  • Model Eden Fines is suffering from severe facial swelling.
  • She announced her health issue on Instagram on September 7.
  • Fines will take time off for medical examinations and rest.
  • The announcement follows a controversy over her thin appearance.
  • She previously defended herself against criticism of her weight.

Israeli model Eden Fines has revealed she is suffering from severe facial swelling, particularly under her eyes, after a period of silence on social media that concerned her followers. Fines posted on Instagram on Monday, September 7, sharing photos of her swollen face and explaining that she has been experiencing health problems. She assured her fans that she would take a few days for "recharge, examinations, and just a breather" and promised to share more details later.

The model's current health issue has drawn significant attention due to a recent controversy surrounding her weight. A month prior, Fines faced backlash after posting photos from Paris that some followers and influencers deemed showed her as "painfully thin." Photographer Adi Barakan and reality TV star Liat Blu accused Fines of setting a bad example for teenage girls by showcasing an "extremely flat stomach."

At the time of the earlier controversy, Fines defended herself, questioning the ease with which people make judgments about others' health based on limited visual information and addressing accusations of having an eating disorder. This time, however, Fines has preemptively addressed her health concerns, acknowledging the swelling and seeking medical attention.
