(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Brazilian beauty queen and television host Andressa Urach, 27, has been hospitalised in serious condition after a cosmetic treatment to increase the size of her thighs, medical sources reported.
Urach on Tuesday underwent a surgical procedure and remains sedated in the intensive care unit at Conceicao Hospital in Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul state, according to the latest medical bulletin.
A spokesman for the model said that doctors performed a "cleaning" procedure at the site on her leg where Nov 21 she underwent an operation to remove a product called hydrogel, which she had had injected five years ago to increase the size of her upper legs.
