Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery

I had Lipo done on my Abs, love handles and flanks. I am very unhappy with the results as well as with the follow up by Sono Bello. I have expressed that the results were minor, if any, multiple times with no one from Sono Bello following up. I finally spoke to someone who told me after my 6 month appointment I could be evaluated only if I was at the weight I was prior to the procedure. I gained 5 pounds since the procedure that I have not lost. I became so frustrated I went and got a second opinion which confirmed that only 1 of the 3 areas I paid for actually looks like something was done. It is apparent where Sono Bello stopped and is obvious the only area treated was my abs. I paid a lot of money and feel like I received nothing, not even good treatment as a patient. I would not recommend Sono Bello to anyone. They have done nothing to try and rectify this situation. It was a complete waste of $5500. They do not do what they advertise or charge you for.

I'm impressed with the Drs work. He's very detailed and thoughtful in answering your questions, but most importantly, his work is great. I'm two weeks post op. I had a tummy tuck. I'm healing nicely and can tell the suture work , and contouring he accomplished, is fantastic. The office is a little understaffed, and takes a while to get back to you, but please don't let that scare you away. If you can get past that, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Dr G!

He is an amazing plastic surgeon. He had a difficult case with reconstructing my breast after a leaking implant that led to an infection. I highly recommend him

No

Very satisfied with the work , and how I look , I would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much Dr. Alavi

I typically never write reviews but was so impressed with Dr. Pietraszek's office, I wanted to express my opinion. Tamara was like an immediate best friend and Karen is so friendly. All my interactions have been "white glove" service and I felt comfortable the moment I walked in. I would highly recommend Dr. Pietraszek... anytime to anyone.

Dr Bolitho is an amazing Doctor! After I found out I had breast cancer I was so worried and Dr Bolitho and his staff just wrapped there arms around me helping me thru a very difficult time. Dr Bolitho really cared about me and my recovery after my mastectomy. The reconstruction went very well I feel and look great can’t hardly tell there was a problem. Thank you dear Dr “B”!!!

My son is now +3. His name is Kahleo. And I can't thank you enough, Amanda Gosman, for the miricle you did. He was 4 months old when you performed his surgery to fix his bi-lateral cleft. He looks like an ordinary boy and not once has anyone ask me if he was born with cleft lip. You are gifted in what you do and I want to remind you of that. Thank you so much for the passion you have and the things you will provide for many other families in need.

HE was amazing for me!!

Dr sadi Erfani is the best wonderful great doctor i had done facil and body counter with him, he did the best surgery for me I'm very glad that he did the surgeries for me

Dr. Hallak is simply AMAZING! I had a breast lift and augmentation back in July 2013 with a surgeon in La Jolla, very expensive surgery, but I had believed that expensive meant the best. I was so wrong! I was never totally pleased with the results but I had no other option than accept the look of my breasts. In January 2015 I had my first mammogram and it was a total disaster! The muscle covering the implants got torn and the implants dropped. I could feel them right under my skin. Of course the mammogram clinic makes you sign a waiver saying that they are not responsible for any damage to implants. When I noticed that something was wrong, I went to see the surgeon in La Jolla and left his office feeling very disappointed and angry, he said that the repair of the muscles was going to cost me over half of the amount that I had payed for the lift and implants! A couple of months ago I decided to go see Dr. Hallak and he immediately explained that what had happened could be easily fixed. He was so kind, honest and professional that I knew right away that I wanted him to do my surgery! I was also given a much more reasonable quote, so I asked him to schedule my surgery as soon as possible. The office staff was also very nice and professional. Dr. Hallak repaired the muscles in both breasts, re-positioned the implants (now they look fuller and closer) and revised the scars under the breasts and around the areolas. From the day of the surgery and ever since, Dr. Hallak has been available for me to answer any questions I may have. My surgery was 6 weeks ago and I absolutely love the look of my breasts. This is the exact result that I wanted to achieve in my first and very expensive surgery! My friends and family have told me that I look incredibly good. I’m so happy and thankful I found Dr. Hallak! If you’re looking for a great plastic surgeon in San Diego, schedule a consult with Dr. Hallak, you will be in the best hands. I highly recommend him to everyone! LG

I met Dr Guttikonda after a bad experience with another surgeon. My first appointment was very personal and confidential. He explained to me all of his personal information and his years in practice, which most of the Drs. DON'T tell you much. He was very clear and confident of the mastectomy procedure he was going to perform on me and even though I wanted another cosmetic surgery, he said "no, because I have to focus on your cancer surgery first. I can see you after you are cancer free for the other surgery", another Dr would of probably answered differently. My husband and I are very happy with the way he explains everything to us, like if we had been friends for a long time. We truly recommend Dr. Guttikonda 100%.
