Due to a bad reaction to a fat reduction operation, supermodel Linda Evangelista has been left “permanently disfigured.”
The 56-year-old stated that five years ago, she encountered an unusual cosmetic adverse effect of the treatment that caused her fat cells to grow. “I’ve been rendered ‘unrecognizable,’ as the media has put it,” she informed her 900,000 Instagram followers. It was for this reason, Evangelista claimed, that she had vanished from the public eye.
After the slimming surgery, popularly known as body contouring, had had the opposite effect, the Canadian model went on to declare she had undergone “two excruciating, unsuccessful, remedial surgeries.”
“To my fans who have questioned why I haven’t been working while my friends’ careers have flourished,” Evangelista added, “the reason is that I was cruelly scarred by… [a treatment] that did the exact reverse of what it promised.”

She described a side effect she had “has not only destroyed my livelihood, but has also thrown me into a spiral of severe sorrow, terrible sadness, and self-loathing. As a result, I’ve become a recluse.” The actress said in a social media post that she wanted to tell her tale publicly so she could go on with her life and that she would be suing the firm she claimed was to blame.
The company that Evangelista claims to have utilized has yet to respond to a request for comment from the BBC. She said, “I’m so tired of living this way.” “I want to go out my door with my head held high, despite the fact that I don’t look like myself anymore.”
Cold temperatures are used to remove fat deposits in specific parts of the body in this non-surgical therapy, which has increased in popularity in recent years.
“It’s not fully understood why this occurs,” Evangelista said of the “very rare but serious side effect” she had experienced. “It means the fat cells in the treatment site grow larger rather than smaller,” she said Evangelista rose to prominence in the 1990s as one of a new breed of supermodels, walking the runways of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses and appearing on the cover of Vogue magazine. She also starred alongside Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington in a George Michael song video.
Gwyneth Paltrow and stylist Karla Welch, as well as designers Jeremy Scott and Brandon Maxwell, expressed their support in the comments beneath Evangelista’s article. “You are and always will be a supermodel,” Scott said, “and now you can add super role model of courage to your wonderful portfolio,” Paltrow responded with a red love heart emoji.
Maxwell made the following comment: “I’ve always thought of you as someone who was physically attractive, but also someone who glowed brightly from within… May you never forget the light you have sparked in so many people, even in your darkest days.” Karen Elson, a fellow model, said: “Linda is a lovely lady. I adore you because you are so bold and amazing.”
