Model Linda Evangelista is known as a legendary model who was known for owning the fashion runways in the 1990s. However, fans have noticed that the 56-year-old has not been in the public eye in the last few years and there’s a reason for that. Evangelista posted an explanation to her Instagram account earlier this week.
Apparently, the 56-year-old model underwent a cosmetic procedure over five years ago that left her “deformed” as Evangelista described it. The model uploaded a written explanation of everything she had experienced. She captioned the post, “#TheTruth #MyStory.”
“To my followers who have wondered why I have not been working while my peers’ careers have been thriving, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured by Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting procedure which did the opposite of what it promised,” she explained.
“It increased, not decreased, my fat cells and left me permanently deformed even after undergoing two painful, unsuccessful, corrective surgeries. I have been left, as the media has described, ‘unrecognizable,’” According to the model.
CoolSculpting, which Evangelista used to reduce fat deposits on certain areas of her body, uses cold temperatures. Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), is another side effect of this nonsurgical procedure.
