I went to Sono Bello about a month ago to do a body sculpt using laser assisted lipo. I have always had love handles ever since I was a child. I was a chubby little kid even though I played sports & lifted weights. I could never get rid of the love handles no matter how much I exercised or dieted so I decided to do something about it and went to Sono Bello in Tampa. They all were absolutely amazing from from the very beginning. Lana at the front desk was extremely friendly and helped me get checked in at the front desk for my consultation with Michelle who was very nice and cheerful and answered all my questions. I wanted to get the procedure done immediately but had to wait until I met with Dr. Azharian. I came back and met with Dr Azharian to go over any final questions then scheduled my procedure for the very next day. The procedure took a few hours and once it was completed I got a sneak peek at the results; I could not believe it but the love handles were actually gone!! I went home and slept it off, then the next day I pretty much didn't leave the bed. I was very sore from the procedure but they told me it was to be expected. That lasted for several days until I was able to take 1 of the 'binders' off me. After my 1 week follow up I was able to switch to less restrictive garments which was such a relief!! The original compression garments are not comfortable but they do keep the swelling down & help minimize the bruising. It has been a few weeks since then and I am still in the second faze garments and cannot wait until I have the body I had always dreamed of. I am currently on a low carb diet, shedding pounds and hope to get to my desired weight soon, which cannot come soon enough since summer & beach time is right around the corner. Maybe this year I will be able to take my wife & son to the beach & actually take my shirt OFF this time. I am so glad my wife helped convince me to change my the body I hated into one that I will love and I am forever indebted to Sono Bello for making that happen. Thank you Sono Bello for helping me look how I have always wanted to. read more

I consider myself a fit person; I regularly workout through cardio exercises (3-4 times a week) and am cautious about the foods I eat. I had dealt with a "problem area" on my lower abdomen for approximately two years. No matter how many additional minutes, miles, or crushes I performed, I never saw my lower stomach area shrink. I found out about SonoBello through various advertisements on Facebook and other means and decided to research them. Overall, I saw great results through pictures and read pretty convincing testimony from clients. I had an appointment on June 13, 2014 and it was the best decision I made for a body transformation. Firstly, the Tampa office, from initiation to completion, had been more than accommodating, friendly, and understanding with my needs. Everyone (Yahaira and Mike [front desk], Nicole [consult], Noelle and Tanya [nurses], and Dr. Azharian) is always in good spirits when I visit; plus they even know me by name. Nicole did a great job informing about the procedure, expectations (pre and post op), and pricing all in one consultation. I agreed to proceed with the procedure and requested a date that was convenient for me (June 30). On the day of my procedure, Noelle and Dr. Azharian again were extremely accommodating in ensuring that I was comfortable for the procedure. It was quick and painless. I don't recall feeling any vertigo or pain at all. I had used vacation time that week for the procedure, but could've really returned to work on the third day. I had no issues or complications at any time post-procedure. My follow up appointment was the following week with Tanya; again, her personality and knowledge was consistent with the rest of the office. She inspected my stomach area and wanted to ensure I was healing properly - which it was. It has been three weeks since I had my SonoBello procedure and I'm so thrilled with my results. My stomach is flat and I feel great! Again, best decision I've made to date. read more

My experience at Sono Bello Tampa was more than perfect. I felt welcomed the second I walked into the door for my consultation. They were more than accommodating to my schedule and needs. Jahira at the front desk is very personable and welcoming. Nicole does a great job explaining everything and making sure you understand every aspect of what you want done. She is not pushy and leaves the decision up to you on your own time, which is how it should be. I did not feel pressured at all. Rainey, the office manager is very caring and wants to make sure you have a great experience. The nurses were also very informative and are there for you. Heidi was my nurse in surgery and I couldn't have asked for a better nurse. She was there talking me through every step and made sure I was comfortable the whole time, even down to holding my hands to make them warm because I was very cold! She made my surgery a breeze. Dr. Rademaker was also extremely informative as well as precise. He was also talking me through the surgery which made me feel even more comfortable. After surgery when I came back for one week appt. Jessica was my nurse and she was just delightful. She still is every time I go in! She really makes sure you are healing properly and makes sure you know what will be happening to you your body as well. She's very bubbly and definitely an asset to Sono Bello Tampa! As scary as this surgery sounds, it truly is not especially with the team at Sono Bello Tampa there for you. I couldn't have asked for a better staff to take care of me and I would recommend Sono Bello, particularly Tampa location to anyone who has every had a negative thought about their self image and wants to change it! Thank you. read more

At home! That's exactly how the staff at Sonobello of Tampa has made me feel from day 1. After lots of frustration over a body part that I've struggled with for a very long time I made the decision to have smart lipo on my arms. This would be my first procedure/surgery EVER so I was beyond nervous but not once have I felt like a bother or as though my concerns were being dismissed. My surgeon, Dr. Singer had the most amazing best side manner. She was attentive and sweet and made me feel as though her first priority was to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Not to mention she did a great job with the procedure itself. I immediately saw a difference and everyday I see more symmetry in my overall appearance. I had minimal discomfort after my procedure and everything went as expected. The front desk staff, Mike and Yahaira, have been such a pleasure and are always positive and helpful just like my consultant Nicole whose got that reassuring and strong personality you need if you're having second thoughts. She will quickly put you at ease. A special thanks to Jaime, my aesthetician who is providing my Venus Freeze therapy sessions and makes me feel like I get a spa treatment once a week, lol. The treatments are already helping with the fluid buildup. I'm so happy I decided to go to Sonobello, they take great care of their patients and I am so excited to see the final results of my procedure. Thanks for everything! read more

I've always hated my hips and thighs. No matter how much exercise and dieting I've done, my hips and thighs wouldn't go anywhere. One night after watching a commercial for Sonobello, I started doing my research. The procedure seems non invasive and the cost friendly than any other type of liposuction. After a week of research, I decided to call for a consultation. After that, I fell in love with the place and the people. Starting with my consultant, Nicole who was friendly and answered my questions honestly. She also helped me find a great deal with the pricing for my procedure. I was so happy and comfortable with my consultation that I scheduled my laser lipo for my hips, waist, outer thigh and banana roll right on the spot. Dr. Azharian and her staff were extremely friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. It's only been 3 weeks since my procedure, even though I still have some swelling, I can see the results. I can't wait until my 3 month appointment to compare my before and after photo. I'm now starting the Venus Freeze procedure and Yahaira and Jamie were extremely friendly and informative about the Venus Freeze, Venus Legacy, and Velashape. All the staff I encountered during my time there, were all friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the services Sonobello offers to anyone that wants to make a change forever. Thank you Sonobello!!! read more

I kept seeing Television advertisements about Sono Bello through various channels on my lunch break. I decided to call the Sono Bello center in Tampa, Fl. to ask some questions. I made an appointment to come in for a free consultation. I was so impressed with the office setting. The moment you walk in the office of Sono Bello, you are welcomed with the professionalism of the staff right away. The staff are very friendly, professional, courteous and attentive in making sure you feel comfortable in their presence. I had been dissatisfied with my body structure and the way it had changed over the last year and I wanted some help for motivation. I decided to go through the procedure and make the change in my life. Of course I was a little nervous, but everyone was so nice and calm to reassure you that everything is going to be fine. My doctor and who, I highly recommend for the procedure was Dr. Gerzenshtein better known in the Tampa office as (Dr."G"). I would like to commend the excellent customer service and the professionalism to the Sono Bello staff in Tampa and my props go to: Nicole, Tanya, Christina, Stephanie, Yahaira, and last but not least, the main attraction Dr. Gerzenshtein. I am so happy I decided to make a life changing decision to help improve Myself for Myself through Sono Bello and.. I FEEL AND LOOK AWESOME! Juanita H. read more

The only reason they don't have 5 stars is because I haven't had this procedure anywhere else to do a comparison and didn't really shop around, I feel in love with this place from my initial contact. I have spent the last couple of years yo-yo dieting and regardless of my weight being up or down I have always hated my stomach and how it didn't really fit or blend in with the rest of my shape to make me look like a woman. I had the smartlipo with Dr Geizenstein and I could not be happier, it was the best decision I have made for myself in a long time. But it is just the amazing results and affordability that has me going back for more and more at Sono Bello it is how comfortable and at ease I am when I am there. From Yahaira always greeting me at the front desk with a smile and calling me by name to the amazing nurses (Tanya - who I love love love! Pavel - who calms any nerves I might have before a procedure. Noel - who I know is answering all my questions honestly and doesn't make me feel crazy for asking them.) that I have had the chance to encounter I always feel welcome and know that they care about me and how the success and results I am achieving from the procedure over any profit or sales #. I can not say enough good things about the Sono Bello staff and the procedures they offer... they have made a customer for life out of me. read more

I had my second liposuction procedure with Dr Gerzenshtein in the Tampa office. Everything about the procedure was great. Dr Gerzenshtein and the nurse Alex both were exteremely friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The sunday after the procedure I had a question about a rash I was developing and he called me back within 15 minutes and provided me a solution to fix it. Overall I would highly recommend Dr Gerzenshtein if you are considering getting this done. I selected Venus Freeze as a supplement to a recent liposuction procedure. I am pleased with the results it has delivered so far. It definitely has helped decrease the time that it takes for the swelling /hardness to go down post procedure. In addition I can see tightening of the skin after just a couple of sessions. I have not experienced any pain or discomfort during the Venus treatment. To me it equates to a warm massage and only a little redness on my skin for about an hour after the treatment (abdomen). I would highly recommend the Tampa Sonobello office for this type of treatment. The treatments work and the staff is exceptionally friendly. Shianne, the aesthetician that performs the Venus treatments, is extremely nice and alleviates any concerns you may have about the procedure. She makes a good experience an exceptional one! read more

I had a wonderful experience with liposuction. First of all, the nice young man that works there named Tim helped get me all set up for my procedure. Everyone there was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I first met with Dr Lyons and he explained the procedure and we talked about the areas I wanted done. We agreed my inner and outer thighs, hips and upper and lower belly would be best for me. The day of my procedure, everyone helped calm my nerves and made me comfortable. That day, they completed my thighs and hips. By law, they took all they could for that day. A few days afterwards I was already so happy! No matter how much weight I've ever lost, I could not get rid of my hereditary thunder thighs "chunks". They are all gone!! I returned 4 weeks later to get my abdomen done. The fact that I returned should tell you I was happy. It's been 3 weeks since then and I couldn't be happier. I've had a couple Venus treatments, which helps with the lumps and tightening skin. Overall, I was not in a great deal of pain. Some discomfort. You're not put under so you can go right home. My shape has completely changed. I don't need to wear long shorts to hide my chunks. I'm confident and love the way I look. And It's early, my final results will take a few more months. I highly recommend Dr Lyons and Sonobello! read more

This post is for women like me, who spend all our energy taking care of others, and not taking care of "ME". I worked full time in my own business, had 2 daughters that I homeschooled, was in a 23 year marriage where I was more mother than wife, and I did little for myself. My hair became gray, my hands were rough, I retained my saggy belly after the second child, and I just didn't feel pretty. Forget buying clothes, nothing looked good. I didn't think it was worth pampering myself. Last year I decided to leave my marriage of 23 years, it was time to make "me" happy. With the encouragement of my oldest child, I decided to color my hair, take care of my nails, wear makeup, and the most important thing, to reshape my body and remove the fat. I deserved to look into the mirror and like (LOVE) what I looked like. I interviewed several lipo centers and chose SonoBello. The staff was sincere, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional. SonoBello honored their agreement to make my outcome the best it could be. They exceeded my expectation and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my body. At 57 I am turning heads more than I did when I was 20 and I feel WONDEFUL!! I encourage everyone to take charge of their life and make it the most magnificent it can be. When you look good you feel good. read more

After 5 years of faithfully working out with no success in reducing the problem areas on my outer thighs and banana rolls I decided to investigate laser liposuction. I was very frustrated and wanted to look better in my clothes. The entire staff at Sono Bello was professional, courteous and answered any questions I had so I decided to move forward with the procedure. Even though I was nervous , Dr. Azharian made me feel comfortable and communicated with me throughout the entire procedure. She even called me after I got home to check on me. Even though I was sore I was able to be up and out of the house about 48 hours after the procedure. It has been 3 weeks now and so far, everything the staff described about the post-op recovery has been accurate. The soreness lasted about 2 weeks but it decreased gradually each day along with the swelling. The 1st and 2nd stage garments take some getting used to but they definitely help with the healing and feeling more stable and protected when moving around. Overall I am so glad I went to Sono Bello and had this procedure...the difference when I look in the mirror is drastic and I look so much better in my clothes even after only 3 weeks, so I can't wait to see even further results in the weeks to come!

I've done a lot of research before I decided to go through with my procedure. I'm here to tell you that I do not regret choosing Sono Bello. After my first consultation with Nicole I have stayed informed and felt very comfortable with my decision to go forward with my body conturing. I did experience pain and discomfort during and after my surgery, so I wasn't ready to go back to work right away but that really depends on your pain tolerance. I highly recommend getting the Venus Freeze at the two week mark because it relieves a lot of the swelling and soreness that you may feel. I'm starting to see the results and I'm very pleased with my progress. I was extremely nervous going through this procedure and they all made me feel like a rockstar. Everytime I walk in there Mike & Yahaira has greeted with smiles and the entire staff has shown a genuine concern and excitement for my progress. I'm starting to see the results and I'm so happy that I took this first step towards a new lifestyle change. So thank you Nicole, Raini & Jessica (who always gave me great advice) , Mike & Yahaira, and Dr. Azharian (who gave me my body back). I would recommend Sono Bello to anyone looking for a realistic transformation. Good luck! read more

I love Sono Bello!  The entire process was great!  From the consultation, to the day of the lipo, to the days and weeks following, I have never been so comfortable with making such a life changing decision in my life.  I had my upper, lower abs done, as well as my chest, and the all so dreaded love handles, which I like to call my chichos...lol.  I watch what I eat and exercise 5-6 times a week and I had this memory foam layer of stubborn fat, that just wouldn't go away.  I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out and I've noticed a huge difference!   I couldn't be more pleased.  Everything the Doctor and nurses have told me to expect has happened and I'm really happy that I made this decision.  From the beginning, from the front desk, the office manager, the nurses, to the awesome doctor, have all been proffesional, kind, amd most importatly, made me feel comfortable.  I was extremely self conscious about taking off my shirt in front of others, but the staff at the Tampa location made me feel so comfortable.  Thank you Sono Bello for making this entire experience a great and memorable one.  I heart everyone there!  Xoxo -D read more

I walked into sono bello back in Oct 2013 to see what they had to offer me to better my appearance. The staff was very informative and helpful. I purchased a series of Venus Freeze sessions for my inner and outer thighs and arms. After the treatments ended, I wasnt completely happy with my results. I then consulted with them for more treatment options. I decided to get the laser Lipo done in those areas. I went with Dr. Siemian to do the procedures. I have to say his work is fantastic. He is a go getter and very precise. My results are great. After the procedure you must wear the garments 24/7 for the first 6 weeks. If you choose not to do so, your results will not be as good. That part is up to you. I also recommend getting the new venus legacy treatments to help with the healing process. Annie is the onky nurse I go to for these treatments. I have tried all the venus specialist and I found Annie to be the most experienced and informative about the machine and doing the procedures. Thanks Annie and the Sono Bello Team! read more

Sonobello Tampa is definitely the place to be! The staff from beginning to end was very professional and quite accommodating. Nicole started my journey by making me and my concerns about my body image feel "important", Heidi and April were there to reinforce that importance and made me feel quite comfortable about my decisions. The office staff, Raini and Mike, well, what can I say, I think we're "besties" now! Dr. Soler was EXCELLENT!!! His bedside manor and professionalism was second none! He talked to me during the procdure and I found out he knows quite a bit about music, he knows the Motown sound! He and Shianne took very good care of me during the procedure. My body contouring procedure was a success in more ways than one, the confidence I lost, has been found and I now have a fabulous body to go along with this new attitude! In short, if you are considering having this procedure, this is the place to be! The professionals that are located here will take care of you, and treat you like family during this journey! read more

This was my first time having cosmetic surgery so I did my research. I had liposuction in several areas and a Brazilian butt lift. Doctor G performed my surgery. I am four days post-op and I feel great. There is some soreness and bruising, but that was expected. These folks really went out of their way to make me comfortable with my decision. Doctor G even took the time to speak to my husband right before the procedure to make sure his questions and concerns were addressed.` From Lana at the front desk, who always smiled and called me by name, to Lonnie who originally spoke with me about the procedure and costs (of which they gave me a great discount!) to Jamie who was Dr G's assistant during the procedure, ALL the staff is wonderful. I felt no pain during the procedure, just mild discomfort. The Dr. himself called me the next day to check on me. I am definitely going back for some Venus treatments. If I feel the need to have more lipo in the future, this is the place I will go. These people are the read deal. read more

I have tried to get my tummy flat after having a baby--he's leaving for college! Yoga, dancing, cycling, weight lifting--not effective, and I've spent hours, despite losing 30lbs. It wasn't going anywhere! Went to Sonobello, saw Dr. Azharian. Oral meds only, out the door at 1045 after abdominal liposuction. Ate and slept for the next several hours, out the door at 8am. No problem driving 2 hours home. Had to go to California, got follow up in Sacramento on Friday. No problems, seamless follow up, nothing strong for pain after the first day. The procedure was not uncomfortable at all, if you do feel anything they are right on the spot to fix it. I wish I'd done it years ago. Even better, that little fold you get when you've had a C-section? It's disappearing. after just 4 weeks. The price? If I had gone to work instead of spending all that time doing situps, I could have paid for it 3 times over. The nursing staff--I'm a nurse too--were immensely awesome, cheerful, and professional. It was great. read more

I am very happy with my experience here. Dr. Bonanno is very skilled at his job and handles everything very professionaly. Was told everything that was being done as it was done. He followed up with me that evening and I felt very safe as procedure was being done. All the staff is very friendly as makes sure you are comfortable, as well as answers any questions you may have both before and after procedure. Don't be afraid or intimidated to ask questions. The consultation can be a bit overwhelming but my advice is don't be afraid to ask questions, it's a lot of money and you want to be sure you understand what exactly will happen on day of surgery. Everyone's body is different and people heal differently, the pictures are only what happened to that person, you need to be realistic about what you want to achieve, it's not a weight loss program. It's just a way to help you get to where you want to be. A healthy diet and exercise is still going to be needed for you to achieve your goal. read more

The staff at Sono Bello Tampa location were amazing. I went in on a Friday afternoon because it was a free consultation. Little did I know that in less than 24 hours I would already have my procedure done and be home resting. I received Lipo in my upper and lower abdomen and my waist. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with smiles from Yahaira the Front Desk Clerk, very pleasant to work with. Then my consultation with Lonnie, she really took the time and attention to understand my concerns and what I was looking for. All of my paperwork was handled in an extremely timely manner. My procedure was done on a Saturday morning by Dr. Azharian and my nurse Tiffany we so attentive and caring. The procedure was done with such care and there really was not too much pain, more of discomfort. I returned to work on that Monday and I healed quickly and I am so happy with my results. I would recommend The Tampa location of Sono Bello to anyone that is looking for Lipo. Lorrie S read more
