Cosmetic surgery disasters: Here’s why you shouldn’t get work done overseas

Rodrigo Alves, also known as the “Human Ken Doll”, recently shared her stunning transition into a woman with the world.

After shortening her birth name to “Roddy” for the last six months, the Brazilian-born cosmetic surgery addict has finally announced her female name – Jessica.

Her new name announcement came during an appearance on British breakfast show where the 36-year-old told the hosts she was “never Ken” but was always “Barbie”.

“I was very unhappy and I either had the transition or die. It was one or the other,” she said.

“I still need two or three more surgeries to complete my transition, and then I swear I will be done with plastic surgery – there is only so much one can take.”

Jessica revealed she has spent £55,000 ($A99,500) on “feminisation” surgery and said she has hopes of having a baby.

“I would like to have a child and like to have a baby,” she said.

“Over the years I have been playing a character and being a man and I tried my best to be a male. After all, I was born in this body as a male.”

Jessica first opened up about being a transgender woman in January when she showed off her stunning transformation.

Despite being previously known for her likeness to a Ken doll, she said that response to her transition had been positive and she had been asked on lots of dates.

“I finally feel like the real me. Glamorous, beautiful and feminine,” she told The Mirror at the time.

She also described her life as living like a “caterpillar” for 36 years but said “now I am a butterfly and I am ready to fly” in an Instagram post.

Jessica, who now lives in London, shot to fame because of her love of cosmetic enhancements that began at 17, having had more than 100 procedures and spending over $1 million.

As part of her transition, doctors removed her fake six-pack and ­inserted it into her bum for a bum lift. She’s since gone on to have her Adam’s apple removed, had recently detailed further surgery on her bum that cost $54,000.

Jessica is also taking female hormones and has long blonde hair extensions and “face feminisation” surgery as well as a breast enlargement.

Viewers of the UK TV show afterwards took to Twitter to praise Jessica for her transition but also shared their concern.

Jessica was born Rodrigo Alves in Brazil in 1983 and moved to London when she was 19, where she studied at the London School of Economics.

Before becoming a TV personality, she worked as an air steward. She started with a nose job aged 19 and went on to have dozens of other procedures.
