This mom has got it going on.
When Cléo Souza's daughter Alma was born, she not only wanted to get her pre-baby body back, but she also needed to feel like herself again — so she decided to spend several thousand dollars to go under the knife to achieve that.

And despite being grateful for her body because 'it had just brought life into the world – but I also felt discomfort in certain areas, like the sagging skin or my protruding belly button.'

As a result, Souza underwent a breast implant replacement surgery due to increased volume during breastfeeding and a mini-abdominoplasty to correct an umbilical hernia.
'The aesthetics of my abdomen were bothering me and the surgery fixed everything,' the new mom revealed.
'I never did it because of pressure. It was always for me.'
Souza also received several non-invasive treatments, such as Botox and hyaluronic acid injections on her face, and collagen bio-stimulators on both her face and butt.

'I also had PDO threads applied, both the smooth kind, which stimulate collagen, and lifting threads, which work like a mini facelift,' the mom explained.

Dramatic video shows cabin chaos and screams as plane is hit by extreme weather: ‘Like we were caught inside a cyclone'
Dust in the wind-shield? Footage captured the dramatic moment that passengers screamed in panic as their plane was 'swallowed' by a ferocious storm. In the nail-biting clip, passengers can be seen gripping their seats and crying out in terror as the aircraft rocks violently due to the severe turbulence. 'It felt like we were caught inside a cyclone,' one shaken fly-witness told Jam Press while recalling the gritty incident, which occurred aboard a Fly Jinnah flight from Karachi to Lahore in Pakistan on Saturday, May 24. The aircraft was nearing the runway at Allama Iqbal International Airport when it encountered powerful winds and a severe sandstorm. Due to the strong winds and poor visibility, the pilot was forced to abort the landing and head back to Karachi in compliance with air traffic control. One passenger described the harrowing 10 to 12 minutes they were caught in the sandstorm as the 'scariest' moment of their life. 'At first, everything seemed normal,' the flyer recalled to Jam Press. 'But as soon as we touched the ground, the plane was swallowed by a sandstorm. Within seconds, we were airborne again. 'The plane was being thrown around violently; visibility was gone.' This wasn't the only flight impacted by severe weather in the region. In Lahore, at least 22 flights were delayed, diverted or forced to return to their point of departure due to inclement conditions. Sandstorms occur when particles of dust are lifted to great heights by strong and turbulent winds, according to Cloud Atlas. They can cause health issues ranging from respiratory problems to cardiovascular diseases and can also disrupt transportation These walls of sand are particularly prevalent in desert regions like the Middle East.

Woman loves how her 'Ozempic face' looks
One Ozempic user loves how her face looks after losing weight. Although it's become so normalized for people to lose weight using GLP-1 — many are suffering from its bizarre side effects, like 'Ozempic face,' except for a woman named Alejandra Salomon. Salomon noticed a big difference in how her face looked after she took Semaglutide, a compound version of Ozempic, to lose weight for her sister's wedding. 60 pounds lighter. 3 Many Ozempic users complain about their faces looking 'hollowed out' or sagging — but Salomon experienced the opposite. Jam Press/@actuallyal__ While experts will say that Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs '… make the face look much older,' Dr. Patrick Byrne, president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), told The Post. Salomon — who is in her late twenties — feels the opposite. 'My weight loss made me look 10 years younger – no Botox needed,' she told NeedToKnow. While some Ozempic faces are appearing older with sunken cheeks, gaunt eyes and sagging neck skin — that doesn't seem to be the case for Saloman as she's thrilled with how young her face looks. 'It looks like I got jawline filler but really, I lost 60lbs and got in the best shape of my life,' she told NeedToKnow. The 20-something-year-old started taking the weight loss drug '…because my parents thought it would be a good idea to lose 20lbs for my sister's wedding.' 3 'It looks like I got jawline filler but really, I lost 60lbs and got in the best shape of my life,' she told NeedToKnow. Jam Press/@actuallyal__ 'It has without a doubt been the best decision for both my health and confidence,' she said. Salomon doesn't view her slimmed-down face as a bad thing — if anything, she looks at it as a healthy change because she now thinks her once round face was a sign of inflammation. She made sure to mention that although Semaglutide changed her life — it did come with some work. 'It is not an easy solution and is not a magic trick. I started to eat so much protein and switch up my workouts,' she admitted. Salomon said she is no longer on the medication but is still working hard to keep herself healthy. 3 The 20-something-year-old is thrilled with how she looks. Jam Press/@actuallyal__ '…I am no longer on medication, and am maintaining my weight!' Aside from the Ozempic face change, another alarming side effect from the weight loss drug is 'Ozempic teeth.' Those who use the GLP 1 might have experienced dental issues — such as dry mouth, bad breath and gum disease. 'Ozempic might reduce saliva production, diminishing the mouth's natural ability to cleanse teeth' — which can cause serious damage to one's teeth,' Dr. Michele Green told the Daily Mail. 'Saliva is crucial for protecting teeth, as it helps remove food particles, neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth and provides essential minerals that strengthen tooth enamel,' the expert said.
