Overview

  • Evangelista, a two-time breast cancer survivor, has undergone multiple surgeries, including a double mastectomy, and says she is now comfortable with her scars and survival story.
  • She dissolved all cosmetic fillers, stating they made her look unrecognizable, but continues to use Botox as part of her beauty regimen.
  • The 2021 CoolSculpting procedure that disfigured her body led to a $50 million lawsuit against Zeltiq Aesthetics, which was settled in July 2022.
  • Evangelista is in therapy to rebuild her self-esteem and embrace her natural appearance, stating she no longer fears aging and is focused on living life fully.
  • In a new Harper’s Bazaar cover story, she shares her evolving perspective on beauty standards, aging, and the importance of self-acceptance after years of personal and physical challenges.
