Sono Bello Portland Reviews

“You guys are so friendly and up beat, it makes the whole experience worth it”

Tracy on BirdeyeFebruary 01, 2023

“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.”

I had a bit of a rocky start with a schedule snafu and Kortnie was fantastic about working it out with me and getting us going on the treatments. I've just finished the second of 8, and I'm so happy with the facility, the staff and the professionalism and expertise of the providers.

Pamela on BirdeyeNovember 30, 2022

“The staff here is so friendly and welcoming. I always feel valued and loved here at Sono Bello. Before my surgery, they made sure they answered any questions I may have had, and continuously gave me the opportunity to ask more. They made me so comfortable during my procedure that I fell asleep, and when it was time to go they had already called my ride for me. Such great customer service! 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.. I look like an entirely different person! And Alayah answered all the questions I had knowledgeably. Overall I really enjoy my experience every time I go in, and I'm very appreciative of the staff here for making my experience so easy and pleasant.”

“I had my double chin eliminated with the lipo sculpting from Dr. Bensimon. I wish I would have done this years ago. I look so much younger and finally have a defined jaw line. This has been a problematic area for me my entire life. My consultant Shaab told me how amazing Dr. Bensimon was and the work she had done but honestly I can’t believe how great my results are. I could not be happier. I love Dr. Bensimon and would recommend him.”

Sara on BirdeyeNovember 21, 2022

“The staff here are amazing. I’d like to send a shout out to front reception. They were beyond accommodating when I was waiting. They even brought me snacks and water and got info to put my heart at ease while my partner was in procedure. Even in the busiest of moments they made it a priority and they were so incredibly kind through it all. They really go above and beyond here.”

Marie on BirdeyeNovember 10, 2022

Pamela on BirdeyeOctober 04, 2022

“Kortnie is caring, easy to talk to and super knowledgeable in her craft! Her calm and pleasant demeanor immediately put me at ease and swept away any nervousness I was feeling about treatment. She explained the Venus treatment to me, reviewed typical results and benefits, and what I could expect in regards to sensations during the treatments before we started the actual Venus treatment. It was so welcoming to have such a through explanation/walk through prior to getting started. If at anytime during the treatment the sensations became a little too much for me, Kortnie adjusted the settings to assure my comfort, yet still being in the effective range. I highly recommend Kortnie for your Venus treatment needs! ”

Kristen on BirdeyeSeptember 30, 2022

“Dr Urbinelli was very informative during my pre-op visit. My nurse was very nice and funny and just down to earth! I look forward to my procedure next week!”

Yolanda on BirdeyeSeptember 29, 2022

“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. 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+++”

Jay on BirdeyeSeptember 29, 2022

“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.”

Melissa on GoogleSeptember 21, 2022

“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!”

“All of the staff are so friendly and sweet, and I felt so comfortable every step of the way. I fell asleep during the procedure, and it's only a local anesthetic! They even offered me a free Venus treatment to prevent swelling and bruising, which I find very accommodating and generous. I will recommend this office to anyone I know who wants the procedure done! What a pleasure!”

Maria on BirdeyeSeptember 09, 2022

“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”

Julie Ann on GoogleAugust 30, 2022

“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 consultant was amazing, the nurse, the Doctor all great people. They took the time to answer my questions and even go over everything a second time so I fully understood what would happen. I very much would recommend them for your treatment.”

Dan on BirdeyeJuly 16, 2022

“When I chose Sonobello for my procedure, it came from recommendations from two of my friends and also the promotional ad that was being offered. 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 don’t even know where to start. I guess the best way to start it by thanking Sono Bello, Dr. Bensimon , my nurse Bethany and Shab. I have struggled with my double chin my entire life. 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 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 !!”

Bri on BirdeyeMay 26, 2022

“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.”

“Wow! What a place. Absolutely blown away. The FREE consultation was absolutely FULL of information that was SO HELPFUL! The consult person was so informative and able to help me make the best informed decision for myself. She didn't make me feel pressured and was incredibly kind and full of knowledge. One of the actual Doctors actually came in and met with me real fast and gave his knowledge on what would best be fit for me, even though unfortunately Sono Bella couldn't help me with what I needed. The Doctor also has his own practice, who could. So relaxing, calm, clean and kind environment. It was a much busier office than expected. At least take advantage of the FREE CONSULTATION. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Sono Bella.”

Lena on BirdeyeMarch 12, 2022

“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.”

Linda on BirdeyeFebruary 28, 2022

“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!”

“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.”

Going into any medical appointment is usually all business but even though we were talking business we managed to have a few laughs as if we known each other. I would recommend anyone to go see her. Lastly, at the end of my consult I and to finish up with the front desk ladies and I must say both of them were a riot . At the end of the day SonoBello Portland is the place to be and can wait till my my surgery appointment on November 12th woohoo thank you Yvette for being so awesome”

Elaine on BirdeyeOctober 19, 2021

“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.”

“I have a few procedures done about 5 years ago with sonobello and I was so happy with my results. I decided to back to get my thighs done this time because I’ve been so happy with my belly. I was so happy to get to work with Shab again. I think it’s says a lot about this company to have such long term employees and amazing employees. I not only got to work with Shab about but I was also able to schedule my procedure with Dr. Malin again! He was my original surgeon and I absolutely adore him . His bedside manner is superb , he’s so friendly and I can tell how much everyone respects him. Thank you again sonobello I look forward to singing your praises once again after my next procedure.”

“I’m not sure where to start, everything , every encounter has been so pleasant. Dr. Sobel did my procedure last month and I am so incredibly happy. There is so much more I could say about how this procedure has changed my life. I recommend going in to discuss your goals and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. The cost was more then I expected but the results have blown my mind. Well worth every penny!!!!!”

My results are way better than I could have ever expected. This whole process has given me a new lease on life. I feel beautiful and confident. I highly recommend Sono Bello.”

Suzanne on GoogleSeptember 17, 2021

“Plastic surgery is a very personal and private decision. Anyone making that decision most likely has a major insecurity. From appt one I felt fat shamed by the doctor and the staff. I was more confident going in than when I left. I had complications that include necrosis and almost one year later I am left deformed, lumpy, misshapen, and still in pain. I could go back for the revision they promised but I am not comfortable with the way they treated me and the poor quality of work. I took out a very large loan for this procedure and will have to take a large loan to get it fixed. I do not recommend.”

“After years of planning and saving, research and patience, I chose Sono Bello and made the appointment for my consultation. My husband and I took the time off work and arrived 30 minutes early. 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.”

Lindsay on BirdeyeJune 26, 2021

“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.”

J. on GoogleJune 25, 2021

“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 :)”

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.”

“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.”

I was quite anxious about the procedure, even having a panic attack the morning of the surgery. Both Dr. Aghayan and especially Tisha were so compassionate, taking the time to ensure I was ok. Tisha told me at the beginning her primary role was to ensure my comfort, hold my hand through the painful parts of the surgery. She was exceptional and I sincerely thank her for her kindness.”

“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. Honestly the only thing different the 2nd time around is there was more pain during surgery in the areas I was getting touched up. Even with that being said I would still recommend this anyone!!!”

The nurse I had at my 1 week appointment really made me feel so much better. My body was just starting to heal after the first week. I was starting to second guess my choices. She let me know my healing was perfect, and that things will continue to improve. I left there feeling so much better, and happy for my procedure.

“I am happy with my results from Sono Bello. I was surprised to find out how quickly they could schedule my procedure. I think the level of care, follow-up protocol and cleanliness of the facility are 3 things I would say stand out. I am 3 months post-op and just had my post-op visit, and I was SO pleased with the results thus far. I would have to say I do exercise and eat a healthy diet, so I think this would be crucial for anyone to see results this quickly. I still have swelling, but I am thrilled to see the before/after photos we went over today.”

“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!”

But it was quite the opposite. Staff was up front, honest about what to expect in results, and very accommodating of my need to keep my data secure, private, and allow me to keep all my forms and paperwork until I reach my decision.
I was very impressed and will be giving it considerable amount of thought in making my decision.
I am also impressed by how available they are in making my timeline goals a reality. A++

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.

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.

“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!!

The nurses make sure you're comfortable and Dr. Sobel makes you feel like you're getting ready to go in for a party of fat sucking fun. I did my upper/lower abs, hips and waist. 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).

“From start to finish, my overall Sono Bello experience has been great so far. Shab took great care of me during my consultation and offered great advice and reassurance. The nurses make sure you're comfortable and Dr. Sobel makes you feel like you're getting ready to go in for a party of fat sucking fun. I did my upper/lower abs, hips and waist. 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! They're def Ice approved :)”

“This place is horrible!!! I was so excited for this appointment and was ready to purchase a package. I arrived early to my appointment. The sales lady came out late and called my name. 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!!!!”

“Not my first experience with Sonobello. Definitely worth every penny. But you really must be ready to make healthy choices after a procedure. Also plan to wear your garment or binder for 4-8 weeks. The longer, the better your results are. I personally returned to work 2-3 days afterwards, with little medication needed to control pain. But my pain tolerance is high. Highly recommend for those areas that will not go away!!”

He called me at home the day after my procedure to check in with me to see how I was doing. That right there speaks volumes. You never hear of Dr's doing that much these days. I can't wait to have my next procedure which is the tummy tuck! Thank you all so much. I've had a wonderful experience.

She explained what the procedure would entail and was very forthcoming on the cost. On the day of the procedure it went as planned. No surprises, no pushed to get extras. Later that day they called to follow up on how I was doing. Do your research before any procedure. I do recommend Sono Bello.”

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.
Thank you all!!”

“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.”

It’s been three months and I feel and look great. I don’t believe I could have achieved theses results on my own. Thank you to Shab and the rest of the Sonobello team. You guys rock!”

“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.”

Shaylyn on BirdeyeMarch 06, 2019

“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”

Karen on GoogleMarch 06, 2019

“My overall experience was amazing all of the staff were very friendly, I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed from the first appointment through surgery. My one suggestion would be to update the handout material given out explaining pre/post surgery. After reading the material I had several questions to confirm what I needed to do to be prepared. 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.
Thanks, Michelle”

Ruby on BirdeyeFebruary 19, 2019

“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.”

C on BirdeyeFebruary 18, 2019

“As a 52 ye old with chronic pain I was not sure how this was going to work. I definitely feel it may have been better to be knocked out or a little more sedated but Dr. Jabby aka Lewis was very reassuring and the staff through the whole process.

“I requested information from 3 different Pastic Surgeons when I decided it was time to get quotes. Sono Bello was the quickest to return my call and get me in for a consultation. They were very attentive during the consultation and made me feel at ease about the procedure and cost. I went to the other consultations and came back to Sono Bello. I really felt like they had my best interest at heart and didn't try to oversell me on procedures I didn't actually need or want. Surgery day was professional, Dr. Lewis made me feel confident and excited for the outcome post op! 1 week post op I am already seeing results and over the moon for what 3 months post op will look like. The TriSculpt E/X was exactly what I thought it would be.”

I was successfully in losing over 40 pounds from April 2018 to November 2018, and I am utilizing what I learned from my experience to change my eating habits and control my portions. I am so excited to continue to watch the number on the scale fall (even through the holidays!) I couldn't be happier!”

Brooke on GoogleJanuary 02, 2019

“I went to them a few times. It is important to do your research on the doctor. They are just a facility that allow doctors from the areas to do their medical procedures at their clinic. I wasn't happy with my first doctor but my second doctor was great. This isn't a perfect science and if you have body dysmorphia then you might want to really think about how you will or won't feel after the procedure. A lot of people rush to think their bodies will turn slender immediately but it takes time for the swelling to go down and healing to happen. They are staffed with the appropriate medical people that will help with realized problems. I had a seroma from the body garment not fitting properly but they were able to drain it and it healed just fine. I am thinking about going back for my chin. Also, it is advantageous to go back to the same facility because you don't have to pay the surgical facility fee anymore. As far as the other reviews I see on here... the sales team is exceptional. No one is pointing a gun at your head as far as what package(s) you choose. They have personal experience as patients and know what they are talking about. They bring the doctor in if necessary. You will have a consultation with the doctor too. I hope this helps!”

He made you very self conscious and blamed you for bad results saying you need to excercise more and if you are not pleased with results you had unrealistic expectations after there the ones that gave you those expectations.

“I am a 51-year-old man in Portland, Oregon. Since my early 20s, my buddy took on a pear shape in my midsection. I’ve developed a belly and love handles, complete with what people call birthing hips.
I have always been height/weight proportionate, but for some inexplicable reason I had unwanted midsection wait and was unhappy with my appearance. I tried everything from diet and exercise to starving myself at times to try to get rid of this problem, and nothing worked. I just ended up looking like a very skinny person who was shaped like a pear.
For my 50th birthday, I rewarded myself with a trip to sono Bello. My consultation was very pleasant, and everyone in the office was very kind, understanding, and helpful. I decided to have the procedure done on my upper mid section, my belly, and my love handles.
I was astonished at the results! I mean, seriously astonished! I knew that they would improve me because I had spoken with so many people and done so much research on the company.
All I can tell you now is that I went shirtless for the first time since 1994, and with confidence!
It has now been over a year, and I still look fantastic. I cannot recommend sono Bello any higher than I do. My favorite staff member there is Candace, and the doctor who performed my procedure was Dr. Malin. What an amazing job he did! Trust your instincts on this one people, and to make yourself feel beautiful and happy. I most certainly do! Thank you, sono Bello, and all of your staff. I am a man who is beyond satisfied.

Doctor and medical personnel were very respectful and gave privacy and assistance with pictures and changing clothes etc. I am 100% please after my procedure with just being 12 days post op. I receive emails and feel like I have been cared for and given opportunities to call and or receive any questions or concerns I may have. My procedure was fairly easy for me with me needing very little pain med, and was back to a normal routine in 2 days time. I have already highly recommend Sono Bello to my friends and family. And will consider other procedures in the future.”

Nancy on Yellow PagesNovember 07, 2018

“What a tentative skeptic I was. Wanted to keep a positive, open mind so I listened, looked at photos, did my research, and asked a TON of questions. My scenario: 2 C-section births (23+ years ago) and a serious skin/fat "dunlap" from a recent weight loss. Having been at this new low weight before, I knew no amount of exercise would get rid of my l'il friend, Dunlap. And WOW!!!! I'm 5 weeks post-op and HUGELY delighted!!! Yes, there was bruising. Yes, there was swelling. All expected and normal. But Holy Smokes!!! Fantastic result!!! Couldn't be more pleased and it gets better daily as the healing continues. I had the Tri-Sculpt E/X, highly effective procedure.
Do your own research. Listen. Look at the photos. I've taken my own progressive photos and this is AMAZING! Thanks to the AWESOME team at Sonobello, Happy Camper over here!!!

KP on RealselfNovember 05, 2018

“I had read a number of Yelp reviews and hesitated to book a consultation at Sono Bello because of some poorly rated ones. Yet, Sono Bello had a special whereby you could have one liposuction treatment area done for free when you paid for 3 other areas, so I decided to see for myself. I was completely "sold" after my consultation with Nicole Bradshaw, the practice leader. I didn't experience her as a salesperson however, I experienced her as someone who sincerely cared, and offered a solution to a problem, so to speak. I eat modestly, have no processed foods of any kind in my diet, work closely with a nutritionist and exercise most days of the a week. Yet, I had some areas of extra fat that I clearly could not have reduced or removed with diet and exercise alone; one of which was there since I was a child. I trusted Nicole intuitively and sensed that she would oversee my experience to ensure it was a positive one. My intuition has served me very well. Nicole has really extended herself to me and has spent a fair amount of time on the phone and in person at the clinic every step of the way. I am just shy of the 3 week mark post op and the recovery was easier than I feared. I wouldn't characterize it as easy, but definitely do-able. I didn't take any narcotics after the procedure, and after the first week, I started to feel much more comfortable. Since I am considerably less inflamed and swollen at this point, I can already see some results, and am quite pleased overall. There may be some areas that Dr. Malin "touches up" complimentary with an additional treatment in 6 months, which is one of the reasons I chose Sono Bello. They will ensure that the final results are as anticipated and hoped for, within reason, of course. I had feedback to offer Nicole about what I think could have improved my experience in a couple of ways and she was very receptive.
I think every staff member sincerely cares, and I have felt well supported. I know that they've celebrated in my results so far as well. I am very excited to see where I will be at the 3 month mark post op and may add to my review at that point. I only wish I had done this sooner. I had considered it for years! My inclination was to keep this experience private, and not to write a public review, however I really wanted others who may hesitate due to some of the poor reviews, to read mine. I definitely would recommend that anyone who has an interest schedule a consultation and see for themselves before they are scared off by some of the 1 star reviews.
Update - I also wanted to add, please keep in mind that poor reviews don't necessarily reveal the whole story, and Sono Bello can't offer a "rebuttal" or share their perspective because of their commitment to patient privacy. Also, there are a number of hidden reviews here on Yelp that helped me decide to have a consultation.
Update - I wanted to write an update on my first review since I've now not only had liposuction twice, but experienced the Venus treatments and have had a Sono Bello Lift as well. I have transformed in ways that has left me so much more comfortable and confident in my own skin, and I am so deeply appreciative to all the staff and physicians at Sono Bello. As a repeat customer many times over now, I continue to be extremely pleased with my overall experience. There have been a few concerns that have come up for me, but Candace Loyd who now overseas the clinic has ensured that they were all addressed in a way I am satisfied with. In addition, she has taken the time to support my recovery every step of the way. I have really appreciated her sincere care about my experience, and her desire for me to have a positive one. I think both Dr. Malin who performed my liposuction and Dr. Campanelli who performed my Lift are very skilled, kind and supportive and I appreciate the care I've received from each of them. Ellisha Leal who administers the Venus treatments advocated for me to have it done on my stomach, as well as neck and arms, post liposuction, and I am so happy I added my stomach to the line up. We've seen very clear results, as my skin is much more toned and firm than the liposuction alone resulted in. I recommend her as a skilled and supportive practitioner as well. The staff at Sono Bello of Portland have really extended themselves to me in so many ways and I continue to recommend the clinic wholeheartedly. I really look forward to my visits as I truly love to connect with the very warm and friendly staff.
The treatment options below didn't allow me to chose all of them: Liposuction, Liposuction Revision and Face Lift!”

The staff at the Portland location is fabulous. From the front desk to the nurses. Wonderful people working there. No judgements, all the questions answered. I'm only 2 weeks out but I love what I see so far...”

It takes an artist and a sculptor to do a great job and he came through with flying colors. He was cheerful, helpful and answered all my questions. I have a beautiful result from having my upper and lower abdomen and also waistline contoured, as well as my jawline that surpassed my expectation!! I feel better and healthier with my decision and the procedure was much easier than my imaginings beforehand. Thank you!!”

My patient care coordinator was transparent, easy to communicate with, and walked me through everything I could expect. Dr. Malin was likely the best health care professional I had the pleasure of working with. He has amazing communication skills, intuitive to my comfort or discomfort levels, and skilled handiwork. I am so thrilled with my results, and I know I haven't seen my final results yet!”

Definitely a great group of folks who know what they are doing.”

Sherrie on GoogleAugust 03, 2018

“Went in for a consultation to see if I could afford it. (I couldn’t really) but got looked at by what appeared to be a head receptionist and not a Dr. She said it would be easy to remove my “kind of fat.” I needed time to think but she was a bit annoyed by that and couldn’t guarantee the price wouldn’t go up. I should have left, but I was feeling very vulnerable after having this beautiful woman investigating my fat. So I did it. It’s not at all like the commercials. They barely took anything out, didn’t do the upper area like we had discussed. You wear a compression garment for a couple weeks, so you don’t see it the next day like they say. Now after a few years, it’s back, lumpy and I won’t wear a 2-piece because of it. They offer a “touch up” but that would have been another $3k. No thanks, given how it looked the first time. Just work out so your fat won’t look weird. I took the lazy way out from being depressed about my boxy figure.”

mkcasillas on RealselfJuly 29, 2018

“I paid over $9000 and I feel that my body is worse than it was before. One of the areas I paid to have done was my lower abdomen but now it appears puffier than before. I inquired about it but they dismissed me. I am so disappointed in how that area of my body turned out and that they just dismissed the problem. I paid so much money and I'm more self conscious now than I was before. Some areas are better but with the way my lower abdomen is, I can't wear certain clothes or it looks horrible. If I could I would go back and not spend all the money and I would keep my body the way it use to be. Now it's just weird. I'm so disappointed.”

Shawna S on GoogleJuly 22, 2018

“I had the Venus legacy done on my chin it cost about $1,500.00 and it did NOT work at all!!!! Shaab I am sorry to put you on blast but you are a damn liar! She said that it would work and take away all the fat on my chin and it did NOT, NOT even a little bit. I have before and after pictures and I think I look worse after!! It has been about a year now since I had the treatment done, and I want my money back! Do not trust them they will lie to you just to get your money. Knowing their treatment did not work for me they should’ve given me my money back, but nope not one penny.”

Ashley on FacebookMay 29, 2018

“The staff was friendly enough and the doctor was nice; however, I wouldn’t recommend this program to anyone else. Our initial consultation was with a salesperson, not a medical professional. She really emphasized the deals they were offering and talked me into getting more than I really wanted because the price was right. We had to pay all of our fee before seeing the doctor and the paperwork indicated the refund was less than 100% if you changed your mind. I ended up having five areas worked on, the difference in one (that I wanted when I went in) is not too bad. The second area I wanted turned out about how the doctor described but well below what was sold in the consultation. The other three areas I had done based on the promotion at the time have a negligible difference. I mentioned this at each follow-up and they said it would take a full year. I’m over a year out now and still feel like they overcharged, oversold and underdelivered. Results aside, the care was there. It’s kind of a scary process having work like this done and they did all they could to mitigate that and make sure I was comfortable the whole time. I appreciated the doctor nurses during and immediately following the procedure. Had I known then what I know now, though, I would have gone somewhere else.”

“I had liposuction in June. Having this procedure has allowed my body to speed up the metabolism. The nurses, consultants and surgeons are very helpful. In my opinion the cost is high. I’m glad I had it done. Sonobello is great to work with.”

“I thought I was too old to make the changes I wanted in my body, but…. at 63 I can tell everyone that it is never too late to take steps to improve your body, which of course, improves your mind! The procedure was a breeze! The physician and staff were awesome. They took the time to manage my expectations from start to finish. The doctor was right on when he said it takes a full year to see the desired outcome, and at first I was impatient. At 90 days, still a bit concerned that I wasn’t getting the results I wanted, I was told to be patient, that I was still early in the healing process. At 6 months I REALLY began to see the difference. I have a waistline again! The costs are reasonable, and the entire experience resulted in peace of mind. I would recommend Sonobello to anyone even remotely thinking along the lines of body contouring. The consultation is free, and the experience in whole, is rewarding.”

“My experience at SonoBello was first class. They were friendly nice and efficient. I have always had issues with my love handles and they have helped rid me of those pesky areas. They pinpointed the exact locations I wanted to be removed and executed flawlessly. The staff is very nice and courteous to everything you can need to make your appointment efficient and comfortable. They explained the entire process thoroughly and made me aware of what to expect, so nothing was a surprise and I was back to work in a couple of days. My recovering has been phenomenal and my results couldn’t be better. This was a great decision because I feel better than ever and am ready for anything that comes my way. Its amazing how you feel when you go to the gym and are working on yourself instead trying to fix things you may not like. Its an extreme confidence booster and makes you feel good. I would recommend the process to anyone who was considering it for themselves.”

“Well, I had the stomach surgery and at first I was not totally pleased. I went back within the year as I was told to do and they fixed it at no additional cost. I can only say… They took a low self esteem to an extremely high one… They will get all of my business… In fact I go back tomorrow. YIPEE!!!”

“I went in for my procedure at the end of June and 7 months later I am very happy with my results. The staff are very professional and are super friendly. I was so nervous before getting my laser libo done that I was shaking. Th
