Dermatologist explains how Botox can improve your appearance
Triple board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mamina weighs in on Botox and explains the potential benefits.
Linda Evangelista says she doesn’t care about aging.
The ’90s supermodel, 59, opened up to Harper’s Bazaar for the magazine’s May cover story about aging and beauty in an interview published Aug. 24.
“I don’t care how I age. I just want to age. It doesn’t have to be gracefully,” Evangelista told the outlet, adding, “I really, really, really don’t want to die.”
The comments come four years after she revealed in a vulnerable Instagram post in September 2021 that she was left “brutally disfigured” after CoolSculpting, a non-invasive body contouring procedure, and found herself in a “cycle of deep depression.”
That same month, she filed a lawsuit against Zeltiq Aesthetics seeking $50 million in damages over the CoolSculpting procedure she says led her body to become disfigured. The once reclusive fashion icon has reentered the public eye within the last few years with a series of magazine features and buzzy appearances.
Linda Evangelista dissolved filler, still receives Botox injections
In the Harper’s interview, Evangelista addressed her experiences with beauty procedures, admitting she dissolved her filler because “I wasn’t looking like me” but still receives Botox injections.
In the wake of the CoolSculping controversy, Evangelista is still finding herself.
“I’m doing the work, and I’m trying to get to the place where I like myself, flaws and all, and trying to love myself,” she said. “I have still so much to do. I’m finally getting comfortable with myself and with everything, and now I want to enjoy it.”
“I want to be a grandmother, but not in the immediate future,” Evangelista continued. “I’m alive. I’m alive, and I’m going to do what I have to do.” Her only son Augustin heads off to college in the fall, making the modeling legend an empty nester, telling the outlet that “I’m going to fight because I don’t want it any other way. I’m not done.”
In July 2022, Evangelista settled her lawsuit with Zeltiq Aesthetics. In the Harper’s Bazaar piece, Evangelista lifts up her shirt to show her body scars, described as “violent” in the story, as the two-time breast cancer survivor told the writer, “I lived through that.”
“My double mastectomy, I’m fine with it,” Evangelista said. “I did put in very small implants. What they took out, I put in, cc-wise. I’ve had all those lung surgeries, oh my God, and my keloids and all the chest-tube scars and my C-section scar. There were a lot of surgeries. I’m cool. I’m fine with those. I won. I’m here.”
