An Instagram influencer has shared how she is getting her body confidence back with cellulite removal surgery – after cruel trolls said she looked like she had ‘holes’ in her legs.
Débora Porto, 34, from Brazil, a body-positive influencer with over 1.1 million followers on Instagram, can often be seen flaunting her gorgeous curves.
She has now spoken candidly about her struggle with cellulite, and how she finds it a nuisance in public.
‘It’s like a marriage to someone we don’t love. I’ve tried everything to get rid of it and haven’t found a way that works,’ Débora said.
Despite her confident persona, the model opened up further about how cellulite had left her wanting to hide – particularly after people passed comments about her appearance, including a member of changing room staff.
She said: ‘I love to wear clothes that are short and I’ve never had problems with that, but on my body it draws much more attention than the same piece on a thin body.
‘For example, I went to buy an outfit and the saleswoman in a department store said it wouldn’t look good on me. I was upset, but I thought the look was beautiful and I took it anyway. Who is she to say it wouldn’t look good on my body?
‘A lot of times women don’t have the courage to wear an outfit or bikini because they feel ugly or bad about themselves.’ Although strangers often pass along judgement to Débora, she doesn’t let them stop her from wearing what makes her feel her best.
She said: ‘I wear a top and shorts to the gym, the street and supermarkets and I feel super good, until I hear nasty comments from women and discriminatory looks.
‘There was an episode in a cafeteria on the road. I was returning from São Paulo with my sister, and two women passed by who spoke loudly for me to hear: “How ridiculous, [it looks like] your legs are full of holes.”
‘I felt really bad, so I got in the car with my sister and told her. She went back to the gas station store to confront the women for making me very sad,’ the body-positive influencer added.
‘Unfortunately some women embrace the dictatorship of beauty. They are the people who throw stones the most…’
