Comparing Sono Bello’s AbEX With a Traditional Tummy Tuck

Sono Bello’s Body Contouring

Traditional Tummy Tuck

Optimal Outcome

Combine advanced fat removal with skin removal to deliver smoother, natural-looking results tailored to your needs.

Tightens skin and muscles but requires invasive surgical techniques.

Immediate results

Provides visible improvements immediately, giving patients newfound confidence from day one.

Results are often delayed due to swelling and a longer recovery process. Final outcomes may not be fully visible for several months.

Minimal pain

Uses localized anesthesia for a 100% awake, minimally invasive procedure with less discomfort.

Often involves general anesthesia, leading to increased recovery time and potential side effects. Patients often experience moderate to severe pain post-surgery.

Minimal downtime

Patients can resume daily activities in just a few days thanks to advanced techniques.

Recovery often requires extended downtime with movement restrictions that last weeks

Minimal risk factors

Localized anesthesia minimizes risks, making it a safer choice for more patients.

General anesthesia carries higher risks, especially for patients with pre-existing health conditions. The invasive nature of traditional methods increases the likelihood of complications.

“I am 100% pleased with my Abex procedure at Sono Bello Memphis. From my consultation with Lindsey through my surgery with Dr. Villarreal (which was yesterday) and the wonderful nurses that helped with everything in-between. They were all extremely knowledgeable and walked me through every step of the process even when I wasn’t asking my own questions 😃 This procedure was 16 years in the making after a C-section with twins and I have no regrets. I appreciate them all so much, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity with Sono Bello ❤️”

I had laser lipo on upper and lower abs (front and back), bra roll lipo, and AbEx (removal of the abdomen excessive skin). One week post op and it already looks better than I could have ever hoped! If it looks this great already, I can’t wait to see once I’m fully healed.

I absolutely recommend this office! Merry Christmas to me!!! ”
