Linda Evangelista: the supermodel takes legal action after negligence in a cosmetic procedure

Linda Evangelista was one of the most iconic faces of the 90s.

The supermodel was, alongside Naomi Campbell and  Christy Turlington, one of the most famous models of the era,

She became insanely popular because of her beauty.

And even though the time has passed, she’s still a beautiful woman at her 56 years old.

However, this might not be the case right now,

As the supermodel has recently opened up about a cosmetic procedure that has left her

“Permanently deformed.”

She opened up about the strange side effect she has developed,

After going under a cosmetic procedure called fat freezing.

The supermodel has shared her story via her Instagram page,

In which she explained the side effect the procedure left her,

Moreover, she clarifies that she was not aware of this side effect being a possibility,

And because of that, the model will be taking legal action.

“Today I took a big step towards righting a wrong that I have suffered and have kept to myself for over five years.”

According to Linda, she’s now 'unrecognizable’

“I have developed Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia or PAH, a risk of which I was not made aware before I had the procedures. PAH has not only destroyed my livelihood, but it has also sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing.”

She stated that she is pursuing legal actions:

"With this lawsuit, I am moving forward to rid myself of my shame and going public with my story.

I'm so tired of living this way. I would like to walk out my door with my head held high, despite not looking like myself any longer."

As for right now, the lawsuit corresponds to more than $50 million.
