A woman in the United States with a rare condition that left her with a leg that weighs 100 lbs is embracing her uniqueness as a model.

According to Bright Side, Mahogany Geter, a resident of Tennessee, was born with a condition known as lymphedema that causes excess fluids to collect in the soft tissue of the body and lead to swelling. For Geter, her entire left side of the body is impacted by this, but only her leg is the most visible.

Geter was diagnosed with the condition right after she was born, and it made it extremely difficult for her to walk.

The condition makes her more susceptible to contracting fibrosis, and the only way to manage it is through physiotherapy and massages to drain the excess fluid in her leg.

But Geter’s life changed in 2017 when she was spotted by a photographer while she was working at Walmart.

Initially thinking it was fake, the young woman eventually agreed to let the photographer take pictures of her.

“I was like, ’I’m getting older now, maybe it’s time I start putting my full body out there,’ and hopefully me doing that can help somebody else,” she said.

This one opportunity catapulted Geter’s career as a model. Following this, she was featured in a viral YouTube video that amassed over 10 million views.

Her presence on Instagram and other social media platforms has also increased.

“Mainly, I’ve gotten a lot of positive responses, and the ones I like the most are that it helps people that also feel low about themselves,” she said.
