Linda Evangelista, the first photos after the aesthetic treatment that disfigured her: "I live a nightmare"
The supermodel was struck by paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, a rare side effect that increases the volume of fat cells in treated body parts instead of decreasing it.
After the cosmetic surgery that disfigured her, and which led her to live for almost five years in "self-enclosure", Linda Evangelista returns to show herself in public, recounting her "nightmare" in a long interview , accompanied by photos, to the weekly “People”.
Evangelista, 56, talks about the pain, physical and emotional, with which she is forced to live after having undergone seven sessions of coldculpting (cryolipolysis), a non-surgical treatment that helps reduce localized accumulations of fat using cold and which, as he explains, he "brutally disfigured her".
The model filed a lawsuit in September 2021 suing the coolculpting company, Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc., from which she is claiming $ 50 million in damages, claiming she was no longer able to work after the treatment sessions in question. took place in a dermatologist's office between August 2015 and February 2016.
Three months after treatment, Linda Evangelista began to notice lumps on her chin, thighs and bra area. Then, the decision to contact her trusted doctor who communicated the diagnosis: paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, a rare side effect that increases the volume of fat cells in the parts of the body treated instead of decreasing it.
"My posture was also affected because I can no longer rest my arms at my sides" she explains today, after having also undergone two liposuction sessions which, however, did not lead to a resolution of the problem.
“The supermodel Linda Evangelista has almost disappeared”, the harsh reflection.
