A Canadian supermodel is putting a company on blast after she alleged they left her "permanently deformed" from a surgery they performed.
Linda Evangelista posted on Instagram on Thursday, September 23, saying that her modelling career was stunted due to a CoolSculpting procedure by Zeltiq, a Californian company, in a story that she's kept to herself for five years.
Evangelista said the fat-reduction procedure left her with Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), which she said caused her depression, sadness and "the lowest depths of self-loathing."
Narcity reached out to CoolSculpture and Allergan, the parent company of Zeltiq, for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Evangelista alleged that despite two "painful" corrective surgeries, she's been left "unrecognizable" by the procedure. This lawsuit, she said, is her chance to rid herself of the associated shame.
"I would like to walk out my door with my head held hight," she wrote, "despite not looking like myself any longer."
