Brazilian influencer Ravena Hanniely faced a shocking experience during a recent photoshoot in Spain when she developed frostbite on her backside. The 24-year-old, known for her daring social media presence, found herself in the emergency room after spending too long in the cold while trying to capture the perfect shot.
Hanniely, a former Playboy model with over 267,000 followers on Instagram, was vacationing with friends at a ski resort in Sierra Nevada. She decided to pose in a bikini despite the frigid temperature of just 14 degrees Fahrenheit. “I wanted to do something memorable, something different,” she explained, noting that she carefully planned the shoot with attention to scenery, lighting, and poses.
However, the cold quickly became too much for her. As she posed for photos, she began losing feeling in her buttocks. Initially, she thought it was manageable, but soon her body started to lock up. “I was freezing my buttocks off,” she recalled. The discomfort escalated to the point where she panicked and rushed to the emergency room.
Doctors informed her that prolonged exposure to extreme cold can lead to localized hypothermia, especially in areas with less blood circulation, which can result in tissue damage in severe cases. According to the Cleveland Clinic, frostbite can occur when temperatures drop below freezing, with symptoms including pain, numbness, and skin discoloration.
Reflecting on the incident, Hanniely admitted that she pushed herself too far for the sake of the perfect shot. She now hopes her experience serves as a warning to others who might be tempted to undertake similar risky stunts without proper preparation. “It looked beautiful, yes, but it was also very dangerous,” she cautioned.
This incident is not the first time Hanniely has made headlines for her bold choices. She previously underwent extensive plastic surgery to enhance her appearance, spending over $51,000 to achieve a look associated with the glamorous wives and girlfriends of athletes.
As she recovers from her frostbite, Hanniely’s story highlights the potential dangers of extreme influencer trends, reminding us that sometimes, the quest for a stunning photo can come with serious risks.
