The level of body fat has increased, not decreased. The procedure has irreversibly deformed my body and even after undergoing two painful, unsuccessful corrective surgeries, I am, as the media reports, unrecognizable, “Evangelista confessed.

Comment by Dr. Marcin Ambroziak, MD, a dermatologist
“Side effects happen. In this case, it’s good that only aesthetic and easily repairable. It’s a pity that not everyone understands it, and a global brawl will reduce the popularity of this effective method.”
A few words of a comment by Dr. Marcin Ambroziak, MD, a dermatologist , about the paradoxical excess of adipose tissue after cryolipolysis:
- It should be remembered and reminded that each treatment method has side effects;
- Cryolipolysis is a very safe method of non-invasive removal of excess body fat;
- Its operation is based on the phenomenon of accelerated, programmed death of fat cells at a low temperature;
- The paradoxical overgrowth of adipose tissue is the growth of tissue in the place where it is frozen, which is the opposite of the intended effect;
- This has been known for years and is an extremely rare side effect of cryolipolysis;
- In our center (we had cryolipolysis for the first time in Poland), for several thousand treatments, it happened once;
- Despite being a complication, it is still a cosmetic defect and not a serious condition;
- The treatment of this complication is classic surgical liposuction with excellent results.
