The supermodel says she has developed hard, protruding lumps on her body due to a rare side effect from the popular, fat-freezing CoolSculpting procedure
The procedure is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and the side effects Evangelista experienced are rare and disclosed to patients. Evangelista said she was never made aware of the risks.
She told People she was diagnosed with paradoxical adipose hyperplasia , a rare side effect where the freezing process in CoolSculpting causes the fatty tissue to thicken and expand. “The bulges are protrusions," she told People."And they’re hard. If I walk without a girdle in a dress, I will have chafing to the point of almost bleeding. Because it’s not like soft fat rubbing, it’s like hard fat rubbing.”
"The bulges and protrusions are permanent she says, and so they may not go away," Sheeler said."And so right now, all she knows is that she doesn’t want to hide anymore, and that she wants to start talking about it."“I don’t recognize myself physically, but I don’t recognize me as a person any longer either," she told People.
