Linda Evangelista's aesthetic odyssey ends: the model ends the lawsuit for the deformation caused by liposculpture

2022-07-20T18:35:24.762Z


The 'top model' underwent a treatment that left her "completely deformed" and that has kept her away from public life until a few days ago, when she starred in a campaign for Fendi


In 2017, Donatella Versace organized a fashion show in Milan that was itself a tribute to the 90s supermodels that her brother Gianni helped make into what they were.

That group of statuesque women, as famous as rock stars, who didn't need a last name.

Everyone knew who was being talked about if the name Claudia, Naomi, or Cindy was mentioned.

For that parade, Donatella managed to bring together Carla (Bruni), Claudia (Schiffer), Naomi (Campbell), Cindy (Crawford) and Helena (Christensen).

Once the euphoria generated after seeing all those icons once again stepping on a catwalk as they did in the 1991 Versace show to which the tribute referred, the inevitable question arose: where was Linda?

Her answer: she had undergone a complex aesthetic treatment that had left her,

he assured, “deformed”.

Now he closes that stage by putting an end to the lawsuit he filed against the company that caused that problem.

Linda Evangelista (57 years old) was missing: for years she did not step on a single red carpet, did not attend any event, any parade, any party or any presentation.

No reunions with other colleagues, or big fashion campaigns.

For not appearing, Linda Evangelista did not even appear in the photographs that she uploaded to her own Instagram account.

Unlike her colleagues, the Canadian seemed to have been swallowed up by the earth.

Finally, in September 2021, Evangelista decided to tell what had happened to her in a long text on her Instagram profile: she had had a problem with an aesthetic treatment that separated her from public life, by, according to her, "leaving her completely deformed ” and disqualified from practicing his profession.

"Today I take a big step in correcting a damage that I have suffered and that I have been keeping to myself for five years," wrote the supermodel.

“To all my followers, who have wondered why I haven't worked while my colleagues' careers have been on the upswing, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured from Zeltiq's liposculpture procedure, which did the opposite of what was promised.

She increased, not decreased, my fat cells and permanently misshapen me, even after going through two very painful corrective surgeries with no success,” she wrote at the time.

"They have left me, as the press has described, unrecognizable."

Linda Evangelista underwent a treatment called C

oolSculpting

or liposculpture, an alternative technique to liposuction, supposedly less invasive and without postoperative, which removes localized fat by freezing cells, something that caused her a disease called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, or PAH , for its acronym in English, as he would confess later in an in-depth interview with

People magazine

.

A problem that the manufacturer estimates only occurs in one out of every 4,000 treatments, but which according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in the USA can occur in 0.72% of cases, that is, in one out of every 138. The model assured that after those sessions she was "permanently deformed" and for this reason she sued Zeltiq, the parent company of the devices for this treatment, from which she demanded 50 million dollars (about 44 million euros) in damages.

Today, Linda Evangelista says she is "satisfied" after having solved the

CoolSculpting

case .

This has been communicated through his Instagram account, where he has added that he is looking forward to starting a new stage in his life: “I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life with friends and family, and I am happy to leave this matter behind. .

I am truly grateful for the support I have received from those who have been close."

At the moment, details of the agreement between the company and the supermodel are unknown.

Sources close to the model have revealed to

People

that this seems to be the conclusion that Evangelista needed to move forward: “With this agreement and her recent Fendi campaign, Linda is ready to turn the page.

After years of hiding, she is now coming out again.”

In that interview with the same medium where she revealed the reasons that kept her away from the world, she also confessed how much she loved her profession: "I loved getting on the catwalk, now I'm afraid to meet someone I know."

At the moment, she has not been on any catwalk, but she has starred in the latest Fendi campaign, which celebrates the emblematic

baguette

bag , an icon of the house.

On her return she has been surrounded by a good handful of friends and trusted people: the photographer Steven Meisel, with whom she made some of the most memorable campaigns and editorials of her career, and her friend Kim Jones, current artistic director of Fendi and Dior Man.

Who knows if Linda, without a last name, will walk the catwalk once again.
