Believe me, getting a form of liposuction wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card, and yet, just a couple of months ago I found myself getting Airsculpt. Although new to the UK, Airsculpt has been in the US for years and is a type of liposuction and body contouring that delivers permanent fat removal with significantly less downtime than traditional lipo. And while I never recommend buying into buzzy aesthetics trends (like last year's buccal fat removal trend, as an example), Airsculpt has interested me from the get-go.
But before we get the hows, whats and whys, I want to make sure we are crystal clear on a few things. Firstly, I want to address that I am very aware that we are all experiencing a 'thin is in' resurgence on social media at the moment—and I categorically reject this 'trend'. Although I will get into why I decided to opt for an Airsculpt treatment in more depth shortly, I want to assure you that 'thinness' has never been and will never be on my agenda. Secondly, as a beauty journalist, I'd like to caveat that I am offered lots of treatments and procedures that promise to turn me into a better version of myself—and I decline 99% of those offers. In my opinion, accepting and getting treatments that you aren't sure you want to begin with is how insecurities that didn't already exist are made. So I promise you this was something I was already considering. And, lastly, Airsculpt is, without a doubt, the most invasive cosmetic procedure I've had and will likely ever have—and I thought long and hard before going ahead.
