The problem is the messaging. To use language such as "brutally disfigured" feeds into fatphobic narratives and is stigmatising. It's very problematic. A simple shift in language - from I am to I feel - would have ameliorated this. Of course she has the right to express her experience however she pleases, but for a wealthy white celebrity to state to the world that a double chin is a brutal disfigurement and to have this massive resounding confirmation of that from every blueticker and their dog? It's just hugely unhelpful in a society that is already overly focused on appearance and unrealistic body goals

Haha....well this is hilarious
I think it's a case of someone being brilliant at drawing something rather than someone.
Perhaps the saying "beauty is skin deep" has never applied to L.E what do we know about her intelligence, humour, her stance on world issues? She made her fortune out of being a model, demanded obscene amounts of money in doing so. Has she done anything with her fame in a philanthropist way? Yes it is upsetting aging. It's crap, the wrinkles, grey hair, the hormonal crap, but its life. Make lasting friendships, enjoy people you are like minded with. She unfortunately was hailed the most beautiful woman on earth, and clearly believed it! Yes it's unfortunate, but come on get a bleeping grip!
Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia sounds all medical-y and scary, but it literally just means unexpected weight (fat) gain and is treatable
I haven't seen any close up, well focussed photos and LE has had a couple of corrective operations since, but what Alice HD described it as sounds pretty distressing - a raised up, hard area in the shape of the head of the gadget used which is about the dimensions of "a stick of butter".
Who's Alice HD?
Yowch. That does sound distressing.
Sorry- Alice Hart-Davis, of The Tweakments Guide (

Sucks for her, I guess, but the overwrought self-pity is a bit much for me. There's just so much actual suffering in this world, young women struck with terminal cancer for one, and I feel this is taking up altogether too much bandwidth. The cult of celebrity eh? Gets the clicks. (It's my opinion, don't come at me 
)
)It sounds as though the combination of losing her looks and her livelihood at what is also a potentially transitional time of life but seeing her contemporaries able to carry on modelling, triggered a breakdown.
I don’t know. There’s always people better and worse off than you - it’s not a tragedy competition. Her face seems to have lost all definition - she had amazing cheekbones. She doesn’t look like herself but older - she looks like herself turned into a cane toad, and that’s got to hurt. I feel very sorry for her. Yes she’s not actually currently on fire but fucks sake. It’s bad.
“Cane toad” is a little extreme.
I hope she's getting the psychological support she clearly needs
Of course it's not a competition. But a little perspective never hurts

Dr Natalia said that the procedure that LE doesn’t work and she’s had really unfortunate and uncommon side effects. I’ve no idea really. 
Just to say though that the nude serum L’Oréal stuff is really good. It kind of sinks into your skin rather than sits on the top. And doesn’t transfer. Recommend.

Or course she needs to work, $40 million isn't enough. What more do these people need and want?
I would be devo’d if my face was fucked up by my own hand at the hand of another. And I have not been one of the world’s most beautiful women.
Yes I feel sorry for her. But she is where she is. She is healthy and her face is quite a normal looking face now. She is just a normal person now and not a supermodel.
She actually now reminds me of Ava Gardner when she was older.
She needs to now explore avenues open to her that do not involve her looks. She has a lot of money which should help. She is in danger of turning into one of those Norma Desmond characters who cannot accept that time marches on. It is the danger of seeing your face as the only thing of value about you.
Tis a sad tale of the perils of ageing in public surrounded by people who tell you how beautiful you look all the time. I feel sorry for her but that’s the risk you take if you put stuff into your face that doesn’t belong there 
The psychological support she needs sounds like it runs deeper than just from the side effects of this cosmetic treatment gone wrong. The whole thing makes me feel sad.
