Miss Bumbum 2014 Contestant Andressa Urach Back to Work After Leg Infection [Pics]
Andressa Urach, the Brazilian woman who competed in Miss BumBum in 2012, has been recovering from her near-death experience and is getting back to work.
Urach had fillers in her thigh that were rotting and landed her in the hospital. She ended up with holes in her legs. (See the graphic images here.)
On Wednesday, Urach was back at work posing for popular Brazilian brand Desagi, according to Globo. One of the looks featured Urach in a jumper, for which she had to have her legs still covered in bandages. Urach was joined by her son, who took pictures of her as the shoot went on.
"I'm happy to return to work, especially accompanied by my son," she said to Globo. "The hard part is stopping at each change of look to rest because due to the drains, I cannot stay standing for long. But the most important thing is being able to work and thanking God for this new opportunity."
Urach said she is 95 percent cured from the infection.
The model has previously shown love to Desagi on her Instagram account. About three months ago, she wore a top by the brand.
Urach previously told the Daily Mail that she actually died while doctors worked to remove the fillers from her body.
"I knew that I'd left my body and died," she said in January. "I arrived in an empty place, like a desert, completely silent. That's when I knew that God exists. I felt his presence. I knew I was at the judgment. My life flashed before me like a film. I felt ashamed and knew I wasn't worthy to enter heaven. I asked for forgiveness and begged for another chance, promised to make amends."
