Christy is a 45-year-old lifestyle and parenting influencer whose life is always being filmed and recorded. Once she gave birth to her children (triplets!), she tried everything to get her pre-baby body back, but with three children and a hectic work schedule, she didn’t see the results she wanted.

Each time she was on camera, she would get frustrated trying to find her best angle or dress to hide the excess skin and fat that hung around her midsection. “I felt super insecure every time I put on a bathing suit; the triplets changed my body a lot,” she said.

Christy decided enough was enough. What is the point of always covering up and hiding your insecurities? She decided it was time to find a permanent solution to her excess fat and skin.

“I want to share solutions with my followers, including what you can do to help your post-pregnancy body,” Christy said. “After carrying the triplets, my body changed a lot, and I don’t have much time for myself right now, so this would finally be something for me.”

Visiting Sono Bello

Christy worked with our Detroit, MI, center to come up with a plan and appropriate procedures to tackle all of her insecurities at once. She decided that AbEX’s ability to target both fat and excess skin would allow her to see the results she wanted immediately without the downtime of a traditional tummy tuck. After all, she has three little ones to keep up with.

She chose to target her upper and lower abdomen, waist, hips, and back bra roll to give her entire midsection a smoother, contoured look.

“The center was top-notch,” Christy said. “Everyone there was absolutely amazing, and I just felt pampered.”

Life After AbEX

Christy’s surgery went smoothly, and she was back home and walking around the same day. Within the first three days, she was back to doing simple activities, and in the first two weeks, she was back in the swing of everyday life.

“I saw the results right away,” she said. “It was so shocking, but in a good way. I feel more confident in general.”

Now, Christy is excited to share her journey with the world. After her procedure, she found a (literal and figurative) weight lifted off her. She was fitting into clothing better, moving easier, and felt confident in herself again.

Christy’s post-surgery plans include going to the lake with her kids and living life to the fullest. She’s excited to live in the moment and enjoy the adventures to come without anything standing in her way.

Kelly is an active and fit 59-year-old mother of two. She is a spokesperson for restorative health and fitness companies and knows what it’s like to be healthy and active. Even with a lifestyle that revolves around health and wellness, she couldn’t target the stubborn fat pockets that seemed only to get more stubborn as she got older.

“I do yoga, exercise, and eat healthily, but my stomach has always bothered me,” Kelly said. “I feel like I’m at the age where it’s not as easy to target that stubborn area, especially after different surgeries and pregnancies over the years.”

Kelly decided it was time to stop worrying about her appearance. She chose to look for permanent solutions for the things that made her self-conscious so she could spend her time having fun and living life.

“I wanted to feel better in my clothes and swimsuits,” she said. “Even though my husband always tells me I’m beautiful, I’m still self-conscious about how I look.”

Why Sono Bello

Kelly chose to visit Sono Bello because of the benefits AbEX had to offer. With AbEX, she could target the fat throughout her abdomen while also removing the excess skin for a permanent, contoured look after only one visit.

“I wanted a smoother stomach and waistline since I’ve had a hard time getting that back over the years,” Kelly said. “The ability to target those specific, stubborn areas gives me hope and a bit more confidence.”

Kelly got her procedure in at our St. Louis, MO location. After a successful surgery, she went back home that afternoon to recover. Less than a week later, she returned to regular, light activities and saw results immediately.

“I want to show other women that you can make a change at any age,” she said. “It’ll better your mind, body, and spirit. You deserve it.”

Only 60 days post-op, Kelly is living life with her new body to the fullest. She’s wearing swimsuits confidently, going to events, and showing the world just how good you can feel in your fifties.

Shatima’s weight loss journey began several years ago when she decided that she wanted to pursue a career in show business. She was happy enough at her nine-to-five job but knew deep down that her personality and charisma were meant to be in front of a camera.  

Luckily, her intuition to follow her dreams turned out to be right, and in the past few years, she’s begun a promising career as a television personality. The only issue was, despite the way she felt on the inside, she didn’t feel as confident in her outward appearance.  

She was self-conscience about her body, especially the stubborn fat that – despite her strict fitness and nutritional regiments – refused to burn away. This discomfort impacted her performance. She had lost some weight but still struggled to eliminate problem areas.  

If she was going to reach her full potential, Shatima knew she needed to be confident and self-assured, so she decided to seek help from professionals. 

She looked into a number of treatment options and ultimately decided to trust Sono Bello with her fat removal surgery because, during the consultation process, the support staff was “amazing” and “treated her like family.”  

Shatima felt comfortable and valued while speaking with our team, which we always love to hear. She also decided to go with Sono Bello because she “wouldn’t have to be put under” during the surgery. Since the procedure is minimally invasive, patients do not have to be under general anesthesia in the operating room.  

On October 15th, Shatima went in for her liposuction surgery at our Norfolk, VA location. She had the excess fat permanently removed from her upper abs, lower abs, and back. She also had our AbEX procedure done on her belly to ensure the best possible results. This post-procedure excess skin removal provides a tighter, toned, and more sculpted appearance. 

Since her surgery, Shatima says that her confidence is much higher and she is looking forward to wearing the “smaller, sexier clothes I’ve always dreamed of.” She can’t wait to show off her new body in a two-piece bathing suit and continue her fitness journey by participating in more active outdoor activities.  

Professionally, her high self-esteem and newfound optimism will hopefully lead to more opportunities to be in TV shows and even some modeling gigs. She always had the attitude and the drive to be successful, and now that her outer beauty matches her inner strength, there truly is nothing holding her back. We wish her all the best in her endeavors, both personally and in her career. 

Shatima’s advice for anybody thinking about getting liposuction surgery with Sono Bello is, “Do it! It’s safe and they treat you like family.” 

If this story made you feel like it’s time to begin a self-improvement journey of your own, we encourage you to schedule a free consultation with the Sono Bello team at your earliest convenience. It’s your life; live it beautifully.

After giving birth to six children, Laquante was feeling self-conscious about her body, especially her stomach. She says she felt uncomfortable in her own skin and would always keep a shirt on, even in situations where others would take theirs off.  

Her lack of confidence made her feel ostracized and left out. She wanted more than anything to be able to participate in warm-weather activities without having to cover up her belly.  

For months, she worked hard towards the goal of slimming down her abdomen and waist, but nothing seemed to work. She tried dieting, exercising, even ultrasonic cavitation. Still, she couldn’t achieve the results she wanted.  

Determined to get her old body back and feel sexy again, she began researching liposuction procedures. She sifted through a slew of results online. Finally, Sono Bello stood out to her because of the transformative results that our patients have been able to achieve. And when she started the process of speaking with our team regarding consultation and potential procedure, she said that the “customer service was excellent,” which further encouraged her to book a procedure, which she ultimately did!  

About eight weeks ago, Laquante had her upper/lower abs and waist operated on at our Atlanta, GA location. She says the surgery went smoothly, and the recovery process, so far, has been a breeze. Three days after her operation, she could see a significant difference in her body, and her results have only gotten better since then.  

She is so happy with her new body that she is considering doing some professional modeling to help inspire other mothers who are feeling negatively about their bodies to invest in their self-improvement. Her goal is “to encourage people to do what they think will make them happy, regardless of what others may say. You get one life and should live it to the fullest.” 

Her story is proof that you don’t have to simply accept feeling unhappy about aspects of your body that you can’t change. There’s always a way to overcome these mental and physical hurdles, even if it means seeking professional help from specialists.  

After having her surgery, she says, “I am so much more confident in how I look. I love the way my clothes fit. I have gotten so many compliments on my body. I feel like I finally have the look I wanted. I am so excited about what my future holds.” 

We’re thrilled that we were able to give Laquante the body she wanted and, in doing so, get her into a more positive headspace. We wish her all the best in her new modeling career, and we’ll definitely be cheering her on via social media.  

To anyone considering having liposuction surgery, Laquante says, “Go for it. Do your research and take your time in making your decision. Most importantly, do it for yourself and not for anyone else!”

Lenora certainly wasn’t overweight, but her body wasn’t where she wanted it to be after having two kids. Her stomach specifically never totally recovered to its pre-pregnancy form, and people would often ask her if she was pregnant long after she had given birth. This was both annoying and demoralizing for Lenora since she worked hard on her physical fitness and tried to maintain a healthy diet. 

The shape of her stomach and the stubborn layer of fat cells surrounding her abdomen and waist were not her fault; they were the natural result of being a mother. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t flatten her belly. This was especially frustrating for Lenora because she works as a professional sexual wellness coach, so feeling confident and comfortable with her body is an important part of her job. How could she coach others to love themselves if her own self-esteem is lacking? She said, “I hated how I looked in clothes and did not feel good about myself. I was depressed for a long time about my weight in the stomach area.” This was when she knew that it was time to seek professional help.  

A coworker of Lenora’s had recently lost a significant amount of weight and was looking especially fit. Curious about her colleague’s recent transformation, Lenora asked what her secret was. When her coworker mentioned Sono Bello, Lenora – having already done some research on liposuction – decided that it was time to book an appointment for her own Mommy Makeover. 

After a free consultation, Lenora scheduled an appointment at our  Charlotte location to have her waist, back, belly, and bra-roll operated on. She also elected to have our  AbEX  skin tightening procedure done to ensure the smoothest possible results post-operation.  

It has now been six months since her operation, and Lenora is feeling like her old self again. She told us that “Having this procedure has boosted my self-esteem. I feel good about myself, and I can wear things that I wore before having children.”  

The surgery itself went perfectly; Lenora says her surgeon “made me comfortable and assured me that she could achieve the results I was looking for. The best part about this process was the immediate results and the support and education from Sono Bello.”  

As for the recovery, Lenora says, “The recovery time was so shocking. I was able to cook the next day. I was sore but was able to go right back to work, and I did not have much downtime.”  

And her friends and family have noticed the transformation are “amazed by the results.” Some of them have even gained the confidence to book procedures for themselves. The best part of the whole process for Lenora, like so many of our patients, was the confidence that it gave her. She can now wear form-fitting dresses without a girdle, she can wear two-piece bathing suits to the beach, and best of all, she says, “other people can feel the positive change in my energy.”  

Overall, Lenora’s Sono Bello journey was a resounding success. Her advice for any women (especially mothers) who are feeling down about their appearance after having children is, “Why wait? This is an affordable way to get rid of stubborn fat and reclaim your body.”  

If any part of Lenora’s story resonated with you, we highly encourage you to schedule a free consultation at your earliest convenience. When it comes to your health and happiness, you deserve the best. So, let’s get your Sono Bello transformation started!

Since giving birth to twins, Rita struggled to eliminate the stubborn fat around her abdomen and waist. She tried eating healthily, working out regularly, and even intermittent fasting. Still, she couldn’t burn off the excess body fat weighing down her midsection.  

Exhausted from dedicating time and effort towards a seemingly unattainable goal, Rita started to believe that she would carry around the baby weight forever. This point is when she began looking into alternative methods for eliminating excess fat.  

Rita came across Sono Bello as a reputable option for permanently removing her unwanted fat during her research. She was impressed by the results that she saw women like herself achieving and became convinced that she could accomplish a similar physical transformation. “I came across Sono Bello and saw great results – I knew I could achieve those as well.”  

The essential factor for Rita when considering which surgery to get was that it be non-invasive. She wanted a quick recovery so she could return to her normal life as soon as possible. 

Fortunately, Sono Bello’s TriSculpt method of fat removal is very minimally invasive. Our TriSculpt technique utilizes advanced, high-precision lasers to remove fat which causes less physical trauma to a patient’s body than traditional liposuction. 

Inspired and confident, Rita decided to schedule an appointment to have liposuction performed on her belly, waist, and back at our Oklahoma City location.  

Since her surgery, Rita’s recovery process has gone smoothly (just like she hoped), and she’s feeling happy and healthy. She’s down 20 pounds (4 sizes) and says, “My confidence and self-esteem are much higher since having my procedure – Before Sono Bello, I thought I would always carry the baby fat from having twins. Instead, I was amazed at how I looked after the procedure – if I continue to eat right and exercise regularly, I’ll see sustained results.” 

Her family and friends have been amazed by her transformation. Some of them can hardly believe the progress that she was able to make. “People say I look much younger than I really am. I have the stamina for more vigorous workouts, and I can see my body continuing to change due to building muscle and a smaller waistline.”  

Since her surgery, Rita has loved going clothes shopping and buying outfits right off the rack. She’s also thrilled to finally be able to wear a bathing suit to the beach confidently without a big coverup.  

For anyone considering having a liposuction procedure, Rita’s advice is, “Be very specific about the goals you want to achieve and start working on them even before you get your procedure done. Then, after the surgery, if you follow all the instructions to the letter, your recovery will be smooth.” 

If you’re interested in beginning a Sono Bello transformation of your own, we highly encourage you to schedule a free consultation at your earliest convenience. It’s your life; live it beautifully.

After having two children, Adrian noticed her body had permanently changed.

“With my first pregnancy, I probably went a size up,” says Adrian, 34. At the time, she wasn’t too concerned about it.

But, during her second pregnancy, her body underwent drastic changes. She started holding weight in new places, like her lower abdomen. And it was more difficult to lose fat once she’d gained it.

“It was just beyond [what I’d experienced before]. I felt like a whole different person,” Adrian says.

“My friends and family loved [me for me], but I wasn’t happy with what I saw in the mirror.”

Determined to get her body and confidence back, Adrian tried exercising and dieting.

But personal trainers and gym memberships couldn’t help her get the results she desired. Growing tired of yo-yo dieting and obsessing over food, Adrian decided to find another way to lose the fat.

As a producer for Sono Bello’s commercials, Adrian felt inspired by our patients’ amazing success stories. She could resonate with their stories about trying and failing to lose stubborn fat.

Eager to make a positive transformation in her own life, she decided to have a Sono Bello procedure herself. She was ready to do anything to get the results she wanted and deserved.

In July 2020, Adrian had Sono Bello’s AbEX micro-laser liposuction procedure on her abdomen, chin, and neck areas. Just days post-procedure, she knew she’d made the right decision. She already looked slimmer, especially in her jaw and neck areas, and her figure started to look thinner. By one week post-op, Adrian was already digging through her closet, trying to find smaller clothes to fit her new body.

“Before Sono Bello, just jeans and a t-shirt didn’t feel comfortable because of my stomach,” Adrian admits. But now, Adrian says she feels confident enough to wear anything.

“I’ve got my hourglass shape back!” says Adrian. “I’m so, so excited. I’m pulling out clothes from my closet that I haven’t worn in years!”

Elated by her progress, Adrian says she’s also started putting more effort into her hair and makeup. She has a new lust for life ⁠— and she says it’s all thanks to the results she got from Sono Bello!

“I’m so happy I decided to do Sono Bello for myself. This was my little thing for me,” Adrian says. “It was my mommy makeover!”
