Six years ago, the influencer gained online fame following a remarkable transformation, during which she underwent weight loss surgery.
In more recent times, Mila, originally from Brazil but residing in Boston, USA, had been grappling with psoriasis since July of the previous year.
During that period, she expressed, “I’ve been grappling with this situation for three months now, and 80 percent of my body is affected.”
“Balancing appointments with doctors, various medications, applying ointments, and just taking a deep breath.”

Recently, Mila pondered upon her journey of losing weight.
In November, she marked the six-year anniversary of her surgery by sharing two side-by-side snapshots that showcased her incredible transformation.
Her caption read: “Thirteen years spanned between these two photos.”
“Six years have passed since a decision that profoundly altered various aspects of my life.”
“On one side, the 22-year-old Mila; on the other, the 35-year-old Mila.”
“Reflect on how much we’ve evolved, the growth we’ve experienced, and the lessons we’ve learned.”
“Proud, girl, be proud.”
A mere two weeks ago, the influencer shared a post on Instagram to welcome the new year.
“Ready to embrace the best year of our lives thus far… 2024, I waited eagerly for you!” she expressed.
