'I am brutally disfigured': Model Linda Evangelista, 56, claims she's been 'permanently deformed'
Permalink   
 


Linda Evangelista claimed she has been 'brutally disfigured' from the rare side effects of a cosmetic procedure she underwent five years ago, as she explained her absence from the spotlight on Instagram on Wednesday. 

The supermodel, 56, took a tentative step back into the public eye when she blamed her 'reclusive' behaviour on a disfiguring procedure. In the social media statement, the Nineties-icon claimed she had been 'permanently deformed' due to a rare side effect from the fat-reducing procedure.

According to Linda, she had undergone a CoolSculpting procedure to 'decrease' her fat cells, but instead the procedure 'increased' her fat cells, a peril she insists she was not warned of, so is now seeking legal action. 

She has developed paradoxical adipose hyperplasia - a rare, previously unreported adverse effect of cryolipolysis, which has been reported in of 0.0051% of the 1.5 million CoolSculpting procedures performed worldwide. 

With this condition, the treated area becomes larger, rather than smaller, in the weeks after the procedure. It can leave a 'painless, visibly enlarged, firm, well-demarcated mass' underneath the skin.

The year before Linda underwent her CoolSculpting, the star was looking wholly more like her runway self, as she took to the red carpet at the Met Gala in May. 

In June, she was again seen on the red carpet, this time at the Fragrance Awards.  

CoolSculpting is the original form of cryolipolysis. Areas are sucked into a handpiece and cooled so fat cells freeze, die and are excreted. One session is needed, but can be repeated after 12 weeks. Each treatment takes an hour and results are seen from around three weeks

Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia is a rare, previously unreported adverse effect of cryolipolysis. 

Cryolipolysis uses cooling to damage and destroy subcutaneous fat cells, without damaging the skin to reduce the amount of fat in the treated area.

This phenomenon of PAH has a reported rate of incidence of 0.0051% of the 1.5 million CoolSculpting procedures performed worldwide. Many physicians see numerous cases in their offices.

PAH causes a gradual enlargement of the treated area. It occurs when the stimulus (the freezing of fat cells) activates a reactionary process in the fatty tissue that thickens and expands the fat cells rather than breaking them down and allowing the body to process and remove them.

PAH is only known to occur following a cryolipolysis, or CoolSculpting body contouring treatment.

I don't understand why anyone blessed with such outstanding looks would resort to surgery. There's beauty in age, particularly if you're good looking to start with. She really has no one to blame but herself.

Then there's Madonna...who's looking more and more like Pete Burns as the surgery goes on.   We all age.  We can't help it.  Society is particularly brutal to women in this matter.

That's a shame. I always thought she was one of the most natural 'supermodels'.

I agree about getting older and being accepting of the changes in your looks, but I suppose, when you are in the public eye, especially if your job depends on the way you look, it's tempting to want to try to keep looking as you always have...which is impossible anyway.

Funnily enough I don't find a lot of supermodels especially attractive, plus some have repulsive personalities especially the bitch queen Naomi Campbell.

 My husband doesn't find them particularly sexy.   Perhaps women look at another woman's beauty in a different way.    I can appreciate female beauty, I actually think some women are so beautiful they are breath-taking.

Being sexy and beautiful are two different things really - Campbell may be beautiful but I would rather go to bed with Lizzie Borden.

Naomi Campbell was on TV the other night, she looked plastic. Looks like she has gone the way of many beautiful women when they try to stay looking 23.

Linda Evangelista is 56 now, sadly she tried to keep her looks by undertaking surgery, and it went wrong for her. No doubt other past supermodels who are still working in their 50's have had more success. I doubt any of them would be working if they had aged naturally.

I do think Evangelista is brave to speak openly about the botched surgery, maybe it will encourage other women to avoid it and just be themselves.

Any comments on pics like this?

From an article comparing the way Campbell has aged compared to Kate Moss.

 Black skin ages better than white skin and Kate Moss has hammered the hedonistic life style.     She's smoked, drank and drugged for decades... and now it's starting to show on her face.

Such articles always look for the best and worst possible photos for comparisons.

But yes she looks at least a decade older than her years.

The point I was making though is, Kate Moss doesn't look as if she has had anything done to her face, Naomi obviously has, and that is their choice.

But when headlines compare two women who have relied on their looks and nothing else since they were teenagers, it isn't surprising that many go down the plastic surgery route to try to compete with their peers. I applaud Kate Moss for growing older naturally.

No wonder so many women in the public eye have that wind tunnel over inflated lip look.....and when it goes badly wrong as in the case of Evangelista, they are criticised for that too.

Good points.

As I say though Syl I don't care how good Campbell looks she is truly ugly on the inside and often plays the race card to get away with her obnoxious behaviour.

Yeah, if a person isn't nice on the inside, no matter how good the outside is, it's not impressive.

She has assaulted so many people over the years most of whom refused to press charges (fearing for future work I suspect).

Assistants, maids, drivers all of whom do far more productive jobs than poncing around on a catwalk wearing often preposterous 'fashions'.

 Yes and plays the racist card when she loses out.  How she ever became popular beats me.

I have no idea either Mags - she has no class at all.

Has she ever been popular with the public?
She was a clothes horse, the right shape, the right look, and seemingly hard as nails and able to cope in a business that notoriously manipulates young women.
