Was treated very well here. 1st time having anything like this done before. Had abs, waist and back bra rolls done. Had almost no pain during procedure and very minimal post procedure. Only a few weeks out and liking what I see so far. Don't expect to pay the $1295 per area. Prices are determined by BMI. So it was pricey, but permanent.

Having great results from the Venus non-invasive and it's comfortable to receive the greatness. Plus there is a great staff to welcome and to guide you through the process!

I can't say enough about my experience at Sono Bello Cleveland in late August. I had a lift procedure which I am so happy with! Everyone from the staff to Dr. Malhotra treated me wonderfully and guided me through the procedure. My consultant, Rose Ann Balsamo, took great care of me and made sure all of my questions were answered. She was very helpful both before and after the procedure and made me feel comfortable though every step. I couldn't be happier with my results! I would highly recommend Sono Bello!

At 51 years old and a lifetime of dieting, I wanted some help to achieve the type of body I knew was hiding. These folks are wonderful! They addressed my concerns; my first procedure on my hips, waist, abdomen and bra roll was so painless--I worried at first that it wasn't going to work! Now, two weeks later, I am so AMAZED at how good I feel and look. If you are considering having this done, I highly recommend this staff.

I had laser liposuction on my hips and thighs 8 days ago. I can really see a difference. I have been having to buy shorts that are 1 to 2 sizes smaller already! I would recommend this to anyone who is not satisfied with how their body looks and is close to their goal but just can't seem to reach it!! I feel so much better and have more motivation to get up and move!! Dr Volk and his staff were so great! Made me feel so comfortable at each appt. I was also very impressed with the fact that the Doctor himself called me the evening of my procedure to see how I was doing. I would do this again!!

I recently had laser liposuction (8 days ago) and was thrilled to lose 9 1/2 pounds of fat. I feel terrific. Only needed pain pills for 2 days then switched to tylenol. Am back at work. I usually wear XL or 1X clothing and went to buy a cute summer dress and a size medium fit. Wow, I am feeling good. Thanks so much, Lola

Wanted to send in a quick update. It's been 5 weeks since my initial procedure. Swelling has gone down substantially just like they said it would. Pain has subsided. Things are really starting to look great! I could not recommend Sono Bello, Edina enough! They have such a great staff. Thanks again! - Paul

It didn’t matter how much exercise and dieting I did, my stomach and love handles were not going away. Summer came and the thought of wearing a t-shirt and shorts was out of the question. I was much more comfortable in a baggy sweater and stretch pants. I had heard about Sono Bello from a friend, so I made an appointment for a consultation at the Edina, MN location. After my consultation with Casi, I knew I was going to go through with the procedure. Casi was so kind and reassuring. This is exactly what I needed. Dr Hatfield performed the procedure and I would highly recommend her. The procedure itself was a little nerve racking, but they give you good meds and atmosphere was very relaxing. Today is 2 weeks in and I feel and look great. I can’t believe the results. My stomach is flat, even when I am sitting down. I am able to wear clothes I haven’t worn in a couple years. By far, this was the best thing I have ever done for myself!!!

It's been 2 months since I had everything done. I couldn't be happier!! Still seeing great results and feeling great!! Everyone at Sono Bello, Edina was awesome. They all made me feel very comfortable from my first consultation forward. I would do it all over again - no regrets!

It's been a year and I am still seeing results!!! I am having so much fun with my clothes this summer. I am doing a little touch up with a few Venus treatments, I had one session already so watch for my post on the Venus. Why wait, pick up the phone and give Julie a call at Sonno Bello in Edina to schedule your consult!!

To all of the wonderful ladies at Sono Bello, Edina, I wanted to thank you for making me feel so comfortable and relaxed before, during and after my procedure. From the initial visit, I knew I was in good hands. My consultant made extra effort to work around my schedule. She walked me through the procedure, explaining everything, and extended as much time and care as I needed to answer all of my questions. That alone made for an easy decision to proceed. The surgeon and his team were friendly, professional, and made good conversation with me during the procedure as I didnt need to be put to sleep, only sedated. The one week follow up came quickly. Everything was moving along well, so it was just nice to catch up and say hi to everyone at the office. Ive had one visit since, and everything is moving along great. The front desk staff makes getting everything I need very simple helping to speed along my recovery time. Very excited to see the transformation over the next few months! Thanks for everything! - Paul J

I have (or should I say had) a problem with my thighs. Despite 2 years of working out regularly and eating right as well as multiple attempts at non-surgical laser options I finally decided nothing else was going to work. So I read many reviews and came across Sono Bello. I was very apprehensive but after meeting with Casi for a consultation I couldn't book my surgery fast enough. The morning of the procedure I was nervous. Not a fan of needles or pain. Honestly Dr. Volk placed my IV and I didn't even feel it. The nurse game me a quick shot in my thigh which I barely felt and when they infused the lidocaine to help numb things up I was afraid I would feel that, but I barely felt anything the entire time. I thought I would want to be distracted but the time went by so quickly and we were listening to music and it was a very positive and relaxing experience. I am only a little over a week out but feel great. I didn't require any pain meds besides some tylenol the first day. I was a little sore if I walked fast the first 3 days but went to work normally after that. I am a little over a week out and there is still swelling there but it's amazing to walk and not have my thighs touch! It really was a great experience and everyone was so nice and friendly. I'm very happy to have found them.

Well, it has been just over a year since my first procedure with Sono Bello. After struggling with belly fat for years and trying many things on the market, nothing worked for me. So I research and found Sono Bello. I was very pleased with their friendly staff. I had such amazing results they put my before and after photo's on their site. I have recently returned to Sono Bello and had my thighs done. I am still healing, but already see great results. Thank you Sono Bello for getting my confidence back.

My recent procedure with Sono Bello in Edina was the absolute best! The whole process was very easy and very informative! I met with Casi who did my consultation; she made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. When I went in for the pre-op I met with Dr.Flagg, I was very excited and knew what to expect as far as my results after meeting with him. The morning of my procedure I was very nervous, but after meeting with the staff I felt more comfortable. During the procedure Dr.Flagg and two nurses that assisted he made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone that’s ready to make a change in their life. The staff is very friendly and very professional. My results are mind blowing! I am very happy that I worked with Sono Bello and would definitely do it again if I had to.

I know when I went searching for reviews before going in, all I wanted to know was "Did you see results? And how much of a result did you see?" Because when you go in, they will tell you the truth. Results do in fact vary per the individual. But I can tell you MY experience.

I am 4 wks post op 1st procedure and 3 wks post op on the 2nd. I am still swollen and yet I am AMAZED. I'd be happy with where I'm at now even if I wasn't still swollen. So, you can imagine how ecstatic I'll be in another month.

I also read a lot of glowing reviews about the staff when doing my own research for Sono Bello. When you walk in the Edina location, the first thing you see is a couple of gorgeous women behind the front desk. Little intimidating. Until you meet Julie. She could not have been sweeter, more welcoming, or LESS intimidating.

All the nursing staff was awesome to say the least. The RN on staff, Lisa, is simply the bomb. Answered any and all my goofy questions at the end of her very long days.

Very Simply, Sono Bello is everything they say they are. I never write reviews unless companies are extremely good or extremely bad. Dr. Volk was my doc and he is the very best!!

I had a great experience with Sono Bella. The staff is professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. The experience I had from the consult to the 6month post checkup went great. I was back to work in a few days after the procedure. Any discomfort during the initial recovery time was easily managed, my 1 week results were amazing and it kept getting better from there. I am more than pleased with my results. My figure has changed, along with my attitude about my body, and even my overall confidence.

In the past few years as I aged into my 50s, I found that despite exercising regularly and being careful with my diet, that I developed excess belly fat and “love handles”. I attempted to get rid of this excess fat by increasing my workouts and further restricting my diet. That worked, but I found it completely unsustainable; I was spending much of my free time exercising, and I always felt like I was starving. As soon as I returned to a normal workout regimen (one hour, five times per week) and a normal diet, the fat would slowly build back on.



This prompted me to look into laser lipo as a way to get rid of the nuisance fat. I wasn’t searching for a “magic bullet” for weight loss, but rather a way to clean up bulky areas that I was not able to maintain through reasonable effort on my own. I also wanted to be able to wear better fitting clothes without appearing like a sausage that was pinched in the middle.



After some research I decided to go in to Sono Bello for a consultation. I found the office very clean and modern, and the staff friendly and professional. During the consultation, I was informed on what they could and could not do as well as the risks and costs involved, so that I was able to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed.



i decided to have my chest, abdomen, and sides done. Dr. Flagg was my surgeon; he had a very easy manner and it was obvious that he knew exactly was he was doing. As part of his exam he pointed out what he saw as my problem areas and how he was going to proceed, and he set realistic expectation for my results. As an aside, I’d like to point out that, at no time did anyone on the staff lead me into having unrealistic expectations and that this was cure-all.



The surgery for me was uneventful. I had my procedure done on a Saturday; my surgical sites stopped draining by Monday morning, and I returned to work on Tuesday. There was an expected level of bruising that peaked about 4 days after the procedure, and some tenderness that lasted for a few days, but that was manageable with Tylenol. At first it was tough to see the results due to puffiness, but within a couple weeks I was noticeably thinner around my waist and chest.



Over the months my treated areas healed nicely, and there was no scarring at the entry points., I was pleased to see the bulkiness was removed from my waist and chest and that things had tightened and flattened.



At my 6 month checkup, I decided to have an additional area, the “bra roll” on my back done. I am still healing from that, but it is healing well. Again, I had very little post-op pain and bruising and drained from the surgical sites for only one day. I had this surgery on Friday was able to return to work on Monday.



When I went in for this additional procedure, I was pleased to see that Dr. Flagg had changed some of his operating room protocols, because that indicated to me that the medical staff is keeping up on the latest procedures in order to improve outcomes. I also found out that Dr. Flagg had moved (back) to Chicago, but that he was flying to Minneapolis regularly to ensure that his existing active patients continued to receive his care. It was good to see such professional dedication to his patients.



I would like to point out that no invasive medical intervention is without risk, and you should know how your body reacts to injury before deciding to take on a surgical solution. if you are in poor or questionable health, react poorly to injury, have a low pain threshold, or expect that this is a quick weight loss solution, this may not be for you; it,isn’t for everyone. But I am in good general health, I exercise regularly, and my body recovers well when injured, so I healed quickly and am extremely pleased with my results. This is in no small part due to the professionalism and expertise of the staff at Sono Bello.

It took me almost a year to decide have liposuction on my waist, upper, and lower abdomen. After having my consultation and meeting my team, I was convinced this was the right option for me. The entire staff made me feel very comfortable and provided me with thorough information to not only make the best decision, but also to have realistic expectations for the procedure and results. The team on the day of my procedure, Dr Saxon (surgeon), Ben (PA), and Kimmy (nurse) made every effort to make sure I was completely comfortable and that I would have the best possible outcome. Dr Saxon took the extra time to ensure not only comfort, but also an excellent result. He even called me the night of my procedure and the next day to check in. While my results may not be typical, I will divulge that 4 days post procedure, I tried on a whole section of my closet that was designated to be donated because the clothes no longer fit. Not only did the zippers zip again, but the clothes looked great on my new figure. There are no words that can describe the joy and renewed self confidence I felt at that moment. This was absolutely a worthwhile investment in myself that I would not hesitate to do again

I tried everything- diet, exercise, supplements, creams and gels, anything on the market to lose the fat around my middle. I was frustrated and discouraged until I met with Casi and Dr. Volk who gave me an option I hadn't considered before. They gave me all the detailed and honest information about my procedure and results. They were right on! I also appreciated not having a general anesthetic! They were so wonderful to work with- Dr. Volk, Casi, Josie, the entire staff made the experience enjoyable and worthwhile. Don't delay if you are considering this procedure- the results are amazing and so worth it! Wish I would have done it sooner!

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Julie, Casi, Josie, Dr. Flagg.......the entire staff was so warm, professional and kind. This was a hard decision on my part to make to go through with my procedure, but the people at this facility were absolutely amazing! Thank you! I am so happy with my choice, and extremely happy with the people I met!!!!
