I had my 1ST Venus session today and it was amazing! Kelly was the technician that did my treatment and I was so comfortable and it feels so nice I almost fell asleep. Everyone I've come in contact with has been very friendly and professional. I feel like I'm heading to spa, Morgan is awesome, and I love are little chats and then I have my treatment. And people keep asking if I'm losing weight, all from having the Venus treatment to my chin/neck area. I'm already putting away my change for having another area treated. And what's nice is it is affordable and no down time, like at all. read more

For the girl or guy who is scared to get liposuction at this clinic: Yesterday I had liposuction done by doctor Perez at the Tacoma clinic. Waist, hips, and full abdomen. I cannot stress how well I feel this procedure went. Like anyone I looked at the reviews before I booked the surgery and was SPOOKED. The recent reviews are filled with bad experiences. So when I called Liz to schedule my procedure (after she chit chatted with me about a trip I had just been on) I let her know my worries and concerns and the amount of reassurance that woman gave me was astounding. She let me know that most people with good experiences don't leave reviews so I'm here to do just that. Not only is the whole team that worked on me so amazing and friendly, but they walked me through every last silly little question the whole way through with zero annoyance or frustration. And boy did I have a LOT. During the procedure they played the kind of music I wanted to listen to and allowed me to have my face covered with glasses on so I wouldn't have to see what was going on upon request. All that to say this is not a completely painless procedure, BUT it is only in the beginning with the numbing. It was the equivalent of getting numbed up at the dentist just a bit longer and on your stomach haha. Some spots were more uncomfortable than others but all completely bearable. You truly are getting what you pay for when you decide on sono bello. I will update 3 months from now when I'm less swollen and more healed, but as of right now I am beyond happy with the procedure and it gives me confidence that everything will heal wonderfully. read more

Avoid Laser Lipo at this clinic--it is a complete waste of money and caused permanent damage. What they call "body sculpting" is more like body butchering. Dr. Perez removed too much fat from the wrong area, leaving a visible divot in my thigh that was never there before. The procedure resulted in lumpy, saggy skin with no tightening whatsoever. When I brought this to her attention, Dr. Perez admitted the divot was caused by the surgery. However, instead of taking responsibility, she insisted the only way to fix it would be to take fat from another part of my body to fill in the defect--and then charged me an additional $2,500 to correct her own error. read more

I made an appointment for 10:30. When I arrived, I was give a dozen of pages to fill out that included a list of my medications. I don't memorize the names and the doses. And these questions could have been easily mailed to me before my appointment. I sat there for an hour with ZERO communication about why my appointment was so behind schedule (after all...it was a sales call). After 11:30, I told the receptionist that I was leaving. I received no follow up communication. I figured if this office was run so poorly, I really didn't want them cutting into me. read more

My first appointment was with Brooke. Brooke is awesome. She made my initial appointment easy going and comfortable. Then was the post-op appointment where you actually see the doctor. Not only did he criticize me for how big I was or how much fat I have (which is why i was there in the first place) but he laughed at me and made fun of me. He laughed at me because my daughter sent me her proscription of weight lose injectables so I could get bellow the required weigh. I was told that I had to be 276 pounds or less in order to be considered for the procedure. He also made me feel very uncomfortable, because he kept talking about all of the complications that could or may happen. I canceled my procedure that same day when I got home. So in total, the office staff, Brooke, the nurses, are all fantastic to work with. Lots of smiles, very kind. The doctor on the other hand needs to learn better bedside manners. We know we're fat, that's why we're coming to you. read more

Sono Bello TV ads are very misleading. I was "sucked in" and now I'm very dissatisfied. You're under the impression that you will get quick results. No mention of the EXTREMELY PAINFUL PROCEDURE, performed with minimal pain relief. (I was in tears during the entire procedure) I never expected this, and no one counseling me prepared me for this. Every technician was kind, and explained the procedure, but not one informed me of what was to come. In addition, I'm required to wear a garment that is so tight, I can barely breathe at night. It's recommended I wear it constantly. PLUS, I learned it will take a year before I MIGHT see results. In addition, they charged $17,000.00. Seventeen Thousand Dollars! Biggest regret of my life. read more

Worst experience ever. Woke up During procedure. Results not good. Waste of money. Never made things right. Have anxiety every time I see their commercial. read more

I did not have a procedure done, but my friend did and I find myself in the waiting room. Blasting inappropriate music really loud and very unprofessional staff. This is not a good look. I would never have any procedure done here. The unprofessionalism is astounding. read more

So... I want to preface this by saying I'm only on my 4th day post op. I gotta say, I did jump into this kind of fast and didn't do much research. This resulted in many panic attacks once I actually had the surgery and saw the negative reviews and results AFTER I already had the surgery. But so far.... so good (knock on the wood). As you can see, I still have a lot of swelling and bruising. My skin has yet to tighten up and I just started the healing process. I am REALLY hoping I don't get a bunch of lumps and bumps like a lot of other customers said they got. I plan on giving myself lymphatic massages starting 2 weeks post op to help prevent that. To start with, my consultation and pre op was lovely. Everyone was so kind and fairly honest. The actually surgery.... weird. I didn't hurt per say, but you're awake and you realize that there are rods being inserted in you. BUT the next two days hurt like hell. And add on top of that the constipation and bloating that comes from the oxy you take. Now on the 4th day, things are settling down and I'm starting to return to normal life. I'm really hoping the end result is worth it. PLEASE NOTE: all the indentations and marks are from the compression garment. read more

Sono Bello - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

After $22,000 cash upfront for an Ab/ex and lipo I was left with a "skirt" of skin that hangs over my scar, and painfully deformed lady parts.I noticed the extra skin over the scar the first time I removed the gauze over my scar and was told every single time I pointed it out, "...that's fluid...it will go away...you are just swollen...you need to wait six months to heal...it will be fine...it's fluid...you are swollen... vitamin C serum would have fixed that". I assessed fluid retention in patients 8 times a day for six years and I know the difference between fluid and flesh. Yet I believed them. I wore two bindings to cover from under my breasts to over my pubic bone 24/7 for six straight months. That is double work almost double time. I was constantly shut down no matter what I complained about, inquired about and raised concerns about. I kept hoping things would improve. I was told right before surgery that I wouldn't be able to have all the work done because of medical restrictions on lidocaine dosages. I told the RN and surgeon that I have woken up in the middle of every surgery I have had and that at the dentist I need double the dose of lidocaine and double the time to absorb. "You will be fine, EVERYONE says that!" I asked if I should only do part of the procedures. "This will be quick...you will be fine." Well, I had a reaction to something and my body was restless, I couldn't control it. They kept shouting at me to stay still. People were in and out of the surgical suite socializing like it was coffee hour. I was in pain. I moved and the surgeon injected the fat melting liquid mixture at the same time and it felt like I had fire burning a hole through my body. The surgeon shouted at me to stay still and said that might leave a permanent dent, which it did and later said vitamin c serum would have fixed that. Well, there is nothing left under that dent but fascia. Nothing will go under the skin, not fat not fluid. It is a permanent dent above my bellybutton. My reactions of movement and pain continued. The surgeon shouted at me to keep still, asked if I had restless legs and said she wouldn't be able to finish the procedure because by that time I could feel what I thought was her cutting into my lower abdomen. She was stitching and I could feel it! She said she couldn't give me more lidocaine. I think I was crying at that point. She finally said to give me more lidocaine. Then had to have RN's help pull up my skin from the part on either side of your mons and labia and between thighs and right above mons so she could stitch me closed. It felt like someone pulling really hard upwards like putting on a pair of tighter than skin tight jeans. Including the yanking! Several times. The skin is SO tight between my legs at the side of my labia and the sides of my mons that it feels like it will rip! Even when I am walking! It is very painful. This is a year and a half later! My scar is painful! I want to cry every time I see myself in the mirror. I want to cry every time I lay flat or move in a way that stretches the skin and makes it feel like it's going to rip in two. I am constantly reminded about what happened to me and how I look. I am ashamed of my body like I have never been in my life. I was retaining fluid around my bellybutton two inches outward completely circling it. I tried to see the surgeon about this and it took over two months. In the end she said it was an internal issue and to see a GI specialist! She never even felt my abdomen, ever. The last thing she said to me about all of it was, "That's where the vitamin C serum would have helped." She didn't remove the skin she needed to because the lidocaine wasn't effective and I was in pain. She said she didn't have time to so it, she didn't have enough time to remove all the skin and move my bellybutton. My full review is too long to post. Don't go there. Surgical errors, procedure coverups, no proper pre surgical patient education about the sudden restrictive stricter than Keto diet you will go on once you walk out the door. This caused health problems for me including Keto Flu and dropping weight too fast. I was only allowed meat and vegetables and lots of water. I did that and ended up malnourished and too thin too fast- while trying to heal, patient shaming, injury, and I was left looking hideous despite being an overachiever patient. I want to cry every time I see myself in a mirror or get dressed and undressed.It's been a year and a half. I will never be able to wear anything that shows above my pubic bone to an inch and a half below my breast bine. Everything from below my bikini line to my ribs is damaged, painful and hideous. It looks like I had three sets of twins and was sliced in half above my pubic bone. My skin sags and hangs over my scar. Below my scar and between my legs my skin is so tight it hurts and feels like it will rip in half. I post to help but fear retribution from them. read more

This was a living nightmare. First, you have to know that Sono Bello does not care about you, only your money. I had a change of hart (physically, emotionally, financially, and principally) and seriously did not want to go through with my procedure. I plead my case to multiple people and the best they would offer was to credit the large amount of money i paid for use of their non-invasive procedures instead(researching those showed that they have little to no effect). So i went through with the procedure purely because I didn't want to waste my money. Now, I wish I had just taken the loss. The procedure was the worst experience of my life. It was so painful. I spent the whole time crying, squeezing a stress ball as tight as i could, and trying not to curse, since the surgeon had the audacity to threaten to stop the procedure if i continued to curse--this would result in my body looking deformed. So I held back which just caused the pain to be more acute. This is a procedure that a person should really be sedated for. Instead they pump your tummy full of numbing fluid that only partially numbs the areas they work on, hence the pain, then you spend the next 2-3 days having that fluid leak out. Additionally, the procedure room seemed less than sanitary with a ton of cords running across the floor and plugged into a rusty power strip. They also tell you that it's less invasive than the standard liposuction procedure you would get somewhere else. Well, I'd hate to try those, because this was extremely invasive and painful. If you watch video of the standard liposuction procedure, you'll find this is exactly the same. They stick a wand inside and just jam it around. At least the standard one you get to be sedated. Now i'm left traumatized and ashamed. I can only hope that the treated area looks good after everything heals, which the paperwork they give you after the procedure says might take a YEAR--it's so nice of them to tell you this afterward and not before. Sono Bello is just another corporation with no empathy or conscience and only out for your money. The only positive i can convey is the nursing staff were fantastic. If after reading this you still decide to go forward with sono bello, i recommend scheduling your pre-op appointment closer to you procedure date--once you are approved for surgery at the pre-op, you can no longer cancel without forfeiting the money you paid. This is why they scheduled mine a month prior. read more

I am very disappointed with this company. On March 25, 2023 I went to a free consultation. At the end of the consultation the individual asked if I would like to see if I qualified for credit. She explicitly stated it was a soft search and would not affect my credit. At this information I said sure. She then informed me that I qualified for credit. I said I would talk it over with my spouse to consider. Yesterday I was researching some fraudulent activity through the credit bureaus only to discover that I had a new credit account. I chased down the credit account and realized Sono Bello created a credit account in my name WITHOUT my authorization. Let me be really clear, these tactics are misleading, and highly unethical. I saw the exact same complaint of another Sono Bello elsewhere in this country so this seems to be a systemic problem versus a one time error. If this company is willing to deceptively create credit accounts without patient authorization and/or knowledge it truly makes me wonder in what other ways and areas this company is further being deceptive. Trust is paramount and you have lost mine completely. Shame on you as a company. read more

I emailed the person below who responded to my review and of course I DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE. Sono Bello is TRASH It took me writing this review for the office to call me. The lady offered to get me in right away to have it fixed. I would NEVER let anyone from this business touch my body again!! After the botched lipo job i received and the TERRIBLE customer service. I want my money back read more

Sono Bello - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I am not happy at all! They made a mistake for what I paid for and asked if they can correct it for free ! Fist v I was in the room for over 1.5hr and then when I came in for se surgery I waited over 1hr not to mention they offered me coupon for my first wait and I still don't see the mistake they fixed! Not to mention I missed so much days and pay from my job!! read more

Sono Bello in Tacoma is amazing. They have the best customer service, are very caring, and do everything they can to make sure you feel taken care of. Dorothy made me feel very comfortable at my consult and I was very nervous and self-conscious. There was no pressure. The front desk staff are always so cheerful and welcoming. Each time I go in they know me by name. Actually, all the staff there are amazing. They are upbeat and not at any time made me feel self-conscious. I had to reschedule my appointment due to being ill, the day before! I was so disappointed, but the staff understood, and was more concerned about me getting better. After my procedure I was a day early for a checkup and the staff was already off work about to leave, stayed late to check me to make sure everything was going well. The staff there truly care about you and go over and beyond. Dr. Perez is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. She walks you through everything and during the procedure her and her team are there to help you feel comfortable. A few days after she checked in on me while she was on vacation! Again, they truly care. To me the procedure felt like getting Botox. A bit uncomfortable at times. You can definitely tell which areas have more fat! Seeing the fat, they got was an eye opener. It was a great jump start to my healthier more active lifestyle. I love the staff at Sono Bello. Follow the instructions, do what they say, and you will be very happy with your results. I am now down 30 pounds. Thank you Sono Bello for helping me love who I am again. You truly are the best! read more

My experience at the Sono Bello clinic in Tacoma, Washington was fantastic. The ambiance when you first walk-in is very calm, comforting and professional. Located in a gorgeous building, the office itself made me feel at ease the moment I walked in for my appointment. I scheduled an appointment with the Front Desk coordinator, Janelle, who was so perky and friendly! She was efficient with checking me in, providing me with the paperwork and offered me a beverage while I was waiting. She had a great smile too and for being the first face you see when you walk into Sono Bello, it was a pleasant check-in experience and great first impression. A few minutes after, I met with Liz, the sales consultant. Liz is outstanding -- she knew exactly what I wanted based on the needs expressed, asked questions to determine my level of comfort and more importantly, what my goals were. I was concerned about working with a sales professional first before speaking to the actual doctor, but I can confidently say that Liz knows her stuff! She was able to paint the picture, in detail, of the procedure, recovery process and payment options. Examples of before/after were shown to me, as well as all necessary charts and more. My main concern was how quick recovery time was as I work a large amount of hours per week -- she assured me that the recovery was quick and gave me all the information I needed to schedule around the procedure. The medical staff at Sono Bello in Tacoma is also top notch and extremely professional. Dr. Barthel and Nurse Shellie made my pre-op meeting a pleasant experience. I was educated on the procedure, the medication and more. The process from pre-procedure and post-procedure was explained to me in detail and also in a way that related to my lifestyle/job. Knowing who your doctor is before the procedure put me at ease 100% -- I'm sure a lot of prospective clients don't realize that they get to meet their doctor beforehand, so this was definitely great to know. Thumbs up to the entire Sono Bello clinic in Tacoma! From beginning to end, the process was a great experience. I would highly recommend their services for anyone wanting body contouring. The team is truly worth their weight in gold and whether you're nervous to inquire for a procedure or have been contemplating doing so, ask for Janelle and Liz and they will take fantastic care of you. read more

Very nice and comforting. This was scary for me and they made it easy and ok. Before during and especially now after. They are there every step of the way..... it's a journey, but a wonderful one. 2 weeks out. Pain and swelling Much better... not going to lie, the healing hurts a bit but....holy crap!!! Best $ investment in Me ever. Go for it! The surgery is nothing!!!! Staff is amazing. Kielly, McKenna and staff awesome. Oh and last but not least Dr. Sobrino! Thank you All. read more

Eventhough I was unable to have the procedure, it was a very good experience. They were concerned with my BP as it was very high at the preop and recommended I see my doctor first. It was the right call and they refunded my payment on the spot. Very professional and actually put my health first. read more

Don't do it. I spent nearly $9k and ended up with a bumpy stomach. It looks horrible. I was told to use a dough roller after surgery which I did and it didn't work. Now, 2 years post op, I'm looking for a surgeon to do a tummy tuck because this looks horrendous. read more

I would highly recommend avoiding this place. The front staff in unfriendly and indifferent, while that's not important it speaks to what else was wrong. During my lipo I could feel everything and it was a 9/10 on the pain scale and the Dr wouldn't stop or give more medication to numb the area. I told him and he kept going. My after results were uneven and not contoured and the entire experience was awful. read more

I feel like I wasted 7 thousand dollars. I have lumps in my skin. Updated review: After I posted my concerns online, I was immediately contacted by the staff about them. They were helpful and offered to set up a meeting to address the issues. read more

Good results. Brutal scarring. Wish patients had the option to be put to sleep as it is rather painful.

I must say, the experience with the pre-operative staff of Sono Bello was very reassuring, answering any question I might have and making sure I understood the process. Dr. Bullis was a saint during my procedure and it was fantastic! I am happy to report, he is a artistic perfectionist and made sure I was as happy with the results as he proceeded through each stage of the process, always making sure the areas in which he was working were complete. The whole experience is amazing, seeing the results at each level and knowing your are in the best operative care. Thank you to Dr. Bullis and Liz for making every effort to keep me comfortable and content. I had my first combination of procedures in late April and my second set of procedures in August. I could not be happier with the results each day. Thank you to all of the staff at Sono Bello. read more

DONT DO IT!!!!! I spent over 8,000.00 for my Back, arms, and legs- I lost 48 pounds and was not happy with my body after, watched the commercials that are so misleaded (I now know) So I went in for consult, was told I would look like this and I paid the deposit-(non refundable) scheduled my appointment - met with the doctor and instead of telling me that I probably should have skin removal surgery-He made my situation even worst! I'm so sad with the results and left with 8,000.00 out, and a contract that states if I'm not happy they will do it again for a year? What kind of place gives a re-do when it only made it worst, and I would go back for it again....Never! read more

I am still of Total Disappointment of This Sono Bello!! what was stated the outcome will look as....The second the cover was removed The Huge Lumps & total lumps!!!! The cost was ....Like paying a witch Dr.! There No Doctors!! When I went back for follow up I asked If it's Normal to have this BIG LUMP?? ( Lf side) they said....it should go away???? Hmmmm several years LATER!!! Guess what??still A BIG LUMP!!!! I stated they need to fix it!! was told I will have to pay for it... Me pay for there screw up!!!! Lumps & Bumps!!!! People go to professionals!! Not only lumps out of your wallet $$$$$$ taken.... and reminders of a Horrible Botched Liposuction hacked procedure !!! I can't wear swimwear & the lumps are embarrassing!!! Thanks SB!!! read more

I had a virtual consultation on 5/8/2020 with Victoria. Victoria advised of the promotional offer of 40% for the Venus sculpting, I paid a deposit and was scheduled for 6/4. I received a text that due to COVID-19 they were pushing appointments out to July, which I was fine with. Imagine my surprise when they charged my CC on 6/4 even though I wasn't there and their office was closed to patients! I called and spoke to someone in the office and was told it was caught in the local office but not in billing and they would take care of it. I called again 6/8 and left a message, no replies so I called again 6/10 and advised if I did not received a call back I would dispute charges. This is when Victoria came back into the picture stating if they refunded my monies I would also forfeit the promotion. I asked Victoria why and she advised they would no longer consider me a virtual patient! Where does this make any sense. I still wanted to get the procedure in July and pay at the time of my visit. She basically wanted to hold my money hostage and try to convince me this was the best deal. Needless to say after several texts and then finally advising my attorney would look at the contract, she offered a full refund. I really wanted this procedure but couldn't see paying for something I hadn't started, I would have gladly waited until July and paid at that time. read more

Had an appointment this morning so I headed out to pick up the future patient than started our way to tacoma. On the road 30 min out of my actual appointment time I receive a call that they need to reschedule my appointment window because the consultation ahead of mine is running 30 min late. 1. Tell the doctor to learn to read time. 2 if a future patient is asking a lot of repetitive questions advise them that to further assist them and not put other patients out they need to schedule more time with them at a later date or let them know they can wait. ( not tell me I can come in but wait an additional 30 which means 1.5) 3. When I say email me the names of the staff members that waited 30 min prior to my appointment to decided to cancel my appointment I suggest you do it right away. If you are a part of a doctors team you know what they are able to handle and what they can't. When I know my doctor is 15 min behind I know that means an hour for the rest of the day. Complete and utter disrespect for people's time. read more

1. They give you so much meds, I didn't even remember getting home. 2. You never see the same person twice- nothing like getting naked in from of a different staff member every time you go there. 3. second apt is a total waste of time - all they do is sell you compression garments. The company they use makes you be home and sign for the package but you have no way of knowing when it will arrive - they use some BS company that when it missed delivery on Friday morning, refused to redeliver until Monday. The tag they left on the door, had no phone number to contact, no address to pick up package at. SO messed up! Now I stuck wearing this garment meant for someone 6 ft tall for the rest of the weekend. 4. Last apt, some woman, who could not be bothered to introduce herself, dressed up like she was heading to the nearest nightclub, in high heels, mini skirt and more makeup than I have ever seen, wasted my time - didn't weight in, didn't write down measurements, just tried to sell me garments. 5. Wasted money on the back bra rolls - no change there. Same woman in told me, and I quote, "we don't promise overnight results". SO rude. 6. Those commercials where women said they did this on their lunch hour or went back to work the next day - definitely did not have lipo. I could not even put on shoes or tie them for a week, mid section was so sore and bruised. Would I do this again - HELL NO. Would I recommend anyone do this - Double Hell NO!! read more

I can't believe this Sonobello isn't rated higher! I had an ideal experience with my procedure. I had lipo done on my upper and lower abs, waist and below the bra line and found this entire process to exceed my expectations! The staff is great. Very knowledgeable, friendly, funny... I had wonderful results and would recommend them to everyone I know! read more

I haven't had my "Procedure" yet, but everything leading up to the day has been sensational. From the front desk staff to the consultation ( shout out to Jennifer) and just the friendly atmosphere is very soothing and confidant.

Today was my first visit to a cosmetic/ plastic surgery assessment appointment. I have a 50th high school reunion coming up and my son's California wedding! Of course I want to look my best! I was greeted by a warm professional staff. Then my assessment/evaluation with Liz. Liz was awesone! She was totally courteous and professional. She made me feel very safe and comfortable while looking at my problem areas I wanted to have contoured, I never felt rushed. She listened very carefully to my wishes and took time to explain the procedure beginning to end. What a very competent professional. Thanks Sono Bello. Louise S. Lakewood, WA read more

I had liposuction over a year ago and the results were lumpy and bumpy. I've gone in for many checkups and all they tell me is keep waiting keep waiting will look at it well it's been a year I went in for my last consultation and they told me this give it some more time. This is the absolute worst experience I've ever had I would never ever ever recommend sonobello to anyone. read more

I visited Sono Bello in Bellevue not sure of what to expect, just the idea of going in there was intimidating enough. The friendly and welcoming way I was greeted by the staff really help me feel comfortable while waited for my consultation. By the end of the consultation, I was sure I wanted to move forward with the procedure, all my questions were answered and it didn't feel like a marketing pitch. From the pre-op appointment to the first follow up, I really appreciate the charisma of the staff members, from the front desk to the nurses and special thanks to the nurse who took care of me during the procedure Theresa and Dr. Sobrino who managed to make feel comfortable in a situation where physically was uncomfortable. To top it of, being able to speak to the Dr. Sobrino in Spanish it was great! Thank You ALL. Now I just have to get through the healing process and enjoy the results. read more

I went into my appointment today for my 7 week post op for a neck and lower face lift. All I can say is "WOW" I am so pleased, the results are actually better than I had ever expected!! In comparing the before and after pictures I nearly cried with joy! I was a little apprehensive in the beginning about going to Sono Bello, although I wanted to do my due diligence and speak with them first before I ruled them out. Much to my surprise, the staff was friendly, professional, and most importantly they listened to me closely and delivered what I requested. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience for me, thank you to all of the staff at Sono Bello Tacoma. read more

Has some serious work done and it turned out beautifully. Is it perfect? Not even close but, considering how my stomach, waist, and back looked before, it looks stellar. I am very pleased with the results and will be going back. The doctor was an older gentleman who was very stoic and kinda sweet. I immediately liked him. The nurses were all very kind and the lady who saw me for my last check in was a peach. I am sure there are people that don't do their research, have unreasonable expectations, and are naive. The truth is that this is an improvement, not a cure. Yes, it was uncomfortable and yes, there was some pain but three months out, I look amazing and it was worth it. So, kudos to the Sono Bello of Tacoma. I am totally a fan! Hugs to you. read more

The staff was amazing! I've never had anything like this done and had never even broken a bone in my body. So I was extremely scared going into this not knowing if it would be painful or not. Liz was great at making me feel extremely comfortable. The Drs and nurses were super nice and calming. The results so far are looking amazing. I kind of wish I would have done another area lol. The recovery wasn't bad at all. I was back at the gym in 2-3 days. During the procedure at times it actually tickled lol. I definitely recommend if you have those tough spots that won't go away! read more

UPDATE: Dr. Marten and Sono Bello have changed my life! I was told this weekend by a total stranger that I was breath taking and voluptuous! I have not had that kind of reaction since I was in my 20's (I am almost 50 now) and I am only 4 weeks post op. I had the second stage of my procedure today and actually cried tears of joy when I got home and saw the results. Dr. Marten is a true artist and has given me back something that I thought was gone. I look and feel better about myself now more than ever. I will forever be grateful to everyone at Tacoma Sono Bello!!! read more

The staff at this location it is amazing. They make you feel welcome from the very beginning. The girls at the front desk are so friendly and fun to talk to you. my initial appointment with the consult was amazing. She was very upbeat and being me feel great about myself and my current skin. There was no high pressure sales feeling at all. She gave me the time i needed to make the right decision for me. Obviously i decided to go through with the laser liposuction procedure. I was very nervous the day of the surgery but the doctor and nurse are amazing. They made me feel very comfortable and at ease with the procedure. The follow up calls are great too. Overall this has been a fabulous experience and i would recommend it to anyone! read more
