The supermodel has settled her $50M case with CoolSculpting.

She came out with the news of a botched cosmetic procedure in September.

Evangelista couldn’t model anymore because she became disfigured.

She the sued Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc., the parent company of CoolSculpting.

“I’m pleased to have settled the CoolSculpting case,” she wrote in a statement.
