A New Beginning: Addy’s Transformation with Sono Bello

From Weight Loss to Skin Removal: The Next Step in Addy’s Journey

For Addy Byrdic, taking control of her body was a journey that started long before she walked into Sono Bello Charleston. After gastric sleeve surgery 13 months ago, the special education assistant and mother of two successfully lost a significant amount of weight—but something still held her back.

“I was already proud of my weight loss,” Addy shares, “but I couldn’t wait to see my results after turning to Sono Bello to remove loose skin and sculpt my stomach, waist, and thighs.”

Through careful research, she found that AbEX, combined with TriSculpt, was the best solution for her goals. Unlike traditional skin removal surgeries, AbEX is performed awake and requires minimal downtime, making it the ideal choice for someone with a busy lifestyle like Addy.

Choosing Sono Bello in Charleston, SC

Before making any major decision, Addy likes to gather all the facts.

“I’m a researcher,” she explains. “I needed to see every aspect of the procedure before committing to it.”

Her research led her to Sono Bello Charleston, where she saw real before-and-after transformations of patients who had also struggled with loose, sagging skin after weight loss. The results gave her confidence that she had found the right place to complete her transformation.

Her best friend, Ashley, had undergone a procedure at Sono Bello Charleston just two days before, reinforcing her decision.

“That made me feel even more confident in my choice,” she says. “Me and my friends have talked about Sono Bello, and seeing Ashley’s experience firsthand really helped.”

The Procedure: Saying Goodbye to Loose Skin

Under the care of Dr. Dutton, Addy had AbEX and TriSculpt performed on her upper and lower abdomen, waist, knees, and thighs.

AbEX is Sono Bello’s exclusive skin removal procedure, designed to remove loose, excess skin while also providing a more contoured, toned appearance. By combining micro-laser liposuction with skin tightening, AbEX allows patients to see dramatic, lasting results without the need for general anesthesia.

Life After Sono Bello: A New Level of Confidence

As Addy recovered, she started to see a transformation she never thought possible.

“This was something I had always wanted to do, but I never thought it was achievable,” she shares. “Why not? Why can’t I have what I thought was only in my dreams? If I can do it, so can others.”

One of the biggest surprises for Addy? Her new approach to fitness.

“Walking is my new go-to exercise,” she says. “That’s something I never thought I’d say before.”

But she’s not stopping there—her next major goal is to complete a 5K.

“A 5K is definitely on my list to accomplish,” she says. “Now that I’ve taken control of my body, I want to challenge myself in new ways.”

Becoming a Sono Bello Ambassador: Inspiring Others

For Addy, sharing her story is about more than just her own transformation—it’s about encouraging others who may be considering the same journey.

Her reasons for becoming a Sono Bello Ambassador?

  • To help others see that their dreams are achievable
  • To do something she always wanted but never thought possible.
  • The incentives that come with being an ambassador.

“I want people to see that there’s an option out there,” she says. “It’s not just about losing weight—it’s about feeling good in your own skin.”
