Vicki Gunvalson talks about her weight loss journey
The reality TV star, Vicki Gunvalson of Real Housewives of Orange County fame has lost a considerable amount of weight. She told US Weekly that she shed 22 pounds. She looks slimmer and beautiful. Vicki revealed that she did diet for the weight loss. But what helped her more in shedding her excess body fat was AirSculpt.
Vicki is now 60. She became conscious of her excess weight when she noticed that her cellulite was getting obvious. There was marked fat accumulation around her legs and hips. Hence she decided to work on it and eliminate that excess fat.
Vicki Gunvalson (Source: US weekly)The TV personality started dieting. She resorted to intermittent fasting and restricted her intake of sugars, white refined flour products, fried foods etc. About it, Vicki disclosed:
“I lost about 20 pounds with dieting from my heaviest two, three years ago,”
Vicki and AirSculpt
Though she did lose some weight with diet, it was still less than her expectations. But her cellulite started getting prominent. Vicki said:
“Cellulite appears stronger when you’re getting thinner,”
“My butt and my legs were running into the same area. So I was in the Hamptons and I ran into LeeAnne Locken and she looked fabulous. I’m like, ‘What in the hell did you do?’ She’s like, ‘I lost weight, and I did AirSculpt.’ I’m like, ‘Liposuction.’ She goes, ‘No, AirSculpt.’”
Vicki Gunvalson (Source: Bravo TV)The results of the AirSculpt were fascinating. Vicki said:
“I was really excited ’cause I didn’t have to go under general anesthetic, and they actually cut the bands of the cellulite so they won’t appear anymore,”
But the procedure has limitations. Vicki revealed what the doctor told her:
“Cellulite is these bands that appear and push the skin up and [you] get these dimples. So I’m like, ‘Well, get ’em gone. What can we do?’ And [the doctor said], ‘I definitely can improve. I’m not gonna put you back to when you were 20.’ So I had a realistic expectation,”

AirSculpt is a treatment of body contouring. But this is only available at Elite Body Sculpture offices. In this procedure, the doctor permanently removes the excess fat and further tightens the overlying skin. There is sculpting done of the targeted areas of the body.

“There’s no bruising after about three weeks and I’ll be in a bathing suit and I’ll do my best to be proud of the results. It’s not perfect, but it’s a whole lot better. And that’s what I needed. It’s a whole lot better without going under the knife.”
The procedure helped her lose more weight too.
