The model who lost both legs and has now reappeared is Lauren Wasser. She is a renowned model and activist who lost her legs due to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a rare but life-threatening condition linked to tampon use.
After losing her right leg in 2014 and later her left leg, Lauren embraced her prosthetics, famously designing them with gold, turning her disability into a symbol of power, resilience, and beauty.
Lauren has not only reemerged in the fashion world but also become a strong advocate for disability awareness and TSS education. She continues to inspire millions by sharing her journey of survival, strength, and activism, promoting safer products and transparency regarding women’s health issues. Her story is one of overcoming immense tragedy and redefining beauty and strength on her own terms.
Other inspirational women who lost legs and made comebacks include Heather, who lost both legs in a freak accident but now actively participates in sports and activities with prosthetics, and Jennifer Barlow, who lost a leg to a deadly infection and returned to yoga and daily life.
