A model who was the runner-up in the Brazil's Miss BumBum competition – a contest to find the country's best derriere – was rushed back to the hospital because of an infection in her buttock implant, the Daily Mail reported.

Twenty-seven-year-old Andressa Urach had already spent a month in intensive care after fillers "rotted" her muscles and had to be removed, the newspaper recalled. At the time, the model said she feared to lose her legs because of the life-threatening infection.

This time, Urach said she needed to undergo emergency surgery to remove the substances from her left butt cheek. She was hospitalized after waking up with a huge inflammation, the 2012 Miss BumBum competitor said.

"I am suffering a lot, but God is with me," Urach told the Daily Mail. "It's my fault, my vanity made me push the limits. Thanks to God I no longer need my body to work, now I work with honor and can sustain my family like that. I prefer to have legs and be able to walk and lose half a buttock than to die," she added.

São Paulo's Alvorada Hospital, where the television personality is being treated, told Brazil's Globo TV channel that Urach could not be released for the time being. She was able, however, to use her Instagram account to comment on her situation, O Diário de S.Paulo noted.

"Yesterday I felt heavy pains and came to the (hospital) to have some tests done," Urach wrote. "I am in the hospital's best room, and they are taking very good care of me."

But the former Miss BumBum runner-up admitted she was still worried about the critical situation she had experienced last July when 400 milliliters of hydrogel had drained from each of her upper thighs.

"A movie played in my head of all the suffering and pain through which I already passed," Urach added. "I will not allow another surgery!"

Urach's mother, Marisete De Favari, meanwhile, had asked the fans for their support, the Daily Mail noted.

"I would ask for prayers from friends and people who wish for the recovery of my daughter," De Favari wrote on Twitter.
