A model, who is famous for entering Brazil’s Miss Bumbum-competition, is in a ‘serious condition’ after trying to remove gel from her thighs, which had been previously injected for cosmetic purposes.
The surgery wounds of Andressa Urach, 27, became infected following a second operation to drain her thighs.

According to the model’s mother she is currently being sedated.
Ahead of the 2012 Miss BumBum, which she came second in, she reportedly had two types of ‘body fillers’ injected.
The products, known as hydrogel and PMMA, were inserted into her upper legs to fill out the thighs and lift her bottom.

Early in July the model discovered the said-products were causing her leg muscles to rot leaving her in ‘excruciating pain’.
In an interview with Brazil's R7 website, she said: “The hydrogel was not absorbed by my body and started to harm me. Now I've discovered that the PMMA is sticking to my muscles and causing the tissue to rot.
“That's why I am feeling such strong pains. I'm taking morphine every four hours and antibiotics to alleviate the suffering.”
She underwent an operation, to drain her thighs, in July but continued to complain of discomfort and pain.
On Saturday she was rushed to Concoeicao Hospital in Porto Alegre with an infection in her left leg, followed by two drainage procedures on Sunday and Monday, which were both allegedly unsuccessful.
