So I had lipo and AbEx done yesterday. Today I saw what’s becoming my new body and I have zero regrets! The pain is manageable. I sang and hummed my way through the entire procedure. If you’re contemplating it, just do it!
Had my procedure yesterday and despite the severe discomfort I experienced, it was manageable, and today I am feeling sore but decent. Looking in the mirror I am in tears with joy at the transformation. It was absolutely worth the anxiety leading up to the appointment and the discomfort during, in 3 weeks, im sure I won't even think about it
Hi. I’m considering the Abex procedure. One of my biggest concerns is the scar. At my consultation, the lady explained to me that it will be much thinner than a traditional tummy tuck scar. Same length, hip to hip, but a thinner line. Is that true? How well did your scar heal?
I'm getting ready to have this procedure done in April. I'm a little anxious and nervous, but at the same time, I'm excited because I feel like this will help me gain my confidence back.
I just did mine a week ago and believe me... I was so scared.. even my blood pressure went up . But the Doctor and the nurses were so nice taht I felt better a soon is I get in the operating room
@@felizsoy8290 do they actually cut skin off or use a lazor tightening device? I did smart lipo in Sept. They told me it would make my skin tight. I now want a tummy tuck. Is this better?
I had U/L, W/H/Pelvic areas and Ab/EX. I have 2 wonderful children and my body still reflected that even after many years of working to recover my healthy body. I am 3 weeks PO. I was very nervous to have the procedure, but my desire to live a healthier life and feel good in my body outweighed my concerns. I am very pleased even now with my results. I can workout and practice yoga with more ease and I just feel like I am back. The support was excellent and I have the confidence already to continue my health journey. No Regrets!

I'm on day 4 of recovery. I had liposuction on my stomach and hips plus the ABEX. I'm still pretty swollen but can still see the results. I can't wait until all the swelling goes down so I can really see how I look but so far I love my results. I'm in some pain and I definitely have to take it easy but it's not that bad. I definitely recommend Sono bello.
Dr Chung the way you describe the procedure with such confidence and transparency was so effective, that I just booked an appointment for a consult! Thank you for sharing the video ❤️
I’m scheduled for my ABEX in July! If I could get in sooner I would. But it’s right around the corner! I can’t wait 😝!!!! ***Edit-just found out I’m scheduled for 2 weeks!!!!!!****
I'm 2 weeks post surgery had my upper lower abdomen done and hips and of course Abex . Love my results so far.. recovery for me was a little ruff but Finley able to get my walking in and daily task...You definitely want help at home if you have small children at home... well worth it and,good luck..
Congrats on your journey beginning! Yes, we do recommend having some help with heavy chores or small children for the first couple of days, but compared to a traditional tummy tuck we're happy that our patients have a MUCH shorter recovery time :)
Hi David - We're happy to answer any questions you might have! It's normal to be nervous but we want to make sure your journey is smooth and seamless. Yes, there is 5-7 days of "recovery" time after AbEX but compared to a traditional tummy tuck we're happy that our patients have a MUCH shorter and easier recovery
I plan to save for this procedure my only concern is how many times I’ve heard people say the anesthesia has worn off during the surgery causing them severe pain and going through that kind of pain while the surgery is still being performed that’s why I have an issue
Our medical team will discuss your procedure and how they will manage the local anesthesia - plus since you are awake during the process you are able to talk to your doctor about any pain throughout. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
I suggest you speak with doctors. Don’t be afraid but don’t expect this is a walk in the park … but you will be beautiful afterwards… speaking from experience…
I’m planning on 12/22 for my procedure. I workout 5- 6 days a week - I do mess up in the kitchen but family life has not allowed me to lose this fat for over 10 years. I’m done!
I’ve had lipo with “minimal sedation” and it was excruciating!!!! I will never do that again… Them I tried telling them it hurt and they ignored me and kept going and I was to groggy to make them stop.. I will not get lipo unless I’m completely asleep you lost me at the anesthesia part… sheesh…
I've heard alot of bad things about sono bello. Even the commercials look corny and kinda low budget. That's a red flag. They making the commercials look a little better but I don't buy it.
Yes thank you for this. I had my trip/abex on Thurs...I fell asleep and was very much groggy. First day after I was pretty sore, day 2 a bit better. I'm glad tomorrow is 48 hrs and im excited to see. Hoping the pain will be less as I hv to go bk to work on Monday. Thank you Dr Chung your video gave me comfort I'll be ok.
What was your downtime/recovery of returning back to work? I know they say the abEX is minimal downtime than the actual tummy tuck but what was yours?@@jewlz8538
The abEX is not explained thoroughly. You don't explain how skin removal is obtained without surgery. That is what I've been searching for and there is no answer
From what I've read and listened to on videos, AbEX is surgical. Just the lipo is the one day advertisment. If you add AbEX, they do cut and remove the skin and your downtime will be much longer, not as long as a traditional tummy tuck though.
OOoh I wish I could get this! I can't get finance due to divorce & domestic violence.. I had to completely start over from nothing... I just cant afford it or get financed for anything. I even met with Victoria at Sono Bella, Addison...I need a miracle...this is the one thing I wish would go right in my life.

My BMI is 30. I am an EXTREME Apple shape with very thin arms and legs, small butt, narrow hips and from breasts to just below my belly button quite large. I lost 110 pounds over 3 years a few years back and weighed 125. Other than an enormous amount of loose skin on my lower back and a huge apron in the front, I looked decent in clothes (size 2 jeans and size 10 for dresses/tops). Since Covid I gained 45 pounds and I’ve tried the diet I did before, tried Keto, tried Intermittent Fasting, tried Alternate Day fasting and I cannot lose the weight I regained no matter what. I am T2 diabetic (genetic) and have metabolic syndrome. I just turned 65. I like the way my arms and legs look now better than when I was at my smallest (I had extreme thigh gap) but my torso depresses me and makes everything but Muu Muus look terrible. Would I be a decent candidate for this?
FIRST OF ALL CONGRATS on the big weight loss accomplishment and maintaining a lifestyle around that - it's no small feat! And for your question - yes You sound like an ideal candidate, your BMI is well within our range and if you're looking for a specific body contour to match the other areas you love then you should definitely (at least) visit us for a free consultation and see what our team would recommend to reach your goal. You sound like so many women we talk to daily, I hope we can help give you the confidence you've worked so hard for! Here's a link that you can use to book: bit.ly/SonoBelloUA-cam
I've been wanting to get work done with you guys, but the cost is is pushing me to look abroad, especially since you guys don't do fat transfer to the face or tush. I will say though, those TT scars look amazing!

You guys don’t really have people my age coming in so I was never able to see my body size the consultant I talked to name Laura examined my boy and said that I would need the up and down lower abdomen my said is already small
@@divasargent215 I don’t know what your age is, but I’m almost 52 and just had mine in March. I saw one UA-camr who had it done at almost 60. Consider the status of your health more so than your age. And consult with your primary care physician- I had to get approval from mine.
Thank you very much for the presentation. However, with respect, you only mentioned skin and fat. You did not address muscle laxity or weakness which was obvious in some of the patients.
This is our Chief Medical Officer, he cannot be booked, sorry! We do have plenty of surgeons you could browse through and see who you like on our website :)
I had a consultation a couple of months ago at Sono Bello and I weighed 135lbs, and I was advised to have lipo and skin removal, but know I have lost most of the abdominal fat I weigh 125lbs 5'4, and would like to know if I can get just the skin removal??
I'm 26 220 with pcos belly fat, so my stomach fat is protruding compared to the rest of my body. Is it safe to get this ? Also could you do like shoulder fat ?
PCOS is a frequent issue our patients have! It makes losing weight IMPOSSIBLE - luckily TriSculpt and AbEX are very safe and actually offer less down time than traditional tummy tucks and lipo! We don't do shoulders but we do upper arms and upper back so we could definitely smooth that area out! Here's a link if you want to book a free consultation, we can give you a quote and make sure you're a good candidate before you commit to anything: bit.ly/SBFreeConsultation
How much does Abex cost per area and is the lipo priced in with the Abex procedure or you pay for it separately? I've had lipo done at sonobello a few years ago and loved my results but I've had 2 babies since then so I have some stretching around my belly button.
AbEX pricing ranges depending on what areas you want liposuction on - the best way to know is to give us a call or schedule a consultation: bit.ly/SBFreeConsultation
G-luck girl. adios. I am going to S Bello. (because i also work with older woman, so i am seeing how well it came out for her.)Neva seen her so happy like she is for past 8 months. stomach flat, look so lovely." G-luck again, Natalie. Adios.
For the skin excision ranges between $3500-$4500 and then our cost per treatment area for liposuction fat removal ranges from $1400 up to $2800 depending on number of treated areas and patient BMI. We tailor our procedures to your unique body and goals, so the best way to get an accurate price quote is to call and schedule a free consultation. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please text / call us at 1-888-584-8918.
Yes we are now handling both upper and lower abs - previously TriSculpt EX only handled lower ab skin removal. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
omg. way diff. yep.adios. can't wait. my co-worker flat stomach, is totally owed to S Bello. I can't wait, til mine, by my birthday so i am there between 08/13- 08/15 yep. adios.
Kcmo here I had mines done 8/17/22 am I happy? Kind of I think u should research the doctor first. I'm still swollen and healing asymmetric. I am being told wait 6 months before they determine if the redo; but I am hopeful ☺️
Did I miss where you are located? Dobt guess you are in Texas are you? Is there a age limit ? I'm 72 & fairly good health, would I qualify? Soon as I win the lottery, I'm Running to you if I do qualify!!
No age limit and we are located in multiple parts of texas! The best way to know if you qualify is to have a free consultation and they can give you the qualifications and give you a quote so you know what to expect :) Here's a link if you choose to get a free consultation + $250 off: bit.ly/SBFreeConsultation
hey so I called regarding tummy tuck alternatives & was told to make a consultation told them I was plus sizes but they said make the consultation anyway. So I was given a link to fill out a questionnaire and it turns out Sonobello doesn't see plus size clients bc it wouldn't let me schedule the consultation. I carry my weight in my stomach, mostly lower abdomen area. I just figured I'd let you know so if you don't waste your time and get your feelings hurt. I'm going out of the country for my procedures now!
We can treat up to a BMI of 42, we do not focus our treatments on whether you are "plus size" or not, but instead we focus on body mass index for patient safety.
@@SonoBello that's what I had thought too. It was an automated message that told me my BMI was too high and that you couldn't help me but to check back in the future. Maybe I will try again.
@@SonoBello So what if you have these procedures and later put on weight. Where does that fat go? I've heard once fat is removed is will/can come back in weird places.
@@JuJuDon2412 You can gain weight post-op, usually it will come back slower in the areas you had your procedure on since there are less fat cells in those areas now. Our procedures are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle but instead can make keeping your desired body easier since the stubborn fat is gone.
The maximum amount of fat we can take out (legally) varies by state so sometimes we need to do the surgeries in stages so you can get the result you want and not settle for what can be done at one time :)
Did your surgeon not do your stomach (abdominals) while you got AbEX? Or would you like to do them again? If you want to do it again we generally wait till you 6 month post-op but if this is a new area please reach out!
@@SonoBello oh wow I didn't know that? I don't think the surgeon did mi abdominales😁 I will check this with him again. How this procedure normally cost? Thank you for answer mi quiestion.
Our AbEX skin removal is less invasive and requires less down time than a traditional tummy tuck. Without general anesthesia and muscle repair, patients heal faster and are back to regular activity in a week or two.
Yes absolutely - we typically recommend waiting 6 months but totally a possibility. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.v
TriSculpt focuses on fat removal ONLY using smart laser liposuction technology, AbEX removes both FAT and excess SKIN so you can remove the maximum amount of fat from your stomach without worrying about extra, sagging skin :)
Yes we have a location in Oak Brook - If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
No this is just for stomach area - If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
@@Aryat1979 I did the Abex when I did my upper and lower abdomen abs and waist done at once. I'm so flat that I couldn't believe 3 kids came out of me. My surgeon advised to get it done at once got best results. Glad I did cos I've seen videos of those that didn't do the ABEX and later had to go do it for best results especially if one once had a fupa hanging there lol. 😅
@@SonoBello people are asking how the skin is removed without surgery. Can you answer that here? or Is that something we need to have a consult to answer?
@@Indicadores-de-problemas AbEX is a combination of liposuction and surgical procedure to remove the excess skin so we do make incisions to remove the skin, but our technique utilizes local anesthesia so you are awake throughout the whole procedure. If you have additional questions please call / text us at 1-888-584-8918
@@princessrosecoleman8398 We can not "fill" hip dips but we can minimize them. The cost for lipo360 would still be within that pricing range, it is considered 3 areas usually: Upper and lower abdomen and waist. Feel free to use our link to chat with a consultant and book a free consultation where they can give you a firm price :)
It was safe for me and my results in 2 weeks was excellent. My tummy is so flat that I couldn't believe I'm d same person that once had a fupa hanging over me. Best decision I made for myself. Pricey but worth it.
@@facialsmoremedspaownercher640The price depends on your BMI. My weight 215 fell into the obese so a little high and I did the Abex (skin removal) ,extra price and I had 6 areas done. I paid more than most people but I'm not complaining cos I love my results. In 3 weeks postop, I'm now about 200 pounds. I know I'm still gonna lose more weight cos I watch what I eat and do more walking, massages, low impact exercise for now. I can't stop taking pictures of my body, that's how much pleased I am with my surgeon. Best decision ever cos no amount of exercise would have achieved this goals for me (ohhhh I've tried personal trainers and diet b4, never work). No regrets on the pricey fees cos I'm happy at the end. Friends are full of wonderment. Oh price for mine was above 10G. Don't let that discouraged you cos everyone's prices differs per BMI, Abex, and how many areas you want to do.

I had my lower stomach & inner thighs done & had bumps after healing, as well. I also had my arms done which I am happy with. I massaged areas like instructed & had lymphatic drainage massage. On my post op appts Sonobello assistant said they wanted me to be 100% satisfied. She said I would be able to discuss Venus treatment for bumps with the doctor. I asked what it would cost & was told nothing. When my following appt came (3 months later) assistant said I had to be at the same weight as the day I went in for my TriSculpt procedure before the doctor could do anything. I was a few lbs. over. I inquired on Venus treatment & was given a brochure & so I made appt with Venus rep to help smooth out my bumps. In the end it cost me $13K for Sonobello & $3K for Venus. Not exactly what I was expecting.
You know, I was thinking the same thing. I’ve had several surgeries, and the only two I was awake for were my c-sections. As fascinated as I am with medical procedures, I have no interest in seeing my own - not live anyway. But it really wasn’t as bad as you’d imagine it to be. I was awake, but I didn’t see anything and I honestly don’t recall very much except that there was music playing.

I like the way my arms and legs look now better than when I was at my smallest (I had extreme thigh gap) but my torso depresses me and makes everything but Muu Muus look terrible. Would I be a decent candidate for this?
FIRST OF ALL CONGRATS on the big weight loss accomplishment and maintaining a lifestyle around that - it's no small feat!

You sound like so many women we talk to daily, I hope we can help give you the confidence you've worked so hard for! Here's a link that you can use to book: bit.ly/SonoBelloUA-cam
I’m working towards getting mine I can’t wait
How much is this?
I've been wanting to get work done with you guys, but the cost is is pushing me to look abroad, especially since you guys don't do fat transfer to the face or tush. I will say though, those TT scars look amazing!
I got this done 1week ago
Hi. I’m considering the Abex procedure. One of my biggest concerns is the scar. At my consultation, the lady explained to me that it will be much thinner than a traditional tummy tuck scar. Same length, hip to hip, but a thinner line. Is that true? How well did your scar
heal?
I really want to do lips and Abex . I get second thoughts sometimes if there is any side effects?
I get mine June I’m so excited I’m just hoping it really works 😫
yess girl you got this!!!!!
You guys don’t really have people my age coming in so I was never able to see my body size the consultant I talked to name Laura examined my boy and said that I would need the up and down lower abdomen my said is already small
@@divasargent215 I don’t know what your age is, but I’m almost 52 and just had mine in March. I saw one UA-camr who had it done at almost 60. Consider the status of your health more so than your age. And consult with your primary care physician- I had to get approval from mine.
June sisters!! Me too I’m getting rid of these back rolls and fat arms. My waistline is nice all my fat goes to my back. I can’t wait until June 15th.
@@jacquelinmiller8655 I’m 23 btw I had too kids
Thank you very much for the presentation. However, with respect, you only mentioned skin and fat. You did not address muscle laxity or weakness which was obvious in some of the patients.
I have my appointment 5/21/22 abex, lower abdomen ,upper abdomen,waist,hips I can’t wait to see my body change 😂
Congrats! Cant wait to see your transformation!
I’m having all that on Wednesday.
@@christyortiz752 Let us know how it goes!
@@SonoBello I had a fantastic experience!! No regrets!!
@@christyortiz752 Thank you Christy! So glad to hear you're loving your journey :)
Can they still perform the surgery if im at 32-33 bmi? I have read about plus size lipo. Or would a tummy tuck be better?
Where is this doctor located if I had this done I would want him to do it.
This is our Chief Medical Officer, he cannot be booked, sorry! We do have plenty of surgeons you could browse through and see who you like on our website :)
Yikes. I thought he said my patients
I had a consultation a couple of months ago at Sono Bello and I weighed 135lbs, and I was advised to have lipo and skin removal, but know I have lost most of the abdominal fat I weigh 125lbs 5'4, and would like to know if I can get just the skin removal??
You definitely can, but we usually suggest getting the remaining fat removed for the best result :)
How much is this procedure
I found out it goes according to your BMI .... I hope this helps
AbEX is a combo procedure right? meaning I would not be charged for upper or lower abdominal fat removal
Getting my procedure done march 1st im doing sona bella trisculpt same thing just not the skin tighner
Wooow, quedó bien
Question : if I had one procedure on 2020 on my stomach could I have another one now?
cost?
I'm 26 220 with pcos belly fat, so my stomach fat is protruding compared to the rest of my body. Is it safe to get this ? Also could you do like shoulder fat ?
Great question
Your BMI has to be under 42.
PCOS is a frequent issue our patients have! It makes losing weight IMPOSSIBLE - luckily TriSculpt and AbEX are very safe and actually offer less down time than traditional tummy tucks and lipo! We don't do shoulders but we do upper arms and upper back so we could definitely smooth that area out!
Here's a link if you want to book a free consultation, we can give you a quote and make sure you're a good candidate before you commit to anything: bit.ly/SBFreeConsultation
@@marthaindiana my BMI is under 42 and I still got turned down for too high of BMI so IDK.
@@liz090833 I did it with a 40 bmi. Having open wounds now so it is better to lose weight. Healing has not been easy 2 mpo now
When you get the abex and lipo are you supposed to get lymphatic massages or not?
We do recommend them to ease and speed up healing but they are not required!
I’m getting mines a week after my surgery, so I’m hoping that it will. My cousin went after hers and she says it was such a relief for her.
I am 2 weeks post op , when do The surgical tape come off
How much does Abex cost per area and is the lipo priced in with the Abex procedure or you pay for it separately? I've had lipo done at sonobello a few years ago and loved my results but I've had 2 babies since then so I have some stretching around my belly button.
AbEX pricing ranges depending on what areas you want liposuction on - the best way to know is to give us a call or schedule a consultation: bit.ly/SBFreeConsultation
Where do you live? I do mine and I paid 12,000 for lipo and AbEX. I love ❤️ Sonobello I hope to see the final results in 5 months more.
@@candywachter1781 wow not a bad price. I'm hoping it's a similar price in Southern California since everything is more expensive here lol
@@MrTmenzo o wow I hope not too,let me nkow later how much they charge you.
Good luck🙏🙏🙏
@@candywachter1781what areas did you get done and what was your bmi
Can you get muscle repair with this procedure?
No, unlike original tummy tucks we do not touch the muscle because we want our patients to have less down time and fewer risks :)
G-luck girl.
adios. I am going to S Bello. (because i also work with older woman, so i am seeing how well it came out for her.)Neva seen her so happy like she is for past 8 months. stomach flat, look so lovely." G-luck again, Natalie. Adios.
@@SonoBellohow does this work with someone who has diastasis recti? (Ab separation)
Can a person receive Abex if they had a c-section
OMG, so you are awake during the process? I have anxiety and trouble seeing blood.
Yes, our patients are awake but comfortable
What is average cost on something like this?
For the skin excision ranges between $3500-$4500 and then our cost per treatment area for liposuction fat removal ranges from $1400 up to $2800 depending on number of treated areas and patient BMI. We tailor our procedures to your unique body and goals, so the best way to get an accurate price quote is to call and schedule a free consultation.

Hi! Would this be recommended for someone who has had gastric bypass surgery and has lost 145lbs?
Definitely! All that excess skin is annoying and that's exactly the type of thing we help with!
Is this different from TriScuplt EX?
Yes we are now handling both upper and lower abs - previously TriSculpt EX only handled lower ab skin removal. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
omg. way diff. yep.adios. can't wait. my co-worker flat stomach, is totally owed to S Bello.
I can't wait, til mine, by my birthday so i am there between 08/13- 08/15 yep. adios.
I pray for God to provide Mony for me to do mine, cuz after giving birth am not too happy with my Tommy at all and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Abex is combination or tummy tuck and lipo right? Do you have BMI requirements?
We are a less invasive version of a tummy tuck, plus lipo with a shorter healing time! We can treat up to a BMI of 42 :)
Where are you located
We have more than 70 locations across the US, you can use our website to find one close to you :)
Does Sonobello accept cash payments over time? Care credit won’t approve me unfortunately. 😞
No, unfortunately we cannot do a payment structure with cash.
I had a tummytuck but have a little muffins top can I just get a smar liposuction upper abdomen no cut
Is this available for men?
Of course! AbEX does not discriminate :)
Kcmo here I had mines done 8/17/22 am I happy? Kind of I think u should research the doctor first. I'm still swollen and healing asymmetric. I am being told wait 6 months before they determine if the redo; but I am hopeful ☺️
It's been 4 months how are feeling?
Did I miss where you are located? Dobt guess you are in Texas are you? Is there a age limit ? I'm 72 & fairly good health, would I qualify? Soon as I win the lottery, I'm Running to you if I do qualify!!
No age limit and we are located in multiple parts of texas!

Do all Sonobello offices offer AbEX?
YES! If there is an office near you, they offer AbEX :)
Yes I just had my upper lower and ab ex done 8/17/22
What’s the price for Abex???
hey so I called regarding tummy tuck alternatives & was told to make a consultation told them I was plus sizes but they said make the consultation anyway. So I was given a link to fill out a questionnaire and it turns out Sonobello doesn't see plus size clients bc it wouldn't let me schedule the consultation. I carry my weight in my stomach, mostly lower abdomen area. I just figured I'd let you know so if you don't waste your time and get your feelings hurt. I'm going out of the country for my procedures now!
We can treat up to a BMI of 42, we do not focus our treatments on whether you are "plus size" or not, but instead we focus on body mass index for patient safety.
@@SonoBello that's what I had thought too. It was an automated message that told me my BMI was too high and that you couldn't help me but to check back in the future. Maybe I will try again.
@@liz090833where did you go and how much was it
How is it non invasive if I clearly see metal being shoved in and out of the region of surgery
It's minimally invasive and less invasive than a traditional tummy tuck
@@SonoBello I have a consultation appointment on Tuesday I think. My best friend did it when it was new
What happens in this instance when pt needs muscle repair as well? Does AbEx benefit the pt?
Muscle repair is not a part of AbEX, we find that most patients don't need it! But if you do need it, AbEX would not be the surgery for you.
@@SonoBello So what if you have these procedures and later put on weight. Where does that fat go? I've heard once fat is removed is will/can come back in weird places.
@@JuJuDon2412 You can gain weight post-op, usually it will come back slower in the areas you had your procedure on since there are less fat cells in those areas now. Our procedures are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle but instead can make keeping your desired body easier since the stubborn fat is gone.
Why did they do 2 surgery’s was it more affordable that way ?
The maximum amount of fat we can take out (legally) varies by state so sometimes we need to do the surgeries in stages so you can get the result you want and not settle for what can be done at one time :)
Thank you!!!!!
Hi Doctor I did mi Lipo and AbEX en September 27. Mi question is after 3 months can I do abdominales?
Did your surgeon not do your stomach (abdominals) while you got AbEX? Or would you like to do them again? If you want to do it again we generally wait till you 6 month post-op but if this is a new area please reach out!
@@SonoBello oh wow I didn't know that? I don't think the surgeon did mi abdominales😁 I will check this with him again.
How this procedure normally cost?
Thank you for answer mi quiestion.
Oh I need to win the lottery then sign me up
Has anyone gotten insurance to successfully cover this?
So you are 'awake' when they cut the skin off?
Is this available in uk?
Unfortunately we are only located in the U.S.
Sounds like lipo and tummy tuck and the price seems similar as well. Not sure what the difference is.
Our AbEX skin removal is less invasive and requires less down time than a traditional tummy tuck. Without general anesthesia and muscle repair, patients heal faster and are back to regular activity in a week or two.
If I've had tri sculpt can I still get this procedure?
Yes absolutely - we typically recommend waiting 6 months but totally a possibility. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.v
@@SonoBello Whats the difference between TriSculpt & AbEx??
TriSculpt focuses on fat removal ONLY using smart laser liposuction technology, AbEX removes both FAT and excess SKIN so you can remove the maximum amount of fat from your stomach without worrying about extra, sagging skin :)
Is the fat removed through local anesthesia? Or for that part you are put in general anesthesia?
Is this available in Australia or Indonesia?
Sorry, we're only in the US right now!
A similar versión available in Italy lol so check around
Is this in Chicago?
Yes we have a location in Oak Brook - If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
Does Abex be done for an upper inner thigh area? Results look amazing!
No this is just for stomach area - If you are interested in learning more or scheduling a free consultation please give us a call / text at 1-888-584-8918.
I just had my upper inner thighs done 2 days ago and I must say the my skin looks much better, smother, and slimmer.
@@TV-zl1et that’s awesome! 👏🏻 did you do Abex? Or something else?
@@SonoBello got it! We’ll do. Thank you!
@@Aryat1979 I did the Abex when I did my upper and lower abdomen abs and waist done at once. I'm so flat that I couldn't believe 3 kids came out of me. My surgeon advised to get it done at once got best results. Glad I did cos I've seen videos of those that didn't do the ABEX and later had to go do it for best results especially if one once had a fupa hanging there lol. 😅
How much does this cost?
AbEX begins at $5,000-6,000 depending on other areas of treatment, BMI and amount of skin removed.
@@SonoBello people are asking how the skin is removed without surgery. Can you answer that here? or Is that something we need to have a consult to answer?
@@Indicadores-de-problemas AbEX is a combination of liposuction and surgical procedure to remove the excess skin so we do make incisions to remove the skin, but our technique utilizes local anesthesia so you are awake throughout the whole procedure. If you have additional questions please call / text us at 1-888-584-8918
Does bmi matter with this surgery
They say they do it with bmi up to 42.
True! We can treat up to a 42 BMI
What’s the maximum amount of fat you can remove?
It differs from state to state but usually about 5 liters
Do you need to lose weight to be considered?
We work with up to 42 BMI, so if your BMI is within our range then you do not need to lose weight beforehand.
@@SonoBello Thanks
My BMI is 30.3 and they told me i was not a good candidate for their service and refer me to a surgeon to get a tummy tuck/ lipo😢
He needs Abex.
I would love to get a liposuction done what's cost
$1400-3000 per area depending on your beginning BMI and the areas you want done :)
@@SonoBello i would need lopo 360
What's the cost to do the liposuction 360 and fill my hip dip
@@princessrosecoleman8398 We can not "fill" hip dips but we can minimize them. The cost for lipo360 would still be within that pricing range, it is considered 3 areas usually: Upper and lower abdomen and waist. Feel free to use our link to chat with a consultant and book a free consultation where they can give you a firm price :)
Just because clients are awake doesn’t make the surgery less dangerous so don’t push that.
It lessens recovery time for most and not going "under" is safer for most patients with a high BMI.
It was safe for me and my results in 2 weeks was excellent. My tummy is so flat that I couldn't believe I'm d same person that once had a fupa hanging over me. Best decision I made for myself. Pricey but worth it.
@@paris-tcib3583 I just had my thighs, inner knees, and bra rolls done yesterday 3/7/22. Can't wait to see the results. Thanks for you comment.
@@TV-zl1et how pricey?
@@facialsmoremedspaownercher640The price depends on your BMI. My weight 215 fell into the obese so a little high and I did the Abex (skin removal) ,extra price and I had 6 areas done. I paid more than most people but I'm not complaining cos I love my results. In 3 weeks postop, I'm now about 200 pounds. I know I'm still gonna lose more weight cos I watch what I eat and do more walking, massages, low impact exercise for now. I can't stop taking pictures of my body, that's how much pleased I am with my surgeon. Best decision ever cos no amount of exercise would have achieved this goals for me (ohhhh I've tried personal trainers and diet b4, never work). No regrets on the pricey fees cos I'm happy at the end. Friends are full of wonderment. Oh price for mine was above 10G. Don't let that discouraged you cos everyone's prices differs per BMI, Abex, and how many areas you want to do.

I had my lower stomach & inner thighs done & had bumps after healing, as well. I also had my arms done which I am happy with. I massaged areas like instructed & had lymphatic drainage massage. On my post op appts Sonobello assistant said they wanted me to be 100% satisfied. She said I would be able to discuss Venus treatment for bumps with the doctor. I asked what it would cost & was told nothing. When my following appt came (3 months later) assistant said I had to be at the same weight as the day I went in for my TriSculpt procedure before the doctor could do anything. I was a few lbs. over. I inquired on Venus treatment & was given a brochure & so I made appt with Venus rep to help smooth out my bumps. In the end it cost me $13K for Sonobello & $3K for Venus. Not exactly what I was expecting.

Awake during any surgery 🤬
I don’t want to see or hear what your doing to me😱💩🤦🏾♀️🤬🤬😵💫😵💫
You know, I was thinking the same thing. I’ve had several surgeries, and the only two I was awake for were my c-sections. As fascinated as I am with medical procedures, I have no interest in seeing my own - not live anyway. But it really wasn’t as bad as you’d imagine it to be. I was awake, but I didn’t see anything and I honestly don’t recall very much except that there was music playing.
Who wants to be awake s
Not going "under" saves the body a lot of stress, so many patients prefer it because their recovery time is cut in half
