I’ll try anything once, which is how I ended up in the newly opened Elite Body Sculpture clinic on London’s Harley Street, having a consultation for Hollywood’s latest treatment, AirSculpt.
My double chin has always bothered me. Thanks to genetics, the pocket of fat under my jawline remains unchanged despite fluctuations in my weight. I’ve previously experimented with fat-dissolving injection Kybella and sculpting radiofrequency treatments, but the results were not permanent.
And although I learnt to disguise it well with clever contouring, my recent preference for a more pared-back make-up look meant that my double chin was getting considerably more airtime.
Fortuitously, an email about a brandnew body contouring technique landed in my inbox. The brainchild of Dr Aaron Rollins, Los Angeles-based cosmetic surgeon and founder of Elite Body Sculpture, AirSculpt arrived in the UK earlier this year.
