\nAfter 72 procedures, he had one more bizarre wish \u2013 but doctor declined the surgery, saying \u2018I can\u2019t do it\u2019\n
It\u2019s not unusual to hear about people getting plastic surgery to change features such as their nose, breasts, or lips, or to simply add a bit of radiance to their face.\n
However, Jessica Alves, previously known as Rodrigo Alves, took this to an extreme, transforming her look into that of a human Barbie doll.\n
It\u2019s perfectly normal to feel less than satisfied with your appearance. No matter what you choose to do, always remember that you are beautiful and capable of achieving incredible things, regardless of what others may think.\n
While some opt for plastic surgery to modify specific aspects of their looks, Jessica Alves completely reinvented her appearance.\n
\n
Let\u2019s start the story of Jessica. In an interview in early 2020 with The Mirror, Jessica Alves, born Rodrigo, came out as transgender.\n
\u201cI\u2019m known as Ken but inside I\u2019ve always felt like Barbie,\u201d the 36-year old said. \u201cI finally feel like the real me. Glamorous, beautiful and feminine.\u201d\n
From that day, she goes by Roddy ans use \u201cshe\u201d and \u201cher\u201d pronouns.\n
\n
Jessica received hormone injections to make her hips feminine. In addition to blonde hair extensions and fake eyelashes, she now wears a D-cup bra as well. She announced in July that she would go by the name Jessica.\n
\u201cFor years I tried to live my life as a man. I had a fake six pack put in, I had fake muscles in my arms but I was lying to myself,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m a woman and have always had a feminine brain. Now my body matches my mind.\u201d\n
Through the years Jessica\u2019s been seen on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018, and last year, she release a song with Italian plastic surgeon Giacomo Urtis called Plastic World. In addition, she has over 1 million followers on Instagram and previously worked as a flight attendant.\n
\n
Jessica Alves, former Rodrigo Alves, was born in Sao Paolo, Brazil on July 30th, 1983 to a British father and Brazilian mother. When she was a young child her grandfather bought Jessica dolls, allowing her to dress however she wanted.\n
A good ideal for any child is not having to adapt to norms that might have been set by society and instead doing what feels right, some would argue.\n
This was also the reason for Alve\u2019s obsession with dolls, and she would show the world in what way.\n
\u201cGrowing up, I was very feminine and used to play with dolls and wear my mum\u2019s dresses and heels,\u201d she said, adding that she hated her looks during her teenage years.\n
\u201cI like to laugh, but it used to make my nose very wide. I was very bothered by that. My family members often wondered aloud from whom I had inherited that hideous body part. That was the reason for me to have it addressed first.\u201d\n
Jessica Alves moved to London in order to study at the prestigious London School of Economics. In 2004, she made a decision to undergo a plastic surgery for the first time. That was the start of an addi_ction to alter her physical appearance, and she couldn\u2019t stop.\n
\n
\u201cI was never completely satisfied after an operation, and I still am not,\u201d Jessica said.\n
Now, 20 years later, Jessica has undergone over hundred surgeries.\n
She underwent surgeries for nose jobs, pec implants, botox and fillers, liposuction to jaws and legs, calf shaping, hair transplant, fake six-pack, filler to arms. She also had four ribs removed, and a \u201ccat-eye\u201d lift.\n
Jessica\u2019s spent more than half a million dollars in total on surgeries. Soon, her classmates couldn\u2019t recognize her at all. It was clear that se suffered from morphodysphoria, which is a diagnose in which a person has a disturbed image of his or her own body.\n
From the beginning Jessica Alves, as Rodrigo back then, wanted to become a male version of the Ken doll.\n
However, Jessica Alves\u2019 pursuit of the ideal body hasn\u2019t been far from dangerous. Jessica was hospitalized in April of 2016 with necrosis, meaning her skin began to d!e.\n
A hole started to appear on the nose at the same time as her septum seemed to come loose. At the same time, she had difficulties breathing and had to visit a hospital in Malaga, Spain.\n
According to the Daily Mail, she received antibiotics through an IV drip every eight hours.\n
Doctorn wa:rned that the infection could eat through her nose and into her face. Her face could become gangrenous.\n
\u201cI can\u2019t breathe through my nose and feel terrible. It has collapsed. I have been given an appointment with a consultant in London in six weeks time and then I\u2019m hoping surgery can be as soon as possible after that,\u201d Jessica Alves said.\n
Two years ago, she underwent a chemical peel, involving applying an acid-containing lotion to the face in Spain, according to Daily Mail. After letting it soak through, she was going to peel off the old skin to reveal the fresh skin in place.\n
However, it was not a pleasant experience.\n\u201cIt was fairly painful, and my face looks red now. It feels like burning, she said. Here in Marbella is very sunny and I can\u2019t go out for the next few days unless I have a lot of sun protection.\n
Though Jessica made it out of two scary scenarios, in 2019, following her 11th rhinoplasty. the nose started to collapse. The last surgery was supposed to fix a previous botox procedure.\n
\u201cThe results of this surgery were very pleasing at first but now I am going to have to have another surgery because it is sinking and I am scared, to be honest,\u201d Jessica told the Daily Mail.\n
\u201cEach time is riskier than the last and I\u2019m worried that doctors aren\u2019t going to be able to fix my nose permanently.\u201d\n
Through the years, Jessica has gained plenty of recognition all over the world due to her looks.\n
Though people have different opinions of her chancing her body completely, of course, the most important part is that she feels comfortable and happy.\n
Jessica Alves has always felt that she had female tendencies. But it wasn\u2019t until last year, during a photo shoot, that she made a decision on the transition.\n
\n
\u201cWithin a month I was diagnosed with gender dysmorphic disorder and given the option to start the \u00adappropriate medication to transition,\u201d she told the NY Post in January. \u201cBefore, people looked at me because I looked very androgynous and weird for a man. Now I hope they are looking because they think I am a beautiful woman.\u201d\n
Jessica had her Adam\u2019s apple and six pack removed, and had surgeries including breast enlargement and injections in her knees, hips and feet which cost her around $35 000.\n
Additionally, Jessica also underwent face feminization surgery and female hormones.\n
In July, she explained to the British show This Morning that she still had a couple of things left.\n
\u201cI still need two or three surgeries to complete my transition. Then I swear for good, I\u2019m done with plastic surgery,\u201d she said. \u201cThere is only so much one can take. Every time I go to surgery, yes it\u2019s scary, but it\u2019s what I have to go through to be the person I am. I have to go through all that.\u201d\n
The last surgeries Jessica needs\u2013 now 41 years of age \u2013 to complete her transition is a penile inversion and testicles removed.\n
\u2018I love it and everything that comes with it \u2013 going to nice hair salons and getting my nails, eyebrows and eyelashes done. Buying dresses and high heels and wearing sexy lingerie,\u2019 Roddy, who now lives in London, she said.\n
\n
Jessica\u2019s had nose jobs done in Brazil, Iran, America, Colombia, and in Istanbul. She\u2019s had trouble breathing through her nose and a couple of weeks ago, she had to have an additional nose surgery.\n
Several doctors refused to do the surgery, since they just had no idea what to do. At last, she finally found a doctor in Istanbul who used cartilage from her ear. Now, she can finally breath normal again.\n
On her Instagram page, Jessica Alves shares pictures of her transition and life.\n
She\u2019s been through a lot, but she looks really happy. And in the. end, that is the most important thing!\n
Covered in bandages after FIFTH face lift
\nFast-forwarding to 2024, it appears that TV personality Jessica Alves hasn\u2019t given up on her quest to \u201cenhance\u201d her appearance.\n
As per the Daily Mail, the 41-year-old left a Turkish hospital in October covered in bandages after her fifth facelift. Alves explained that dissolving her previous dermal fillers left her with nearly four inches of loose skin on her face. In order to address this, she underwent a \u201cponytail facelift,\u201d a minimally invasive procedure that uses staples along the hairline to tighten the skin on her face and neck.\n
She was seen in a wheelchair and wearing a headscarf when she was assisted to a waiting car after the procedure. The images quickly went viral, as the scene appeared nothing short of startling.\n
\u201dIf I pinched myself three or tour inches would come off in my hand. It was very elastic, like rubber, so the doctor was able to remove five inches of my skin,\u201d the 41-year-old said.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
