Sono Bello Portland — Attraction in Portland

I have started menopause and cannot for the life of me lose any of this stubborn fat around my mid-section, ick. Discouraged and feeling there was nothing I could do about it I found myself giving up and that was when I was told by two family members of Solo Bello and their great results from their liposuction. Armed with suspension I stepped out and made the call.

I met with Shab who is the Patient Care Consultant. She was upbeat, energetic, professional, confidant and beautiful in appearance apparel, and attitude. This location was attractive, inviting and not the sterile, cold and medical environment I was expecting. We then discussed what could their staff do for me and how may they help me achieve my goals for a more confident and desirable self-image. We discussed the areas that I have never been happy with on my body. We continued until every concern over pricing, the desired contouring, each type of payment plans, which doctor would perform my surgery and his credentials were completely answered. When we completed our time together I left with an information packet holding all the agreed upon procedures, payment receipt and the pre surgery suggested medications.

The day of the surgery I was given a really well information form to sign which addressed, Pre, day and post procedure expectation. And lastly take pictures of my physic for the, oh-joy, ‘before’ image and in the near future be a much better ‘after’ shot.

Dr. Edmond A. Zingaro would be my physician so if you are not sure who to ask for most defiantly request him. He then took a marker and started address the areas of my figure and listened (yet again) me rattle on about my desired look. I could see through into the operating room and it looked just like a hospital would, clean, sterile, professional. I was given antibiotics and a mild relaxer for my nerves and a pain killer for the procedure along with an IV which I assumed was standard however it was not needed. Vera the nurse had a calming demur however she knew exactly what to do and proceeded throughout the room readying everything.

TriSculpt is the form of lazar used I believe and from all the testimonies it seems to be the best equipment with the least amount of pain with a bonus of a quicker recovery. He used a Local Awake Anesthesia and began conversing with me in light humorous banter. He then made all the necessary incisions for the first of the two series surgery, one to put in a solution to loosen the fat cells and then second to remove them (yippee). He asked me on more than one occasion how I was feeling and had an excellent bed side manner. I can’t recall the length of time I was in the operating room but could guess perhaps an hour and half. His only rule was “If you feel any discomfort you need to tell me.” There was a moment I squirmed from a twinge of pain and he immediately stopped and addressed the area with Lidicane (?). Between his easy manner, Vera’s readiness for everything he needed by constantly moving and replacing items was very comforting excellent doctor from start to finish.

Day 1 and 2, I did do a few things out of bed like written this, making meals, changed the sheets, showered – yes showering the very next day was wonderful.

If I could, I would schedule my inner and outer thunder thighs and upper arms with Dr. Zingaro then jump on any talk show and praise the impossible; ‘the exit that was my chub’ by Sono Bello.

I would highly recommend my family, friends, neighbors even the mailman to go to SonoBello for a procedure.

Don’t wait any longer and contact Shab at Sono Bello, ask for Dr. Zingaro and then sit back in a bathing suit with confidence. So amazing is my confidence now.

Thank you, Thank you, and...

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...

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...
