“I was so excited to try this procedure. I had been seeing the ads for years. I had upper ab, lower ab and sides done. I found the procedure very painful. More than I anticipated for sure. I tried really hard but at times, I would jump a little from the pain. I was breathing through it like I was giving birth. I was crying. The doctor said, "I don't understand why you are in pain, you've had 5 babies." Yes, I had 5 babies and that hurt too. He said, "well I can't give you any more medicine." When I would jump (which was completely an involuntary pain response), he would say, "I'm going to shove this (the laser device) through you colon if you don't stay still." I tried so hard. Then he hit something that really hurt and I jumped. He threw the laser wand over me onto the metal tray on my opposite side and said, "all right, I'm done." I apologized for jumping because I didn't want the process to be unfinished. He picked up the wand and continued. This was 1 year ago. Now, my stomach is lumpy and bumpy. It looks terrible. I know that he didn't finish because he was annoyed with me. I am still paying for this botched procedure. I have never tried anything like this before. I would advise against it for sure.”

“My experience at Sonobello was excellent. I am loving my results so far. I go back on April 28 to get another procedure done which is by planks. I can’t wait to see my final results.
I was in a lot of pain, which is to be expected. I just wish I would’ve had more pain meds. The staff at Sonobello is five stars. Everyone treated me with respect and was very kind.”

“Ari was my nurse today at my 1 week appointment. She had the job of removing the surgery strip ( I think that’s what it is called) she warned me that it could be painful, Ari did such an amazing job I didn’t feel anything but a little tiny pinch once, that didn’t hurt at all!! I was so impressed with her ability and kindness and professionalism❣️❣️”

I was so insecure and self conscious before my procedure I didn’t even want to leave me house. Just two weeks after my procedure I’m fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years!!! This is the first time in years I’m looking forward to the summer. Thank you !!!”

“My wife and I had lipo suction. As far as myself? Absolutely horrible results. Every checkup visit has nice nurses but the doctor is no where. I’m still hoping for a result but as it stands it has been a total waste of my money and time.

As for my wife, not as bad as mine but it’s bad too. I’ll have our 3rd checkup this coming April. It will have been 9 plus months since our procedure. It still looks wrong and we expect they will give us the same sympathy with no results nor doctor to tell us how they will fix it.

Pitiful.”

“Shab was amazing with my initial appointment. She was clear, concise and realistic about what would happen. I immediately scheduled my procedure before leaving the building. Dr. Kane and my nurse Stephanie were amazing. Dr. Kane called me from her personal phone on my first post-op day which I greatly appreciated. I am post-op day 3 and have been able return to work remotely. I still have some swelling and pain but have managed it without any narcotics. I don't know who is going to work the day after the procedure. lol! I suppose it is whta you ahve done. I personally had four areas done. As a 30+ year RN, they have exceeded my expectations. I can already see how my body has changed despite the swelling. Highly recommend.”

“Very happy with my results, I am only a week out, however I have had a very good experience every time I have come in. The surgery itself was done professionally with care and constantly asking if I was ok. The after care was also amazing as well, phone calls to verify I was doing well, if I was comfortable and had any questions. At my one week check -up the nurse was through and went over expectations and care tips. The staff, Doctor Kang and Nurse Cherie have been phenomenal.now at 4 months I am absolutely happy with my results!!”

Starting with the gals at the front desk, my initial meeting and follow up with Shab, Nancy, Leisha, Dr. Kang, (and her calls!)
Cherie (and her calls), and Dr. Bensimon, for being so kind and popping in to meet me.

Dr. Kang, my nurses, Leisha and Cherie, Shab, and Dr. Bensimon …. above and beyond.

Never did I feel they were in a rush, or that I was just a “number”.
Outstanding, phenomenal service. I feel cared for in every way.
I’m almost ready to schedule another appointment for my neck and thighs! :) seriously!

With gratitude,

“The staff was very nice and professional. Greeted me right away with a, "Hello and Welcome to Sono Bello."
Upon meeting with one of their Patient Care Consultants, she shared with me that the type of procedures they can provide are NOT going to help with my particular issue: More permanent weight loss through a gastric bypass, "sleeve" or bariatric procedure.
Sono Bello removes the subcutaneous, "squishy" fat at the surface, not the deeper "beer belly" layers.
Given that, I thanked the consultant and my visit with them was complete.”

Not only did she take the time to hear me out and listen to my concerns she made me feel important. I AM important and it was the first time I felt heard in a very long time. This was a very big decision for me and a lot of money for me to spend on myself . She walked me through the entire process, step by step and let me take time to think about it. I’m sure a sent her a dozen emailed with follow up questions and she always responded promptly , even when she wasn’t working! I never felt pressured or a burden. Then she told me about Dr. Kang. Her confidence in her medical team was radiating . I had such a wonderful experience with Dr Kang and my nurse Sherie . The receptions were always so helpful and always remember my name . I feel like I have an extended family with Sono Bello whom truly cares about me and my happiness. This is an experience I will never forget.”

“Please be cautious of where you go to do surgery, and look at the results.

I really do feel that my procedure was rushed through and am dissatisfied with the results thus far. I see virtually NO difference in certain areas… I had a total of 600cc of fat removed from 3 different areas which was not enough to reduce the fat 80-90% as promised. I should have been much more cautious and looked at the results of others before making my decision. I’ve been told to wait until 6 months post-op to really determine my results and to start the discussion of revision but I have had other procedures done in which despite swelling, I could see the difference. This is very disheartening because I made an investment with an understanding that I would receive the results promised to me during my consultation, and I know for sure that I have to go through this healing process all over again. I feel as though doctors sometimes may forget how much trust their patients are putting into them, as they do surgeries day in and day out. I also did not appreciate not being able to meet my doctor until the day before my surgery. Other than this, the nursing and reception staff are very kind and professional, I am very appreciative for them.”

She gave me realistic goals and set me up with a great game plan. I went into this journey with all the knowledge I needed, I was prepared . This is more than I can say for most experiences I have had in the medical field. Dr. Malin was a breath of fresh air. His bedside manner was impeccable, everything she told me about him was true and he was even better then I could have prayed for. I knew I was in safe hands and I sure was I made the right decision. He answered all my husband’s questions and put him at ease (that is no easy task). As a mother , doing an elective procedure was something we took very seriously. I can’t speak more highly of my entire experience. I am feeling great, although I am not at my full results . I thank you Sono Bello for having an amazing team and truly caring about your patients .”

Post op I called twice I was not taken seriously and came to my post op appt with a complication a large seroma in my abdomen, very painful post. op meds were not adequate for my complication and I suffered needlessly. I would never have an awake procedure there again because of what I experienced but I do love your staff. Thank you
P S Jordan RN is. Gem professional and excellent skills.”

“They are nice people and got good price for everything that I wanted to get done. However it's been 2 weeks since my surgery and I was expecting to see smaller results right away because I got lipo in my upper and lower abdomen and my waist and my hips and then an abex alternative tummy tuck that alot being done on my stomach but didn't see much of a change at all and still weighed the same ... Now that it's been 2 weeks after my surgery the only thing that has changed is I no longer have a a big muffin top belly but still the same thickness around my stomach. But they say it's because I'm swollen still which I really am swollen so I can't say that I'm unhappy yet. I can't wait to see full results after 6 months I hope it really is from being swollen I paid over 13 thousand to be smaller and shaped better with loose skin removed. And expect to see a big change for that much money. I just don't see much of a change yet so I'm trying to be patient on my results ... I'm eating healthy and portion size and drinking lots of water and I'm getting my exercise done daily so that way I will see better results when I'm fully healed.. they did say that if I don't gain any weight and if there's more fat that needs to be removed they will do it for free only if I don't gain weight which I won't.. so we will see if they even check to see if I need more fat removed or not. I hope they don't just tell people that just to get us to go through them for lipo /abex. The staff there are very nice and the doctor is very nice to he did surgery on my daughters head when she was 6 months old and did a great job so I'm gonna trust what he says about not seeing results right away and I'll start to see results slowly .. so I'll follow up in 6 months with final result on here and hopefully give 5 stars .. I would love to give 5 stars because they were very nice. I just was bummed that I didn't see any results right away when others have see results right away with less work done to there stomach and even with all the swelling they still seen smaller results v/s me looking bigger to not much of a difference results and still fit the same in all my clothes with more stuff done more fat taken out of my stomach makes me feel like I paid over 13 thousand for not much of a difference results I know every ones body is different but with that much fat removal plus abex u would think u would see smaller results right away. I just have to be patient and wait till I'm healed and no longer swollen before I say if I'm satisfied or not

Update it's 09/05/23 I'm not satisfied with my results at all there's no Difference much at all except now I have a long scar over my stomach I wish I got what my sister got was an actual tummy tuck . It cost basically the same as the alternative tummy tuck. I was so unsatisfied I didn't even go to my last 6 month appointment I didn't see any point in going. Didn't want to waist my time ..good thing I only got my tummy done I was trying to find a place to do all the things I wanted done my tummy was just 1 area but now I'm glad I know I don't want to get anything else done here .. such little results for so much money”

I was very hesitant to go on for a consultation but the moment I met with Shab I felt felt so comfortable. She was so amazing , caring, compassionate, genuine and honest. She was so thorough , she explained the entire procedure and what to expect. I had my procedure with Dr.malin and he was even more amazing than I could have prayed for. He literally changed my life. I can’t express how thankful I am to have been able to have meet this amazing group of humans. I have my confidence back and I can cut into clothes I have had in my closet for years , yet didn’t think I could ever fit into again!!!”

“From telephone courtesy, to stress free parking, to a well laid out reception area, to professional and friendly front office staff, to seamless provision of important information, to culturally savvy nurses, to a gorgeous and intelligent surgeon, Sonobello is highly recommended for any body-make-over you desire. I will continue to recommend them to my friends and family.”

“I went in to consult on some extra skin on my lower jaw. My consultant, Shaub, was honest and let me know that the procedures offered there wouldn't help this area. However she didn't stop there. She called one of the doctors and they made recommendations of surgeons who would be a better fit. A business that was honest and didn't try to sell me sometimes that wouldn't work I highly recommend!!!”

“I am not new to the world of cosmetic surgey. I have had a tummy tuck along with other cosmetic procedures . With that said I was very hesitant to go into Sono Bello . I didn’t want to deal with a high pressure sales person and I didn’t understand how a “consultant” could know what I really needed. Much to my surprise I was very wrong. I met with Shab , she was extremely knowledgeable and told me she has worked with her doctors for over 10 years. Based on her knowledge and candor I trusted her immensely. She walked me through the entire procedure, what would happen before, day or and after. Her honesty was rather refreshing. The most impressive part is that she didn’t even pressure. She assessed my areas and was honest! Then she gave me a quote and when I said I needed to think about it she even encouraged that! Needless to say I called a few hours later and scheduled my procedure . I had my procedure with Dr. Caton and she was wonderful. Everything she told me lined up with what Shab had told me. My trust in this clinic kept growing. Day of procedure the nurse, Bethany was fantastic! Everything went so smoothly and although I’m only a few weeks out from my surgey I’m thrilled. I can’t wait to see my final result. I thank everyone at Sono Bello for their extreme professionalism and passion for patient care. If you are hesitant in having a procedure go to a consultation. Make sure you ask for Shab. I’m confident you won’t be disappointed.”

“Everything up to surgery was great! Front desk is frendly. The nurses were amazing. I dont know how the doc did because whatever meds they gave me before i went in knocked me out and i can only remeber a few minutes of the surgery (not mad at that) However, the Dimond Plus recovery package is the biggest waist of money ever. $899 for them to give you two compression garmets you can get for $30. And the fallow up appointment was asking a few questions, taking my weight and some pictures.. I am not in any pain. It's sore in the morning but some light stretching and everything is fine. It does itch. And I have some numb areas. So besides the rip off of the recovery package I am extremely happy so far.”

“Having just moved to Portland, I didn't know where to start for my chin and neck procedure. But everyone I asked pointed me to Sono Bello and Dr. Bensimon. Learning about his decades of expertise and teaching roles around the world I immediately understood why. I didn't hesitate and scheduled my procedure with total confidence.

That trust was affirmed during my pre-consultations, procedure day, and post-procedure care. All the staff I interacted with were experienced in their roles, technically skilled, empathetic and especially kind. Communication from Sono Bello was excellent from start to finish. I even received a personal call from Dr. Bensimon checking in on me afterward, which doctors rarely do today.

I would highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone in Portland for aesthetic medicine.”

“10/10, Dr. Arica Arigayan and his team are extremely professional and compassionate. I’m so glad I chose Portland for my procedure. Huge Thankyou!!!
EDIT: I want to add more detail because l just can’t say enough nice things about this place. Sooo im going to wind back to the beginning. A couple months ago I began my serious researching tummy tuck journey. 1. I’m not a fan of general anesthesia unless absolutely necessary. 2. I wanted skin removal first and for most. 3. Reasonable cost. I got a quote for an OG tummy tuck in Bellevue and a sculpting quote from Bellevue. Both more than my custom Sono Bello quote. Also one of Sono Bellos biggest advertisements is that they only use local anesthetic. Check Mark. Lastly they now offer the “Abex” which is skin removal of the lower abdomen. Check mark. I have had 2 csections and could not get rid of my skin with diet or exercise. I was skeptical of a procedure that would work with such little down time an only local anesthetic. So I looked and looked at before and after photos and watch YouTube review. Everything thing I saw was impressive even the negative reviews had good results… ok so there’s my back story. I get to Sono Bello, I am seen on time. I am offered surgery next day!! Surgery day was a breeze as well you take your pain pills and chill pills and then go to operating room, get numbed an the surgeon gets to work. You can also ask questions why they work and they are all beyond polite. I was back to work the following day after surgery. That being said I do work from home, but I was very capable of sitting at a computer. I didn’t take any pain medication when I got home. I took Tylenol and Ibuprofen for 3 days and then stopped that. I am now one week post op an feel great, I just make sure to drink a gallon of water everyday. I will recommend this office to everyone!! And share my results.”

“The 2 stars are because the staff has been friendly and professional during every appointment. I had my waist, upper and lower abdomen done the week of Thanksgiving. The doctor told me "60% of patients experience some discomfort during the procedure." I cannot stress enough how excruciatingly painful the procedure was. The numbing medication did nothing for the pain. I was sent home after 15 minutes in recovery. I was also told during the initial consultation that the downtime would be 2 days. This is absolutely not true. I was able to return to work after 2 weeks. That's when the burning pain began. I called and explained the amount of pain and that it feels like the worst sunburn I've ever had. After several calls, I was told that "the doctor is stumped." It was recommended that I try 2 different types of over the counter creams. I have been massaging my stomach daily and trying different creams. Nothing is helping. I have noticed results in my physical appearance, but I have also drastically changed my diet and exercise. I may be happy with the results several months from now. But it's been over 9 weeks since the procedure and I'm in pain every day.”

My procedure was about three months ago, and since about a month ago I've been getting Venus treatments to tighten and tone the skin and muscles underneath, and they are so pleasant. The lady who does the Venus treatments here is such a sweet and genuine person, and I love to chat with her while I'm getting my treatments done. She is very easy to talk to. Oh and the ladies at the front desk are also wonderful! My 3 month post op appointment was really fun as well. It was amazing to see the before and after pictures..

It was so welcoming to have such a through explanation/walk through prior to getting started.

I highly recommend Kortnie for your Venus treatment needs! ”

I got that and more with the amazing caring staff. From consult to the operating table I felt great about the decision I was making. I NEVER go to doctors because they always upsell and offer things you don’t need, for an elective surgery I thought this would for sure be the case. I felt heard and affirmed, decisions I made to wait on certain changes were supported and encouraged. Front desk staff, nurses, and the doctor were all amazing. I expected to be treated as an inconvenience and instead was treated like a member at a spa. A+ 110% by the Portland team. I recommend to anyone in the PNW to seek help here first. Kortnie is also amazing! She runs the Venus treatment, if you opt in to that I highly recommend you do, and ask for her. A+++”

“Well it’s hard to know where to start. I’m speechless. I’ve been thinking about what to say , how to put into words how My procedure has changed my life and I’m still not sure how I can express my gratitude. I met with my consultant Sha and from the beginning I knew I was going to be in excellent hands. She didn’t rush me, she explained the entire process , answered my dozens of questions, waited patiently as I took notes, never got frustrated or irritated with me, was kind, thorough , I needed a few days to process everything. I had gone to one other consult and they didn’t make me feel very comfortable and told me if I didn’t make my decision that day I wouldn’t get the same price. I’m not a same day decision person so that made me feel very uncomfortable. I’m glad I took the time to go to Sono Bello and meet with them and ended up having my procedure with Dr. Bensimon . He was so knowledgeable. He was so gentle with me during my procedure, I have a very low pain tolerance and was so scared to be awake during a procedure but I was very comfortable. Dr. Bensimon took his time and has changed my life! Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !”

“Had my body sculpting last month with Dr. Malin and his team at Sono Bella and I am thrilled. Shab was so kind and informative at my consultation. She gave me all the information to prepare me for my journey and I did not feel judged at all. I had been waiting to do this for 10 years and finally was in the financial position to do something myself. This is the best investment I’ve ever made in myself and I’m so thankful for having this opportunity.”

“The bad: 1. When the consultant tells you there is no down time and you can return to work the next day, know that this may not be true for you. It wasnt for me. Maybe if you only get your chin done this might be true. I had abdomen , upper arms and under arm, upper bra roll done.
2 Consultant said, there's just a few tiny pokes in each area, they inject with lidocaine to numb everything, there will be a little drainage for a day or two. The pokes where they numb you is the worst part. It's relatively painless.
Here's the reality from my experience.
What seemed like 10 minutes after the lidocaine and fluid injections the Dr started procedure. It was painful. Like level 10 of 10 pain. By the time I got numb enough for it to not be painful he was nearly done. So I guess it actually took about 45 minutes for numbing to be effective.
I don't feel like my level of pain was of too much concern for staff. But I could be wrong.
Next problem. Compression garment didn't fit well, it was too small in arms and length. But they sent me home in it.
By day 4 my arms were in such pain from the too tight garment I had to cut the sleeves off. So now.. no compression on my painful arms. I can order on my own from a company for a properly fitted one.
Drainage, there's quite a lot of bloody drainage for 3 days. There is no way I could have returned to work the next day. Not even 3 days later. I'm on day 5 post surgery. I'm still too painful/bruised to return to work. If I had a desk job working at home.. maybe. I have to sleep on my back as it's too painful in any other position.
For the good part. All staff was very friendly, facility very clean, people answer the phone when you call. I can already see a big difference in my appearance and I think I will be happy with result after the swelling, bruising and pain dissipate. Dr. Explained difference between visceral and subQ fat and realistic results of liposuction, also the need to maintain healthy eating and exercise habits.
My suggestion to consultants. Don't tell people there is no down time and can return to work next day. And don't tell people it's nearly pain free procedure. Make sure compression garment fits well before surgery.
Update week 4 post surgery. Still having pain. Not severe. But not minimal either. Needing to take 600 MG ibuprofen twice a day. I was able to return to work at week 3. I work 12 hour shifts in health care.”

“From the consultation with Yvette I already felt confident that I should proceed. She was honest and made sure all my questions were answered.
Day of surgery went really well. Yvette was my nurse which was full circle so great since I already met her. The cocktail they gave was just enough to feel comfortable while they did the numbing solution. Dr Malin and Yvette were so great to me, music choice was perfect (90's alternative) we had a convo the whole time and I didn't feel but a little bit of discomfort here and there and Yvette was right there to say breathe through it. Now I'm home and on day 4 of recovery. Stopped taking the pain meds by end of day 2. They made me too drowsy but I needed that rest. I'm feeling much more mobile day 3 and 4 and I can see such positive results so far. I did upper lower and pubic area. My pubic area is the most swollen and bruised but it's normal and gravity taking its course. The compression garment is really comfortable too. All in all I'm happy I did this and can't wait to see the final results. Thanks Sono Bello!”

“I’m editing my review simply because I just had my revision procedure yesterday 9/7/22. I know that the difference in what doctor you have do the procedure is very important, my first procedure I had done was with Dr. Aghayan, I can honestly say that it was the worst experience I had ever had. Not only was it extremely more painful Which I understand he did a much larger area so I know that the pain will be more extreme, however his bedside manner and how rude he was to me during the procedure made it 10 times worse. Not only was I in so much pain I also had a Doctor who I could tell didn’t care at all that I was hurting. A little bit of kindness goes a long way when you’re in pain, my second procedure I had done with Dr Bensimon who is an amazing doctor. Of course there still was a bit of pain but when I let him know I was hurting he took the time to make me feel better and he cared and had compassion, those kind of things like I said go along way when you’re laying there in pain. So yes I definitely would recommend Sonobello to many people I would just recommend them staying away from the most unkind and uncaring doctor I’ve ever met Doctor Aghayan please take my advice and request any other doctor but him. PS Just got a follow up call from Dr. Bensimon again an amazing doctor and very caring big props to him. I read quite a few other reviews that made the statement that the doctor was very uncaring and basically could care less about their pain I can assure you there most likely also talking about Dr. Aghayan
Thank you Jennifer Kirk”

“I had my consultation with Shabb and from the moment I met her I knew I made the right decision to come into Sono Bello. She was very honest and kind. She did not sugar coat anything. She told me the procedure would not be pain free but worth the results. Boy was she right! I had my procedure with Dr. Aghayan. He was amazing. I never really thought I could have a flat stomach again. Everywhere else I contacted told me I had to lose weight which was very discouraging. Dr. Aghayan and Shabb both gave me very real expectations. Although I have to say they definitely over delivered ! I will recommend Sono Bello to anyone who wants to get rid of stubborn fat and that extra skin from having babies. My recovery was as I was told. Not easy breezy but again we’ll worth it. Nothing like my c-sections. I’m so thankful I went gave Sono Bello a change , they delivered far more then I expected!”

The procedure went well and follow up appointments too. In between, receiving weekly instructions of where I should be during my recovery and what I needed to do helped alot. I do have a small spot on my abdomen that needs to be smoothed out and they suggested an ultrasound treatment to help with that at no extra cost. Care and treatment was very good, The only part I felt to improve on was the personal touch by the nurses( introducing themselves by name as they took you back and a little more direct feedback by them. Otherwise, very pleased overall!!”

“I have to start by saying I put in an insane amount of work on myself. I lost over 120lbs in about 6 years. Just that little bit to go and I needed help. I got that and more with the amazing caring staff. From consult to the operating table I felt great about the decision I was making. I NEVER go to doctors because they always upsell and offer things you don’t need, for an elective surgery I thought this would for sure be the case. I felt heard and affirmed, decisions I made to wait on certain changes were supported and encouraged. Front desk staff, nurses, and the doctor were all amazing. I expected to be treated as an inconvenience and instead was treated like a member at a spa. A+ 110% by the Portland team. I recommend to anyone in the PNW to seek help here first.”

Although I’m not over weight I have had a double chin for as long as I can remember . Double chins run in my family and I’ve wanted to address this problematic area forever ! I finally took the leap and went I Sono Bello. I met with Shab and she terrific. She set me up with Dr. Bensimon and man is he talented. I had my procedure in May and within a week I could notice improvement. My results are getting better daily and I could not be happier.”

“The initial process is very streamlined and effective. They follow up immediately after you request a consult. They are very good at communicating appointment times and directions. The front desk receptionist was wonderfully friendly and helpful. The person who helped me did not even bat an eyelash when I forgot to fill in a couple of spots on the intake paperwork.The office itself is very clean and well decorated.

I made it to my appointment I filled out the paperwork and proceeded to sit and wait for 30 minutes past my appointment time. As I sat there, I started to imagine myself post-op sitting and waiting in pain for 30-45 minutes and I decided it was not the level of service that I want for myself.

It seems like such a shame to have such an effective scheduling system only to have potential clients sit for 30-40 minutes past their appointment time. My time is very, very valuable. Everyone’s time is valuable.

As a local business owner myself, who offers free initial consultations, if my staff were making new clients wait for 30 to 40 minutes past their appointment time to be seen for the consult, I would definitely address it immediately. Not even my Providence neurosurgeon makes me wait that long to be seen.

I ended up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic for my 35 minute drive home and got home in a bad mood after wasting a good portion of my afternoon. On my way home I decided to just go ahead and work with an established surgeon in Lake Oswego.

I am looking to establish a solid relationship with a provider that can help me make my entire body what I want it to be, over time. So, a lack of respect for my time was not a good indication of a solid or long-term relationship.

I will repeat that the scheduling persons as well as the front desk reception were impeccable.

I give the front desk five stars as well as all of the people who made sure that I made it to my appointment. And I give zero stars to whoever was supposed to see that appointment through.

If you were thinking of going in for your initial consultation, be prepared to spend an extended amount of time waiting to be seen. I don’t think it’s necessary to arrive to your appointment 15 minutes early if they’re just going to make you wait an additional 30+ minutes on top of that. I would also highly recommend having multiple consultations with multiple providers so that you can get a feel for the level of service that you can expect from your provider. It’s very intimate and personal subject. Establishing a solid relationship upfront is extremely important.”

“I had my initial consult with Yvette and she was super informative and very understanding. She was able to take my concerns and come up with a plan for me that suited my needs and budget. She wasn't pushy either, perfectly okay with me going home and sleeping on it.

Then my surgeon was Dr. Aghayan, who was very straightforward about the procedure, perfectly happy to answer all my questions, and was very thorough throughout the procedure. I just want to take a minute to dispel any negative comments and reviews about him, because he did a truly amazing job for me and I couldn't be more grateful for the life changing service. He was nice and funny and professional and I highly recommend him.

I'd also like to give a commendation to the nurses and assistants throughout the whole ordeal, as everyone was cheerful and energetic and made me feel less anxious. My assistant who helped Dr. Aghayan, Elaine, was very sweet and we shared a lot of common interests that made it easy to chat with her and to distract myself from the procedure. And she didn't mind that I was so chatty. :)

Long story short, I highly recommend Sono Bello in Portland Oregon. Best experience and expertise you can find for elective cosmetic surgery.”

“I was very apprehensive about having any procedures done because of my severe allergies. Shab was incredibly patient and thorough in taking the time to talk with us, and even brought Dr Bensimon into the consult to discuss my concerns.

Shab is so professional, but more importantly to me she is empathetic, kind and personable. She made us feel so comfortable and heard! I never felt judged or uncomfortable asking any questions to either of them.

I did have a few complication with my procedure but Dr Bensimon spent so much time with me, reassuring me he would do everything in his power to help me through the process and he did!

Shab has been so great about communication and helping navigate my procedures
I really can’t say enough great things about Shab and Dr Bensimon. Sonobello is lucky to have them both. If you are considering any of the procedures they offer this is the only place I would go! Dr Bensimon is amazingly talented and Shab is awesome.
Excited for next month when I go back for more !!”

“Our original consultation was everything that you would expect.
However, the consultation with the "doctor " was far less. We were told not to expect any results for at least 6 months and not to expect any weight loss. We paid for both of us up front and after the "doctor " talked us out of doing it they held almost $4000.00 in deposit money. Be careful.”

“Great experience from the initial consultation to follow up care. Costs were clearly presented, along with financing options. Everyone was encouraging and supportive throughout the process. I followed recovery guidance very strictly and am so pleased with the outcome. It was the springboard I needed for a much needed weight loss. At my initial weigh in I was 207, and am down to 145 today. I was around 150 until menopause began in earnest around 2014 or 2015, and despite religiously working out i could not lose weight. Even spent a huge amount of money on Cool Sculpting that did nothing. So having my pre menopause body back (actually smaller now!) means so much. I didnt think I'd ever see that woman again. Replacing all my plus size clothes is a chore but a sweet one. Luckily i saved a lot of things. We weren't able to look at pics at my 3 month appointment due to technical issues, so I'm anxious to do that at my 6 month appointment. Want to see my before and afters! I couldn't be happier about my decision to go to Sonobello and would encourage anyone to consider it. Looking forward to retirement as my best self.”

“Everyone I interacted with was very upbeat and positive and that made for a pleasant experience.

The procedure was indeed (as mentioned by others) a bit more painful than expected. The Dr. really had no sympathy and basically scolded me for squirming.

Kharia was great and very reassuring. She made sure I was comfortable and helped me before, during, and after the procedure.

I received a follow up call (from someone) to check on me, again very positive and upbeat.

I’m only a few days after the surgery (torso and chest area) and feel ok. I was able to (pretty much out of necessity - I made the mistake of forwarding my office phone) return to work the next day (I can work at a desk from home) and have no regrets or issues at this point.

I’m looking forward to seeing the final results!”

I'm a fulltime nursing student and work full time, I happen to have a little break that week but apparently they won't facilitating appointments 7 weeks out.

I can definitely say however the pain is much much much more intense than they make it seem they gave me my medicine about seven minutes before they started the procedure which was definitely not long enough for it to kick in when I complained about how much it hurt the doctor bluntly said who do you want me to stop then no compassion or care at all for how much pain I was in and if there was a bit more compassion I feel like I could’ve gotten through a much better.”

“Stop and read this before you meet with for the free consultation.
The free consultation is with a commissioned based sales agent. They will repeat the same sales pitch, almost sounding like a record player. They will tell you how they got the same areas done but somehow their results are stunningly different from what you get.
Yes, they will give you that “ special price for today only” . No refunds if you change your mind, even a better offer if you pay the whole amount. My advice, go home and think about it. Even get another estimate from another company.

If you are thinking of getting multiple areas done, do not tell the sales agent. Every state as a set amount of fat that can be removed in a single procedure so if you have more then 1 area, only make appointment for that only. I had 5 areas done, both arms, lower abdomen, upper abdomen and waist. I paid $1900 for each area. The arms look almost the same as before, the doctor at 3 months stated that he took out the amount needed. Question is how does everyone at the office who had the procedure done stated how it was a drastic difference?

The Revision they talk about at consultation if you are not happy with your result is made up. They make you wait 6 months and submit it to their board for review ( their own review board, not sure if they even exist) which would decide if they need to spend money giving the customer the result they were promised. Chances of the revision does not exist. Once they take your money, perform the procedure, not much you can do if you are not happy.
I told the lady at consultation how my arms were uneven, and that was my number one concern.
I am ashamed to tell anyone that I had lipo done on my arms because they look the same. The doctor even made them more uneven.

Be ready to wait, wait and wait.
I was called in at 2 for my procedure at 3 pm. I didn’t get started till 8 pm, getting home a little after midnight.
They sent me a $50 gift card to compensate me for waiting from 2 pm to 8pm. You are not to eat 2 hrs before your appointment, so there I was sitting from 12 to 8 pm, hungry before my nurse brought me some leftover pizza from the nurses station. The nurses are great but they are also overworked and don’t have much say.
Would I do this so called life changing procedure! NO, I wish I had walked out of that sales pitch and saved my $10000!

How do the doctors sleep at night? How does the sales agent make the pitch and take your hard earned money and not perform like your are promised?
They made me lose my trust in humanity, they are just making the money, changing peoples lives is at the bottom of their list.”

“First of all, the staff at Sono Bello Portland are so very personable and caring. Everyone I’ve met has been so sweet and down to earth. My consultation with Shab is basically what sold me on choosing Sono Bello, I had already had a few consults at other practices. Shab is super informative and thorough yet I never felt pressured or like I was being handed a sales pitch. She also places you with the surgeon that fits your needs best. The prices were better for what I needed done than other places as well. My Doctor, Dr. Malin is amazing! He is at the top of what he does! So skilled and professional yet easy to talk to and he really does care about his patients. I had quite a few areas done at once but it all went smoothly and I’m recovering now. I had my one week post op with nurse Zoe today and she was so sweet and caring, went over and above to make me comfortable. I’m looking forward to seeing my final results and have already scheduled a second surgery because I’m confident that I’m going to love my new body and being able to wear shorts again after 20 years of long pants in the summer will be worth any discomfort I feel now. Thank you Sono Bello, I’m looking forward to the next phase.”

We completed the paperwork and waited, and waited and waited. 25 minutes after my appointment time, I asked when we were going to be seen. I was told they did not know but were messaging the back. 10 minutes I checked again and was told any minute. Another 10 minutes and we walked out. I told the receptionist they just lost my business and no efforts were made to stop me. On the way home, I got a call saying they were awfully sorry and would give me $500 off my procedures. I explained that punctuality was very important as I made the effort to arrive ahead of time. I simply have to be able to trust this company with my life and they have shown my business is not at all a priority to them so my health certainly is not important. I am a nurse and expect a certain professionalism which they failed the most basic level. My time, my body, my money to them is disposable. Sorry is not going to cut it. I am taking my thousands and thousand elsewhere and would absolutely NOT recommend them to anyone. My search continues. Don't settle people. Expect a commitment to be reciprocal.”

“It's been about 12 days since my procedure and all has gone well! I was very pleased with the entire staff especially Cheryl at the front desk for helping me with several questions.

Edited:
It's now been about one year since my procedure and I have downgraded this rating. I have done so because they don't exactly tell the truth when they sell you the service. They claim your fat cells will be "gone forever" but that's really stretching the truth quite a bit. For me, the truth is, a person has to be very careful even after the procedure to stay on a strict diet and watch what you are doing.....otherwise the fat cells come right back, over time. This is something they don't tell a person in the sales presentation. They wait until the day of procedure to give you a stern talking to about future diet. And this is after they have your money and it's too late to back out.
For me personally, I wasted Thousands of Dollars on this procedure! For me, I've been a large person all of my life. It hardly makes sense that I would change my diet overnight based on a fat removal procedure. Shame on me for believing the hype they give you in the sales presentation.”

“As with most things in life, objectively speaking, there are positives and negatives. However, I would say my over all experience with Sono Bello Portland was positive.

The front desk ladies and everyone that communicated with me via phone were very helpful and professional. Returned calls were timely too.

From the beginning of my experience which maybe very different from the average due to my long history of Psoriatic arthritis and generally more inflammation.
The surgeon was pleasant, but I only saw him for a short consultation and the day of the surgery. I clearly remember parts of my procedure. The area around my ribs woke me up and felt like fire.

The week after my procedure was miserable. I was warned that I would weep a lot of fluid from my insertion sites. However, I did not expect to saturate pads within 1-2 hours. It was so painful and exhausting changing dressings. I was so thankful for my husband because I needed help, I fainted three times and he caught me.

After the first week I started to feel a little bit better, but realized I had formed an abdominal seroma that needed to be drained three times. I faithfully wore my post op body suit for three months, every single day.

I went in trying to have realistic expectations and think my outcome was mostly what I pictured. With my 6 month appointment I was under the impression that I would see my surgeon again to discuss results and if any touch ups were needed. I ended up being seen by a nurse. I let her know my areas of concern and she stated that she would put notes in my chart and I could schedule a special appointment with a doctor to see if any of my concerns are reasonable for a touch up procedure.

So that is where I am at now. I have been reassured multiple times that Sono Bello will do what they can to ensure my satisfaction.

If you made it to the end of this post...I'd say there was no horrible thing that happened, but multiple small areas that could have been better (more contact with the physician and more sedation during the procedure would be my top 2). Plus, I have nothing to compare my experience too.”

“I’ve been to Portland’s Sono Bello a handful of times in the last month!

My first visit was as the caregiver for a friend doing a full body procedure. I also attended her first follow up. I was already very impressed with the super friendly and down to earth staff, and the gorgeous office setting... but once I saw her AMAZING results, I booked a consultation for myself!

Upon arriving for the consultation, I was asked to fill out A LOT of paperwork. Hello, thorough! When talking about a procedure that would forever change my body, I LOVE how attentive they are to every detail.

I was called back to a consultation room by a warm and welcoming woman named Shab. Within probably 30 seconds of beginning our conversation, we found out that a medical diagnosis of mine unfortunately disqualified me from the potential of having any procedures done at Sono Bello.

I was bummed... but there was nothing Sono Bello could do for me, so I thanked Shab and stood to leave. Although it was impossible for me to become a Sono Bello patient, Shab took the time to refer me to an outside clinic that specializes in procedures on patients with the medical condition that I face. What?! Of course I wanted a referral!

Shab and the Sono Bello team truly care about each individual patient. I’ve read so many reviews of competing clinics that repeatedly mention feeling like you’re in a factory line, or just a number. That is NOT AT ALL the case here.

As I was again getting ready to leave, I thanked Shab and mentioned I’d write down a list of questions for when I go to the other clinic. She literally said, “Oh, well you’re already here, do you have any questions I could answer?”

And in fact, I totally did!! She was freaking fantastic. I had a handful of questions about differing procedures... lipo in general, not Sono Bello specific. She was so thorough and helped me so much!

I truly wish I could get my procedure done here. Everyone made me so comfortable every time I’ve been in, and all for differing reasons.

If you’re debating on where to go for your procedure, choose Sono Bello! It’s absolutely the right choice :)”

“I had my chin/neck area done and I could not be happier! This entire process was flawless. From my initial consult with Shab to my procedure with Dr. Bensimon. She told me he was amazing but I had no idea how amazing he was until I had my procedure. I have always had a double chin and felt insecure about it. No longer! I’ve never felt so confident. Thank you so much Sono Bello and Dr. Bensimon . You have forever changed my life.”

Shab’s warmth and kindness made me feel like I was talking to a close friend. They aren’t kidding when they say they can help most anyone to be able to afford to get the surgery. I plan to post my before and after photos! My surgery is in 2 1/2 weeks from walking in the door to meet Shab to see about receiving lipo! And Shab set me up with an amazing surgeon whom I was actually admiring the work of on realself.com a week before calling Sonobello! If you’re thinking about it definitely check it out! -Sarah”

“I am very pleased with my gynecomastia surgery. The first time around Dr. Aghayan recommended just lipo but I was not satisfied with the results. Although I was unsatisfied, I actually appreciated that he was conservative as many places can cut out too much. He did a 2nd procedure at no cost honoring their guarantee and actually removing the tissue (while still be conservative) to get the shape I wanted. Everything went smoothly, they numb you up well and the procedure was actually not bad at all. Overall they are professional.”

“I have considered Sonobello for a few years after losing 60 pounds from Bariatric surgery. At 5’1”, I have always carried my extra weight in my middle section. With the weight loss after my gastric sleeve procedure, I had a large flap of skin hanging over. When I began feeling regretful I had lost weight that’s when I decided to meet the surgical team at Sonobello Portland. They got me in right away. I had my procedure that week. I am about a week post op. I have lost 6 pounds already in spite of the swelling and bruising. The flap is gone and I’m pretty excited about that! I’m bruised and swollen, all of which is to be expected. The only thing I regret is waiting three years to have the procedure! I felt safe, well cared for, and my team set realistic expectations of what I could expect post op. I’m looking forward to meeting my new improved body as I continue to heal.”

“Quick Appointment- Great Results!

I was thrilled to discover that Sono Bella was open when I called. They gave me a consultation appointment immediately and soon after, scheduled the pre-op and surgery. I was surprised to see that the person who did my consultation wasn’t medically credentialed (no professional medical acronyms, e.g., RN, LVN, etc.), but she was able to explain the process and cost to me. The personnel were wonderful: kind, patient, and friendly. I especially enjoyed talking to Cheryl who was knowledgeable of the process and helped to allay some concerns regarding post-surgery administrative steps like where my son needed to go to pick me up. The surgeon, Dr. Aghayan, was personable, down-to-earth, and sincere in how he explained the procedures to me. In fact, he helped me decide which areas I wanted treated and was willing to make changes. I was excited to learn that he also has his own practice, “Après Plastic Surgery” where he offers procedures not available at Sono Bella.

It’s been two months since my surgery, and I love the new me. The areas now look smoother and tighter, although, still slightly swollen and sore but I’m able to exercise without limitations. I can’t wait to see the final results in four months. Thank you Sono Bella and Dr. Aghayan!”

As someone going through a 2nd procedure 11 months from the first one all things for the most part are equal.

“My complaint is due to a hospitalization as a result of procedure completed at Sono Bello. During the pre-evaluation, I indicated that I have a sensitivity to anesthesia and the doctor acknowledged he was aware, and this would not be a problem for the procedure.
The procedure took place February 27, 2020. Prior to the procedure I again informed them of the anesthesia sensitivity, and they acknowledged the concern. The procedure proceeded and was to last approximately 2 hours. The procedure started at 12:22PM. When completed they would inform my husband and he could be with me during recovery. The procedure was completed at 14:50 but my husband was not informed until he called in at approximately 1600 and informed of my status. They had him come into a room where I was sitting unresponsive for approximately the past two hours. At 1700 they decided to send me to the hospital via ambulance.
At the hospital, I was given several doses of medication to reverse the effects of the anesthesia with little response. I woke the next morning at approximately 7:00AM. I was not released from the hospital until Sunday.
We went to Sono Bello 7.22.2020 for a clinical follow up and to discuss the situation to find out what resolution we may have for recovering the monies we incurred for the hospitalization. As soon as my husband asked about this the Clinical Manager said, “you signed a consent, and we have no responsibility”. At that time, we got up and walked out because they obviously were not willing to acknowledge the situation and provide a resolution.”

“The Experience: From the first appointment to the third month after the surgery, the front office staff has been professional, efficient and easy to work with. This office is a well oiled machine and is hyper sensitive to their clients' needs.
The Results: One word. Amazing. I chose to lipo my Abs, Waist and Inner Thighs Dr. Aric Aghayan (or Dr. A as I like to call him) was a miracle worker. He had a great partner in Yvette Guzman LPN. Together they worked magic. I cannot begin to tell you how transformed my body is. Funny, three months in, I haven't really lost that much weight, maybe 15 lbs but the inches I've lost are insane. Best way to describe is with pictures. I'm attaching them to this review. Really great work! I highly recommend. If you are on the fence, Do it! You will wish you did it sooner.
Couple of things to note: 1. Invest in a compression garnment once the ones they give you are too loose. I ordered a smaller one from the same brand that Sono Bello provided. I wore that garnment for 2 and a half months before I just couldn't stand it anymore. 2. MOVE. You have to move as much as possible. The first two weeks I was logging 20,000 steps a day because my body was antsy. When I didn't move for a good amount of time, I noticed I was a lot more sore. 3. Take lots of pictures and your measurments. It's hard to get perspective otherwise. Weighing yourself will not give you the validation of just how much your body is changing.
Good Luck Everyone! Wishing you all the best results!”

“Absolutely the worst. $8,000 later and the results were so bad you couldn't tell the difference between before and after. I complained and they offered me a procedure that wasn't approved. The Dr who performed my procedure is no longer there.

And really, the commercials. Who do you know that gets lypo on their tummy and their face, arms etc. also get smaller. These are diet models!

I'm guessing the 5 star ratings are posted by the Dr.s and their friends. Two employees said they receive multiple complaints and they only have one licensed Dr. in a region.

Worst ever!!!!”

My Dr Sobel was awesome and I’m really happy with the results so far and I’m barely 2 weeks out.

She is always very honest and has always set me up with the best doctor to get me the results I am looking for. I have sent many friends (and even my mother) to Sono Bello and they have all been thrilled. I’ve wasted so much money before finding Sono Bello on other procedure that promised me results and I was disappointed every time. When you hear the saying “you get what you pay for” it’s true. Everything I have done was work every penny!!! If you are for real results you need to go to Sono Bello and are Shab. She will be honest and real. If they can get you the results you want she will tell you and set you up with the best doctor.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the PORTLAND SONOBELLO TEAM! First off, on my consultation day I was greeted by this very kind and friendly staff name Cheryl. Then I met with the consultant by the name of Shaab and let me tell you, this beautiful lady had answered ALL of my questions and concerns and is a straight up, genuine person, professional and knowledgeable! She helped me every step of the way and is a very honest person. And what I meant by honest is... All other consultants I’ve ever met has always want to make money and wouldn’t tell you the truth and don’t care, BUT SHAAB would tell me straight up that I shouldn't do this one area (and laughed about it because they’re no fat there to suck out) but instead use it for an area that’s needed. I was just testing her and she PASSED!!! Then shortly after I was taking back to do my pre-op and met with Nurse Jennifer and Oxy to take my photos, vitals, weight and etc. Once again very nice and friendly! And soon after I met with my Dr. Lewis and he is AWESOME! I’ll admit I was really nervous at first but after talking to him, I can tell he’s very knowledgeable and skilled. He’s down to earth, and most importantly, he truly listened to me.

On the day of my surgery I was so nervous! Came in the office and seeing the beautiful smile on Cheryl made me feel a lot better. She greeted me and tell me it’ll be okay. Very sweet lady! Then I was called back by Nurse Stephanie and once again a very sweet lady that would chat with me and made me feel at ease. She answered all my concerns and questions as well! And made me laugh a few times too. Last but not least I met with Dr. Lewis. He made sure everything is prepared for the surgery and did his drawings and answering my concerns as well. I like talking to Dr. Lewis because he talks to you like a friend not like a client. Can you believe I was awake the whole time of my surgery chatting away??? Yep! Sure did! And thank you Stephanie for holding my hand the whole way through! You guys are AWESOME!!!

PORTLAND SONOBELLO TEAM IS THE BEST!!

I will update my before and after photos soon!”

My next step is to go on to the show botched so it can all be fixed. DO NOT USE SONO BELLO NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED. IT'S ALL THE SAME COMPANY AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AT THE END. IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE FROM YOU.”

Two weeks in and I'm healing as normal as I can be and can already see a difference. The swelling and bruising have gone done a lot and I was back to work two days after my procedure (may not be the same for everyone as everyone heals differently). Looking forward to keeping up with my diet of protein and low sodium and cardio three times a week for 30 mins. Can't wait for my 3 month post op apt to really see the Sono Bello difference!

She called me over like one would call out to a dog. I thought it was odd and even mentioned it to my husband. I decided to just ignore that because I really wanted the procedure. Once we got back to her office she was so rude and condescending that I had to leave the initial consultation. We contacted the manager who told us that the sales lady had completely made a story about my husband forcing me to be there. She clearly said that to cover up her horrible behavior because she treated us so horribly. The manager told us we could come back and see a different sales person. No apology, no promise that this women will receive discipline or even customer service training.
That was how they chose to handle this. This women was horrible! I hate to mention I am in a interracial marriage but the way this women treated me was so bad that I am racking my mind trying to figure out why.
I am so sick of large companies just treating people like a number because they monopolize an industry. Avoid this place at all costs!!!!”

There was a small area that did not heal as it should have and it made a cherry size bump on my left hip. When I went for my 6 month appointment, my aftercare nurse asked Dr Aghayan to look at the small area. He fixed it a couple of weeks later. Cat the surgery nurse was congenial during my fix. I am very happy with all of the results and all of the staff. When I walked through the door, Cheryl on the front desk called me by name.

“I am 38 years old and a mother of 5 children. Over the course of the 5 pregnancies I had developed a fatty flap at the bottom of my abdomen. No loose skin just fat. And even after getting back down to my prepregnancy weight, I couldn't get rid of it. So I looked at a few places and decided to go with sono bello. I went for my consultation and the staff was very nice and professional. I didn't sit in the waiting area for a long time waiting to see my nurse or the surgeon. And that told me that they didn't over book their clients and my procedure wouldn't be a rush job. I didn't have the money to pay up front for the procedure and they helped me with that to. My surgeon went over the procedure with me and told me that I should be realistic about my results. At first I was worried but Jennifer my consultant was very helpful in reassuring me that I had one of the best plastic surgeons aboard. He had the best bed side manor imaginable. And being a nurse myself, it really made a difference. He discussed the risk of the procedures and instructed me to get cleared by my cardiologist before the procedure could be done. The day of my procedure I arrived a little early and I was taken to the back immediately. I was greeted by my nurse and my surgeon. He drew on my stomach and asked me if I was ready. I was so nervous. I don't remember how long the procedure took. I fell asleep during the procedure. When I woke up we were done. The nurse put a abdominal binder on me and said everything went well. She was very gentle with me during and after the procedure. She gave my caregiver excellent instructions about how to mange pain and to make sure I continued to Take my antibiotics. I wasnt in pain right away but the next day I really felt it. My caregiver helped me with my bath the next day and when she took off my binder it was breath taking. I had curves again!!. She looked at me and said you look so sexy right now. Even with the swelling l was satisfied with the results. She had the same surgery done a couple of years ago in the Dominican republic and she had multiple areas of hard scar tissue. She said"your results are so good,I wish I had your surgeon." I'm still swollen and today I was able to wear a pair of spandex tights without packing 2 stomachs into them and wearing a long t shirt to cover up. My kids said its kinda weird that I don't have that mommy tummy anymore. I feel great!! Thank you Sono bello”

“I am 58 years old and was told that no matter what I did with diet and exercise my mid section was going to expand due to age and menopause. This was unexceptable, my daughter told me about Sonobello I decided to check it out and I could not have been happier. I had the laser lipo on my abdomen and arms, Dr. Malin, NurseTeresa, and after Care Nurse Aleathic were all amazing. I would definitely recommend Sonobello Portland Office so professional, caring and the results are absolutely beyond amazing. So take that menopause......”

“Herded through like cattle. They totally knocked me out on the table, except for waking up on occasion because the pain and nausea was so severe. They are not honest about the pain you are going to feel during the procedure, or after. It’s been two weeks and I still need pain medication at night because of swelling and pain. Incision from hip to hip, painful, hot, and sore at two weeks post-op. Not sure about the final results yet, obviously, but so far regretting this. Also, no follow up call from doctor. Made me feel like I was just a BIG $$$ sign for them.”

“So my story begins with menopause, I am 59 years old I watch what I eat and work out 4-5 days a week. I started to notice my mid section expanding no matter what I did diet or exercise. I went into the doctors for my physical and was told that once you hit age 55 this is what happens to your body and basically there was nothing I could do. This was unacceptable to me, my daughter had told me about Sonobello so I decided to book a consultation to explore my options. The reception staff was amazing, so professional and welcoming, I decided to go ahead with the Laser Liposuction. I met with Dr. Malin and he explained the procedure in detail and was very comforting I admit I was a little nervous, but Dr. Malin's put me at ease and I actually felt excited about getting my body back. The day of the surgery I met with my nurse Teresa loved her she knew I was still a little nervous and she put me at ease they let you pick your music to hear during the procedure I loved it. Dr. Malin came in right before the procedure and confirmed the areas of the surgery and gave me the sedatives. During the procedure I was awake and relaxed. After the procedure went home and slept the reminder of the day. The next morning I woke up and looked at body and could not believe how tiny I was, realizing that the swelling had not set in, but I knew from day one my results were going to amazing. What I really loved about Sonobello is there follow up from the phones call to the weekly emails you receive to let you know what it is going on with body (the best), including meeting with my after care Nurse Aleathic , she is the best I always felt I was her only patient, from her explanation of what the next steps were going to take place, to the suggestions for making me comfortable. Six months later, AMAZING RESULTS take that menopause. From the staff to the results I am so elated and would recommend this procedure and going to the Sonobello Office in Portland they are the best.”

“I was not prepared for how painful and long lasting recovery would be. The swelling and discomfort was minimized in initial description. The explanation being that everyone heals differently when I experienced more pain and longer discomfort than I expected. This was not a minor procedure, as I had falsely perceived. I was in no way able to get back to work in three days as projected. I missed a week and went back to work with serious discomfort and fatigue into the second week. I feel the Dr. and staff were supportive and caring, but I would not recommend this procedure to anyone if asked. It is so much more painful and requires so much more time to heal than I realized it would. I think the amount of fat removed and number of areas treated made this more difficult for me. Other people probably have experienced a quicker recovery.”

“I spent 21k and had absolutely no change, on the day of the surgery I told the doctor I was sick with a fever and was told if I didn’t do the surgery I would lose all my money. The day after surgery I was diagnosed with pneumonia, one year later I ask if I could do the surgery again, I didn’t ask for anything free I was told no they wouldn’t do it again but if I went to the doctors private practice he would do it? These people are in the habit of stealing your money while promising false dreams.. this surgery is for people 5-10 pounds overweight the commercials are strait up lies save your money people sonobello is one big expensive pipe dream and should be sued for false advertising. If anyone does a class action let me know I’ll be part of it”

When I ask the Dr I got the feeling that it would had been obvious (I can provide examples). Please feel free to contact me if needed.

“I had liposuction of my abdomen, waist, and flanks with Dr. Malin, a board-certified plastic surgeon. I am so beyond happy with the care I received and with my results. The surgery was six months ago, and it's true, the results keep getting better with time as your body heals and your skin tightens up. I went from feeling frumpy, lumpy, chubby, bumpy, rocking that economy-sized muffin top all the time, to now feeling like a curvy bombshell. Clothes fit better. I am more confident naked (important in Portland, with the naked bike ride and all! lol).

I met Dr. Malin during my pre-op consultation - that's the visit where they draw all over you - and I was encouraged by his amiability and professionalism. It was important to me that my doctor be board-certified, so Dr. Malin's certification put me at ease. There were also some great reviews of him on realself.com, an online forum for people interested in talking to others freely about plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures. On the day of the surgery, I was given diazepam and something else (the memory is hazy, as you might imagine) to keep me sedated but not generally anesthetized. I felt nothing and remember nothing from the procedure. In fact, my first memory after the procedure is from hours later, when my friend who took me home was hanging out in my apartment with me, just making sure I was ok. On the first day my results looked amazing, and then (as I was told to expect) the swelling set in. I went back to work on post-op day four. Personally, if I had a more sedentary job, that would have been fine, but I have an active job and I would have benefited from another day of rest. I made it through, though! The swelling lessened dramatically about one week after the procedure, but it persisted a little bit for a couple months. I lived in maxi dresses.

I came to Sono Bello for all my scheduled post-op appointments. I was surprised that I didn't really lose any weight - maybe two pounds total? But think about what a pound of butter looks like - that was basically removed from the areas I disliked on my body. 100% worth it. My scars have healed really nicely. They're visible but they look no bigger or darker than, say, an acne scar, and they'll still lighten up with time. I started dating someone new after the procedure and he didn't even notice the scars until I showed him. When I told him I had liposuction, I was concerned what he would think, but he just said "whatever makes you happy." So for anyone worrying about what people would think of you if you had a cosmetic procedure: anyone worth your time will respect the decisions you make about your body, especially when you're trying to feel better about yourself.

Most importantly to me, my results affected more than my physical appearance. Since I was young I've always struggled with my body image, and that kind of self-consciousness sometimes permeated into the other things I do. Since having liposuction, some of that self-consciousness has simply fallen away. Is my body perfect now? No! But taking a dramatic step to change something about my body that diet and exercise never could, and then needing to be kind and nurturing to myself while I healed, changed something in me and now I have this attitude of generous acceptance of myself and my body. I don't think people realize that a cosmetic procedure can have this kind of effect on somebody, but it's really proven an amazing turning point for me.

Bottom line: if you're thinking about it, I recommend it! Dr. Malin and his team will take really great care of you.”
