Dont do it! Its liposuction. The fat will come back in places you dont expect. Wish I never did it!

I elected for the AbEx and liposuction procedures in May 2023. Its been almost a year, and I still cant get over how this company of slimy salespeople scammed me and took away my right to consent to what happens to my body under sedation. I cant let them do this to other people. I did my homework and research and decided against a tummy tuck because of the 12-week recovery period and hip-to-hip scar one is left with post-op. I did not want either of those and was very vocal and straightforward about it in my consultation appointment. When I asked in my consultation about the scar, I was told it would leave me with no additional scar, they would just go in through my C-section scar. They did go in through my C-section scar, but they made it 3 times the size and it is a jagged incision. Im left with a horrible, jagged hip-to-hip scar I did not consent to. Per charts in manuals they provide to their patients for the AbEx procedure the restriction on activity is don't lift over 15 pounds for two weeks, then can resume normal activity. No swimming or immersed in water activities for one month. There are also posted comfort levels and days off work charts very far from what I experienced, and I have a BMI 0f 26-27 (the charts provided are based on having a BMI over and under 30) and I have experienced a few surgeries, including this was my 4th abdominal surgery. I was unable to resume normal activity for at least 3 months and my scar wasnt healed enough to be in water for at least 2.5 months. I also was very vocal concerning summer activities, events, pool and beach parties I had planned in my consultation and was reassured not to worry, I will not have any problem with those activities in the time frame I discussed, I was told I would be recovered in 3 weeks 4 tops. I had to cancel many activities, inconveniencing not only me but my family and my two- and four-year-old daughters. I had no choice once I awoke from my procedure. I had a hip-to-hip scar I was told I wouldnt have and had to endure a long recovery process which I was told wouldnt be. This company took away my right to consent to what happens to my body during a medical procedure under sedation. They took my time and my families time and left me with an incredibly large scar and weird dents in my legs where I had liposuction, still present almost a year later. If I wanted a 12-week recovery period and hip-to-hip scar I would have elected to have a tummy tuck done and had my diastasis recti repaired, but I didnt want these things, they happened to me while I was asleep. I cant let this company do this to other people. The slimy salespeople at this company will lie to you when you voice to them your medical concerns. They will take away your right to consent too. Why? They just had to make the sale?

Im 4 days post my surgery and I can already see the results. I couldnt be more happier with my choice to do it at Sonobello. The whole experience was amazing. The staff at Sonobello did a great job with walking me through step by step and Dr. Dao is just as great words cant express how much Im Thankful.I love the fact that she was honest and straightforward with me since the beginning. I knew I was at the right place when she told me she was a perfectionist. Dont think twice about coming here, youll be in good hands.
