Former supermodel Linda Evangelista has filed a $50 million lawsuit over cosmetic procedures that she says left her "brutally disfigured" and turned her into a recluse.
* file : to officially recored somthing, especially in a law court
* brutally : in a very cruel and violent way
* disfigure : to spoil the appearance of somthing or someone, especially their face, completely.
She said she suffered a rare side effect called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) after the procedures, which causes people to develop a swelling in the areas that were treated. "PAH has not only destroyed my livelihood, it has sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing. In the process, I have become a recluse," she said.
* swelling : a part of your body that has become bigger because of illness or injury
* livelihood : (the way someone earns) the money people need to pay for food, a place to live, clothing, etc
* profound : felt or experienced very strongly or in an extreme way
