This model once said she wouldn’t get out of bed for less than $10,000. Her contracts amounted to huge sums. Linda has been on the crest of the fashion wave for a long time, but after 50 years she went into circulation. To regain youth and beauty, she underwent plastic surgery, injections, and decided to sculpt her body using the cryolipolysis procedure on the ZELTIQ Aesthetics CoolSculpting machine. It appeared in 2015, and Evangelista was one of the first to cross the threshold of the beautician’s office to try out the newfangled procedure.
CoolSculpting became a trend, everyone liked the results after, and Linda, according to her, saw the opposite effect. Instead of the promised harmony, she received extra pounds. And now, surprisingly, I was going to sue the manufacturer of the device just now. Evangelista wants to get rich, having received a tidy sum of damage – no less than 50 million dollars.
Why didn’t she do it sooner? Or did the model simply decide to loudly remind herself of herself, because everyone forgot about her a long time ago? The last time they wrote was in 2016, just when the Evangelista became very stout.
We decided to ask the experts if it is possible to gain weight after a fashionable weight loss procedure? Or is Linda just a hype, deciding to draw public attention to her half-forgotten person, and yes, to make money on the scandal?
What is the essence of the cryolipolysis procedure
The procedure that Linda did became very popular. Many who have gone through cryolipolysis call it an alternative to liposuction (although in fact it is not). Rehabilitation is minimal, and the risks, as it seemed.

The essence of the cryolipolysis procedure on the Coolsculpting apparatus is the local cooling of the subcutaneous fat, which causes the destruction of fat cells (adipocytes). In this case, the procedure takes place without surgical intervention using special equipment with a vacuum nozzle. Exposure to low temperature triggers the process of destruction of fat cells – they gradually disintegrate into separate elements (apoptotic bodies). After that, other cells absorb the resulting apoptotic bodies, naturally process and remove from the body. This process of splitting and losing fat is safe and does not cause inflammation or the entry of fats into the human circulatory and lymphatic system.
It is important to note that the machine is designed for contouring, not for overall weight loss, and works best to eliminate localized fat deposits that are the hardest to get rid of when diet and exercise do not give the desired result, for example: knees, abdomen, hips, inner part hips, shoulders.
Is it possible to gain weight after such a procedure
Everything seems to be running smoothly with this kind of cryolipolysis. And it gives results, and acts according to an understandable scheme. But can this scheme be broken, and a person gain weight? Experts note that the reason for this is either the fault of the person himself, or the processes occurring in the body, which are not affected in any way by cryolipolysis.

The cryolipolysis procedure leads to the death of fat cells. The number of fat cells in each person is finite. If the fat cell has died, then a new one cannot appear, since the adipose tissue cannot reproduce itself, that is, the fat cell is not able to divide.
Adipose tissue can increase in size by increasing the size of individual cells, but not their number. This can happen when gaining weight (if a person began to eat unlimitedly). But, where the fat cells were removed using cryolipolysis, the volume will be less, and where the adipose tissue was not touched, the cells can begin to increase compensatory against the background of gastronomic hobbies. But, again, the reason for this is not the procedure itself, but unlimited nutrition, another reason is hormonal disruptions, eating disorders, diabetes or other diseases.
True, recently, the device manufacturer itself has really begun to record the opposite effect after the procedure, but the percentage of victims is very small.

After the procedure, you can start to gain weight in rare cases. This complication is called paradoxical fatty hyperplasia. The risk of catching such a complication is 1 in a million. The only way to correct this undesirable phenomenon is surgical intervention – liposuction.
It should be noted that an increase in adipose tissue occurs precisely in the area of cold exposure, repeating the shape of the applicator and occurring 2–3 months after the procedure. It does not affect the total body weight in any way.
We warn patients about the likelihood of this complication, be sure to indicate this in the informed consent, which the patient must sign before the procedure.
The causes of occurrence have not been fully studied and are still not known, some experts do not exclude the risk of developing complications in patients with metabolic syndrome (including diabetes mellitus), a violation of the level of sex hormones. Therefore, I always urge you to contact only specialized clinics, where a specialist consultation will be held before the procedure.
CoolSculpting manufacturer Allergan Aesthetics carefully monitors all cases of paradoxical fatty hyperplasia. And, as a rule, takes responsibility and reimbursement of expenses in the event of such a rare complication.

What could really happen to Linda
In the register of side effects on the official website of the manufacturer of devices for this type of cryolipolysis, fatty hyperplasia appeared not so long ago. And yes, the manufacturer noted that he bears all the costs for the damage caused. Therefore, the story of Linda raises a number of questions.
In every interview, she now says that in 2015 she just developed fatty hyperplasia after the procedure. True, Evangelista was inflated as a whole, and not locally, where cryolipolysis usually does.
If you look at her photo before the procedure, there is a feeling that the model has already entered the menopause. She looked edematous, plump, and not a slender doe, and not locally, but all over her body fat deposits are visible there.
For a long time, experts wondered what happened to Evangelista, they said that she had diabetes, sworn friends broadcast that due to the lack of contracts, she began to seize stress. And you know, it’s very similar. It is her passage that leads to strange thoughts.
Why did Linda decide to sue now, when fatty hyperplasia appeared in the register of side effects, why was she silent for 6 years? Experts suggest that all responsibility for the figure lies with Linda herself, because the side effect of the procedure cannot look like this, and the model just wants to draw attention to herself.

6 years have passed, this is a fairly long period for which the body can undergo many changes, including the possibly beginning period of menopause. She complains of an overall increase in body weight after the procedure, not just an increase in the volume of the treated area, and, as I previously pointed out, there is no overall increase in body weight after cryolipolysis. Therefore, I am inclined to believe that this is nothing more than an opportunity to draw attention to your person. How events will unfold in the future will be decided by the court. If she signed documents before the procedure, where all possible complications were indicated, then it is unlikely that she will win it.

To be honest, judging by the photo, Linda has long had a tendency to be overweight. She looks pasty, edematous, not very healthy. There are several reasons for this: age, hormones, other diseases or an unhealthy lifestyle, taking some drugs, we can only guess. We wish her to fall into the hands of good doctors, specialists who will help her find peace of mind and regain her desired appearance.

Most likely, Linda just relaxed, hoping for the miracles of the procedure. And this often happens to patients. Age has joined, metabolism has slowed down against the background of hormonal changes. Plus, the lack of physical activity, which should be after rehabilitation, and proper nutrition, too. Patients, like the model, often relax, take liberties. But miracles don’t happen. The result of the procedure itself is well reinforced not only with the help of sports and diet, but also with a course of massages, including hardware ones, for example, LPG.
Do you think Linda Evangelista will be able to win the trial? Write in the comments.
