Doctors feared they would have to amputate the TV presenter's leg when hydrogel and PMMA fillers she had injected into her behind were removed, triggering a life-threatening infection
Bed-ridden and in agony, this Brazilian model almost died when plastic surgery to plump her rear began to ROT her body tissue.
Miss BumBum runner-up Andressa Urach, who pals describe as a 'slave to beauty' spent a month in intensive care as a string of drastic procedures took their toll.
Doctors feared they would have to amputate the TV presenter's leg when hydrogel and PMMA fillers injected into her behind were removed, triggering life-threatening septic shock.
The 27-year-old, who controversially claimed she bedded Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo , has reportedly undergone at least nine cosmetic procedures in the past five years.
They were said to have included a nose job, a bioplasty facial "correction," jaw reduction, breast enlargement, liposuction and even vaginal lip reduction.
r prized rear won her the runner-up title in the 2012 Miss BumBum contest, after the model turned to drastic measures to make it appear more round and plump.
But in July she dashed to medics to complain of discomfort and had 400ml of hydrogel drained from each of her upper thighs.
She told Brazil's R7 website at the time: "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.
Despite the operation, the pain continued in November she was taken to the Conceicao Hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil, with an advanced infection of her left leg.
She underwent two unsuccessful drainage procedures, according to reports, before suffering from septic shock and being placed in intensive care.
Her mother Marisete De Favari used her daughter's Twitter account to tell 220,000 followers to pray she would pull through.
"I would ask for prayers from friends and people who wish for the recovery of my daughter," she wrote on December 10.
"She's starting to walk, put her foot down and sit.
"After all this time lying down, she expected it would be painful.
"She has been taking morphine since entering the hospital, but now they are taking the drugs away from her gradually.
"As she had sepsis, healing will be slow, because it has to happen in a natural way so that it is not subject to a new infection.
"This takes time and she is assisted by doctors all the time.
"She has had no contact with anyone but the doctors and her mother.'
The model added on December 26: "My loves, thank you for the affection and chains of prayers.
"God is great and is taking care of me."
Miss Urach dramatically claimed she had an affair with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, something the Portuguese player has always strenuously denied.
She said the footballer slept with her in a hotel just 48 hours before a Champions League semi final which his team lost 4-1 to German side Borussia Dortmund.
Ronaldo used his Facebook page to say he was "deeply outraged".
Brazil overtook the U.S. in 2013 to become the most prolific plastic surgery nation in the world.
Fellow Miss BumBum contestant Jessica Lopes, who shared a flat with Ms Urach, said last year: "Andressa and I would go to the plastic surgeon as if we were going shopping.
"Sometimes we would agree to do some procedure together, we were not afraid.
"We were slaves to beauty."
