One area of my body that always bothered me, even before having kids, was a little belly pooch that I couldn't seem to get rid of no matter how much I dieted or exercised. I went to Sono Bello to discuss my options. I wasn't sure I wanted to do anything that 'drastic' and was apprehensive about spending a lot of money. Chandra walked me through the process in her office during a consultation. She looked at my body, listened to my story and gave me a solution. I was surprised that 1) the fat would be gone, 2) there was only local and IM pain medication, no general anesthesia and 3) minimal recovery time. It wasn't a fat-cell-shrinking procedure, or muscle toning procedure etc. Seventy percent of the fat in my belly area would no longer be there. I booked it that day. They provided thorough information about what to do a few days prior to the procedure, the day of the procedure and what to expect after the procedure. The day of the procedure I had an oral percocet, a shot of demerol and local anesthetic. The nurse and doctor were very professional and talked to me through the entire thing! Before I knew it, it was finished and I was on my home. I slept most of that day and actually felt good enough to go into work the next day. I didn't use any of the prescription pain medication; just some tylenol and later some motrin. I received follow up phone calls from the doctor and nurse the following day and returned the next week for an office visit. Each day the swelling is a little better and the results are showing! LOVE it.
