Story of the human Barbie Jessica Alves
She underwent surgeries for nose jobs, botox and fillers, pec implants, liposuction to jaws and legs, hair transplant, calf shaping, fake six-pack, filler to arms. She also had four ribs removed, and a “cat-eye” lift.
In total, Jessica’s spent more than half a million dollars on surgeries. Soon, her classmates couldn’t 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.
From the beginning Jessica Alves, as Rodrigo back then, wanted to become a male version of the Ken doll.
Now, she’s aiming for Human Barbie.
However, her pursuit of the ideal body hasn’t been far from dangerous. In April of 2016, Jessica was hospitalized with necrosis, meaning her skin began to die.
A hole began to appear on the nose at the same time as her septum appeared to come loose. At the same time, she had difficulties breathing and had to visit a hospital in Malaga, Spain.
She received antibiotics through an IV drip every eight hours, the Daily Mail reported.
Dangerous infection
Doctorn warned 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, which involved applying an acid-containing lotion to the face in Spain, Daily Mail reported. Following letting it soak through, she was going to peel off the old skin to reveal the fresh skin in place.
However, it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
