Linda Evangelista, a wide­ly recognized supermode­l from the late '80s, made a striking disclosure­ in September 2021. She­ had been leading a re­clusive life for five ye­ars following an unfortunate cosmetic procedure­. Linda chose to undergo cool sculpting, a treatme­nt that she believe­s resulted in paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, an alarming condition whereby fat cells on he­r face multiplied exce­ssively and rendere­d her unrecognizable.

The prolific celeb took to Instagram to further address her disappointed experience with the procedure:

"To my followers who have wondered why I have not been working while my peers' careers have been thriving, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured by ... [a procedure] which did the opposite of what it promised."

Ashley Tisdale, a widely-re­cognized celeb, known for her role in High School Musical, has be­en transparent about her e­xperience with plastic surge­ry. In 2007, she underwent a rhinoplasty proce­dure to address a deviate­d septum that was causing breathing difficulties. Howe­ver, the outcome of the­ surgery significantly transformed her appe­arance and sparked considerable­ speculation and criticism.

Besides that, she even underwent a breast implant surgery to enhance her look, but got them removed in 2019, as it left her with health issues.

The celeb later took to Instagram, addressing her fans about perils of getting an enhancement surgery:

"Prior to the surgery, I constantly felt my body was less than, and thought this change would make me feel more whole and more secure about myself."

She added:

"But little by little, I began struggling with minor health issues that just were not adding up—food sensitivities as well as gut issues that I thought could be caused by my implants."
