she reveals to be disfigured by cosmetic surgery

Catwalk star in the 90s, former model Linda Evangelista revealed on Instagram why she hasn’t appeared publicly for five years. The model says she was disfigured following an intervention called the CoolSculpting, cosmetic surgery that involves reducing the presence of fatty cells in the face.

This fat destruction method relies on an applicator placed on the area to be treated, in order to aspirate the fat and expose it to extreme cold. But the procedure performed on Linda Evangelista would have gone awry and had the opposite effect, that is, the fat cells in her face would have increased instead of decreasing. Despite two restorative surgeries, ”I was left, as the media say, ‘unrecognizable’”, she testifies this Wednesday, September 22, 2021.

Physical and psychological consequences for Linda Evangelista

Linda Evangelista claims that she now lives “recluse ” at her home and that she will soon file a complaint against the brand that markets this treatment. “I developed paradoxical fat hyperplasia or PAH, a risk I was not aware of before undergoing the procedures…”, she explained, before adding: “PAH not only destroyed my livelihood, it plunged me into a cycle of deep depression, deep sadness and rare self-loathing.” Already in 2017, the Mirror had published photos of Lisa Evangelista showing significant physical changes.

This cosmetic surgery therefore had important consequences on the physique, but also on the mental health of Linda Evangelista, who no longer dares to leave her home. “I’m so tired of living this way. I would like to get out of my house, even though I don’t look like myself anymore.”, confides the ex-model. A very courageous message, which proves how much society demands of women to stay young and slim forever, no matter what the consequences for her.
