Determined to feel like her best self, Brittney chose Sono Bello’s TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction. Why Sono Bello? Minimal downtime, maximum results, and a personalized approach tailored to her busy life. Here’s how Brittney transformed her confidence—and why Sono Bello could be the perfect solution for you too.

The Busy Mom Dilemma: Healthy, but Stubborn Fat

Real Life, Real Struggles
Despite her commitment to health and fitness, Brittney faced what so many moms experience: stubborn fat around her midsection that refused to go away. Pregnancy and motherhood bring incredible joy—but they can also change your body in ways that diet and exercise alone can’t fully address.

“Being a mom and business owner means I’m constantly on the go,” Brittney shared. “I just don’t have time to spend hours at the gym every day. I needed a solution that fit into my life and gave me the results I wanted.”

Why Brittney Chose Sono Bello’s TriSculpt

Minimal Downtime, Maximum Impact
Life doesn’t slow down for moms—and Brittney needed a procedure that wouldn’t either. Sono Bello’s TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction offered the perfect solution: a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery time, so she could get back to her busy life faster.

Unlike traditional liposuction, TriSculpt uses advanced micro-laser technology to target and remove stubborn fat with precision. This means less downtime, less discomfort, and stunning results. For Brittney, that meant she could continue to run her business and take care of her family without missing a beat.

“I was back to my routine in no time,” Brittney said. “Sono Bello made it so easy.”

What is TriSculpt Micro-Laser Liposuction?

Precision and Efficiency
TriSculpt is designed to target stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs—common trouble spots for moms. The procedure uses micro-lasers to gently remove fat while contouring and shaping the body. This ensures not just fat reduction, but a smoother, more sculpted look.

For Brittney, TriSculpt focused on her midsection, giving her the toned, confident look she’d been working so hard to achieve.

“I did this for me,” Brittney said. “It’s not about perfection—it’s about feeling strong, confident, and happy in my own skin. Sono Bello helped me get there.”

A mother of two and small business owner, Aimee is a busy woman. She runs a household and has a habit of putting everyone else before herself. While most mothers consider this normal, Aimee looked in the mirror one day and realized that she didn’t recognize herself anymore.

“I’d given up on myself for everyone else,” Aimee said. “I decided it was time to put myself first and do everything possible to bring my confidence back.”

Aimee spent the next three years losing nearly 100 pounds. With such extreme weight loss came excess skin that bothered her. “I tried so hard to get the body I wanted, but there was still stubborn fat and a lot of excess skin that was keeping me from seeing true results, she said.”

Still unsatisfied with her transformation, Aimee started looking into other fat loss and body contouring methods. “Within a couple of months of hearing about Sono Bello, I was in!” 

The Plan

Aimee worked with her surgical team at Sono Bello Norfolk, and together, they decided that the best procedure to address all of her concerns is AbEX, Sono Bello’s proprietary tummy tuck alternative that removes excess fat and skin.

“As a working mom, the best thing about AbEX was that I could get the whole procedure done in one day and be back to normal within a week,” Aimee said. “Getting these results in just one procedure was so impressive.”

With AbEX, Aimee had liposuction through her midsection and waist to remove stubborn fat and excess skin removal in her lower abdomen leaving her with smooth, contoured results.

Aimee’s Results

Aimee left Sono Bello Norfolk on procedure day, feeling great and ready to see her new body. “I noticed the results immediately,” Aimee said. “And through the weeks following, they just got better and better!” 

Aimee’s healing journey went smoothly, and she was back to work the week after her procedure.

Three months post-op, she was down from a size 10 to a size 6. Now, she wants to show off her results and tell anyone who feels self-conscious about their body that Sono Bello can help.

“Think of this a gift to yourself and don’t feel guilty about doing it,” she said. “I’m so glad that Sono Bello  brought back the sexy in me and my only regret was not doing it sooner!”

Sonja is a TV personality and lifestyle influencer. Spending most of her time on camera, she knows what it feels like to be self-conscious about the little things. She’s always been happy in her body. She works out, eats healthy, and feels great but over time, looking at yourself through a camera lens makes even small insecurities become noticeable.

For Sonja, it was the stubborn fat around her armpits, upper abdomen, and hips. No matter what she did, age and biology made those areas appear “pudgy” compared to the rest of her toned body.

“I look great, and I feel great,” Sonja said. “But could I take a bit off here and there? Of course. But just a little because I want it to look and feel natural.”

Why TriSculpt?

She chose Sono Bello’s TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction because she wanted to hone in on those smaller, tough-to-reach areas like the armpit.

Not only were the results important, but with Sonja’s busy schedule, she needed a procedure that would allow her to get back to work as quickly as possible. With TriSculpt, she appreciated the minimal downtime and was back on set within the week.

Sonja partnered with the Sono Bello Westchester, NY, location to come up with a plan to take care of her problem areas and remove the fat permanently.

“I’m not really one to do something that isn’t permanent,” she said. “So the fact that this stubborn fat can be gone and never come back? That’s one of the reasons I chose Sono Bello.”

Healing and Recovery

Sonja’s surgery went smoothly. She was in and out within hours and recovered easily. Within a week of her procedure, Sonja was back on set and camera ready.

Zephaniah is a busy, working mother of two who struggled to get her pre-baby body back even after trying every diet and exercise fad she could find. For many mothers, living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t yield the desired results because excess skin cannot be combated with healthy food.

While many patients begin their journey by asking questions, Zephaniah came to Sono Bello knowing what she was looking for. After a year of research, Zephaniah knew she wanted to get AbEX to target the fat from her pregnancy and remove the excess skin from her midsection all at once.

“When I was doing my research, I realized there weren’t many women out there sharing their journeys or recovery experiences so I wanted to help spread awareness,” she said.

Why Sono Bello

Zephaniah chose to visit Sono Bello because of the benefits AbEX offers over a traditional tummy tuck. She found comfort in the localized anesthesia, which allows patients to be awake the entire time and reduces recovery time compared to traditional tummy tucks.

With little ones running around, she needed an option that would let her get back to work and activities with her kids as soon as possible.

To give her the results she wanted, Zephaniah partnered with our San Antonio, TX team and decided that targeting the upper and lower abdomen, waist, and hips would smooth out her entire midsection and leave her with the waist contour she was looking for.

Post-Surgery Update

Zephaniah is only 60 days post-op from her AbEX procedure. While some swelling still needs to go down, she was stunned at the results she noticed on day one.

By day three, she was shocked: “The night before surgery, I was 39 inches around my stomach, and then on post-op day three, I was 36 inches,” she said. “I still have some swelling, but I’m excited to see my end result!”

For others considering AbEX, Zephaniah has this advice: “Go for it! Who cares what other people think or have to say,” she said. “Make an investment in yourself and in your body.”

We see many mothers who come to Sono Bello a couple of years after giving birth, eager to lose the stubborn baby weight that pregnancy leaves behind. However, Kim’s journey to Sono Bello is a bit different.

After giving birth to her daughter nearly 20 years ago, she also received a full hysterectomy five years ago. She felt down about her body post-pregnancy, but with the addition of a total hysterectomy, she hated the extra fat that seemed to fill her upper stomach.

“After doing research for about five years, I was just ready to feel better about myself again,” Kim said.

Finding Sono Bello

Kim continued to try her best to lose stubborn fat over the last ten years. She dieted, exercised, and had a lap band put in several years ago. But, while she noticed the number on the scale would decrease, fat still lingered around her stomach and throughout her entire midsection.

For five years, Kim researched surgeries, companies, doctors, and more to find a good fit. Eventually, she found Sono Bello and realized she had found the right place for her. “I knew once I had my consultation that this was the place for me,” she said.

Partnering with our Westerville, OH center just outside of Columbus, Kim and her team decided that the best course of action to permanently remove the stubborn fat from her stomach would be AbEX with additional liposuction through her back.

Kim chose AbEX because the combination of liposuction and excess skin removal could give her the flat, tight stomach she wanted. Conversely, more traditional methods would only focus on one problem area at a time.

The 30-Day Difference

Kim is only one month post-op from her procedure but is already eager to show off. After her surgery, Kim went from a size twelve to a size eight and lost nearly four inches off her waist.

“My whole look is different,” Kim said. “I don’t mind looking at myself in a full-length mirror anymore. I kind of love it!”

AbEX opened up a whole new world for Kim. She returned to everyday activities within the first week and has been experimenting with clothes, trying on her daughter’s bikinis, and showing off her stomach.

“I am looking forward to going to a beach on vacation this summer,” she said. “I’m also looking forward to buying a new wardrobe since nothing fits anymore!”

For as long as she can remember, Ornita maintained an active lifestyle. She worked out frequently, watched her diet, and took pride in her athletic appearance.  

Then, in 2017, she suffered a serious back injury at work that made any physical activity painful and burdensome. Even doing chores around the house resulted in aggravating back pain.  

Because of her limited physical movement, Ornita began to put on weight. A layer of fat slowly appeared and she couldn’t turn to her usual methods to try and lose the extra pounds.  

“The stubborn belly fat drove me crazy,” she said. 

Beginning her self-improvement journey  

Eliminating her body fat via exercise may not have been an option, but there were still things that Ornita could do to try and shed the weight that she gained. She tried several different diets, including the ketogenic diet, which is meant to encourage the body to consume fat as fuel. This focus on nutrition was mildly successful, but not successful enough to produce the results she was looking for. So, she continued watching her diet while exploring other options.  

In her research, she came across CoolSculpting. This treatment attempts to eliminate fat by freezing it. The idea is that – since fat freezes at a higher temperature than skin – you can safely freeze a person’s fat cells while leaving the rest of their healthy tissue unharmed.  

However, for Ornita, it wasn’t effective and her stubborn fat remained even after the treatment. So, she took the next logical step and started looking into liposuction surgery.  

Why Sono Bello? 

Ornita weighed her different treatment options for about six months before deciding that Sono Bello was the best choice to accomplish her fat-loss goals.  

“I chose Sono Bello after watching a few commercials as well as a handful of YouTube videos about TriSculpt,” she said. “After doing more research, I went to the consultation and everyone at the office was so pleasant.” 

About her surgery 

Ornita and the Sono Bello Atlanta, GA  team decided to schedule two separate treatments to guarantee Ornita reached her body goals using Sono Bello’s innovative AbEX procedure. Between the two appointments, Ornita received liposuction on her upper and lower abdomen and excess skin removal through her midsection. This additional skin treatment ensured that her final results were smooth and toned. 

Life after AbEX 

“Sono Bello gave me my confidence back and made me feel 20 again,” she said.   

This youthful confidence has improved her overall quality of life and reduced her frustration since losing mobility in her back. Physically, Ornita said she feels comfortable and confident in her skin again. Mentally, she feels “much less stressed because I no longer daydream, wish, and pray that I could do some crunches because the stubborn fat is gone.” 

Ornita can’t wait to show off her new body this spring and summer. “I’m looking forward to traveling now and taking more bikini pictures,” she said. 

Her advice to anyone considering getting a Sono Bello procedure is to: “Do your research, ask a lot of questions during your consultation, and make sure that liposuction is something you really want to do for yourself.”  

As far as results go, she encourages others to be realistic and not compare themselves to others.  

“Trust the process and do not rush your healing,” she said. “Please wear your compression garment as long as possible. Protect your investment, eat healthy, and exercise.” 

If Ornita’s story inspired you to begin a Sono Bello transformation of your own, we invite you to schedule a free expert consultation as soon as you’re ready. It’s your life; live it beautifully.

Kelly boils her decision to visit Sono Bello down to one thing: Fate.

At 32-years-old, Kelly was at a pass. With a successful career as a nurse in full swing, she was excited about all the new opportunities and goals she was yet to accomplish. However, she didn’t see that same energetic woman when she looked in the mirror. Instead of enjoying this time of her life, she was constantly self-conscious, hiding behind black and baggy clothes that would hide her midsection. 

After a year of thinking about a change, researching ways to get fit, and spending far too many hours in the gym with no results, she decided to visit Sono Bello. Now, she documents her journey through social media in the hopes of staying accountable for her new body and the investment she made in bettering herself. 

“My new and improved body holds me accountable for maintaining a healthier, more active, and social lifestyle,” says Kelly. “As a nurse, health and wellness are important, and now I can be relatable for my patients and encourage them too.” 

Why Sono Bello?

With her background in health and wellness, Kelly approached the decision to get liposuction very methodically: Find a surgeon you admire and a team that checks all your boxes. Initially, she found a plastic surgeon in Houston that she admired, but she admits, “I was too afraid to go through with it.” A year later, she was ready to try again and found Sono Bello. 

First and foremost, she had to make sure Sono Bello was right for her:

Was this procedure safe? Yes. 

Was there less downtime? Yes. 

Was the team calming and supportive? Absolutely. 

Then, she needed to make sure she trusted her surgeon. As luck would have it, the same surgeon Kelly almost visited three years earlier walks through the door: Dr. Atun.

It was fate, and Kelly never questioned her decision again. 

About Her Procedure

Kelly got our TriSculpt procedure to remove the fat from her upper and lower abdomen, waist, hips, and back bra roll. Kelly’s BMI was on the higher end of Sono Bello’s range, but that didn’t stop her team from removing as much excess fat as possible, leaving her with a smooth midsection.

“You have to be realistic with your goals,” Kelly says. “This isn’t a weight-loss procedure. So I knew I would have to adapt to a healthier lifestyle, focus on post-op care, and prepare for long-term maintenance.” 

Life after Liposuction

One month after surgery, Kelly is excited to feel and look like she always wanted. She walked out of her surgery already two sizes smaller, and she noticed her body continuing to change each day. 

“I feel like I can be seen again,” Kelly says. “You get to watch your new body transform right before your eyes!” 

Using her nursing background, Kelly takes steps to continue her healing journey to maximize long-term results. For example, she wears her compression garments, eats healthier, and stays active even with a hectic schedule. 

Kelly started her own YouTube channel to document her journey. Since visiting Sono Bello, she knew she could be a catalyst for good. “I began posting my process on YouTube to help encourage others to take the leap in bettering their bodies,” she says. “It will also continue to hold me accountable throughout my journey.” 

Kelly’s best advice to those interested in liposuction? “Trust the process,” she says. “I feel like a queen now!”

Lucy, aka “Cutty Queen,” as she’s known on her social media channels, is a public health educator who always strived to inspire and help others. Whether through work or posting on her channels, she seeks to inspire others with her “walk the walk” attitude. 

That’s where her Sono Bello journey began. After all, how would she continue to feel confident telling others how to live healthy, happy lives when she was uncomfortable in her own body?

After getting her surgery in August, she’s a new woman: Ready to show off her curves and inspire those around her to stay fit, active, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. 

 Her Sono Bello Experience

Lucy’s main concern was her stomach and the excess fat and skin around her midsection. She chose to visit Sono Bello because she saw it as the safest option. In August, Lucy got TriSculpt on her upper and lower abdomen and waist. 

In the weeks after the surgery, she reminded herself to be patient as her swelling came and went. She maintained her healthy diet and drank plenty of water to combat the inflammation and now looks phenomenal. 

“You have to have patience,” Lucy says. “You will surely see results; just be patient with yourself.” 

Following the success and fantastic transformation after getting TriSculpt, Lucy continued to work out and eat healthily. After losing even more fat, she’s decided to return to her Sono Bello team for AbEX to remove excess skin due to her incredible weight loss journey.

Life After Lipo

The small things are exciting for Lucy: Slipping on a dress and feeling confident, swimming in a bikini, stepping into a room with self-assurance.

After getting TriSculpt, Lucy is excited every time she gets dressed. “I can wear anything without worrying about my belly fat or stomach showing,” she says. She notes how emotionally draining it can be to focus on your body and feel uncomfortable constantly, and now she’s leaving those emotions behind and stepping into a new era. 

Lucy’s Tips

There are three big lessons learned from her procedure with Sono Bello, and now Lucy is confident and ready to share them with the world.

Firstly, Lucy wants patients to educate themselves about the process. No, not the surgery process itself, but what comes after. She wants to show others what it’s like to overcome low self-esteem and give yourself the gift of confidence. Most importantly, she wants people struggling with their bodies to know there is always an option to get the body you want. You just have to take the first step. 

After successfully healing and maintaining her new healthy lifestyle, Lucy also wants others to be well-versed in the ins and outs of post-op life. So she spends her free time educating others about eating well, staying active, and ditching bad habits that might jeopardize their results.

Lastly, Lucy wants to encourage others to be patient. “Sometimes after surgery, people might think it wasn’t worth the hassle because they aren’t seeing results overnight,” she says. “It takes time, patience, and consistency, and you’ll surely see results.”

As a busy working mom, Nubia naturally found it difficult to maintain perfect physical shape. There are only so many hours in a day, and when most of those hours are spent either at the office or at home, it’s hard to set aside time for the gym.  

She still made an effort to live an active lifestyle and eat a healthy diet, but it was never quite enough to get her where she wanted to be. Her dream body was always just out of reach. Even when she managed to lose a few pounds here and there, they would always eventually come creeping back.  

Beginning her self-improvement journey 

Tired of seeing her weight fluctuate, Nubia started focusing even harder on her diet. And she experienced some success! At one point, she was able to drop more than ten pounds.  

However, she quickly realized that weight loss wasn’t the only barrier standing between her and her goals. She also struggled with problem areas where stubborn fat was especially tough to burn off.  

Whether this was due to her body type, metabolism, or some combination of genetic factors, no amount of dieting seemed to affect these regions. At this point, she realized that she could lose twenty pounds and those areas likely wouldn’t slim down.  

Stubborn fat is an unfortunate reality for many people and targeting individual areas of the body with diet and exercise is almost impossible.  

So, Nubia decided to seek professional help. 

Why Sono Bello?  

As she began researching treatments to remove her stubborn fat safely and effectively, she came up with a shortlist of requirements. First, the operation had to be minimally invasive. Given her busy schedule, she didn’t want to spend too much time recovering from surgery. Second, the provider had to be somewhat local. She didn’t want to have to fly somewhere or take a road trip to a faraway facility.  

Fortunately, Sono Bello met both of these requirements! Our liposuction procedures are performed by skilled surgeons using the industry’s latest technology. They remove fat with laser precision, which allows patients to recover quickly. The full healing process takes several weeks to complete, but many patients are able to return to work in a matter of days.  

We also have an office within miles of where Nubia lives in Houston, TX. So, she wouldn’t have to take a flight or a long drive anywhere.  

About the surgery 

Nubia had her upper abs, lower abs, waist, and hips operated on. She also had our AbEX procedure done to flatten and tone her abdomen. This tummy tuck alternative is a great option for patients who want to have fat and excess, sagging skin removed from their belly.  

Life after lipo 

Since having her surgery, Nubia feels significantly better about herself and more confident in her body. She never knew that she could look this good and says, “This procedure really was an eye-opener for me. I know that this is only the beginning of my journey, and my life has completely changed.” 

She looks forward to continuing her progress and can’t wait to wear a two-piece bathing suit this summer. For anyone considering having liposuction, Nubia’s advice is, “Do it! Invest in yourself. The results are real, and the procedure is easier to get done than you’d think.” 

If Nubia’s story inspired you to begin a Sono Bello transformation of your own, we encourage you to schedule a free consultation at your earliest convenience. It’s your life; live it beautifully.

One of the most common questions prospective patients have regarding liposuction surgery is: Do the results last? 

The short answer is yes. The slightly longer (and better) answer is: “The results are real, and the results last,” says patient ambassador, B’Ann. 

Liposuction is permanent. The fat cells that our surgeons remove during the operation are never coming back. That said, the fat cells that aren’t removed and remain in your body can inflate and deflate based on things like diet, exercise, and metabolism. So, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after your surgery.  

B’Ann is a perfect example of this. After her Sono Bello transformation, she remained committed to fitness and nutrition and now lives a happy life with the body she’s always wanted. All the surgery did was help her overcome the obstacles between her and sustainable success.  

Continuing Her Self-Improvement Journey 

The confidence and motivation that B’Ann gained from her Sono Bello operation have totally changed her lifestyle. She feels inspired to maintain and improve her body now that she isn’t fighting an uphill battle against stubborn problem areas. She eats clean, runs often, and takes pride in her appearance. She’s made impressive progress and says, “I will never go back.”  

The body that she had before Sono Bello is gone forever. Today, B’Ann’s only focus is on staying in shape rather than getting in shape and preserving her body weight. This is a much less stressful place to be, and we’re happy we were able to help her get there.  

A Physical and Mental Transformation 

When B’Ann went in for her initial consultation and subsequent surgeries at Sono Bello six years ago, her main goal, naturally, was to improve her body. She had been in peak athletic shape for most of her life, but stubborn fat became harder and harder to burn off after becoming a mom.  

She was unhappy with her weight and said, “I felt like a stranger in my own body.” After trying to eliminate these problem areas on her own for nearly ten years, she finally enlisted our professional help to remove the fat once and for all.  

Today, with the added perspective of six years, B’Ann realizes that there was one major factor that she didn’t fully consider the first time around: The way that Sono Bello would change her mindset.  

She was so focused on how liposuction would improve her physique; she didn’t fully appreciate how it would benefit her mentally. She says, “This procedure doesn’t just change your body, it changes your mind. It changes your life. I am proud of the way I look and happy when I look in a mirror.” 

This change in her attitude and outlook on life has inspired her to work out and diet, which improves her mindset even more. It’s a feedback loop that continues to reward B’Ann with health, happiness, and a positive body image. 

About the Surgery 

The specific areas that B’Ann had fat removed from were: 

1. Upper and lower abs  
2. Inner, outer, and posterior thighs 
3. Bra roll 
4. Lower back 

These procedures were done in two separate sessions, each focusing on a different body region. Her recovery process post-op went very smoothly; B’Ann says, “I had the surgery on a Saturday and was back to work on Monday!” 

Life After Lipo 

Patients who experience the most long-lasting success after surgery are those who realize that there’s no finish line when it comes to self-improvement. It’s a lifelong journey with lots of ups and downs. There is no best body, only a better body.  

B’Ann is a perfect example of this mindset. Since having her stubborn fat removed, her journey has been a non-stop string of victories thanks to her “I’m never going back” mantra. This fuels her to approach each day as an opportunity to achieve greater health and happiness than the day before.  

We’re immensely proud of the progress she’s made, and we can’t wait to see where she is in another six years!
