The Brazilian Miss BumBum model left fighting for her life after botched thigh injections has spoken for the first time about her agony - and how she believes it is 'punishment from God' for her obsession with her looks and 'stupid vanity'.

Andressa Urach, 27, claims she died and 'met with her maker' after septic shocked caused her vital organs to fail - and that she believes she has been given a second chance to make amends and right the 'errors' she had made in her life.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline the beauty - now a Brazilian TV host - sobbed as she told how she had been 'born again' after surviving the terrifying ordeal which even her doctors feared she wouldn't get through alive.

And the model, once considered one of Brazil's most beautiful females, vowed to spend the rest of her life alerting other women to the dangers of drastic surgery.

Recalling the moment she 'died', Andressa said: 'I knew that I'd left my body and died. 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 judgement.

'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.

'I'll never forget it. Coming face to face with death, I realised that nothing else mattered. Everything I had battled for, my beauty, my bags, my clothes, my car - I'd left all that behind. It was the moment I realised I was nothing, that we are only here on this world to save our souls.'

She continued: 'I'd give everything to turn back time and do things differently. Nobody knows what I'm going through, I'm in constant agony. I'm still in the middle of a horrible nightmare.

'All this I'm going through is punishment for my stupid vanity.

'I'm ashamed of the holes in my legs, the scars that will be there for the rest of my life. But they are also a trophy that I got through this alive. Now, thanks to God, I'm able to tell other women that vanity isn't everything. If all this serves as an example to warn others of the dangers of these things, to save other women from a premature death, then that was the reason I had to go through it.'

Andressa, a former runner-up in the popular Miss Bumbum beauty pageant, and star of Brazil's version of reality show The Farm, hit headlines last month after chemical fillers injected into her thighs began to rot her body tissue.

Procedures to drain the fillers, hydrogel and PMMA, triggered a life-threatening infection which sent her body into septic shock within hours of being rushed to hospital.

As doctors fought to save her, rumours circulated that both her legs had been amputated, with one news channel even reporting her death, distressing her millions of devoted fans around the country.

Now back home at the apartment she shares with her mother in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, Andressa knows she still has a long battle ahead of her to a full recovery.

The model, who also made international headlines when she claimed she'd had an affair with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, had a further scare last week when she ventured outside for the first time and soon had to be rushed back to hospital in agony to have her wounds drained.

Toll: Andressa told MailOnline: 'The pain is indescribable. It's like my skin and muscles have been ripped to shreds. It's a terrible pain that goes down right to my bones'


Vow: Andressa said that while lying in her hospital she 'knew that I'd left my body and died. I arrived in an empty place, like a desert, completely silent. That's when I knew that God exists. I was at the judgement. I felt ashamed and knew I wasn't worthy to enter heaven. I asked for forgiveness and begged for another chance'

Clearly in constant pain and confined to a wheelchair, Andressa's wounds are still seeping and her bandages have to be changed at least twice a day.

She is taking three antibiotics and prescription-only painkillers, while a hand-held pump collects drainage from tubes inserted into the gaping holes in both her legs.

She told MailOnline: 'I'm paying now for my vanity. I was extremely vain. Everything in search of perfection. But instead of making my body more beautiful I ended up damaging it instead and making it ugly.

'I never thought twice about going under the knife, and when people warned me of the dangers I just thought, "I'll deal with that if it happens". I'd go to the doctor like I go to the supermarket, saying I wanted this, that and the other. I just wanted people to look at me and think, "wow".

'Plastic surgery became an addiction for me. Even when the hydrogel started causing me problems and I began to have it removed, I was there on the surgery table planning the next procedure I wanted.

'I was actually planning to have one of my ribs removed to make me slimmer, and one of my toes removed to make my feet thinner. Can you believe that? That's how out of control it had got. That's why I think what happened to me was God telling me, 'hold on, you need to stop'.

'The pain is indescribable. It's like my skin and muscles have been ripped to shreds. It's a terrible pain that goes down right to my bones. No-one should ever have to go through this.'

Andressa's obsession with her looks began when she was still a child, when she dreamed of being one of the young helpers on children's TV superstar Xuxa's programme.

Her hopes were put on hold when, aged just 15, she married her 17-year-old boyfriend, which whom she had a son, Artur, now aged nine. She studied administration and began working at a marketing firm.

When she separated aged 21, Andressa decided to follow her dream of becoming a famous model and moved to Brazil's biggest city, Sao Paulo.

She said: 'I always considered myself ugly. I was really thin as a teenager, I even got bullied at school for being so bony. I wasn't tall enough to be a catwalk or catalogue model, but I wanted to be famous. It was a time when all beautiful women on TV had curves, big bottoms and thighs. Society dictated to me how I should look if I wanted to be successful.

'I started taking steroids, but they didn't work, so I opted for surgery.'

Over the following few years Andressa went under the knife ten times, having a nose job, a bioplasty facial 'correction', twice having liposuction, two boob jobs, vaginal lip reduction and twice plumping her thighs with gel fillers hydrogel and PMMA.

She remembered: 'I put 250 ml into each thigh, but I didn't think they were big enough so I went back for another 250 ml. I only found out later that you're not supposed to have more than 50 ml. It was a clinic in Rio de Janeiro and the doctor never advised me against it. To be honest, I don't even know if the clinic was legal, I never asked. I just wanted the surgery and wasn't thinking of the consequences.'

The drastic changes to her body seemed to work. Andressa won a competition to be the sexy mascot of Porto Alegre soccer club Internacional, before being invited to work as a glamorous assistant on TV Record's entertainment show Legendarios.

She later became a dancer for Brazilian pop star Latino, and posed naked twice in men's magazine Sexy.

In 2012 her bottom - which she insists has never been tampered with - came second in Brazil's famed rear of the year contest Miss Bumbum, catapulting her to even greater heights of fame. She later starred in one of Brazil's most popular programmes, reality show The Farm, before landing a job as a presenter on the RedeTV channel.

In 2013 Andressa achieved international notoriety when she claimed she had slept with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, 48 hours before a Champions League semi-final, something the Portuguese player has always strenuously denied.

Andressa said: 'After Miss Bumbum everything changed. I was no longer struggling to make a living, I was in demand everywhere. I'd finally made it.'

But things started going wrong at the end of 2013, when Andressa started experiencing sharp stabbing pains in her upper legs.

She recalled: 'The hydrogel hadn't absorbed into my body and instead had started to drip down to the tops of my knees, where a big ball started to form. I had been going to the gym lifting weights and that had caused it to become inflamed.

'I went to two doctors but they refused to touch me, they didn't want to have to correct another surgeon's mistakes. In the end a surgeon friend of the family agreed to help and I started procedures to remove the fillers. I would go every few months and have the amount that had collected above my knee removed, then within weeks it had started to accumulate again.

Unnatural: Andressa went under the knife ten times. She had: a nose job; a bioplasty facial 'correction'; liposuction twice; two boob jobs, vaginal lip reduction and twice plumping her thighs with gel fillers

'I started wearing long skirts to hide what was happening. I didn't want anyone seeing how ugly my legs had become.

'But I imagined I would soon be back to normal. I'd put them in, and it was a simple matter of removing them. Most of the time I was busy planning even more drastic things on my body.'

On November 29 last year, Andressa returned to her apartment from a day on the beach when she suddenly started feeling excruciating pains in her left thigh.

She said: 'Within three hours I was begging for my mum to call an ambulance. The pain was absolutely unbearable. I started to vomit violently and my blood pressure dropped. We couldn't wait for an ambulance so my step-dad had to carry me down to his car and rush me to hospital. The pain was so bad I was becoming delirious.'

Andressa was admitted to the intensive care of the Conceicao hospital in Porto Alegre, but her condition dramatically worsened.

Within just two hours her body had gone into septic shock and her vital organs began to shut down, first her kidneys and then her lungs, and she was put on a life support machine to keep her alive.

She remembered: 'The last thing I remember was feeling bad because there were two old men sat on chairs near me because I'd taken the last bed in the ward. My mum said I needed it more than them. Then I blanked out. I was in a coma for the next three days.'

Andressa went through two emergency surgeries, while doctors pumped her body with saline solution to try to get her kidneys working again. The liquid collected all over her body, bloating her head, limbs and torso to twice its normal size. Privately, though, medics doubted the model would pull through - they later told her that, with only half of people who go into septic shock surviving, they were expecting the worse.

It was during this time that, according to Andressa, she had an out-of-body experience and had an encounter with her creator.

Her eyes welling up with tears again, she recalled: 'I remember it as clearly as day. I was in a place, a vast, empty plain, it was so quiet, and I was alone. I felt that I had died, I knew it. I felt God's presence above me.

'I knew I was at the judgement, but it wasn't God who was judging me, it was me judging myself.

'I felt so ashamed of everything I had done, the way I'd lived my life, the things I had said and the people I had hurt. I didn't feel good enough to go to heaven and I bowed my head, feeling so much shame inside of me.

'I called out to God, begging him to give me a second chance. I asked for forgiveness and asked for him to send me back to life, for the sake of my son. That's when I woke up, back on the hospital bed.

'But it wasn't the end. That night I saw something so horrible, the spirits of death circling me, they were like black clouds but in the form of spirits, I heard screams. One of them was blacker than the others and I knew that was death coming for my soul. I remember panicking and screaming for my mother, begging for her to help me, because I was going to die.'

Churchgoer mum Marisete, who stayed at her bedside through her entire ordeal, called a pastor of her church who prayed over her.

'It was the day God gave me a new chance at life,' Andressa said. 'It was the third of December, and now every year we are going to commemorate my two birthdays, October 11 when I was born, and now December 3 when I was born again.'

But Andressa still wasn't out of the woods, and over the next weeks she became weaker as the drainage sessions she underwent every two days wreaked havoc on her body. Too exhausted to eat, she became anaemic, had to have a blood transfusion and constantly vomited.

She said: 'I remember my mum holding my hand and crying, begging me to eat something and get stronger. She kept saying she was going to lose me, that I was getting worse and not better.

'I was in such a bad state that the doctors warned my mum to not expect me to leave hospital until at least the end of February.

'That's when my second miracle happened. One day, my mum had gone to church and I was alone. I remembered something the pastor had said to me, that I could claim my healing if I really believed. So I prayed to God and claimed that I would be better in seven days.

'I started to get better, surprising all the doctors. And you know what, exactly seven days later I was discharged from hospital and came home.'

It is the belief that God cured her for a reason that Andressa says is keeping her strong, despite the pain.

She said: 'Not everyone has been nice. I've had a lot of people trolling, saying horrible things, saying they wished I had died and one picture comparing my legs to swiss cheese. But actually I'm not bothered at all. People can say what they like, only I know what I've been through and what really happened to me.

'I'm only not looking at social networking sites because it makes me depressed to see all my friends living their lives. I got depressed at the beginning, having to stay indoors for so long, and I had to take medicine to calm me down. But now I'm just concentrating on my recovery, knowing I have to be patient and take one day at a time.'

But one of the first things Andressa did when she left hospital was to ask for forgiveness to everyone she had hurt or fallen out with.

'I was guilty of being vain and arrogant. I would open my mouth without thinking, and sometimes I would end up hurting people. Sometimes I would hurt people just by the way I was. I realise I have to reeducate myself to be a different, better person. That was the first step, to make amends with everyone I'd ever fallen out with.'

With so much self-reflection, does she regret her famous claim to have slept with Cristiano Ronaldo, taken by many as a publicity stunt in her desperate hunt for fame? Coincidentally, as we speak Andressa's son Artur is wearing a No 7 'Ronaldo' Manchester United shirt.

'If it weren't true, I wouldn't lie to you now and tell you it was. It happened, yes. But I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm more worried about my own life, I don't want to bother him any more.'

Ronaldo has vehemently denied the claim, dismissing it as 'fiction and forgery'.

Most importantly of all, Andressa - who will return to her TV presenting job as soon as she is fully fit - has vowed to never again go under the knife for any reason.

She said: 'I'm in the public eye, so people heard about me. But what about all the other women around the world who are dying because of cosmetic surgery and nobody gets to hear? How many women have injected themselves with these substances believing they need to conform to a certain image, and ended up dead? Personally I think the person who invented them needs to be thrown into prison.

'Please, ladies, don't do it. It's a poison you're putting into your body, something you are risking your whole life for. It's not worth it. Believe me, I found out the hard way.'
