Celebrity Plastic Surgery

Apparently in less than 1% of people, it can have the opposite effect in that it increases fat cells and creates hard lumps, like a stick of butter (I read somewhere). My guess is that she developed lumps in the places she treated, which were include her flanks, abdomen, back and bra areas, inner thighs and chin.

And they would have told her of the risks, even the ones as low as 1% at her consult. There is no way she wasn’t aware.

The shape of her face looks different to me now—I don’t see how that could be a product of cool sculpting. She also looks like she’s had work done on her eyes.

There was a discussion elsewhere on this board — following Paulina Poriskova’s comments about “becoming invisible” in middle age — about what a rude awakening it is for women who are used to everyone melting over their beauty to suddenly start getting the same treatment that the majority of women receive from society. I dunno. Linda always struck me as being off the charts arrogant and entitled when compared to some of the other supermodels of that era, so somehow it’s not shocking she’s the one this happened to.

It's in very large print on the front page of the Zeltiq website:

CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite may cause a visible enlargement in the treated area, which may develop 2 to 5 months after treatment and requires surgical intervention for correction.

Please see CoolSculpting® full Important Safety Information and CoolSculpting® Elite full Important Safety Information for additional information.

The general information links on the website lists clearly and in large print that the risks include exactly what Linda experienced. It also gives really specific information from clinical trials about who suffered what and how often.

Nobody ever thinks they are going to fall into the "less than one percent" category. People hear that and think that means side effects basically never happen, when what it actually means is, out of every 138 people who have this procedure, one WILL experience PAH. And 138 people is not a lot of people.

From what I remember seeing of her during the heyday of the supermodels she came across as very unkind. One example I recall is from a round table type discussion she had with Cindy, Naomi, and a few others. Cindy remarked that she knew she had "made it" when she landed the cover of Vogue one August. Linda sort of smirked and said,"August isn't a big month though." Obviously this was a long time ago. People grow and change, and it must have been a very strange position for her (and the others) to be in. It also felt to me that beautiful women being haughty was considered "chic" back then. It could have been part of her "brand." I must confess I see no abnormalities when looking at her photo. Her jawline is different, but I presumed that was due to weight fluctuation.

It's hard to tell from that picture what happened to Linda. She's having an odd expression, in a weird position, sans makeup, and the pic is obviously through a long lens.

I know that if I had hard lumps under the surface of my skin I'd be super freaked out about it even if they barely showed through my skin. I'd be super self conscious.

Linda looks pretty much the same to me aside from weight gain. And it’s the Daily Mail - you know they dug through hundreds of pics to find the worst ones. I feel bad for her - it would suck no matter who you are but it’s gotta be especially painful when you made your career off your looks, and you can’t blame it entirely on age because many of your peers are still modeling.

Cool sculpting freaks me out anyway, because it kills off fat cells, but your body needs fat cells. And I’ve read that if your body doesn’t have enough fat cells to store fat, it will start storing it in other places, like your liver and muscles.

As for Kate, she looks a little botoxed (specifically between the brows) in the Emmy pictures, but nothing bad. But she did have lines on her face in Mare of Easttown. Of course she looks like Kate Winslet, but she didn’t look like a Hollywood beauty with perfect skin/hair/bod who was plunked down in the middle of this relatively poor town. I wonder if she just gets “refreshed” for awards season.

I just saw pics of Tom Cruise at the Dodgers/Giants game last night and I'm semi-traumatized. His cheeks look like he's a chipmunk storing up nuts for the long winter.

[famvir]

I saw the Dodger photos too. He does this frequently. The massive cheek engorging seem to settle down after a few months. Maybe he’s getting ready for another movie.

But these chipmunk cheeks seem vastly more inflated than the usual.

My mom did Cool Sculpting for her abdominal area. Not that long ago I asked what she thought about her results, and she said she wasn't that impressed. Also she mentioned that you're supposed to do more than just the Cool Sculpting aspect with regard to diet and exercise. She does yoga and eats healthier than she used to, but beyond that, not much else.

As someone who's never had to rely on her looks, I'm happy to age gracefully and not start fucking with my body or getting things injected into it.

But to each their own.
