they didn't wait until I was out, I could feel the probing from the beginning. It was extremely painful, I asked them to wait, give me more meds. They said they had to keep going or they weren't going to finish due to time and next patient waiting. Needless to say my abdomen was incomplete. This was what I wanted more than anything. At my follow-up I reminded them of what happened and ask could they finish. They said because I had to procedures, I had to wait about 6 months then they will look at it. Time came and went. They refused to finish the procedure at that time. I lose my money with an unfinished procedure. I paid them a told of $10k. I didn't even care about the knees and thighs, I only did that because it was suggested. This may have just been my experience but I do not recommend them. I wish I would have just spend the money on a tummy tuck instead. I am still struggling with getting the desired abdomen that I wanted. So disappointed. If Sono Bello is reading this and care to fix the issue please call me I would love to talk to you. read more

I had chin lipo there recently, like last Tuesday so is too soon for results however I wanted to say since I was not able to answer my surgeons call, because yes they'll call you directly to see how you are doing!!! That he explained everything so well my expectations are high but I have a deep deep understanding of what to expect and how everything plays into results Wich I've never have had with other surgeries, as well as an Amazing team from Jessica to the front desk and of course the medical team these girls are all amazing and Dr Miller has given me something I lost a while back Wich is my trust in doctors due to a surgery that has left my youngest partially in a wheelchair ..... I know my procedure was not drastic but having that PTSD from my son's unfortunate outcome left me very disappointed and extremely sad and this procedure will give me a little bit of my face back and not look so sad or upset and make my little life a bit happier! Sorry for rambling on but I am very happy I found some hope in all of this oddly enough thank you so much!!! read more

Sonobello has reached out to me to resolve my issue. I'm thankful for the way Sonobello actually treats their customers, especially one such as I. I give them 5 stars for customer service. read more

I was well informed that the removal of fat would also depend on my level of pain tolerance. Please be aware of this. While you are given a local anesthesia, you are also provided anti-anxiety medication, and pain killers, etc. My ribs are hyper-sensitive to pain, and hot or cold elements to the point of being painful. I was generally fine during the procedure, but it seemed as though once the surgeon was near my ribs; all bets were off. Medication and was wearing off and I began to tremble and clench onto the table. It had a painful and hard tickle sensation where I knew I was still pretty numb; but the cannula was a weird experience. I have been wanting this done for 12+ years; and I also have my own version of "Ideal" body image for me. That being said, I do, love the 'plastic' look. I wanted my full abs, waist and back bra rolls done. I didn't want to exactly appear natural as I wanted the small narrow waist, following up to wide curvy hips which I would not want fat removal. I did stress this to the patient care consultant, Jessica. Even though I am still puffy after my first week, I am truly hoping the total of 2,000+ ml that was removed from these 4 areas were enough. I was advised the surgeon wouldn't remove too much or too little to give me a 'natural' look. Which let me still stress, this is NOT what I was going after. So I am hoping after the swelling goes down, and the new shape starts to form; I'll see what it was I was aiming for! read more

Do not go here. I had a procedure 3 years ago I had a terrible infection. Now I get infections all the time. The doctor I worked with was so rude and I ended up having to go to specialist to fix what sonnobella had done. It is not worth it. They would not even refund my money. read more

Loved my experience with this facility. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They truly cared about process and success. I'm about 90 days post op and I see the results already and am beyond happy read more

Welcoming staff and fair pricing for the procedure. Jessica was a good person to work with thru the process.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The information provided is very thorough for pre-op and post-op, as well as the followup calls and emails. The staff is always available to answer questions and genuinely invested in your progress. The facility is very nice and comfortable and very accommodating to family/friends that are there to support you. read more

As a 54 year old grandmother, I went into sonobello very cautious. Read reviews, postponed procedure, asked a lot of questions. I'm so happy I finally did it! I feel so much younger already. Loved the staff in slc, they took the time to share the facts. read more

Run! Rip off! Sucker walking! I was charged over $11K/$1600.00+ per area for my procedure. This included the Tri-Sculp Lipo of my midsection. I had my procedure done in August 2017. My weight hasn't changed, I never got below 4 lbs of my original weight, and I am now back up to 170 lbs. I diet and exercise, and I still look like I am 7 months pregnant. The sales girl in the Utah office told me that Dr. Miller would be removing 80% of the fat cells around my midsection with the Tri-Sculp Liposuction. Dr. Miller didn't do this. In fact, other than a large scar across my pubic area, and the pits along my stomach area, I really don't know what he did. However, Dr. Miller did do an unauthorized procedure on my belly button. By the way, I wouldn't give them even half a star rating. Listen, the so-called licensed plastic surgeons with this company, I'm in Utah, don't do the job they were paid to do. The horrible reviews spread nationwide, fyi. They also don't do quality work. Save your money, go to some other company, but make sure to check the companies reviews so you don't get harmed or ripped off! read more

It's good place great costumer service best doctors and nurses . I love my new senobello body

Love the ladies at Sonobello! They take the tie to give you all of the info that you need and a big shout out o my girl Chandler for being the best. I love my Venus treatments and would totally go back! read more

Jessica was an amazing aesthetician and was by far my favorite. She was very personable, knowlegeable and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. She is great with the vellus laser and took the time to really address my concerns and adjust my treatment accordingly. I highly recommend her. read more

Great experience, Great staff, and they really made sure I was comfortable and all my questions and concerns taken care of. I got the results I wanted and felt super comfortable through the whole procedure. read more

My experience was great! The staff was friendly and available to answer questions or concerns.

I have a great experience at Sono Bello; from the first consultation to my 3 month follow up. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

This place is a complete scam. Not only you will not loose weight, you will get fatter I promise. They want the money upfront before they even do the procedure. I mean who does that. Save yourself a ton of money by avoiding this place like the plague. We paid $9000 and got nothing but pain and scars and not to mention weight gain. This place is a sham. Beware read more

They tell you what you want to hear and how much you are going to lose. Well it's all a lie and it doesn't work like they say it does. I got it done and they lied about what and where I was going to be losing weight and charged me double and a half of what they quoted me. I will never recommend anyone to go through Sonobello especially for what they charge you versus what they advertise. I have gained more weight after going through them than I did before my procedure. I followed everything they told me too and now I am not happy at all. So good luck to you all that go through them. I regret doing it and will never do it again... read more

My experience at Sonobello has been more than pleasant. The staff and Doctor are very kind and personable and Jessica is awesome!!

All tho pushed in the sales dep things sounded a lot better then what actually happened I would still do it again.

I've contemplated having these procedures done for the longest time. I finally had a consult and I'm excited to get it. Jessica was so calm and straight forward with all the information. Just what I needed to feel good about going forward with it. She has been beyond helpful and available with all my questions! read more

I just went for my six month post surgical check up at Sono Bello and I could not be more pleased with the results. Aside from the weight I have lost, Dr. Miller did an amazing job of contouring the areas I wanted done. The nurses and support staff are awesome, they are very friendly and helpful and you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and goals with them. I highly recommend Sono Bello! read more

My experience has been a nightmare from the beginning. Before my surgery I went to get my presciptions filled, the scripts weren't signed. I had to rush to get that taken care of b4 my surgery. They make the surgery seem so simple, it isn't. I paid for my upper and lower abdomen. I was told by the Dr that my gut would be 80% smaller. That didn't happen. I spent a very large amount for this procedure. I did all that I was suppose to. My gut did not go away!!! I'm beyond frustrated. For my 3 month appt, I expressed my frustration, the nurse's response was that this isn't a weight loss procedure. It was also her last day working for Sono Bello. So for my 6 month appt, I called to reschedule. I requested that the Dr needed to be present. I was unable to switch the day since I wanted the Dr to be there. I was told that his schedule was very booked. So I took last night off, I showed up today to be told that the Dr isn't in the office. I guess they tried to get a hold of me...yes, I did change my #. I missed work to be rescheduled, which is why I called to begin with. I'm so irritated...DO NOT GO THROUGH SONO BELLO FOR A PROCEDURE!!! The procedure doesn't work; if you're over your initial weight, they won't work with you. Most gain weight, thankfully I haven't. Don't waste your time or your money. read more

Everything was great all the nurses and doctors we're kind informative answered any and all questions that I had. The only thing that I'm kind of disappointed about is going into the procedure of the cocktail of medications didn't really kick into effect until my procedure was over I do believe that depending on each patient's and snow person is the same the cocktail needs to either be lower or higher for each individual depending on certain aspects of their body. Other than that it was great I've already lost weight and you know hopefully I continue to do so. read more

Twice I have scheduled to have a consultation and twice I have ran into actually finding there location without much assistance from their call center down to the actual facility. The first time I could not reach anyone. Being new to the area I am relying on using GPS maps. My second attempt I ran into finding several buildings but could not figure out their addresses walked into one and there were no sonobello signs (clearly I was in the wrong building) arriving 15 mins early as to find them and have time for any possible paperwork I would need to fill out again could not reach anyone to guide me. Called again where someone connected me to the location where the receptionist asked who I was instead of guiding me into their location she was more concerned about who I was then assisting me to their location. Remind you I'm sitting in a parking lot trying to locate them which how has me behind my appointment time. Who gives a crap about who I am, how about you help me get to you so I can my appointment. It's like some big secret or something??? I've read other reviews about experiences and I guess I may have just saved myself from uncertain results and bad experiences! Sandy Utah get your shit together!!! read more

I waited the full 3 months to write this review in order to try to be honest and fair. I went in to see a consultant about the laser lipo on my inner and outer thighs and my knees. I am not a big person. I have maybe 20 pounds to lose so I thought this would help me love my legs. The consultant was very nice but very pushy. I felt like she had me signing paperwork 5 minutes after I walked into her office. She showed me before and after pics of women who have had similar procedures and they looked great. So I signed on the dotted line and scheduled my surgery. I also paid $5600 dollars for the 3 areas to be done. I was nervous. I didn't sleep the night before and cried most of the night after reading review after review after review of unsatisfied customers that went to Sonobello. ( I know! I should've done my homework BEFORE I paid the money. Hind sight is 20-20!) The procedure was non-refundable so I had no choice at this point. I went to my scheduled appointment on May 1, 2018. The staff at Sonobello was AMAZING, this is the ONLY part of my experience that is a 5 star. You won't find nicer people in a doctor's office anywhere. Dr Avilla was AMAZING! He made sure I was comfortable and was very considerate. My nurse was the absolute best though I don't remember her name. I was immediately put at ease and thought maybe all the nasty reviews were just disgruntled customers for one reason or another. The surgery was quick and painless. No big deal. I only took Tylenol from the time I left there office for about the next 4 days. It was uncomfortable, I won't lie, especially to sleep but It wasn't horribly painful. It was manageable with OTC pain meds. I went back a week later for a post op appt. I had been put in a compression suit to wear 24-7 for the week from the surgery to the post op. It helped with pain and swelling and was quite comfortable. I was horrified to learn however that I was to wear the compression suit during the day for the next 3 months. Mind you it is summer time. The consultant I met with lied to me and told me that I would only have to wear it for 2 weeks post op at night. I was furious to say the least. I am a VERY active person. We camp, boat, hike, and do about every other outside summer activity you can think of. I am a mother of 5 boys, how can I not be active? I. Am. FURIOUS! Had I known this, I would've still scheduled the surgery but done it in the fall. Oh well right? What's done is done. So I wore the damn compression suit all summer. It runs from my ankles to just underneath my breasts. ITS HOT! I have my 3 month follow up in less than a week now. They told me it could take up to 3 months for full results. I have waited patiently. I won't lie and say NOTHING changed, but it was so EXTREMELY MINIMAL that no one but myself has noticed. You would think that on someone like me, who wasn't large to begin with, would've had better results. My legs are not by any stretch of the imagination thinner. My pants still fit the same. But there are SMALL pockets of fat in a all 3 areas that was SLIGHTLY reduced. Again, I am the ONLY one who noticed. My husband can't even tell a difference. I'm sure you can imagine how sick we both are over paying such a hefty price for little to nothing at all. Bottom line? Sonobello EXAGGERATES the results you will get, by A LOT! I do not completely blame them. I was the fool who made the ultimate decision. They didn't put a gun to my head. But. They took advantage of my desperation to have thin, pretty legs. There is not a quick fix people. NOTHING will work but good old fashioned exercise and diet, diet, diet. I am 5'8" and weigh 150 pounds. I thought that the procedure would be just the thing to help me finish losing that extra fat from having 5 babies. It didn't work. Don't make the same mistake I did. It is extremely costly and not worth it. Save your hard earned money and keep working on those areas in the gym and in your kitchen. You can do it! Don't throw away such a HUGE sum of money like I did. I am physically ill over the fact that I let my husband work so hard for that money and we have not benefited from the surgery like they promised I would. It's absolutely heart-breaking to me to watch him work so hard to repay the loan that I took out so foolishly. Don't do what I did! IT DOESN'T WORK! I really hope that I can save someone from making a mistake by writing this review. Because honestly, I am more pissed off at myself then I am at them. I should've known better. There is NO MAGIC way. Put in the work people! YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF! read more

This was the worst decision of my life! I hate my Body more than ever now thanks to you. And I owe $6000. The consultant wasn't even a Dr. and lied about everything. Also didn't point out the fact that after signing the documents, I would be stuck to have the procedure or lose a lot of money. It was deceitful and unprofessional. If you run a good,honest business, you shouldn't be worried about the truth and clients comparing Doctors. I am so unhappy and am working on social media reviews and looking into getting legal counsel. Women are already self conscious when they come into your office. You completely abuse that fact and lie about the possible outcome of the procedure creating false hopes. And to top it all off, you slip the documents under and have some beautiful person ( who obviously does not struggle with self esteem ) skip through the most important part of the contract. The follow up was with a nurse who was rude and didn't even let me talk to the Doctor. I am appalled and outraged at you. I hate your company and the way you do business!!! Dr Avila is rude and unprofessional.I have painful bumps and weigh more than ever before the procedure. Do not get sucked in to signing anything !!! Walk away and look for a real Dr. office with a surgeon. read more

The worst experience I ever had! First off, they don't put you to sleep so I kept feeling shocks and pain. They said you will be back to work in a couple days lol ya right couple weeks .. lose all feeling of the area worked on, nerve damage , I never had stretch marks on my stomach and they have some how scarred me with red bruises that look like damaged skin from the inside .. they left my iv in my arm, my husband had to remove it when I got home. The meds they gave me I had an allergic reaction to so I called the doc he treated me like I was drug seeking ! I ended up in the emergency room and had my first panic attack which to say I now have a couple a month ! The pain was the most painful in my life and I have had four kids, implants in mouth , gall bladder removed !! I did not see any positive results . Haven't lost one pound and I wish I would've read these comments and done more investigation on this company before I ruined my body. If you have fat please just use the money for a nutritionist or a personal trainer . You will actually save money that way and learn a permanent healthy life change !! Sono bello sucked out about 1.5 pounds of fat from my stomach and all it leaves you with is saggy skin and scars inside my skin not from the places they poked through but from him brutally jabbing and jabbing under neath my skin !! The pain alone is not worth it and they lie lie lie about down time, results, and pain .. read more

I had a TERRIBLE experience with Dr Miller. (READ THIS STORY) I had several areas done last year costing nearly $10k which took years of great sacrifice to save. I went in with realistic expectations, and left with horrible disappointment down the road. I have areas larger on one side than others, missed areas, etc and I still have some pain and narly scars that remind me of this whole ordeal, haunting me almost every day of my life. Although only slightly slender in some not all areas, I am still wearing the same clothing size, lost only 7lbs, and not one person even noticed a difference in me. Sadly you are required to pay their insurance which covers re-dos. Amy (initial sales rep), made it sound so easy, she stated if you need any touch up work or are not happy, we can just touch it up, not a problem. I did everything they asked me to do (ate & massaged well), they said I healed, retracted, and my areas felt better than they were expecting. At my 6 mo visit, they still denied me the needed touch ups. I did NOT even gain weight, infact I had lost a few lbs, which they seemed shocked about. Other reviews complain of warranty being voided due to gaining weight, well I didn't and they still denied me! As soon as you mention to Dr Miller you are not happy, he becomes irritated, upset, and a "hot head"....rude and unprofessional. The meeting started with his usual talkative spill (more like a standard lecture he tells everyone, pretending to be your friend, speaking so much and leaving no time for the patient to put many words in) which left me irritated and undressed still as I patiently and kindly waited for my turn to speak almost a half hour later... I was very cooperative and kind during our meeting, did not yell at him, I only emotionally expressed my concerned areas at the very end, and my concerns overall that they didn't take me serious and had their minds made up for NO re-dos from the start. He literally snapped 360 degrees when I told him I was not happy, then became: irritated, childish, snappy with me, and really unprofessional throwing everything back onto me. I never in my life have heard or seen Dr act like he did. I highly doubt they even do re-dos as he had an excuse for every area I showed him. They stated they took the same out in both sides, etc... Well it happened unevenly because my body looks weird now and this should be a good reason for a touch up right? BEWARE, Insurance is a fraud; BEWARE, they don't care nor follow up, when they know you are upset and unhappy; BEWARE, Dr Miller (although board cert) is unprofessional & rude; BEWARE, you will waste your money on this smart-lipo procedure; BEWARE Unless you work really hard eating well and exercising harder than ever like I did, most likely you will gain your weight back within the year as its very easy to do; BEWARE, you will have lots of visible scars and your body will look weird: BEWARE, you will be haunted almost every day of your life every time you see yourself in the mirror or look at the scars on your body. Don't do lipo, I'm not even sure I would recommend this procedure even with a good Dr at another location. Really Diet and Exercise is the only thing that works, If you can't conquer this now, there is no way you will be happy with this procedure as you will gain the weight back over time. This might work for a skinny size 0-8 person who has a tiny bump? I was one of their smaller patients they said?? (avg, sz 14, still sz 14). Lets not forget, I wasted $10k, in which paid for scars, a weird body, and treated very unprofessional, thus feeling very ripped off for the rest of my life! This experience wouldn't be worth it even at no-cost. SONO BELLO & Dr Miller, remember we are human, our bodies, appearance, and feelings are important to US. You are ruining people's lives. Re-think your policies and procedures or the bad reviews will just keep coming in. I am sure there are so many out there who have had the same experience and are afraid to speak out, as it took me quite some time & courage myself. read more
