To help get the process started and ensure that patients enter their free pre-op consultation with as much information as possible, here is a breakdown of what TriSculpt has to offer Orlando area patients.

What is TriSculpt®? How is it different from traditional liposuction?

The term “liposuction” refers to a surgical procedure developed to remove undesired subcutaneous fat. Sono Bello’s TriSculpt® procedure is a micro-laser liposuction that permanently eliminates fat cells from a person’s body.

This technology is part of what sets TriSculpt® apart from – and ahead of – more old-fashioned surgeries. TriSculpt’s differentiating factors can be summarized with three key facets.

The surgery involves the use of awake localized anesthesia, which ensures that only the target areas are numbed while you remain conscious during the procedure.

The surgery includes power-assisted liposuction, which employs specialized tools to remove unwanted fat effectively and safely.

Laser-assisted liposuction is utilized to further enhance the precision and results of the procedure by using laser energy to liquefy fat cells for easier removal.

Together, these three facets offer Orlando patients a comprehensive fat-removal treatment option for achieving optimal body contouring results. As a local leader in micro-laser liposuction, Sono Bello offers a range of customized procedures that target areas such as the stomach, hips, thighs, waist, arms, and back rolls to help patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.

Comparing traditional liposuction with Sono Bello’s Tri-Sculpt highlights advancements in the field.

Why should patients in Orlando choose laser liposuction?

Tri-Sculpt utilizes power-assisted equipment and laser for more efficient and less traumatic fat extraction, resulting in some significant benefits for patients.

Laser liposuction promotes skin tightening.

One of the advantages of laser liposuction is that it can stimulate collagen production in the treated area, leading to improved skin elasticity and tightening. The laser energy heats the underlying skin tissues, causing collagen fibers to contract and tighten, resulting in firmer and smoother skin. This can help reduce sagging or loose skin that may occur after traditional liposuction, which only focuses on fat removal without the additional benefit of skin tightening.

Laser liposuction is less invasive.

Laser liposuction uses smaller incisions for cannula insertion than traditional procedures, which means that the surgery causes less trauma to the patient’s skin and other tissues. This can be especially beneficial for patients who are concerned about visible scars after their liposuction procedure.

More invasive, traditional liposuction can also result in uneven or irregular skin contouring, as it involves manual removal of fat using a suction technique. However, laser liposuction’s ability to liquefy fat cells before removal can lead to more natural-looking results. The laser energy helps to break up fibrous connective tissue that can contribute to skin dimpling, resulting in a smoother appearance.

Laser liposuction requires only minimal anesthesia.

Anesthesia is minimized in Tri-Sculpt, with only minimal oral sedation used for comfort, while relying on a tumescent solution technique for numbing and hemostasis. This approach minimizes physiological stress on the body compared to heavy anesthesia used in traditional liposuction.

Laser liposuction procedures are highly customizable.

Laser liposuction allows for precise targeting of specific areas of the body, which can be customized to each patient’s unique needs and desired results. This precision can help minimize damage to surrounding tissues, including the skin, and reduce the risk of complications.

Laser liposuction has a faster recovery time.

Since laser liposuction is typically less invasive than traditional options – involving smaller incisions and less trauma to the surrounding tissues – it can have a faster healing and recovery times for patients.

Put simply, less bruising, swelling, and discomfort means that patients have less to recover from following the surgery. Additionally, the laser energy itself can help actually promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation during the surgery which further eases the recovery process.

We’ve given our team members an additional day off of work so that they can go out and participate in the celebrations of pride and love taking place in their communities. We’ve even outfitted our team members with rainbow Sono Bello swag to wear in support of the LGBTQ community. 

In addition to Pride Month, June 19th (Juneteenth) is another special time of celebration and remembrance that we encourage our team and community members to observe this month. The holiday, also known as Freedom Day and Liberation Day, marks the date (June 19, 1865) when – nearly two whole years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 – American troops arrived in Texas to take control of the state and ensure the freeing of its 250,000 enslaved persons. U.S. General Gordon Granger famously read aloud to an assembly of Texans the contents of General Orders No. 3 which stated that “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” 

Although our country is still healing from the evils of slavery, this date, June 19, 1865, did mark the effective end of slavery as a legal institution in the United States. Therefore, this day, above all others, is most poignantly associated with emancipation and freedom. 

Juneteenth is a celebration. However, it’s also an opportunity for learning and re-thinking what we know about racism in America. To help our team and community members enhance their understanding of this complex issue, we’ve invited Jodi-Ann Burey (she/her) to speak at our Diversity & Inclusion Webinar.  

Jodi Ann Burey is a writer and activist whose mission is to disrupt “business as usual” in order to achieve social change. Her TED talk “The Myth of Bringing Your Full Authentic Self to Work” is a perfect example of how she is offering a new version of the traditional narratives about racism and positing her own unique, modern takes on the issue.  

Jodi Ann Burey’s full address to the Sono Bello community will be broadcast at Sono Bello locations nationwide. And in honor of the holiday, we’re asking all centers to cater lunch from a black-owned restaurant in their area.  

Thank you for reading. We hope that your June has been full of pride and happiness thus far. As always, if there’s anything we can do to help you live a more beautiful life, please contact us.

On a month-to-month basis, this disparity has often been even more dramatic. For example, in December of 2020, women famously accounted for 100% of all the jobs lost in the U.S. economy.

After seeing these statistics, we knew we needed to act. Women make up over 80% of our team members, and our client base is 85% women. Our mission is to transform lives by removing those areas of stubborn fat, thus improving our clients’ self-image and boosting their confidence. We believe that when someone feels positive about themselves, that positivity manifests itself in all areas of their life, including their career.

Guided by this vision and motivated by the U.S. job-loss numbers, we decided to partner with Dress for Success, a non-profit that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing them with a network of support, development tools, and professional attire.

We were proud to sponsor their “31 Days of Women in Power” campaign. In honor of Women’s History Month, Sono Bello donated over $80,000 to Dress for Success, impacting the lives of thousands of unemployed and underpaid women. To learn more about how Sono Bello and Dress for Success worked together to promote women helping women, check out this video from our YouTube channel:

We also spent the month of March highlighting the many female leaders on our own team via our social channels. Inspired by Marian Wright Edelman’s famous quote “You cannot be what you cannot see,” we wanted to showcase our many female employees in leadership positions to show other women what’s possible. Check out our Instagram to see all of the posts from Women’s History Month.

By shining a light on our own female leaders, giving back to a non-profit that empowers women to gain employment, and helping our patients live beautiful lives, we’ve hopefully begun to chip away at this monumental issue. We thank you all for your support and invite you to continue taking positive, proactive steps towards economic equality for women.

Preparing for your upcoming laser liposuction surgery can significantly help your experience post-surgery. Let’s talk through five key points to ensure you have the best experience and are fully prepared!

1. Set realistic expectations.

First set your expectations appropriately. Not all healing is alike. The pain levels and time it takes to heal after laser liposuction is different for every person! You may hear from friends that they had no pain, or severe pain, or anywhere in between – do not assume your journey will be the same!

2. Prepare to take some downtime.

Be prepared to have a few days of rest to allow your body healing after surgery. We encourage you to walk around but please don’t plan any big activities.

3. Equip yourself with the tools to minimize post-op swelling.

The next thing to be prepared for post-surgery is swelling! We will provide you with a surgical garment to help reduce the discomfort of your swelling. Change takes time.

Practical things to prepare for! You will want to make a run to the local store to pick up a few items: poise pads, towels you can throw away, ibuprofen, and trash bags. You will experience drainage the first 24-48 hours after surgery – this is totally normal! The poise pads will be your band-aids. You simply swap out your poise pads from under your surgical garment as often as needed until drainage stops.

4. Have a friend or family member drive you home.

Last but not least, plan on having someone to drive you home, and stay with you for 24 hours after surgery. This is imperative to your safety and you will be very glad to have the help!

5. Stop consuming caffeine 48 hours before surgery.

In the days leading up to and the morning of surgery, be sure to stop taking any form of caffeine at least 48 hours in advance, drink a ton of fluids so you are very well hydrated, and eat a small meal before coming in the morning of surgery.

After losing a massive amount of weight, it is common for those last few pounds to lag behind. One of our patients, Oscar, lost 100 lbs but couldn’t shed the last of his unwanted fat to reach his weight loss goals. He began the search for the perfect cosmetic team and found Sono Bello. “The reason why I chose Sono Bello was because I wanted to undergo a procedure that was noninvasive, a quick recovery, and the testimonials were just it for me! I knew from then on that Sono Bello was the right choice for me,” he said. After his procedure, Oscar felt like a new person.

Oscar lost weight and gained confidence. Underneath his unwanted fat was newfound fearlessness and perseverance to continue living a healthy lifestyle. Oscar was stunned that he was seeing results within a week of his procedure. He kept progressing in his journey and was able to wear clothes he never would have before his Sono Bello procedure. Oscar said his results were improving as each month passed. He felt amazing and even joined a gym and began wearing short sleeves in public; something he never had the courage to do before his procedure. “I’m so thankful for Sono Bello for completely changing my life. My self-confidence has definitely increased!” he said. Oscar admitted he use to feel sad and never wanted to do anything. Now, he finds himself wanting to socialize, dress up, and be active. “I just love life,” he said. We believe being confident in your own skin is important, which is why we pride ourselves in helping our patients achieve their dreams.

Receiving compliments from family and friends about his transformation meant a lot to Oscar. It made him feel even more satisfied about his weight loss. “The people in my life have definitely reacted positively. My friends and family are always like, ‘You look so good!’ Even complete strangers are asking, ‘Do you work out? What’s your secret?’ The best thing about this entire process has to be my results! I never thought that my body could transform into this body I dreamed of.” Oscar is proud of his commitment to working hard and not being afraid to seek help to improve his results. We were thrilled to help him become his best self.

Oscar was very pleased with our Sono Bello center located in Schaumburg, IL, outside of Chicago. “The staff was so caring, loving, and always there to answer any questions I had. That would have to be the best thing about this entire process,” he exclaimed. “Whenever I’m asked about Sono Bello from friends and family or even strangers, I tell them about my success. To the results, they can achieve! To how Sono Bello has changed my life and how it could change theirs. To doing what makes them happy! Ultimately Sono Bello was the best decision I ever made!” Oscar’s life has changed in the best way possible.

We have recently added a second surgical center, located in Oak Brook, IL, for better convenience to all Chicago area residents. If you are ready to start living your life beautifully, give us a call.

It Will be Too Painful

Pain varies from person to person, but most of our patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure and throughout the short recovery period. Additionally, Sono Bello’s TriSculpt® procedure is performed using local anesthesia while the patient is awake. This allows the patient to let the doctor know if they are experiencing any discomfort so adjustments can be made.

The Fat Will Return Somewhere Else

Liposuction does not “shrink” fat cells, it actually removes them from the body completely. These fat cells cannot grow back, and they do not reappear in new areas of the body. By eating right and exercising regularly, you can maintain your new shape and prevent future weight gain.

Liposuction is Only for Women

Anyone is a candidate for liposuction! At Sono Bello, we have transformed the lives of countless men and women. Check out our gallery of men’s before and after photos to see some of the amazing transformations we have helped our male Sono Bello patients achieve!

Liposuction is Only for Celebrities

Although many celebrities do get liposuction, the procedure is attainable for anyone! The body you’ve been dreaming of may be more affordable than you think. Our patients are often surprised by how affordable Sono Bello procedures are. Additionally, we work with reputable financing companies to offer a variety of payment plans that meet almost any budget.

Liposuction Leaves Big Scars

Sono Bello’s TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction procedure is minimally invasive. The incisions made are very small, and most of our patients report little to no scarring after recovery. With appropriate skin care and adequate time, you will likely not even notice your incision site.

I’m Too Old for Lipo

Don’t let age hold you back from the body you deserve! Almost anyone in good health is a candidate for liposuction, regardless of age. You’ll find many examples of patients who have had a Sono Bello procedure in retirement or beyond on our page of success stories.

Five Ways Cold Weather and Cosmetic Treatment are a Natural Fit

1. The holidays can be a slow time at work, and a new year often means a reset for paid days off, so it may be easier to take time for personal renewal and transformation.
2. Winter brings colder weather and shorter days, which means less exposure to intense sunlight. This can beneficial during the days immediately following many procedures, making winter an ideal time to move forward with a new look.
3. Making an important personal change at a time when many others may be doing the same can be motivating. Whether you see other experience success or struggle to stick with it, the reminder of why it’s important to do something positive for yourself—and follow through with your plans—can be powerful.
4. If your procedure happens to involve bandages or results in temporary swelling, winter clothing makes it easy to dress for discretion, unlike more revealing summer attire.
5. Scheduling treatment in winter gives you time to get used to “the new you” following your transformation. You can be looking and feeling amazing by the time spring or summer arrives—just when you want to be out and about and enjoying life to its fullest.

An Option for Every Budget

The decision to move forward with health or beauty treatment involves many factors, and budget is always an important consideration. Paying by cash, check, or debit card is straightforward, but what if you prefer not to cover the entire cost at once? A general purpose credit card allows more time to pay, but once the monthly billing cycle concludes, the options may be to pay in full or immediately begin paying substantial interest.

For those who would rather take 6, 12, or 24 months or longer to pay*, based on purchase amount, promotional financing with the CareCredit health, wellness, and personal care credit card can be a good fit. Sono Bello has an established relationship with CareCredit, and cardholders can use their credit card to pay for both products and services.

If you’re ready to make the coming year your best ever—with a great new look and payment options to fit your budget— give us a call at 1-888-511-4226 and schedule your free consultation.
