“When I got abdominoplasty, My belly button was removed and disposed without my consent,” she wrote. “I did 3 very painful revisions to create a belly button. Unfortunately, it was never fixed.”
Larissa noted that, since the tummy tuck, she has attempted multiple times to improve her stomach’s appearance but that it “isn’t possible” to reconstruct her naval.
It was another celebrity who inspired Larissa to speak out about her ordeal, one year later. “I did not want to speak of this before, but I’m tired of being silent in my sadness with no where to go to fix the problem,” she explained. “My inspiration to open up is @lindaevangelista . Now, I have the courage.”
Last September, Linda Evangelista announced on Instagram that she had become “permanently deformed” after developing paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) following a non-surgical fat-freezing procedure.
Following her recent posts, Larissa has received support online from both fans and fellow 90 Day Fiancé stars. Jasmin Lahtinen Abelard commented two blue heart emojis, while Vanessa Guerra, who is married to Larissa’s ex-husband Colt Johnson, wrote, “Proud of you.”
