After 72 surgeries, he had one last strange request – but the doctor said ‘I can’t do it’ and refused the operation

It’s common to hear about individuals getting cosmetic surgery to alter features like their nose, breasts, or lips, or just to enhance their facial glow.

But Jessica Alves, who was once known as Rodrigo Alves, took this to a whole new level by changing her appearance into that of a human Barbie doll.

Feeling unhappy with how you look is totally normal. Whatever path you choose, always keep in mind that you are beautiful and can do amazing things no matter what others think.

While some people choose plastic surgery for specific changes in their looks, Jessica Alves completely changed her entire appearance.

Jessica Alves – Transition

Let’s dive into Jessica’s story. In an early 2020 interview with The Mirror, she revealed she was transgender.

“I’m known as Ken, but inside I’ve always felt like Barbie,” the now 36-year-old shared. “I finally feel like the real me. Glamorous and feminine.”

From then on, she goes by Roddy and uses “she” and “her” pronouns.

Came Out as Transgender

Jessica got hormone treatments to make her hips more feminine. Along with blonde hair extensions and fake eyelashes, she also wears a D-cup bra now too! She announced in July that she’d be called Jessica.

“For years I tried living my life as a man. I had fake muscles put in my arms, but I was lying to myself,” she explained. “I’m a woman at heart.”

Over the years, Jessica appeared on Celebrity Big Brother back in 2018; last year she released a song with Italian surgeon Giacomo Urtis called Plastic World! Plus, she’s got over one million followers on Instagram and used to work as an air hostess.

Jessica Alves – Childhood

Born on July 30, 1983, in São Paulo, Brazil, to a British father and Brazilian mother, Jessica (formerly Rodrigo) had dolls bought for her by her grandfather when she was young, so she could dress them however she liked!

Some would say a good idea for any child is not having to fit into norms set by society but rather doing what feels right.

This led to Alves’ obsession with dolls, which showed through clearly!

“Growing up, I was very girly and played with dolls while wearing my mum’s dresses,” she said, adding that during her teenage years, she hated how she looked.

“I liked laughing, but it made my nose wide, which bothered me.” Family members often wondered where such an “ugly” feature came from, which pushed her towards fixing it first.

To study at the London School of Economics, she moved there. In 2004, she decided on plastic surgery for the first time, starting an addiction towards altering herself.

“I never felt satisfied after surgeries!” said Jessica.

Dangerous infection

Doctorn wa:rned that the infection could eat through her nose and into her face. Her face could become gangrenous.

“I can’t 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’m hoping surgery can be as soon as possible after that,” Jessica Alves said.

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.
