TikTok star Sopha Dopha reveals shock new look after surgery: 'Feels like I've been hit by a bus'
The TikTok star, 21, posted photos and videos to her social media accounts, documenting the process of having her four wisdom teeth removed.
However, the influencer appeared to have some uncomfortable side-effects following the gruelling procedure, including very severe swelling around her jaw.
Sopha posted a lengthy video of her experience, in which she shared footage of herself crying after she was given strong pain medication before the procedure.
Sopha cuddled up with her mother at the dentist, saying she was anxious and the drugs she was given 'made my legs shake uncontrollably'.
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the.
'Mum had to lay on them to keep them still,' she added.
'Around five minutes in, I had my first ever panic attack. I think it was from all the adrenaline and all of a sudden I couldn't read because of the medication.
'They calmed me down quickly and then kept going with the procedure. I blasted music through my sound proof headphones and 30 minutes later, I was done.
'I was super upset and just so out of it from the drugs. I was pretty traumatised from my body shaking and my mini panic attack.'
Sopha went on to say her mother drove her back home where she had the 'scary' experience of trying to swallow her first round of antibiotics.
Footage saw her tipping her head back as she struggled to get down several pills.
The influencer tried to keep her recovery as relaxing as possible as she stayed in bed icing her face while watching Modern Family with her boyfriend Simon Collis.
It took another six hours before Sopha attempted to eat, saying she was 'scared' of doing something wrong and had to call her doctor for advice.
Eventually, Sopha showed footage of herself eating small amounts of yoghurt from a satchel she could squeeze onto the back of her tongue to avoid her teeth.
Sopha then said the following morning was the worst as she 'woke up with my head throbbing' at about 6am because she was 'overdue' on her pain medication.
'I think I got three hours of sleep all broken up,' she said.
Sopha later shared selfies to Instagram, showing her jaw had swollen to twice its size as she attempted to use an iced chin strap to make it go down.
'Not in any severe pain just extreme discomfort and my face is super sore, feels like I've been hit by a bus and I can't eat anything besides yoghurt,' she said.
Sopha's dental surgery comes just a week after she led a group of models in a very eye-catching launch for Léays lingerie last Wednesday.
The influencer and her scantily clad colleagues strutted their stuff alongside Sydney Harbour at sunset, while dressed only in very revealing underwear.
Sophia had tourists' heads spinning as she strolled along in a lacy pink bra and matching panties.
The barely-there outfit was complimented by garters and stockings and was originally covered up under a black coat.
Also in the unusual fashion parade was model Montana Cox who left little to the imagination in a black lace bra and camisole that was largely sheer.
The stunner added a pair of see through socks worn with black heels and had a leather jacket hanging off her arms.
Montana carried a giant paper bag that was emblazoned with the bag's logo as she walked along the busy tourist strip.
The models gathered together to pose for a series of photos with the Harbour Bridge as their backdrop.

Shocking new details emerge about shark attack on Sydney Harbour: 'It was eating me'
Sixteen years after a bull shark tore off his arm and leg in Sydney Harbour, former Navy diver Paul de Gelder is back in shark-infested waters, this time by choice. In a new Discovery series, How To Survive a Shark Attack, de Gelder puts himself in high-risk situations to test survival tactics and educate viewers on how to stay alive during an encounter with one of the ocean's deadliest predators. Viewers will experience real shark attacks up close through a series of never-before-attempted experiments that teach life-saving tactics for surviving an encounter. One experiment shows de Gelder on an upturned kayak with hungry sharks circling underneath. In another exeriment De Gelder straps on fake limbs oozing with blood, then feeds them to real sharks mouths. 'Paul, I just want to go on the record and say that I'm not comfortable with this,' a producer warned off-camera. He insists filming the program wasn't retraumatising and sees himself as a survivor rather than a victim. 'I've lived a pretty tumultuous life, and I don't really look at the bad things that have happened to me as anchor points that I need to latch onto and spiral into depression or have PTSD or anything like that,' he said. Sixteen years ago, on February 11, 2009, de Gelder was taking part in a counter-terrorism military exercise in Sydney Harbour near Woolloomooloo when a nine-foot-long bull shark attacked him without warning. The assault lasted just eight seconds, but it cost him an arm and a leg. 'No one saw the shark coming. It was eating me before everyone knew what was even happening,' he told 'I grabbed it by the nose and I tried to lever it off me, but that did absolutely nothing. 'I tried to punch it off ... but it took me under and started tearing me apart. He pounded the 300kg beast with everything he had as it pulled him under once more, convinced this time it was the end. 'I was drowning in agony, being eaten alive and I realised there was nothing I could do, so I gave up.' Then, in a move he still can't explain, the shark suddenly let go, leaving de Gelder floating in the harbour. Despite the catastrophic injuries, he managed to swim back to the safety boat through a pool of his own blood. Onboard, his colleagues desperately tried to stop the bleeding using T-shirts. 'Then it was thanks to my chief on the wharf, knowing that it wasn't stopping the blood, so he got one of the guys to pinch an artery closed with their fingers,' de Gelder said. 'The surgeon said if he hadn't done that, I would have died within another 30 seconds.' He recalls the surreal moment it all began: 'I was on the surface, on my back, kicking my legs when all of the sudden, I felt this pressure on my leg. I turned around and I came face to face with a massive shark's head. 'And then my survival instincts kicked in and I thought, 'I've got to get out of this somehow.' 'I thought, I've seen Shark Week - I'll jab it in the eyeball. The shark actually had my right hand and I couldn't move it. In his Shark Week special, de Gelder shares his top tips for surviving a shark attack. Some are straightforward, like avoiding murky water or areas with fishing activity, but others might surprise you. One big myth he busts: don't punch a shark in the nose. 'Now, if you're in the jaws of the shark? At that point, you want to do all you can. In that case, I would go for the eyeballs, go for the gills, just fight for your life,' he says. 'But generally speaking, if you see a shark and it does approach you, you do not want to punch it in the nose.' There are two main reasons. First, a shark's head is made of thick cartilage, so punching it can hurt your hand, and bleeding in the water is a bad idea. Second, sharks are faster and more agile underwater than you. That punch could miss or even land your hand in its mouth, making it an easy meal. Now 47, de Gelder says he doesn't view himself as a victim, but a survivor, and he's dedicated his life to protecting sharks in the wild. 'I'm not retraumatised by any of this,' he insists. Shark Week begins Sunday 10 August at 7:30pm on Discovery (Foxtel, Fetch, Binge) and HBO Max. How To Survive a Shark Attack premieres Tuesday 12 August at 7:30pm. How to Survive a Shark Attack premieres Tuesday 12 August at 7.30pm.

Real Housewives of Brisbane star lists stunning six-bedroom mansion
High-profile businesswoman Fleur Madden is set to put her Queensland mansion under the hammer. Madden, who was cast in the axed Real Housewives of Brisbane spin-off, has not listed a price guide for the two-storey, six-bedroom property she shares with her husband, mining executive Jimmy Gwisai. According to sales records, the median sale price for large upscale properties in Coorparoo, where the home is situated, is an impressive $2.5million The couple's property, dubbed The Palms, is inspired by the architecture found in Florida around Palm Springs. Highlights include a dazzling façade, stone archways, a pink blush front door and a private dining room that features a built-in 'wine wall' and spectacular chandelier. There's also a curved staircase, terrazzo tiling, oak timber floors, a beautifully appointed 'media room' and a home office that can double as a bedroom. The ground floor offers an open-plan layout combining an oversized kitchen and living space, which opens out to a covered patio and al fresco dining and pool area. Other highlights include soaring three-metre ceilings and a master suite occupying an entire corner of the top floor, which also features a grand ensuite and dressing room. Impressive 'classic' details are featured prominently in the appointments, including French doors and windows. It comes after Madden, who runs the Ginsburg Advisory business brand, was all set to star in reality spin-off, The Real Housewives of Brisbane. Announced in 2023, Foxtel dropped the Brisbane edition in favour of a second Sydney season. Madden was to feature in a cast including couture designer Sonia Stradiotto and jewellery designer Jimena Alejandra. Speaking to Adelaide Now at the time, Alejandra revealed that she was first approached in 2022. Also interviewed for the story was Madden, who said that the network had plans to make the series different and less frivolous than its predecessors. 'They were specifically looking for businesswomen and women that had their own success, they were trying to make it different,' she told the publication in 2023. It was earlier reported that The Real Housewives reality franchise would be moving to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. According to The Courier Mail, suitable candidates living in Queensland's wealthiest postcodes were being sought out. Producers had approached a number of high-profile women, and some reportedly declined the opportunity, opting to keep their lives private.

Kmart just dropped a $16 accessory with a hidden feature women are OBSESSED with
Shoppers are obsessing over a $16 'essential' item with a hidden feature from Kmart that's perfect for travelling or just going for a 'hot girl walk'. The new black sling bag has landed in stores across Australia - and it's the hidden pocket for storing a water bottle that's winning customers over. The sleek crossbody bag is compact yet spacious, featuring multiple compartments for easy organisation - ideal for daily use, travel and even outdoor hiking adventures. The accessory has many pockets so you can organise and stash essentials such as phone, headphones, wallet and more in easy-to-find places, without having to rummage or pull everything out just to find keys. 'This Kmart sling bag is built for life on the go,' a Kmart employee said in a video. 'Whether you're taking the dog for a walk, crossing things off your to-do list or exploring a new city, this bag has your back 'Just look at how much I can fit in it - and there's still so much space for all of your other must-haves. 'And did we mention this hidden water bottle pouch? Let's just say it's the kind of detail you'll wonder how you lived without.' The video has been viewed more than 90,000 times - with many saying it's the 'perfect walking bag' for storing all their personal belongings. 'I need it,' one said. 'I'm running to Kmart,' another shared. Earlier this week, beauty-obsessed shopper Mya Bertolini found the ultimate budget beauty hack that will save you thousands of dollars per year. She shared her knowledge on on social media, unveiling a $5 bargain that instantly makes nails look like they've just left the salon. Mya revealed she can make the OXX Cosmetics French tip coffin-shaped press-ons from Kmart ($5) last an impressive three weeks - without the price tag or damage of a professional set. 'These used to last me only three days,' she said. 'Now they last me three weeks. They're so good. I will never get acrylics again.' The beauty lover explained that the key to long-lasting results isn't just from the product itself, it's all in the prep too. 'All you're going to need is a nail file and pure acetone,' she said in the clip. 'I got these at a beauty supply store.' Mya began pushing back her cuticles and gently buffing her natural nails. 'You don't want to damage them.' Next came what she says is the most important step - wiping the nails with pure acetone to strip away any oils on the nail plate, which could affect how well the glue sticks. 'It's going to completely get rid of all the oils,' she explained. Once her nails were clean and prepped, she used the glue that came with the Kmart set to apply the press-ons. The final result was a flawless, professional-looking manicure for a fraction of the cost.
