A Brazilian model who shot to fame after winning Miss Bumbum 2014 has had surgery to return her to being a virgin so she can once again enjoy her first time with 'someone special'.
Earlier this year, Indianara Carvalho, 22, triumphed in Brazil's annual bottom beauty contest, which sees 27 women - one from each state - complete to prove their backside is best.
Miss Carvalho's new look, which she hopes will garner the controversial Bumbum title 'some respect', will be revealed in racy new pictures set to be released on Christmas Day.

Like a virgin: Indianara Carvalho, aka Miss Bumbum 2014, has surgically restored her virginity
The model, who says she wants to use her newly virginal status to find love, had 'vaginal rejuvenation surgery' which includes a hymenoplasty.
The procedure, which is not available in the UK, can be done by using surgical gel to create a new hymen that lasts a few days before dissolving or more permanently by using a flap of skin cut from the vaginal wall.
Women undergoing the latter treatment must abstain from sex for at least three months after undergoing the procedure.
Speaking about her surgical plans, Miss Carvalho said: 'I wanted to undergo surgery to reconstruct my virginity before I have new photographs done.
'I wouldn't feel good about appearing naked if I wasn't exactly as I came into the world if you know what I mean.

Respect: Miss Carvalho says she hopes her dramatic move will encourage people to respect the winners
'I think I also want to give a bit of respect and new concept to the Miss Bum Bum title by being a virgin.'
Although the model recently flew to the beach resort of Punta Cana to take part in a risque bikini shoot, her new post-surgery photos will be kept under wraps until Christmas.
Miss Bum Bum, which began four years ago and has several spin-offs, is an annual institution in its native Brazil, although not always without controversy.
The 2014 contest was marred by scandal after it was alleged that Miss Carvalho had bribed the judges with over £70,000 in cash to make sure she won.
Claudia Alende, better known as the Brazilian 'Megan Fox', won second place in the competition even though she was a clear favourite among the audience.
The previous year, a pair of contestants, Mari Sousa, 25, and Eliana Amaral, 24, were also accused of paying bribes, although the 2013 title was eventually won by Dai Macedo.

The tiny boy survived his ordeal and was discovered lying on his back in a shallow pool of water when emergency services lifted the cover off the drain
A newborn baby flushed down the toilet by his mother was rescued after a passer-by heard his cries from a sewer.
The tiny boy, nicknamed Xiaoxiao, has proved to be a Christmas miracle after he survived the ordeal.
Rescuers took the cover off the sewer in China’s Shaanxi Province to reveal the newborn lying on his back in a small pool of water.
Suide County fire department squad leader Li Zhi said: "It was really a race against time because somebody could have flushed something down the sewer again at any stage, or the baby might have turned over and ended up face first in the filthy water and drowned.
"But we didn't want to smash the pipe because we thought that might also hurt or even kill the baby. So we had to use a mixture of tools in order to ease him towards the opening and then pull him out.
"He still had the umbilical cord attached and it had obviously been clumsily cut."

The baby miraculously survived the ordeal unhurt and he is not expected to suffer any complications as a result of his introduction to the world
Police said they had started a search for the mother of the child and added that it was not the first time that an unwanted baby had been abandoned in such a way.
They have appealed for help in tracking down the mother who may need medical help but have also warned that she will face legal charges if found.
Meanwhile, the newborn was taken to hospital where after being cleaned and fed he was was announced to be perfectly healthy.
Staff said they did not expect him to suffer any complications as a result of his introduction to life.
Attending physician Li Zhiping said: "The child survived the ordeal surprisingly unscathed. I can't think of any similar case where a child survived being effectively flushed down the toilet."
The child, nicknamed Xiaoxiao by his rescuers, is being taken care of by members of the fire department who have volunteered to be his temporary parents while an investigation begins to determine how Xiaoxiao ended up the sewer.
A mum-of-five has revealed she eats an entire LOO ROLL every day.
Jade Sylvester, 25, developed a craving for clean toilet paper during a recent pregnancy and now eats as much as entire loo roll's worth every day.
She first developed the bizarre snacking habit while she was expecting her youngest son Jaxon.
Jade, of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, said: "Two months into the pregnancy, I started craving toilet roll. I still don't know why.
"I like the feeling of the texture in my mouth, rather than the taste. I like the dryness.
"My family tell me it isn't very good for me - but I can't help it."

Paper chase: Jade is just roll-ing with her habit
Despite giving birth to her son more than 15 months ago, Jade still cannot tear herself away from the paper snack whenever nature calls.
The full-time mum waits until she needs to go to the toilet and while there will eat a few sheets of toilet tissue in private. She chews and swallows one roll a day.
"While I was pregnant I went to the loo and looked at the toilet roll and thought 'I have to eat that' - I know it sounds silly.
"Today I try and hold off going to the bathroom because I know if I go I will eat the paper.
"I usually eat around eight pieces per visit - sometimes I go to the bathroom just to get some toilet roll.
"It does fill me up quite a bit. At first I used to eat a couple of squares at a time, but I keep eating more and more."
Jade said her favourite types are the supermarket-own brands, rather than more expensive products like Andrex.
She said: "Different brands taste different. I have one roll in the bathroom for eating and one to be used normally."
Miss Sylvester has struggled to kick the habit since giving birth.
She said: "I thought the cravings would stop after I gave birth but they haven't. I can't quit. I keep coming back for more.
"It can't be doing my insides any good, but it hasn't caused me any health problems or any illness."
Jade has five children - four boys called Billy, eight, Mayson, six, Harrie, five and Jaxon, one, and a daughter called Harlow, five.
She said: "I try to hide it from my kids, if they spot me eating toilet roll they tell me off.
"If my daughter sees me she says, 'spit it out Mummy, spit it down the toilet'."
Laura Pahomova, 23, was distraught after former client Martin Riley emailed her family back in Latvia telling them about her escort work, a court heard
Tragic: Laura described her work as an escort as "posh prostitution" to a friend
A model jumped seven floors to her death from a hotel filled with Labour Party delegates after a spurned lover told her family about her double life as an escort.
Laura Pahomova, 23, scrawled notes in lipstick and eyeliner over the walls, mirrors and furniture of a plush 13th floor apartment room claiming former client Martin Riley had driven her to suicide.
She was found on the sixth floor balcony of the Light Aparthotel in Manchester in September 2012 and pronounced dead at the scene.
Earlier, Laura had sent her father back in Latvia a text message saying "You deserve a better daughter."
A number of Labour delegates were in the hotel at the time for the party conference which was being held over the weekend.
Det Sgt Cheryl Morrell, from Greater Manchester Police, told an inquest how she found notes "blaming" Laura's on-off boyfriend Mr Riley for her distress in the hotel room.
Manchester Coroner's Court heard how Mr Riley had contacted Laura's family back in Latvia revealing that she was not enrolled in university, as they believed, but working as an online escort.

DS Morrell said: "In the room there were a number of pieces of writing in English written in lipstick or sometimes eyeliner on the walls, mirrors and furniture.
"Obviously she was distressed and she was blaming Mr Riley for that and apologising to her family saying Mr Riley had drove her to what she was about to do.
"She was concerned about her family and at least one interpretation was that she was going to kill herself."
The court heard how Laura arrived in the UK in 2008 and initially worked worked in factories and studied, before settling in a small flat in Blackburn, Lancs.
She began a brief modelling career but in 2011 became embroiled in escort work, which she described to a close friend as 'posh prostitution', the court was told.
She would meet men in hotels and at their homes, and in July of that year met Martin Riley, now 30, who met her on the McKenzie's Escorts website.
She maintained to her family back home in Latvia that she was choosing between university courses and was doing well in the UK, the inquest was told.
Laura and Mr Riley began a relationship during which they holidayed together and he even met her family in Latvia, it was said.
But the affair seemed to deteriorate and in a police interview following Laura's death, Mr Riley said he hadn't seen her between February and September 25, 2012.
He told officers he then went hunting for Laura on different escort sites.
He eventually came across her profile where she was calling herself 'Poppy', and made an appointment to see her under the false name of 'Mike' at a hotel in Salford, Manchester.
When they met up that evening, Laura was said to be distressed and shocked and he was made to leave immediately.
Scene: Labour Party delegates were staying at the hotel at the time of the tragedy
The following day Mr Riley sent an email to Laura's step-mother and father, telling them how she was working as an escort rather than studying and she needed to go back to Latvia to get help, the court heard.
Mr Riley later told police that he didn't want Laura to know about the email as she had explicitly said that she would commit suicide if her family found out about her lifestyle.
When she was told by Mr Riley that her family knew about her work, Laura checked into the Aparthotel, asked for a room in an 'elevator position', so she could 'take photos'.
Laura, who described Mr Riley as a "stalker", had threatened suicide if her family found out what she was doing but Mr Riley told police he informed her loved ones to help her, evidence the court heard was "contradictory."
She sent a group text messages to each member of her family including one to her father which read: "I'm worth nothing... you deserve a better daughter''
Mr Riley visited Laura at the hotel on September 28 while the messages were going back and forth between him and Laura and her family, and she then extended her say. Two days later she was dead.
When interviewed by police, Mr Riley described Laura being in a 'fragile state', after he told her parents about her escort work, the court heard.
DS Morrell said: "He said he had genuine worries she could do something very bad to herself and is capable of doing so.
"He said he sent the messages to get her back to Latvia to help her get support. He said he was hoping to get her vital support. It didn't ring true.
"He said on Saturday September 29 they went out for something to eat and went back to the hotel.
"She was fluctuating - ok and then unhappy - and she said she was going to kill herself and he left her at 2am when she had fallen asleep. He didn't alert anybody - the ambulance or the police - to the situation."

Mr Riley was initially arrested as a suspect after Laura's death but no charges were brought against him as there was "insufficient evidence" for a prosecution, the court heard.
Attempts were made to track Mr Riley down so he could give evidence at today's inquest, but his mother who lives in Blackley, Manchester, told a private detective that he is abroad and won't be returning in the near future.
The court heard that Mr Riley had a previous conviction for the harassment of another escort years previously.
In that case, the pair also began a 'relationship' before he threatened to tell her family about her work and she threatened to harm herself if he did.
Laura's father Janis Vinters told the inquest his daughter would go back and forth quite regularly between Latvia and England, but when she met Mr Riley the visits and contact became less frequent - which was unusual.
Speaking through an interpreter, he said: "On September 27 my wife Diana told me that she had received an email from Martin Riley actually saying what Laura was doing in England was not a university student but working as an escort.
"Mr Riley provided details of how her services could be obtained over the internet. My wife and and I were very shocked and surprised to receive this information and wanted to get Laura back home to safety as quickly as we could. We had no idea this was her life. This was a new thing."
On September 29, Mrs Vinters received another email from Mr Riley which said that Laura knew her parents were aware of the situation, and she now felt she couldn't return home.
After sending the group text, Mr Vinters immediately replied offered to pay for her flights to come back home, she replied: "No, I have a ticket. I'm thinking about the family. You deserve a better daughter."
Reaching a conclusion of suicide, coroner Nigel Meadows said: "It seems Mr Riley had been researching the internet to identify her and did so.
"For reasons only he will understand, he decided to contact the family to make disclosures about her lifestyle when she clearly had not wished him to do that.
"It is clear from the writing she was very distressed. This is a very sad and tragic loss of a young life and I am sure that Mr Vinters and the rest of the family would have welcomed Laura back home to a place of safety irrespective of whatever lifestyle she may have been adopting."
A doctor said it was "less than ideal" to treat pancreatitis patient Lindsay Swanson, 34, while she was suffering from head lice, an inquest heard
Fears: Doctors said operating while Lindsay had head lice risked her getting an infection
A mum-of-three died after medics cancelled two vital operations because she was suffering NITS, an inquest has heard.
Lindsay Swanson, 34, had been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis caused by gall stones and was told she would have them removed within six weeks, a court heard.
But surgeons twice refused to carry out the operation because Lindsay was suffering head lice.
Dr Clare Brown, who was a senior surgeon at Leicester General Hospital in 2013, said: "It is less than ideal to operate on somebody with severe lice infestation."
She said that the condition could lead to the scalp of the patient having microscopic lacerations from scratching which could lead to infection.
Lindsay's distraught partner Lee Dunning told the inquest: "The doctors told us they were not going to operate because Lindsay had head lice.
"She was very upset."

Cancelled: Operations at Leicester General Hospital were twice put off
"We went home. I treated her hair and it started to fall out. She was not well at all and going downhill slowly."
Assistant coroner Lydia Brown heard that that Lindsay was admitted to Leicester General Hospital with severe abdominal pains in October 2012.
Mr Dunning said it was not until February 2013 - by which point Lindsay's weight had dropped by more than eight stone - that his partner went to the hospital ahead of surgery due the day after.
Dr Yazdiwe, who worked in the pre-operative assessment unit, said Ms Swanson was not having the surgery as she had head lice and they had concerns over her faster than normal heart beat.
She said they wanted to discuss the matter with Lindsay's GP but that she refused to give them permission.
On April 1, Lindsay was taken to hospital by ambulance and tragically died on June 6.
Pathologist Lawrence Brown found the cause of death as multi-organ failure caused by pancreatitis - an inflammation of the pancreas.

The inquest also heard from Matthew Metcalf, a consultant gall bladder surgeon at Leicester General Hospital, who said Lindsay was one of the 20 percent of people in the high risk category who suffer severe pancreatitis.
He said: "Half of those 20 percent die and she was one of those.
"I don't think there was anything that could have been done that would have affected the outcome."
He said it was the correct procedure for the hospital to have kept Lindsay in for a week after she was admitted with abdominal pains back in October 2012.
She was treated for pain and after a scan showed she had gall stones, she was given painkillers and discharged.
Metcalf said that there was no cure for severe pancreatitis and all that could be done in cases like Lindsay's is help them be comfortable and as pain-free as possible.
