If you follow the news or fashion industry, you may have read that Linda Evangelista says she was ‘brutally disfigured‘ after CoolSculpting. Many aren’t familiar with CoolSculpting and have not heard of the condition she now has or why it occurs.
Linda Evangelista Says She Was ‘Brutally Disfigured’ After CoolSculpting. What Is It?
After Linda Evangelista received CoolSculpting, she developed a condition called PHA or paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This is when the body has an adverse reaction to CoolSculpting, a non-surgical body contouring treatment which uses freezing temps to eliminate fat cells.
With PHA, the fat cells actually expand instead of being destroyed. This enlargement happens gradually, and it takes months to notice. It occurs rarely and isn’t painful but will appear as an unsightly growth that will need to be treated with liposuction.
Sadly, Ms. Evangeliasta was not told this was a possible risk, and that is why you should always be educated before any cosmetic enhancement. Be sure you do your homework before any consultation, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Research your treatment and write down your questions. Never assume because treatment is non-invasive that it is 100% without risks.
You already practice a healthy lifestyle, right? Well, education is just as important as proper diet and exercise. Taking responsibility for your health is not only smart but also empowering! It’s the key to living better longer!
