“From my initial consult with Stephanie she was incredible. She was very knowledgeable and gave me realistic expectations on what to expect. I decided to move forward with the procedure. I met my surgeon Dr Martinez who was just the cutest. She made me feel at ease and excited about this journey. I am 1 week post op and I am thrilled. I can see my woman parts again. As a female this is very self conscious area. I can’t wait to see what I look like in a few months. Ladies do this for yourself.
You will only regret not doing it sooner.”

And then Dr Martinez, I swear is a god among us lol the magic she was able to do today absolutely amazed me! I'm so happy to have my body back to the way it was before I had kids!

“The staff at Sono Bello in St Louis, MO were unbelievably caring, supportive, and great to be around. They've created a relaxed but professional environment. The staff clearly enjoys working together and the front and back teammates
clearly strive to work together as 1 unit and communicate with each other in a respectful, "team" oriented environment. Both areas of life this particular practice- are fast, effective, and fluid. I write all this because I have worked in the private sector of the healthcare system, and I personally know how challenging it is for back (surgical) staff and the front (clerical) staff to meld into one unit.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best medical unit for my surgery! It made me feel at ease, reassured, and confident in my decision to have.this done.”

“Horribly experience from the consultation reps that evidently aren't located in the area. They was able to tell me general pricing for 3 areas but was unable to give me a general price on only 1 area. I understand that prices vary but they should still be able to give you an average price or at least a starting price. It was a scripted sales pitch and was not pleasant. Not everybody has the time to drive an hour and then do an hour consultation during working hours and then drive an hour back if the trip isn't going to be worth it. So unless you got time and money to waste then I wouldn't recommend them.”

Starting from the consultation with Stephanie, she gave me a lot of information and answered everything I had questions about. My surgeon who was Dr. Martinez was amazing. During my pre op appointment she informed me on every detail I needed to know about my procedure and what to do after to help me recover the best way possible. Dr. Martinez definitely had my best interest and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Martinez did an amazing job and made me feel like everything was okay throughout the entire procedure. I am very happy and impressed with my results so far.”

“Kristine has been wonderful and I appreciate everything she did to help me. However I feel like I should have talked to a doctor during my consultation rather then waiting until the pre op appointment. During consultation, I was made to think I was a good candidate for smart lipo but during the pre op, the doctor let me know that I really need to lose weight and would not see any dramatic change with sonobello's service. I feel like it was a waste of the company's time and mine to go through financing and making appointments. I am grateful that the doctor was very honest and that's why I feel like I should have seen the doctor during my consultation. To top it off they will not give me a refund of my downpayment, even though I didn't have any work done. I feel like sonobello tricked me and took my money. Now I'm being told oh that doctor you spoke with is conservative and we want you to talk to another doctor we have. I feel like they would say anything and I cannot trust them what they say. I definitely would not recommend.”

She knows exactly what I mean when I say she takes care of her clients. Bottom line is if you want to make a change in your life, are thinking about where to go. SonoBello in Creve Couer is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back!!!”

Then seeing my consultant Kristen, who was very personable and kind, she even laughed at my dry jokes. Dr. Gage, is awesome, he is very down to earth and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. He was going to take good care of me and he did. Then Britney my RN, she was about her business, there was no such thing as a stupid question and she made sure any lingering thoughts and doubts talked about, understood and confidence instilled.

“I feel very lucky to have gotten the team I did to help me get my journey started! My consultant Kristine was the sweetest and helpful with answering all my questions, listening to my concerns, and helping me find best package , and even getting me financed! Day of surgery, Tiara was my best friend for the day. I was so nervous, she would just keep reminding me why i was there. She'd let me just ramble on about whatever, we laughed, I cried lol. It was super comforting to have with me, and the stress ball idea in my worst moment, was exactly what I needed, ty!
Dr Gage is very professional, honest and compassionate. He's been more than helpful before, during and even after my procedure. I had some concerns, he took all into consideration and told me what I needed to hear, and not what I wanted to hear. I had a couple of what turned out to be minor issues, but in the moment wasn't sure if it was major or not, and Kristen was on the other end of the phone with me for both of them. Kristen was amazing and a great help with getting me answers, giving suggestions to help always checking back in with me after each one. I was happy to have her at my 1 week post op appointment, where she made me feel really good about my decision, and gave me some really good advice, went above and beyond to help answer all my questions! She really is the perfect person for that position.
Nicole and Cassie are stellar at what they do! Everything you call there, it's usually one of them and they are quick to get you what yiu need or to who you need. Every time I called or texted, which was alot lol, they were on top of whatever it was I needed, and or super quick to respond back!
This has definitely been an experience, and I couldn't have hand picked a better team to share it with! ❤️”

“When making the choice to ma
ke a decision to my body I was nervous and not sure on my intentions. After meeting with Stephanie my consultant I knew immediately I had made the right choice. Although I remained nervous deciding to make a transformation the excitement and upmost professionalism their team offered to me gave me the knowledge and courage to fullfill a long time goal. I am one week past surgery and I already have immediate change. I am excited to see the transformation as I heal in the next few months. Dr. Lionelli's bed side manner is sensational to his honesty and the ability allow me to feel comfortable. The nurses at Sono Bello are there to answer all questions and their follow up is extremely helpful.
You can transform and feel better in your body at any age and I am so glad I made the choice to call.

I cannot thank you enough Stephanie for sharing your thoughts and experience of what exactly I needed to do, so tomorrow is a new day and a new me thank you to Stephanie it was like sitting across from a good friend that I haven’t talked to and just told me what I needed to hear and do. So tomorrow that is what I am going to do:) ….Stephanie from the bottom of my heart Thank you seriously thank you because you was absolutely correct and I needed to hear it I guess. !!! People I am telling you if you are thinking of going and have the chance to talk to Stephanie I’m telling you that you will definitely be blessed she is truthful and honest and that is exactly what people need honest people! I need back surgery and I need 11 pounds gone but my body type is just not worth going through it sure I could have spent a few k and not get really the results I wanted but that’s when the honesty came just saying I have had many surgeries and she is THE FIRST that has ever been so openly honest with me and talked to me and it helped me emotionally more than she will ever know thank you Stephanie.

“Sono Bello has been a great experience for me. I was so nervous going into my procedure but everyone from start to finish did a great job of putting me at ease and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Cassie and Nikole were very prompt in answering and returning all of my calls, my consultant Stephanie did a great job of answering all of my questions and working her magic with the schedule. Dr. Lionelli was an absolute pleasure to be around and he was very thorough in his explanation of what to expect during surgery so there were no surprises. My nurse Brittany was a big help throughout the entire process making sure I was informed of what to expect and what my next steps were. My only regret is not trying Sono Bello sooner!”

“I am not happy at all. I had my procedure on July 31. Not much has changed except I have a lip at the bottom of my stomach. It clearly states that if you’re not happy with the results you can come back within the year of having the procedure if you haven’t gained any weight. I lost 10 lbs and abdomen is still sticking out. I had my “6 month” visit today and all I can say is I wouldn’t recommend any one to Dr.Gage he Seems like all he care about is money instead of trying to solve my issue he states that he can’t do anything unless I pay for a tummy tuck. Now I just paid 6,400 for absolutely nothing. It feels like I still have fatty pockets in my stomach. All Dr. gauge keept saying was diet and exercise diet and exercise and there was nothing he could do. I lost 10 pounds I watch my diet and I do exercise I am 5’5 161 pounds I’m not trying to be 5’5 and wearing a size 2. I could have taken my money to a Board-certified doctor in Miami and paid almost $3000 less, and it would’ve been done right. If you look at the pictures the dates are on them you can tell that there wasn’t much of a change so no I’m not happy with this procedure with that doctor at all now I have to walk around depressed self-conscious of how my abdomen looks it’s disgusting”

Everyone made me feel a lot more comfortable, even though I was very nervous. Cassie and Nicole were extremely nice. Kristine was excellent in explaining the process and was a joy to work with. Dr. Gellis was a fantastic surgeon. My nurse, Britney was very through and sweet. Overall, I am very impressed by the way everything was handled. Thank you so much, Marilyn.”

“Stef at Senad Bello that helped me were: Consultant Stephanie
Pre-surgery nurse Miguel
Dr. Gellis
Post-op nurse Britney
Follow up nurse Britney
Front desk Casey and Nicole.
(Britney is amazing, she made me feel very comfortable. Sweet young lady.
Everyone is very knowledgeable, very friendly,
Helpful. Just a great team.
Few years back I had done cool sculpting which did not work for me at all, no results. Which made this little bit difficult for me since cool sculpting created lotta scar tissue so some parts of my procedure was little uncomfortable.
Today is exactly 9 days, since I’ve done it and I already see results. Amazing I’m very excited.
One thing I would mention if you do more physical work do not rush back. I went back three days later and I was a little uncomfortable, maybe shorten your hours for few days.”

Omg l have to brag on the excellent nurses they have. My post-op nurse was Britney who just happened to be fantastic 👏. A total pro👌. And of course I have to thank my surgeon, Dr. Lionelli 🙌. He is so wonderful, and answers all your questions. If you are an anxious person at all, no worries, they will definitely ease your mind and take great care of you. Thank all of you so much. The ones I didn't name as well. Everyone was so awesome ❤”

She answered all of my questions, calmed my anxieties and got me ready in a way that I knew exactly what to expect. I really hope she will be acknowledged for her excellence.
Additionally, I was lucky enough to have TIARA as my nurse. From her calling my name in the waiting room to dropping me off at the car she was absolute perfection through my entire pre-op, procedure, and post-op. She calmed my anxiety and made me laugh-she was perfect at her job. I work in healthcare and I know that people are always quick to complain when something goes wrong. I just wanted to let you know that Stephanie and Tiara made everything perfect and provided me with excellent care.
Dr. Buck was also great and I had total confidence in him from go. Thanks for my wonderful experience-I plan to send and tell all of my friends of my great time there. I’m gonna have a whole pile of skinny jeans-ha! Thanks again for everything!!”

“From the moment of my consultation to the day of the procedure, all my questions were answered. I was able to contact them by text, which allowed for amazing response time. I had my upper and lower abdomen and my back done. I am on day 3 post op, and actually feel amazing. There is very very minimal discomfort when you try to bend a little, but over all it has been a breeze. I followed all the guidelines to the “t” and that is what I attribute to my great success thus far. Dr. Buck and nurse Hannah were amazing. I think I talked their ears off during the procedure, I was that comfortable. It’s to early to know the full extent of how it went, but I feel lighter in the abdomen. I hope this review gives you the comfort and confidence to do this if you are interested. Follow all the instructions and you will do great.”

“This procedure was much more painful and traumatic than advertised. The doctor only appeared to care about my well being. He repeatedly scolded me and told me to stay still during the procedure despite the fact that I was in evident pain. I vomited for ten hours after the procedure. I could not even keep water down. I needed help but didn’t get any support from them. When I shared my concerns at my follow up appointments, the only relief I was offered was a “touch up” session, which obviously means more of the previous treatment. Be wary of this! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”

I saw dr. twice, before, and same day of procedure, follow up visits are handled by nurses. I requested a follow up w dr because there are several missed spots I have to wait more than 2 months for an appt. Not very happy. Tried to complete their survey and shows error.

“Words can not describe the contrast of what I thought the procedure would be like and how it really was. Dr. Willis was so thoughtful and empathetic about his approach that I never dreamed I would be so pleased with the experience. I can't explain to you how lucky I feel to have gotten him as a doctor. It's also strange to even think that I really enjoyed this whole process. Considering it's natural to be somewhat afraid of the unknown.
From the first visit with Stephanie to going home after the procedure, the staff was first class and I never thought I would say I felt wonderful the day after. Here I am two days post operation and I'm in awe of the entire process and result. Even with the swelling I can tell my physique is dramatically improved and the excitement is overwhelming. Of course I'm a little sore but I have had workouts put me in more pain than this. Going into this I was afraid, and nervous. To a point I almost did not go through with it. Now I am overjoyed and pumped. Not only about the result, but how relieved I am of how everything went.
Thank you Dr. Willis for making this experience one I will remember in such a positive light. Cheers, you are the best!”

In addition Ive read/heard so many horror stories of people not being able to reach any staff for questions/concerns after paying their deposit. My procedure has been paid for in full and the staff are still outstandingly available. I’m super excited and can’t wait to leave a review post-op 🙂”

I feel like part of the family!!!! What a great team Dr Shatz and Sono Bello has created! Dr was so gentle during my procedure and he also did the EX procedure and his technique is superb. I am one week post op and I could not be more satisfied with my choice! The whole office has been completely accommodating for my schedule, Stephanie, Alli and Cassie made sure I was 100% taken care of who ich is such a breathe of fresh air since it is hard for my work schedule to make appointments.

“My experience with Sono Bello in The St Louis office was wonderful ! From the start, the surgery coordinator Hannah made me feel instantly at ease. It’s hard to talk about the part of yourself that makes you uncomfortable. I felt safe to share my reasons for wanting surgery because we all have a story. I had laser liposuction.
Meeting Dr Lionelli was such a highlight ! He is exceptional at his craft. Of course surgery is scary but he made me feel like I would get through all of it and come out with so much more confidence. You cannot put a price on bedside manor . He was so kind and I got through surgery great. There is some pain that comes with the procedure and the entire staff was there to get me through it. He even called me after to check in as well as the staff .
You can tell Dr Lionelli was born to do this :)
Brittney, my nurse was beyond helpful. I even special requested her to be there during surgery and she happily obliged. She related to me and held my hand if I got nervous. Answered all of my questions and calmed me.
The entire staff cheers you on as you are going through this new body transition /journey ! I cannot thank them enough for encouraging me without being a pushy sales person(s), I did my research and education on liposuction surgery and chose Sono Bello for all of the above reasons and many more! Their professionalism is exceptional . I’m still healing and can not wait to see even more change !
Thank you”

“From beginning to end my experience was amazing. Upon my initial contact the representative was very patient and flexible with working out a date and time that works best for me. My consultation with the doctor was very thorough and he was very detailed and his explanation and sat and talked with me until I was finished. I did not feel rushed or as if I was another case he was just trying to get out of there, he sat there patiently and took the time to answer questions and concerns and walked me through how the entire process would be beginning to end. The day of my procedure I was very comfortable with the process knowing what was gonna happen and everybody from the nurse to the doctor to post care was very attentive to any needs that I had. And my postop visit was just as awesome as she patiently sat and answered all my questions, and addressed all my concerns and never did I feel rushed to get out of there or ridiculous for asking my questions. I have recommended this location to several friends and will continue to do so.”

“I am 72 and had lost weight. I works out a lot, but could not lose my stomach fat. I though about going there, but I assume it was really expensive. The surgery part did not bother me because I am use to them. Anyway, I finally got tired of not being able to cut my toe nails. I made an appointment and the rest is history. It does not cost a lot and I had no problems with anything. The best money I ever spend. I just wish I had done it sooner. I love the way I look. Some young man (well young to me) I would say he was in his forties told me how slim I was. I am not slim I just don't have a stomach. Thank You, Sono Bello.”

“All I can say is WOW! From the second I walked in the door Cassie greeted me with a huge smile and such a welcoming voice. I had my consultation and felt so supported by the consultant. She eased my worries and really made the decision to move forward so simple. I had the procedure done and I am AMAZED by my results! I can’t believe how fast I noticed my body transformation and the down time was so easy. I would recommend SONO BELLO to anyone interested in changing your life for the better! Huge thank you to the staff! ”

“This place is a rip off, I went in for a regular consultation to see what they got, I never got to see any of the doctors only a tech who was desperate to get any money from me without explaining the rules, she got me excited and dump me fell for it and put down a deposit, she was talking so fast and was trying so hard to trap me!!! after reading about it I changed my mind and the very next day I called to cancel the procedure and asked to get my money back, I was told it was non refundable, I mean honestly I did consultations with better places and I wasn’t charged this much, they got the nerve to tell me I signed for the agreement that wasn’t explained to me!!!!!!! I’ll never in my life set a foot in this place again!! UNTRUSTED AND UN ETHICAL!!!! Don’t fall for them they’re phony 😑”

“I was scheduled for procedures in the St. Louis office. On the day of my surgery date I was contacted via text stating that someone had cancelled before me and the doctor wanted to know if I could come in earlier. I had began having concerns about having my procedure done at this office due to the nature of my initial consultation and meeting with the doctor. I relayed this concern I had and mentioned cancelling my procedure. The office associate called me and I explained my concerns to her. At that time I told her that I wished to proceed with my appointment. She told me, "Well, I don't think the doctor wants to do it today/stay at the office now." "Let me talk to him and call you back." After 20-30 minutes she called me back and said that the doctor was not giving her the answer she wanted and that he was refusing to stay at the office to fulfill my procedure at the original time it was scheduled for. She said she would refund part of my money but that basically I would have to forfeit the other $2300 I paid in advance even though ultimately the doctor was the one that was cancelling. After we got off the phone I receive a text stating "I think I can get the doctor to stay now can you give me 10 minutes to confirm." At that time I was dropped back off home by my ride, drinking coffee, and with my children. So, no, after the whole ordeal I was not willing to wait around again to see if the doctor would stay for my SCHEDULED PROCEDURE. I contacted the office and have been refused a refund. I was offered free services, money off services, but refused a refund of the money I deposited. I had no procedure done. The whole ordeal was handled very inappropriately.
These people are trained to market you and pressure you into signing the dotted line, making a deposit, and making an appointment. You are seen by an office associate for initial appointment. Not a doctor or a nurse that can answer medical questions appropriately. The office associate was very pushy. This office puts on big smiles and a nice tone of voice, but ultimately they only care about the money your putting in their pockets. ”

“My initial consult went great, I was not kept waiting and the lady that helped me was very informed and thorough on the procedure. Once we finalized the plans, I was booked two weeks out. I went in for a pre op with Dr Lionelli and he was very kind, informative and honest about the procedure and expectations. I was sent home with everything I needed to be ready for my procedure.
The day of surgery I showed up and everything proceeded on time. I was nervous but Dr Lionelli was very considerate and patient. He went over everything again and marked the areas he would be working on and I was given medication.
Once the procedure started, there was mild discomfort and occasional medium discomfort and Dr Lionelli was very attentive, he paused every few minutes to look over and ask me how I was doing and make sure I was as comfortable as possible. The time seemed to go by quickly and before long I was being helped into my garments and on my way home. Within 4-5 days I was able to do most normal everyday things without anything more than mild discomfort. I found that exercise (walking) really helped me. Once I unwrapped my binder on day three I was surprised to see such a big transformation because I had been warned ahead of time that the results would not be as evident until the swelling went down. Everyday is better and at 7 days post op I could not be happier with my results! Dr Lionelli did an AMAZING job of contouring my waste and hips. My 21 year old and I have a very similar figure now and today someone asked if we were sisters 👯♀️ Knowing it’s only going to get better is mind blowing to me since I’m already so happy with how I look!
I highly recommend Sono Bello of Creve Coeur and am very glad I made the choice to transform my body!”

The day of my procedure nurse Melissa explained how everything was going to go and Dr. Leonelli came in and explained as well. I am 2 weeks post-op and my results are awesome. I am still sore and recommend that if you are able to, take 2-3 weeks off to recover. I say that because I am a waitress and I took 9 days and honestly it wasn't long enough for the 8 hour day a waitress entails. But I am very happy with the results. I would recommend Sonobello.”

Both the Nurses I had, the day I had my consultation made me feel relaxed because she was relaxed calm and made sure I understood what was happening then and what's going to happen later, very helpful. The other nurse the day of surgery she was very helpful and explained the surgery procedure and went further into it and had a good sense of humor, made me feel that it's ok to be talking and laughing as my fat is hanging out all over, that it was no big deal and that can be fixed. She made me feel it's all going to be ok. Then there’s the Dr. Shatz, he is wonderful told me this is how it's going to be expect this don’t expect that. I think he did a wonderful job. I’m still swollen it's only been 3 days since the surgery no severe pain have not needed to take the pain meds they gave me just a little discomfort bending, sitting and getting up otherwise for the most part it went very well.

I’m not sure if she was really listening to my goals .. because she seemed desperate.. I felt a lot of pressure and it made me uncomfortable (like high pressure sales).. she asked me to do the surgery the very next day.. and if I did she would take off 4,000.00$.. I ran outta of there.. it seemed very shady.. I was considering until she said that.. no thank you.. be careful ladies.. this is your health and your life”

“I had a wonderful experience with Sono Bello from my consultation with Stephanie through my first week follow up, which was today! I had my upper and lower stomach, waist, and back fat worked on. I am still healing, but the results are already AMAZING! I already feel a lot better about how my stomach looks now. My trouble areas had to do with that stubborn fat that would never go away! During my meeting with the surgeon, Dr. Shatz removed all my doubts by answering all of my questions and being straight forward with how the procedure would go. During the surgery, Dr. Shatz let me know step by step what he was about to do. I felt a little pain in one area during the process and Dr. Shatz stopped what he was doing, and numbed me up some more before continuing. I would go back and get other areas done in a heartbeat!”

I am still healing, but the results are already AMAZING! I already feel a lot better about how my stomach looks now. My trouble areas had to do with that stubborn fat that would never go away! During my meeting with the surgeon, Dr. Shatz removed all my doubts by answering all of my questions and being straight forward with how the procedure would go. During the surgery, Dr. Shatz let me know step by step what he was about to do. I felt a little pain in one area during the process and Dr. Shatz stopped what he was doing, and numbed me up some more before continuing. I would go back and get other areas done in a heartbeat!”

“ I was contacted by Melinda ( The practice manager ) A couple of months ago and was told I had to take my review down or they would take legal action. I was just wondering when our freedom of speech became illegal? Why can I not tell my side of the story just because it was bad? They don’t want any negative feedback or negative reviews because it makes them look bad, yet I got a procedure done with no results went back and had what they call a revision with still no results. Then they had me do Venus which was a joke. I followed all the rules on what to do afterwards and absolutely no change whatsoever to my body. Again, this is called freedom of speech! ”

“All of the Sono Bella staff, except for the doctors, are very polite and welcoming. The doctors are rude, uncaring, and unprofessional. I had surgery done on my lower abs, upper abs, and waist. After the horrible pain and sleeping all day for a few days, when I could finally get up and do something it was still a very slow recovery even though I used everything that Sono Bello gave me which included a scar cream, bruising pills, pain pills, a bruising and pain rub lotion, and two compression garments. I wore the compression garments and used everything that I could for the full six weeks that I was told to. Still after six weeks there were no visible changes in the areas of my surgery. My stomach area was very squishy and flabby like Jell-O which I figured was the liquid that was injected into me before the surgery that I could not get rid of even though they told me to drink water and a lot of it, which I did. They proceeded to have me see their head doctor which flew in from Arizona, who was about as rude as they come. He wasn’t going to do the revision because he said I had gained 5 pounds, which I told him in women we can fluctuate 5 pounds in a day depending on what we drink and what we eat and he did not believe me. Anyway after talking to the office manager, she had talked the doctor into doing my revision which he still did not want to do all of this he was only going to do my abs and not my waist. Finally he told me he would do the full revision and blamed it on the previous doctor not taking enough fat cells out. So I went and had my revision done causing more scars on me and this doctor did not go inside my belly button he went above my belly button which then took three months to heal, caused a scar over where my belly button ring goes so I couldn’t put my belly button ring back in and now the hole is completely closed and I cannot wear my belly button ring. So again I had to go through the pain, the sleeping, and the not being able to really do anything, six weeks worth of the stupid compression again which I did and drinking plenty of water which I did. Only to realize that very little change had happened again. So threatening to take them to channel 2 news about it, the manager of the office decided to give me eight sessions of what they called Venus. So I go and do once a week a session of Venus for eight weeks which takes me one hour to get there, and absolutely no results. I just went for my final check up and still had gained the weight, my belly is still jiggly in the area that I said is liquid, and was told that it was fat and maybe a medicine that I am on is causing me to gain weight. I was told that all areas that have the Lipo will never ever grow fat cells again so why do I still have fat cells in those areas? I truly think Sono Bello in Creve Coeur is false advertisement and fake products. It cost me almost $6000 to have those three areas done and I am still disappointed In the way my midsection looks, I have multiple scars, and do not look very much different than one year ago when all of this started. I do not recommend this facility for anyone looking into liposuction. I would recommend looking into a plastic surgeon locally that does not have offices all over the United States. My husband keeps telling me to get a lawyer and sue them to at least get my money back for not providing me with a service that they said they would. They hype it all up making you think you’re going to come out of there in one day with this beautiful flat stomach and hourglass figure but when in all reality you come out a tiny bit thinner, disappointed, and thousands of dollars poorer. No one there can say that I am lying either because they take lots of pictures of your body before, during treatment, and for six months after. So if anything after reading my review I hope that I save thousands of men and women who are looking into using Sono Bello for their liposuction. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....”

“The service has been exceptional from the beginning, with Stephanie laying out the options, and helping me find the right plan. The entire staff has been professional and kind throughout my journey...always genuinely concerned and helpful. Dr. Porshinsky has also been both professional and honestly kind. He was considerate during the surgery process, asking questions about my pain and comfort, and he called the day after to check on me. He did not only suck the fat out of my body. He took time to artfully sculpt my body, considering how each change would affect the whole. The changes have been incredible! For me, the main purpose of the liposuction was to give me a fresh start both health wise and with feeling better about myself. Before the surgeries I was trying to exercise, but the extra weight combined with some health issues made it almost impossible. I was eating healthy as well, but my medication contributed to weight gain, especially in my belly. Since the surgeries I have been able to cut in half the medication that was contributing greatly affecting my weight. I am also walking 4 miles almost every day, and doing some low impact exercise. I've lost over 40 pounds, and I'm still losing! I've already gone from bursting out of a size 16W to a size 10! That's pretty amazing! Thank you Dr. Porshinsky, Amanda and all of the staff at SonoBello St. Louis! I am grateful!”

“It’s been about a year since my procedure and I am still in love with the results! I still have a pretty decent scar, but to be honest I’ve done minimal to treat it. The staff was amazing. My few suggestions would be to ask TONS of questions during the sales pitch. (It has been some time since my procedure so things can change!) but in my experience I didn’t really know what I was in for until the consultation after I signed the paper work. The doctor was so professional, very clear on what to expect and willing to work around any swim suit etc he could! You ARE AWAKE DURING THE PROCEDURE and there was a lot of pain until the numbing medication kicked it. This procedure is definitely worth the results BUT if you have a low pain tolerance, or blood make your uncomfortable this may not the procedure for you. You will be in a bit of pain the first week or so, but I healed pretty quickly. I am so thankful I got this procedure done here!!! The last two pictures are about 9 months post op!”

There was no pressure, and no pressure was needed. The staff was incredible in every way. Dr Brian Porshinsky performed all 3 of my surgeries, and they were all excellent. I knew what to expect. Even during surgery both Dr P and the nurse were aware of my comfort and physical state. The results are amazing. I was stuck in a catch 22 with my weight and my health/medication, so that exercise was nearly impossible. I am already walking 4 miles at a time, and enjoying low impact aerobics. I’ve lost almost 30 pounds, and my last surgery (of 3) was only 2 weeks ago! I am so thankful for this chance to reclaim my figure and my health. And I’m grateful to Dr Pershinsky and the Sono Bello staff.”

“I have struggle with my midsection weight gain after turning 45 years of age. I tired everything from working out, different diet programs and yes diet pills. I started looking into Sono Bello over a year before I had my actual procedure. I had made at lease 6 no show consultation appointment before keeping my final appointment were I meet with Stephanie at the St. Louis New Ballas location. She was awesome and made me feel like I was focus in the right direction for this jump start of weight loss I wanted.
I left the consultation excited and put my down payment down within the next two weeks. Like most people when you begin to truly focus on the financial obligation you begin to second guess yourself, is this what you want to do. I began to look at the google reviews and questions if I was making the right decision. I called the office numerous times asking all kinds of questions because of the doubts the google review shown. Everytime they answer with patience and reinforcement that it will be ok.
I changed my date and pushed it up and I am now almost 2 weeks after my procedure and I’m so HAPPY with my results. All the nurses were friendly and full of knowledge, Dr. Lionelli was unbelievable awesome. The ONLY disappointment I have, is that I did not do it year ago.
I say to anyone questioning if you should do it....just do it. If its financial obligation there are options call them. For me I saved and I sacrifice something for me. As women we sometimes take care of our families and others, but not ourselves. Choose you this time, you won’t regret it.

The cost was not even close to what I anticipated, considering the cost I spent on endless diet programs which I lost weight but never achieved the shape I expected. I highly recommend if you have stubborn areas that wont go away give Sonobella a call it cost nothing to find out. I'm glad i did and looking forward to the final result .(procedure done 1 week ago)”

“This was the best decision I made this year.
When researching liposuction Sonobello came up so went in to evaluate the procedure and booked my procedure date that day. This was true body contouring and life changing. The staff was friendly and caring every visit. Loved the Dr and he answered all my questions prior to surgery. Was back at work a day after with very little discomfort. 3 months out and love my results. My only regret is not doing it sooner ”

“UPDATE: Sono Bello has wonderfully resolved my issue. Thank you Greatly.
Although my issue was resolved, and now eight months later, my stomach is very lumpy and uneven. I wish I would have chosen differently. My belly looks flat under clothes, however, out of clothes and very fitted shirts tells another story. I'm just not one of the success stories.
Just adding an update. I did not think about it until I was alerted that ppl have read my review. So, I am now going to another doctor for a tummy tuck to correct what was done. Nothing else would help. Please do your research before making this big decision.”

I was not looking to have this surgery to make me look like a super model, just to be comfortable in my cloths and in my skin. I got that and so much more. Thanks Dr L
I have probably talked to every person in the office. I wouldn’t have even gotten this done if it wasn’t for Stephanie talking me through it. I can’t begin to say thank you enough!!!! Their head nurse Amber is incredibly smart and knowledgeable, hands on, and stayed with me the entire process. Malinda , Casey, and Brittany I have spoken to many times, and they really light up office.
The experience was a 10/10. I look In the mirror and I’m really happy with what I see. To the entire staff thank you for giving that to me. You all are amazing!!”

“I had a great experience with my procedure at this Sono Bello location. All the staff were very nice and accommodating. Dr. Shatz performed my procedure, he was very direct and matter of fact, which I appreciated. The office waiting area was very welcoming and comforting. I had liposuction on my upper/lower abs, hips, and sides. The procedure was not painful but was somewhat uncomfortable (but completely tolerable). 3mo post I have noticed a dramatic difference in my lower abs and sides. I still have some areas that are partially numb-which is normal and can apparently take up to 6mo to go away. Overall I am glad I had this procedure.”

After further thought, I am glad that they checked to make sure I did not have a Hiatal Hernia. This was a simple X-ray in the office. Once it was OK to proceed, I started lifestyle changes and have been very happy ever since. Great staff, with supportive feedback. I would HIGHLY recommend this treatment for anyone. Due to my other medical condition, and nursing knowlegde about complications of other surgical weight loss options, Thin-Air has changed my life already! 20+down.”

Dr Shatz always made sure my questions were answered. My 1 week follow up with Amber was just as great. I love the overall communication with the office team and also the emails. It's like they know what I'm thinking and have the answers to me before I can ask. Cassie at the front desk and manager Melinda help make the greeting and exiting of the visit that much more personable. Overall I've had a great experience at Sonobella and recommend to anyone who may be on the fence about getting a procedure done to go visit them in person! It will help you decide that it's the best thing you could do for yourself!!”

I originally intended to get work done on my abdomen which had severe impact from a recent multiple pregnancy, but the doctors and staff were very honest with me about what my expected results from the procedure should be and I ended up getting my inner thigh and hips done instead. The procedure was very easy and the recovery was fast and practically painless! I would definitely do other areas in the past and have great trust in this practice because they took the time to be honest with me about what the procedure could and couldn’t do for my body type. I was very happy with the result!”

I thought that the doctor was so great and he explained everything so completely that I was not worried at all about having this done. Also the staff were so kind and caring, that they called me several times to make sure that I was doing well after the procedure was complete even the doctor. I thought that was great.
I have already recommended Sono Bello to several friends that have scheduled appointments.
Very happy with my results, before my final procedure I had already lose 6 inches on each thigh, so I figure as a result of the procedure when I have gone through my 6 month recovery period I should see at least another 4 inches on each.”

I was nervous at first but Stephanie explained everything and made me feel extremely comfortable with my choice. She took time to answer all of my questions. I choose dr.lionelli for my surgeon who has a stellar background as well as education.I ended up getting my upper and lower abdomen done along with my waist. Dr.lionelli explained the entire procedure and informed me of any risks, really loved his honesty and knowledge of the procedure. All of the staff were amazing. On my surgery day they did everything to make me comfortable and at ease. The procedure went great, hardly any pain. After they called when I was at home to check and see how I was doing. Every step you have to go through they send emails of what to expect on your journey. My healing is better every day. The only discomfort is when I have to use my abdomen muscles and that's not bad. Went back to work in four days. So far everything is beyond better than expected.”

“Horrific experience that has left me traumatized. I had botched surgery on several areas of my body. 2 revision surgeries were done and the areas are still there! One by Dr Dillon that still wasnt fixed and the next by the Cheif of Sonobello. I also have complete sensation loss to the bottom of my left calf. And apparently Dr. Dillon has done this to several patients and the other Drs in the office are fixing his botched work. He was "let go" from St Louis SonoBello. He should NOT have a license to do surgery! It scares me to think he is still a surgeon. The Chief Executive of SonoBello had to fly in on a day to meet me AND several people who had botched surgeries from Dr Dillon. I was scared and nervous and very upset about my leg and the other areas that were clearly and definitely messed up. When he met with me he was not sympathetic or never apologized for what I had been through. When I said, "Will Dr Dillon have repercussions for this?" He answered, "Repercissions like lose his license? I don't do that. He did a mediocre job." I thought really?? Mediocre??? So that's why you had to fly in to try to fix all these areas? In fact, a surgeon that worked in the same office refused to do my revision because he was so upset with the outcome that Dr Dillon did. He was afraid to furthermore make the areas worse. He quote said, "Its too much of a Liability." When I started crying in front of him and the office manager while they looked at my almost naked body, I said, "I am so upset right now and he said in a very stern voice, "You think I don't know that?!" That is a lot of why the Cheif had to fly in to do my surgery. He then said to me that I have gained weight and I said yes...he said "well I mean...we could always come back and say that you gained weight." I said, "The weight gain was AFTER the botched surgery. It has no relevance to his poor work." He never said a word...I left in tears....the Cheif rescheduled my surgery with no explanation from the staff. I was only notified a week prior after the fact that I had gotten days off from work and then lost those hours...the day of my surgery I was so scared I cried when I went in. My blood pressure was elevated because I was so overwhelmed. I felt like the only way to fix this is to do this surgery. I had the surgery last Dec. I've been called one time and that's it.... it will be a year in about 4 months....the areas are STILL botched. I was promised before all of this that I would receive free tightening and toning treatments...as if that was enough...then they never did them. I'm 27yrs old and I put over $20,000 into these surgeries. Only to have a messed up hip where too much fat was taken out and way smaller than the other, messed up calf that was smaller than the other one with an area that was dented in where too much fat was taken out. On my revision he had to do a fat transfer in one part of the leg because it was so bad. My upper and lower abdomen is uneven where too much fat was taken out then not enough so it looks rough. The public area is lumpy. I had my "banana rolls" or under my buttcheeks done and fat was missed on both sides. I have put so much money into this and I am still paying debt from botched surgery that has left me traumatized. I can't even get it paid off because the interest is charging me almost $200 after every payment through a loan company that they use. I'm so depressed and sick about it and yet scared about what to do. I need justice and I haven't received it. Being a nursing school student and having 2-3 jobs at a time is a lot. And then I had to go through this. Not to mention th surgeries were painful. Because you are AWAKE during them. I remember several times laying on the table saying "Ow, Ow, Ow" and in tears and asking for more numbing injections. Some of which were not given to me...I remember EVERYTHING. Please do not go to SonoBello for liposuction. I was mistreated by 3 different surgeons and the manager was hard to get ahold of. Every time I would call, they would say she was in a meeeting or busy and No call back. So sad.”

I gave birth to my daughter by c-section 19 years ago. I am very active but have always struggled so hard to lose any of the fat in my tummy area. After seeing the Sono Bello commercial a few times, I finally decided to set up a consultation, and I'm so that I did! It has only been a week since my procedure and I am already noticing the new shape my body is transforming into!

“My experience with Sonobello was very positive
My experience with Sonobello was very positive. The staff was very friendly and the nurse I had was really nice. The whole idea of being awake during the procedure was a bit weird, but after having done it I can totally see where it helps both the doctor & patient. The patient can let the doctor know if something doesn't feel right or hurts, and the doctor asks you to move around & sit up so that he can work on areas and get you the best results. Overall, everything went very well and I had little to no bruising. I would recommend it to anyone considering getting Liposuction.”

From the moment I walked into this office I have had the best experience. Starting off talking to Stephanie and getting me all set up when I thought I couldn't get this done but she made it happen. The doctor was simply amazing from the first initial appointment to the actual surgery. He walked me through everything in full detail on what to expect and talked me through the whole procedure. A day after my procedure the doctor called me personally to check on me. THAT WAS AWESOME! The nurses were super friendly and very helpful. I cannot say enough about how awesome this experience was for me. I would recommend anyone to this office. Thank you!”

“Wife and I paid $6000, for her to have waist, upper and lower abs. She is devastated by her unsatisfactory results. I didn't have the heart to tell her until a few days ago that they botched her liposuction and it virtually looks the exact same as before the liposuction. I'm angry with the staff and her results. Her self esteem is terrible and I wanted her to feel pretty again. They promised life changing results and it was not.
Do NOT waste a dollar on these scam artists.
The manager (Melinda) of the office insinuated that my wife was lying when she said the Dr said her stomach would be flat. I was in the room for every appointment except during the surgery.
I heard the Dr and a few other workers tell my wife and assure her that her stomach would be flat.
They refuse to do anything about this problem until her 6 month appointment. They told my wife we would revisit the conversation then. Their actions and handling of the situation is unacceptable.
Go to a different PLASTIC SURGEON'S office where you can get your money's worth.”

“The staff at SonoBello is fantastic and very caring.
I was very nervous, scared and terrified after reading a few other posts. I went in to see Dr. Shatz and he reassured me. The day I went in of course I was nervous. All the prep was done and went in for the procedure and was pleasantly surprised that I really didn't feel anything after the initial shots of deadening and that wasn't as bad as I thought. Next thing I new it was done and time to go home. This was done on Saturday and Monday my first shower and Tuesday much better. I do like what I saw on Monday. I was smaller and that was with the swelling. The staff at SonoBello is fantastic and very caring. Can't wait for the swelling to go down and see the improvement without the swelling. Some bruising, but not horrible. Took a vacation week to have this done and will be going back to work as planned.”

“My experience with SonoBello has been wonderful.
My experience with SonoBello has been wonderful, from start to finish! I am in the medical profession myself, so I know what to look for and what to expect. Everyone from the receptionist to the physician have been personable, yet professional. The environment was warm and welcoming. I was able to get a consultation almost immediately. Everyone made me feel comfortable...so comfortable, that I scheduled my procedure two days later. Dr. Scheu was friendly and very knowledgeable. He took ample time to explain the procedure in detail, what to expect in the immediate post op period, and realistic results. His examination of me was thorough. I appreciated the fact that he has been doing these procedures for 30+ years. I googled him before my procedure as well and read awesome reviews. This made me feel even more at ease with my decision to move forward. Dr. Scheu even called to check on me later that night. The surgical nurse was also very nice and compassionate. I was able to see some improvement/results the following day after I took off the bandages, despite the swelling and numbness. I have not had any post op complications i.e. bleeding, excessive drainage, bruising, etc. I was quite sore the first 2 days, but this has dissipated and is minimal now. The post op follow up has been great too with frequent emails and updates. I can not wait to see the final outcome in about 6 months when all the swelling has resolved. I would definitely recommend SonoBello. Great job guys!”

I still receive email updates every week to remind me to stay on track and what to anticipate. Stephanie was wonderful to work with, and every time I have an appointment, I'm greeted with the smiling face of Mandy and the entire staff. If you're considering a "body" update, do your research, and then join the team at Sono Bello, St. Louis!!”

“The staff in the St. Louis office is really great.
The staff in the St. Louis office is really great at making you feel comfortable. You don't feel like just another patient. After your first visit they all know your name and greet you by name when you walk in the door. The patient care and follow up check up and phone calls are beyond what I expected and or have received from any other doctor's office. I truly felt like all the staff was and is there for me.”

“I really loved my experience here
I really loved my experience here. Every single employee was kind, helpful, compassionate, and seemed genuinely excited for me. I went in pretty wary, but have been very impressed. As for my results, I'm only a couple weeks out, so I can't say yet, but I think once the swelling subsides I'm going to be very happy. It's a lot of money to spend on myself, but I already feel so much more confident.”

“I have curves already
Ok everyone, Sonobello advertisements are true. I did my research. I went online, looked at other companies, but decided to do the consultation with them. They answered my email request within 5 minuets of sending. My consult was real. Katey was not only my consultant, she was a able to look at the areas that I wanted done and give me real insight, cost and did I mention she was a financing guru. They have financing to meet everyone needs. After my consult within 2 weeks I was schedule to have my upper and lower waist and sides done. I have lost about 38 pounds within the last 6 months, but after 4 kids my stomach muscle are shot and the fat just was not moving. Ok guys don't be shy. At your pre-op they give you this really ugly 2 piece paper bra and panty set so the Doc can take a look at you and give you the 411 (information). Dr. Lionelle made me feel comfortable first and foremost. He listened to what I wanted and what I wanted to achieve. He then took a look at what he had to work with. He explained what he could do with every part of the areas that I wanted done and the end results. He educated, informed, but made me laugh at the same time. I knew with Dr. Lionelli I was in good hands. The day of surgery guys my nurse was so awesome. I dont like needles, but she made sure the process was quick and as painless as possible. My procedure was 3 hours long, but felt like one. I was able to pick my own music while the procedure was being done, but the the great part about the whole experience was that Dr. Lionelli and I talked all throughout my procedure. I was even joking. My friend that came along was in the waiting room and was like amazed and listening to our conversation and didnt know what was going on. Thats just how comfortable and at ease the Sonobello team makes your procedure. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op, and believe you this, my waist and stomach has already went down and I have curves already. Just imagine in 6 weeks. I cant wait to show you my before and after pictures. Ladies and Gents there is hope. Thank you Dr. Lionelli and the Sonobello team...YOU ROCK!!!”

“I highly recommend Sono Bello based on my experience
I will start by saying my experience as a whole was positive from beginning to end. The entire staff was approachable and keen to answer any and all questions. Upon entering the office you are immediately greeted and acknowledged, no waiting around as someone pretends not to see you or act like they are to busy for you. The office is neat,clean and refreshing. Though i didnt have to wait long,they do have a TV and reading material,most important more information on the procedures they offer. I personally wanted my procedure done ASAP. Wow. They went the extra effort to accommodate me! Next I met my doctor. Dr Lionelli is amazing. If i had any doubts his expertise and knowledge and soothing manner just solidified I made the right choice. The day of my procedure went exactly as planned. My RN Matthews is very outgoing and peppy. She loves her job and it shows. Dr. Lionelli talked to me during the entire procedure and was utmost concerned for my safety and well being. Everything is spelled out in your information packet you receive. Follow the directions and all shall be well. Everything I experienced I accepted as reasonable and customary, there were no surprises. Except for Dr. Lionelli following up with a phone call,wow, what doctor does that? I was very impressed he took the time to check on my progress. If you want the best experience, I highly recommend Sono Bello based on my experience and would definitely use them again. So, don't wait go and get a consultation today. You will only wonder why you waited so long.”

I was VERY VERY pleased with EVERYTHING!!!! The staff was EXCELLENT, the Dr. and the nurses were EXCEPTIONALLY WONDERFUL!!! I felt very comfortable with everything. I really LOVE my results and I am so happy that I went. I have gained my confidence back and I just love the "NEW" me!!! If I had to do it all over again, I would. Dr. Lionelli was so good with my concerns and goals. One thing I LOVED about him was he KEPT asking me "what is your goal?" I said "I wanna wear a bikini when I go to Miami this summer!!!" So he asked me again what was my goal?? I said happily and proudly that I wanted to wear a bikini this summer in Miami!!!! He said "I want you to wear a bikini in Miami and we're gonna get in that bikini this summer!!!!" From the looks of things I'm gonna be in my bikini!!!

“I feel wonderful.
I was amazed at how relatively painless the procedure was. I talked through the whole procedure and relate it basically to the pain level of a tattoo. My downtime was basically one day. I had it done on a Saturday. I called Monday morning because I wasn't draining. A nurse called me back within three minutes to tell me it was normal. I taught classes that night. The hardest part of this whole episode has been getting the compression garment snapped by myself! The doctor and staff were all highly professional. They were also very friendly and I felt like they got to know me and they treated all my questions with respect and gave me detailed and knowledgeable answers. I've recommended them to several of my friends and can't wait for my three month follow up. At my one week follow up, I was 12 pounds lighter and one pant size smaller and thrilled. It's given me that bump I needed to start eating healthier and exercising. Before I was so depressed and embarrassed about my weight and my shape - I feel wonderful, now! I just keep looking at myself in the mirror and smiling!”

Yes of course! The staff of sono Bello are so friendly and they love their job. No matter what I called for or what questions I had they were there to answer! Dr lionelli I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart, I look in the Mirror even with this swelling I'm going through and say wow!! He did this and I smile, I'm soooo happy I feel like a new person. People would tell me your fine leave yourself alone, but people will never understand that you are your biggest critic.

I am ten days post op from my procedure at Sonobello. And I'd recommend the experience to anyone battling with stubborn fat. Dr. Shatz was gentle and had an easy, quiet, bedside manner. The nursing staff was also professional and very helpful. The procedure itself was strange because it was unknown but the slight discomfort was managable. They took great care of me, and were very helpful. Post op I am slightly tender and sore, but it too is managable and each day i see and feel improvement. I could see results even through the swelling. Looking forward to the finished results. Very trustworthy and top notch business practice. If your hesitating, stop! It's so worth it!”

What are you waiting for? You're not getting any younger! This procedure is for anyone with problem areas that bother them and not just for the obese. I am an avid runner and far from over weight, but after turning 40 I had some areas of fat building up (those typical areas that plague women my age). After two procedures in different areas, my clothes fit great and my running has improved. Well worth it!”

“The Experience was horrible I have never in all my years have had so many unprofessional people and doctors in my life!...first of all they over charged me then swiped my credit card before I actually got the surgery done, then the manager Michelle winters called me the night before my surgery and said the doctor cancelled and wasn't going to refund my credit card due to there Doctor not wanting to do my surgery...I asked why was that she was very adamant about not refunding me the money so I got an attorney due to me being out of 4,0000 dollars and no one had the patience to answer any of my questions... I went to lifestyle wellness center in Clayton and they were more responsible prices and the staff was wonderful and so was the Doctor...DO NOT GO to Sono Bella.”

“I can’t say enough about the friendliness of the team, the professionalism they provided to me and the actual procedure completed by Dr. Schatz. I appreciate and value them so much. What I like more than anything is the ongoing emails I receive on “what to expect” at different intervals. I had the procedure on Friday and was unpacking boxes in our new home on Tuesday. There was really no pain, just tenderness.
Preparation is the key to reducing anxiety – Dr. Schatz and his team prepared me for the unknown and my results are more than I expected. I can’t thank them enough for assisting me in feeling good about myself again – feeling like my appearance is no longer frumpy and chunky. I now feel confident and positive about myself with my new reduced Curves that are in the right places. Thank you Dr. Schatz – you and your team at Sono Bello are truly a gift to all of us who do work hard and eat right but still struggle. In my eyes I am now a “10” and that’s what matters.”
