  • Andressa Urach In ICU Due To Botched Butt Implant

    Andressa Urach, runner up in the 2012 ‘Miss Bumbum’ pageant in Brazil, was hospitalized Saturday, due to a botched procedure intended to enhance her buttocks and thighs.

    Urach, 27, is said to be in “serious condition” in a hospital in the southern city of Porto Alegre. The Brazilian ingenue developed an infection following a procedure to remove a gel-like substance which was injected into her thighs. The television presenter is presently on a ventilator, and is sedated.

    The offending substance, hydrogel, is legal in Brazil in small doses, where it is used to increase the size of women’s thighs and buttocks. Urach reportedly had twice the recommended dose injected into her legs.

    A hydrogel is a network of polymer chains which are highly absorbent, and maintain a degree of flexibility similar to natural tissue, due to their significant water content. Urach also opted to be injected with another substance called PMMA, a transparent thermoplastic, which is used as a shatter-resistant alternative to glass.

    Urach began feeling the effects of the products in July, and commented, “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.”

    Urach’s mother posted a message to the model’s Facebook fan page Wednsday- “I am certain because of my faith in God that she is going to be cured. I thank all of you from my heart and ask you to continue praying, because this is going to be just one more battle and I know my baby is going to come out of this victorious.”

    Brazil’s Miss BumBum competition is a big deal in that country. Last year two contestants were accused of bribing judges.

  • Miss BumBum: Why the Runner-Up Was Hospitalized With a Runny Bum

    Andressa Urach, runner-up of the 2012 MissBumBum Contest, was rushed to the hospital this week after her butt implant leaked causing a serious infection.

    The 27-year-old model previously had two fillers, hydrogel and PMMS, injected into her thighs to make her butt appear to be lifted. Then in July Urach began to feel extreme pain in her legs. Further examination showed that her leg muscles had began to rot under the injected fillers.

    “The hydrogel was not absorbed by my body and started to harm me,” she said. “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.”

    Although Urach underwent surgery to drain 400ml of hydrogel, she still continued to experience pain. Last Saturday she was rushed to Conceicao Hospital in Porto Alegre and went into septic shock on Tuesday. Urach is currently in “serious” condition in the intensive care unit.

    Jessica Lopes, Urach’s flatmate, told MailOnline, “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.”

    The butt implant was only one of nine cosmetic surgeries that Urach had undergone in the past five years. Others included breast implants, jaw reduction, liposuction, vaginal lip reduction, a nose job, and bioplasty facial correction.

    Urach’s mother, Marisete De Favari, hasn’t left her daughter’s bedside and is asking fans to keep praying.

    “A beautiful, intelligent woman, a girl full of dreams, who has fought to get where she is, who never gave up even though nothing was easy, who just wants the best for her family, a girl who fears God,” Favari wrote on her Facebook page. “For this, I am certain, by by faith, that she will be cured. Thank you all from the heart and I ask that you keep praying, because this will be one more fight and my baby will come through it victorious.”
