Linda Evangelista has made a comeback to the modelling world, following a years-long hiatus after she experienced a cosmetics procedure that went wrong.
The '90s supermodel, 57, was left “brutally disfigured” after undergoing a fat freezing procedure six years ago.
Linda suffered a rare reaction to the treatment, which she said left her “permanently deformed”.
She has now returned to the spotlight, featuring on the cover of British Vogue.

In her cover shoot, Linda wore an all-red outfit, keeping her makeup natural.
She explained that makeup artist Pat McGrath had drawn her face, neck and jaw back using tape and elastic, saying: “That’s not my jaw and neck in real life – and I can’t walk around with tape and elastics everywhere.
“You know what, I’m trying to love myself as I am, but for the photos. Look, for photos I always think we’re here to create fantasies. We’re creating dreams. I think it’s allowed.
“Also, all my insecurities are taken care of in these pictures, so I got to do what I love to do.”
She went on to discuss the impact the procedure had on her mental health and career opportunities, saying: "Am I cured mentally? Absolutely not. But I’m so grateful for the support I got from my friends and from my industry.

"You’re not going to see me in a swimsuit, that’s for sure. It’s going to be difficult to find jobs with things protruding from me; without retouching, or squeezing into things, or taping things or compressing or tricking."
Last September, Linda revealed that she had filed a lawsuit against Zeltiq Aesthetics to court for grievous injuries. The case has since been settled.
She told British Vogue: “If I had known side effects may include losing your livelihood and you’ll end up so depressed that you hate yourself… I wouldn’t have taken that risk.”
