The BEST decision I ever made

Sono Bello
1 of 2
Charlotte NC location Dr. Crawford and the entire staff are wonderful! NOT ONE COMPLAINT. I will let my 2 week post pics say the rest! Keep in mind I’m still swollen and not even at my final result!!

Love my new young neck!!

Sono Bello
March 20; Dr Strand and his whole staff made me feel comfortable and got this done for me fast; did not have to be put under. Of course the first two days are hard, still healing now but I’m so happy!! Recovery was pretty fast, no one knows why I look so good....

Excellent Overall

Sono Bello
Had a great experience in the Westchester, NY location. You do meet with a consultant first which did through me off at first, but Tova was very thorough in her explanations and answered all my questions. Did not feel like a sales pitch. Dr. Otake addressed all my additional questions prior to surgery. I called after leaving and asked about some reviews I saw online and even the secretaries were able to make me feel better. My results are great and I had little to no pain the first 4 days after my surgery. I would say that as long as you have realistic expectations and are healthy with the understanding of diet or exercise afterwards, your results are worth it and the experience and those who provide it are very accommodating.

I did not receive a regund

Updated by user May 20, 2026

The home office finally called and said they would refund my money. I have not received it yet.

Original review Apr 15, 2026
I went for my preop in Oklahoma City. The surgeon told me that the procedure would not work.

She said I had to talk to my rep in Tulsa that sold me my plan to change anything. I began calling her and stayed until late at night to wait for her to call me back. I called her 5 times. I had to cancel because my surgery was the next day.

She finally returned my call at the time zi should have been in surgery. When I left Hannah in OKC said she would refund my money. She told me later that the only way I would see a dime of that money I had to have the procedure.

I said the one that wont work? She said YES.

The lie to you and take your money

AI Highlights
  • - Sales rep overpromised abx procedure and liposuction.
  • - Deposit paid per that consultation.
  • - Refund not issued; two hernias verified by plastic surgeons.
Updated by user Feb 14, 2026

Don't put a deposit down until you speak to a surgeon

Original review Jan 29, 2026
I was given a consultation by a surgical sales rep. Not an expert surgeon.

They over promised the success of my abx procedure as well as some minor lipo on my arms and knee area. I put my deposit down based on that consultation at the pre-op appointment. The surgeon gave me a very different story on how the procedure would go. As far as this, incision size on that parts of the knee originally discussed.

And would not be done or that all the services could confidently be done in one procedure. They have yet to refund my deposit saying that I am a candidate for the procedure, although it's not what we agreed to and I have a two hernias verified by plastic surgeon at my pre-op and verified another plastic surgeon one week after my pre-op appointment.
Loss:
$2495

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Run. I've heard horror stories from other plastic surgeons about sonobella people screaming during procedures cuz you're not all the way under horrible side effects infection because there's no drainage during the abx

False advertisement

AI Highlights
  • - Radio promo said 50% off any area you choose.
  • - Staff says 50% off any area with an additional area, different from the country station promo.

I called asking about the promotion on the radio saying 50% off any area you choose but now shes saying its 50% off any area when you choose an additional area. This was not the promotion that I heard on the country station.

Preferred solution: The advertised price deal

Don’t use this company.

Original review Nov 05, 2025

After meeting with the surgeon 24 hours ago, we did a deep dive into reviews and experiences specifically with him. Ultimately we dont feel comfortable with the answer of the results are unknown even to me until after we get in there

Also, we looked at unpaid/ unbiased reviews for sonobello the company and many people have given poor experiences and ratings. Additionally, BBB scores it a 1.62.

We would like a full refund.

Preferred solution:

Full refund

Deceptive practices

AI Highlights
  • - Consultation promised procedures and a $1,000 deposit; surgery not booked.
  • - BMI of 44 prevents the requested procedures; refund dispute ongoing.
Sono Bello - Deceptive practices

If anyone is thinking of getting services with this Company, Please think twice!! I went to them after having lost 100+ pounds. Here is my story:

On 10/7/25, I visited the office for a consultation with Lonnie. I inquired about procedures for my stomach and thighs and was informed they could be performed. I was quoted a price and required to pay a $1,000 deposit before leaving. The remaining balance of $19,980.50 was paid during a subsequent visit with Dr. Bose, when a surgical consultation was scheduled.

A week later, I met with pre-op nurse Shanda for further measurements. Dr. Bose then advised that he could not perform the upper thigh procedure as requested, and that my BMI was too high for the stomach and skin removal procedures. He stated these could not be done until I reached the companys required BMI.

During the appointment with Dr. Bose and while still at the office, I requested to speak with a manager several times but was denied. I found out later that one of the employees I spoke to requesting a manager was in fact an assistant manager, but he never identified himself as an assistant manager nor offered to help me.

I felt that I was lied to by Lonnie in the initial visit and that the procedures that I requested and was told could be done, cannot, and I do not owe them any money for something that there is no way to determine if or when I will lose the extra weight as required by the doctor. As the procedures cannot be performed as I requested, I am requesting a full refund. No further appointments were scheduled, and the surgery was not booked. I have received inconsistent information regarding the refund process, including approval requirements and the amount to be refunded. Despite not receiving the procedures, the office has indicated they intend to retain part of my payment due to the consultation.

Attempts to contact the corporate office have been unsuccessful. Additionally, the companys website states procedures are not performed on individuals above a certain BMI, which I discovered after these issues arose. I am requesting a full refund. I have called your patient advocate requesting a call from the corporate offices and specifically requested that I not have to speak to the office anymore. Only to have the office call and leave a message laughing that no matter what I do, the office will always call me. I want to speak to the corporate offices!!

I have filed a complaint with the Florida office of Consumer Services, The Florida Attorney general and the BBB, I want my refund of my full amount paid to you. You have indicated on multiple sites that you will not treat patients over 42 BMI. I have a BMI of 44 as was documented by Lonnie when I went into your facility. The doctor will not do what I have asked to be done until I am at a 41.9 BMI. The office should never have forced me to pay anything until I was at that required BMI. I want my money refunded completely, as your company cannot perform the services that I have requested.

Loss:
$20981

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not trust this company to be honest and don't let them take your money under false promises!!

I am still wait for some to contact me about a $5,000 since February 2025.

Stop taking money before they know for sure they can do the procedure. I am happy I did pay it all up front they would have $11,000 instead.

The money was given in February and Sono Belle said the would have it refund by the end of September. Today is October 21, 2025. My patience has ran out.

It appears the I will have to hire attorney to get my money back. They pay the court cost and the attorney fees.

Did not get the body or help after surgery

10 months of waiting for results, and nothing, followed all the instructions that were given to me, kept all my visits, went through pure *** with the procedure but kept up the hope and nothing, was told I may have to do it again, are you *** kidding me, I am exercising, cutting down on food and I still look like I am 9 months pregnant, are you going to stand behind what you state on T V and all your ads?

Resolved: ABEX told me the surgery is in Austin.

Updated by user Aug 26, 2025

A Sono Bello Employees called I was really upset about the price. And she explained everything and was very professional.

I all together decided not to do the procedure but work out and lift weights.

Think about the procedure before you do it. It's your body, And you don't need a sales pitch for a major procedure.

Original review Aug 11, 2025

I went to sono bello in Waco TX and they told me I would have to drive to Austin TX to receive the surgery. Also the price they gave me is more expensive than a plastic surgeon quote. For an extended abdominalplasty .

False statements on tv

you advertise 1 day results which may take place but you fail to also note on the showing of the models the down time and the type of procedure the model had before taking the after photos.

User's recommendation: show after photos with type of procedure and the down time

Will not refund for a procedure I did not have

They rushed me and after speaking to my physician It was suggested I reconsider

I am being treated for psychiatric issues and didnt think through thoroughly before I paid. I should have never paid upfront. Also charging me the full amount with no refund for scheduling/pro op consultation for the procedure that was slotted in a quite quickly do to a cancellation they had charged someone else for and probably didnt refund them either
